Hmm very nice, the textures on the CD or a touch small tho :hmm: and I have a thing for textures being already compressed, and I don’t have the time to create most of them from scratch! Hmmm but the idea for the Rhino/Elephant skin is brilliant! Very nice indeed, and I just remembered I have my Dosch texture CDs I could use :D.
Thx much bud 
This may help, a side on view of an elephant I photographed at London Zoo some years ago, testing out my new at the time camera.

hope it helps u
Good Luck for the next you’re on the right way !
wow! lildragon!! That is just fab!! As far as a texture…a wrinkly/leathery/warty looking skin would be awesome…with some big gray/pinkish hairy warts…
And thank you for the link to the Middle Earth font!!:bowdown:
Lildragon, great model. I like your weapon choice; a hammer is quite unique
As for comments (mandatory over here): please don’t listen to the people who suggest mold/warts/pus.
Just keep him much like an elephant. Perhaps a bit of dirt, but don’t over do the “uglyness” That will look better.
(above is IMHO ofcourse)

Looking absolutely sexy lildragon! I really enjoy the finder details of the armoring.
I still the think the area where the bicep/upper arm connects to the forearm is to skinny. Looks a lil off IMO.
Can’t wait to see you bust out some nice textures…And that arm wrestle of course… 
Well it’s nice to see you have arrived at the texture stage. A very fierce creature fully armored,truely belongs to the World of LOTR.
I like the Rhino and Elephant skins DimitrisLiatsos suggested as well,they just seem to belong on your creature.Perhaps some wispy type fur to go along with it and some extra fun with Photoshop too would be nice additions.
I think a rust of almost a Black nature belongs on him.This creature looks to be very battle hardened,Not much time for polishing and care of his armor.Chips,scrapes,maybe a broken piece or two in the geometry of the armor.
Well I hope to see him in living color soon.Very nice thus far indeed.:beer: :thumbsup:flamedevil major kudos for those textures bud I’ll try them out. Thx everyone for your input thus far it definitely got me thinking 
here’s where I’m at with the uv texturing right now. Now to rid all those stretch marks 
salud
elephant skin sounds like a great idea!! whats it gonna be??
:buttrock: :wip: :wip:
go go go!!! go!!
Good modelling Lil D - your guy’s a bruiser.:airguitar
I’m interested in seeing the texturing…:arteest:
[shamelessplug] Hey Tito, what about the RANSOMACTIVE texture CDs I sent you?! [/shamelessplug]
Looks great! I wish I had more time to work on my 3D skillz! One day I will. Keep it up, bud.

really super man! I havent replied to this thread yet, but IM glad to see im not the only one who uses the colored checkerboard thing for uv’s…hoorah for circus colors
cant wait to see the textures man. :buttrock:
Fetus23 Actually I found the perfect texture
Dreamwave not the program just a uv sheet you can grab here http://www.aliaswavefront.com/en/Tmpl/Maya/html/index.jhtml;$sessionid$VUX0FEIAAR1NDQCLCVBRT4Q?page=/en/Community/Download/source_images/utility_markers/utility_markers_m.html
Edge3343 LOL!! you’re right though, I took an in-depth look through the cd’s today, and low and behold I didn’t know you had skins, well leather, so I took the binder leather texture and it was just what I was looking for seriously. I found everything I needed from the CD’s except for the skin, now I found it you gotta make a directory for creature skins next time heheh. But yeah its all there now
KingMob lol yeah… do… doo…do. doo… doo. doo
Back to it :wip:
:bounce: lildragon …Just wanted to say that i like your character very much . He has gravity and strength that shows on the model…i hope u finish him by Friday, if not surely finish him for the gallery section and definitely pose him.
Looks good.
When you finnish this one, I’ll vote for it. This is my favorite race from this challenge.
