really nicely done, saw this in the wip section a while ago, are we gonna get a horse back pose, the typical horse raring back, on the sunset? Very nice, and yea, i too am glad to see some game art without the normal map. rock on!

Very inspiring. Iām also working on a game model, hopefully it will come out
as good as yours. 
Do you have a wire for the horse also? I was just wondering.

i followed the progress of your model for a while and it came along very nice. love the details in the texture, since i canāt do textures of that quality, so iam jsut al ittle bit jelious :wise:
but, itās really cool. i would like to see a new model very fast, so work work work neox ;D

i agree with auclair, i thought it had a little too many wrinkles too
pity about the triangles in the mesh, but sometimes itās almost impossible to get rid of themā¦
i think this could work great in a game, especially since it doesnāt have any special maps!

damn i donāt have enough time to do the pictures of tornado yet and donāt even have enough time to answer everyoneā¦ but these comments about the trisā¦ damn this is gameart, in the end it will be overall triangulated, i just keep the quads where i donāt need tris to give it more form, if I wanted to have it quadonly i would do that, but there is no need for working with quads for a game, this is not going to get meshsmoothed or something, so why the complaints about the tris in the mesh? They are all wanted and are there for a reason, working with quads only makes sense when working with subdivision surfaces, which is not the case

An excellent finished piece Neox, the comments about tris make no sense. I enjoyed watching this one develop in the game art forum. Well done!

Ok finally i have time to answer you guys in detail, iāll add the full body shots of tornado this weekend, iāll also add some higher res Shots of the face, with wires, one with hat and mask, one just with mask, one without the mask
Thanks for the support in case of hand painting, in fact iām currently playing around with normalmaps, it is definately a great technique, but i canāt support those who say, that with normalmap the prelighting should ādieā because itās not dynamical. Well, who cares about dynamic when its looking ugly? And pretty much all plain diffuse textures with normal mapping are looking pretty greyish, iām not a fan of that āstyleā, i hate Doom3, not for the really solid work they did on the lowpoly and highpoly models, but for the greyish unnatural look they gave their models with those textures. Iām a big fan of Bobo the Seal, his prelighted textures were always better then any normalmapped model that i saw.
thanks for the plug on the frontpage too, in fact having this for ray would make me more happy, there was more work and more soul, but however, seeing Zorro on the front is great to
@scrimski: i never wanted him to look like Liam Neeson, thats an accident, i never had any references of him, while doing zorro, but i definately didnāt want to do another antonio banderas 
@florian: she knows that this one is up to her thanks for the kind words
@auclair: yes definately, espacially on his arms, this part never worked really well, but i lost the interest
@thomas: mudge is the next on my list
@onelung: hmmmm shall i really rig and skin tornado for a pose? hmmmmmmm i donāt know as i said before this one isnāt in my interest anymore 
thanks for your support, iāll add a thread in the game art section for my latest model asap

Great job I loved seeing this from start to finish
I mean Zorro would have been enough but you had to add tornado. Great work! 5stars from me.

Das sagen sie hinterher alle.
But I think I said this in the wip scetion before and it isnāt an issue, I just canāt stand his āIch bin ja so betroffen, mein junger Padawanā acting in SW.
