I think if you made all of the beasts the adult males then yes, it would look like Santa’s sleigh. However if you made it say like 3 juviniles, a female and one adult male, then I think there would be enough variation to stay away from the x-mas theme.

:buttrock: Wowza that’s great. He’s sweat and mighty. As for the horns, I think theywould add more sweatnes to him. Just try it,eventually you could remove them :p. I thought of a humorous character myself. I would make a woman carrying the grosseries from a supermarket. Whata you think, would that make a good Beast of Bordun?

I like ZrO-1’s idea, variation would definatly be an asset. As for the eye’s, don’t make me take the next flight to Argentina and hit you over the head They are to human, they are destroying your fantasy, mythical style creature theme. The eyes at the moment, seem a bit comical. But then, maybe you have something up your sleeve, so I’ll see. … :shrug:
Heeehhehehe, later buddy.

Oh boys!!! You want everything!!! :shrug:
You all want to make me work like a beast of buden!!
I personnaly was slowly inclining myself for the no horn version, thinking that the horn + the huge harness could be too much.
But i will go for the removable vertion of the horns so .
Crash------> I’ve seen your beast Crash, it looks really freaky but cool. I will do some post soon.
Apt Pupil -----> Hehehe Apt, it would be an honor to have you here and 
!!! But i’ will change the eyes :sad: . Do you preferd the old one? I was looking at them right know. Or maybe some NO pupils glowing ones? :drool:
I’m thinking on the bump map actually and in many details which include the eyes.

The eyes are tough heh, I remember an old entry of mine where I came in fourth because I screwed up with the eyes (sob and you came in first you . . #%*) I kind of understand where your project is headed so I could understand why you want to have eye brows, but maybe,
HOLY Sweet mother of pearl!!, I tried fiddling around with your picture, and now. . . I can certainly understand the difficulties of your beast’s eyes.
Well, after fooling around with it for a while, here is the best of five I came up with. An “Improvement,” I don’t know:shrug: Don’t laugh (Something like this, but not this necessarilly)
Anyways, this is just a possibility of many, whatever you come with is bound to be good.
Good Luck

I Have been working on the eyes. here is the result. Not so human now. I will made more swirl stuffs, but in the bump. No more model i think.

Great change Fedron. I love the new eyes. I think you changed them just enough. They still have a ‘feeling’ of humanity to them…but not so disturbingly. It’s just enough to make the creature seem intellegent and emotive without being outright human looking.
Fantastic job. :applause:

ZRO1-----> Hey thanks ! Hope to finish something.

That’s a cool multi-legged beast you got there. I like the idea of circular details, it really works for him. I wonder how he moves, must be fun to see him twich his back like a catapillar and having the legs try to keep up, hehe. Could be cool for you to try that out.
