I love the general idea of this monster and would really like to see you develop and improve it ^-^ Already the monster has alot of character, but the copy and flip took that away a little.
First off, i can see that this is lacking contrast, it looks really flat and youve got light sources coming from every angle. Choose 1 light source, it always makes it look better.
You have a really cool face/mask design, and its on a boring circle, so that really kills it. And the way the mask is shaped, it doesnt look like it would actually fit on the sphere.
The 3 legs on either side are copy and pasted, try and make 3 different ones and them copy n paste for the other side.
Im guessing the neck is supposed to be loads of vines supporting the head, well first up the black lines stand out to much and really spoil it. It would be good if you made seperate vines.
The mask, as i said earlier, i really love this. Id spend alot of time working on this to create character, like scratches, smudges. Maybe a shiney area on the cheeks and forhead to make it look generally slimey oil.
The legs look like pin on the donkeys tail, id say put them underneither or make little area on the main dome, the body, like semi circles at the bottom where the legs come out. So it actually looks like a part of his body.
And mainly, the crest in the centre, create a really cool pattern, maybe gold and spend time on that.
On the main dome also give that character, like bolts, scratches, rust, bends in the metal and so on.
Mainly work on the contrast, it lacks shape.
Overall, really good start. |
