werewolf model i'm working on.

thanks [-z-]

here's the latest. i've done gums on the lower jaw, finished the inside of the mouth and done a huge amount of tweaking.

i'm not sure about the shape of the skull though.

I'm not a fan. Sorry- to me it looks like something out of a Pixar film, and doesn't fit the style of Nexuiz.

[heyok4]

heh, actually i was worrying that it looked a bit too much like something out of wallace and grommet.
i think it's the shape around the eyes. it far too smooth. i'm going to try and give it a different shape and sculpt some more detail in. maybe give it some eyelids.

Imho the cheekbones are too dominant atm and the eyes shouldn't that deep in their socket. And it look a lot less "pixar-ish" when you add fangs.

Agreed. Also, the regularity of the teeth, as well as the fact that they are sort of pointy rounded cones instead of sharp incisors makes them look comical. The cheekbones are too high and prominent, as well as the eyebrows, and imho the ears are not very canine. More like bat ears.

thanks for the feedback guys, it really helps.
i've fixed the teeth, altered the ears and reduced the cheekbones. i've tried to make the area around the eye a bit more realistic, but i'm not sure about it. what do you reckon?

I think something more along the lines of what white_haired_boy was working on would fit Nexuiz more. Here's the thread: http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=1038

interesting, that's not too different from mine, just the ears are smaller and it's got better eyes.

the eyes are something i really need to fix on my model. i've been concentrating on getting the skull the right shape, but it's still got those big startled eyes. i think i should do some proper eyelids and go for a meaner, more narrowed eyes.

[heyok4]

i've reduced the size of the ears and made them more vertical. i've also tried sculpting in some eyes. they don't look great, but it's getting closer.

Significant improvement. You might want to look at pictures of canine mouths though- I think it would look better if the cheeks came together less curved (wow, that wasn't very clear).

You might also want to try to make it look sci-fi. Exposed electronics, implanted things, etc.
