Vulture stuff

[dismantled]

Hey all.. this is my vulture character I have made... it willl be an addition to the Vulture Train design i am working on..this was completely done in Zbrush and photoshop.. colored with polypainting/zapplink.... built using zspheres2

C&C welcome

Looks awesome! Excellent use of zsphere sketching.

Very nice!
The sculpting of the skin gives the right sensation of skin of a bird/chicken and the texture is good too, but the use of ZS2 is really amazing!

The only tip I could tell you is about the beak: the tip of the bottom part should follow the curved form of the upper part, it should point down and not up as you did, but it's a fantasy character, so it could be!

looking great! specially the head and neck. the humanoid anatomy is pretty accurate too. I just want to make a small suggestion if you don't mind. the legs could be given the bends and curves the human leg has. attaching an image to show u what i mean. should be easy to do with masking + transpose + move, rotate etc ). ignore this if you are going for the straight legs of a bird such as the stork etc.

Floydshayvious:thanks.. glad you like the zsketching...

thedust: thanks for the feedback..still debating weather or not to change the lower beak part.. wanted the lower portion to read like teeth more so then beak parts..hmm

moonlitmaverick:thanks....I think you advice will add more of a dynamic feel to character.. which i would like...

This is amazing!!! I'd love to see the whole project when it is done!!!

I've tried to create characters with the Z-Sketch method, but I always end up stopping short because of certain areas that pinch and poke out when I smooth them.

Thanks all for your comments and feedback . I fixed the legs on the bird will post IMGs when I get the chance.
Here is the latest addition to the Vulture design projects... the Vulture Train Engine... all major design elements sculpted in ZBrush (using shadow box and zspheres 2) with extra parts modeled in Max...
The painting and rendering done in zbrush... with help from photoshop..will post some of the zbrush raw sculpts.. when i get a chance
C&C is always cool

Love the Vulture Train! Amazing! I wish I had thought of that.

Great job ! This vulture theme is great, keep it up ! The train looks nice, it might just lacks a bit of specular on some areas, even if it's rusty and used.
The vulture man si great, especially the right eye. Good job. =)

Great work that's all I can say.

Keep it up
