Just a lizardman model for a game. Not finished yet. Even the head is not exactly connected to the body, hehe.
Would appreciate an advice from someone familiar with lizard anatomy, or someone who rigged a "dog-legged" character before.

hey whats up, I made a lizardman once too. Rigging the feet really isnt a problem. You just put the knee in the knee position, and then the heel, where the heel is, raised off the ground, and then you have the foot bone angled down and the toe bones extend out of it. Probably easier to upload a pic but im lazy.

anyways, if you're curious, check out my site: http://scottjonsson.wordpress.com/

you can see the lizardman I made a couple years ago.

Hey, your lizardman is pretty awesome.
Now i am torn with desire to make mine more slender, and i probably will.

Update, now its whole and with all required body parts (ah, well, except eyeballs, teeth and tongue).

I think the arms are a bit absurd length wise. The forearm bulge also seems a bit overdone. Watch your poly flow on the biceps, try not to ever have any 5 sided polys. I also think the hips blend into the thighs too much. Seperate them a bit. I think you have too much contrast between really large bulges and thin parts like wrists. Keep it all thicker or all thinner.

(just thoughts)


also, show your model in more of 3/4 view. Easier to judge.

Thanks !
Speaking about that, i finished unwrapping the guy, anyone wants to help me with painting a texture ? Nothing fancy, just a very basic diffuse map.

Also, nobody actually knows why images appear lighter here ? Wha ?

The character design is awesome! Did you paint that?

No, i didnt. Its from deviantart. I chose about 10 lizardmen sketches, and took this one as base in the end.

If i could paint like that - i'd also do a texturing work, instead of begging here.
