Hi guys,
I am currently working on a warg rider similar than the ones in “The Hobbit”-movie. Please let me know what you think could be improved. It is modeled with 3ds Max and ZBrush and rendered with VRay. :arteest:
Best,

Not sure about getting his eyes so far from his ears… seams weird and unnatural.
Also the forehead seams flat. You should try to relay on the Hyena, there a feel to it:
In Hobbit, it’s clearly flat but the eyes and ears has a better distance.

Hi,
thanks for the advice. I was trying to follow more the original reference from The Hobbit that you posted but somehow was not successful to recreate it. The head itself looked fine but in combination with the body it always looked very wrong. In the end I actually chose to follow a hyena reference, similar the one that you posted and made some creative decisions to it, as to flatten the forehead and change the ears. If I kept the shapes too round together with the fur it looked more like a teddy bear, and not scary 
Best,
Jonas
