Hey,
I have ben working on this Sabre tooth for quite some time basically trying to redo models I did back when I begun. The main goal really is to just improve the quality of my models.
Any feedback on the model so far would be greatly appreciated, I am mainly concerned of the animals body more than anything at the moment.
Many thanks in advance.
Yeah I’ve been using references mainly of the tiger and lion, and then using what I could find on concept of what a sabre tooth may look like.
I Probably should have posted up the reference images aswell.
I’m just going to go off of the images I’m pulling up off google.
From the front… The head could use another pass I think. The muzzle isn’t a distinct enough shape. The tiger pictures I’m looking at look like an upside down heart connected to the skull. Yours doesn’t taper in while going towards the skull. The eyes I think are too big. Or the head (not the muzzle) is too small in roundness.

The mouth looks big. The teeth might be throwing you off. You might want to just get the jaw line right before throwing those in.
From the side it looks mostly good especially towards the middle. The hump in the shoulder could be pointier I guess, and you could probably tone back the muscles but that’s up to you really.

The ankles / feet look thin. The legs look a little too sculpted. They almost have human proportions. The big cat pictures I’m looking at right now have pretty fat legs. Almost straight to the foot without any muscle definition. And big fatty feet.
The chest hangs down too. Their legs look pretty stubby.
I mean in general I would just fatten it up and make a bunch of droopy skin. And then work on the head some more. Looks pretty good though.
Sorry for such a late reply was out of the country.
Thanks for the feedback, I will get on the modifications of it hopefully it looks better, the teeth did throw me off trying to make sure the teeth didn’t go into the mouth. when I am done and I will update with more renders.
Cheers again for the help.
