Centaur WIP

[dude]

Ok yesterday i started a project...I decided to model a centaur, now remember these pictures are after only 2 days of work. I still need to re-shape the horse section of him, it looks kinda boxy. But anyway just wanted to see what people think so far.

Looking good there, I really like the way the beard and hair are.

 

Keep it up...

Ive gotten a little work in . I've added hands, and made him taller. I also fixed the horse end of him, I had to change a lot of things, like bring the legs loser in to the body, curving the back, bringing the chest out, and shaping the legs. But its looking better

Centaurs are so cool! They're one of my favorite mythological creatures, but that's not saying very much because nearly every mythological creature is one of my favorites. Anyway, yours is extremely cool. Good job, and I can't wait to see more.

 

Another friend,

Reminds me of the first centaur I made:

Great job so far. I would work on the front view a little though. The legs are sticking out way too far.

[dude]

WOW! The 2 centaurs have a LOT of similarities. I truthfuly have never seen that picture before. I would really like to get the horse texture like you did, how did you do it?

[the_black_mage]

hey dude, i like the model. but the horse part seens weird to me. but other than that the man part looks awsem!

 

here a pic of what i mean

[jon]

i'm not happy that his front legs aren't in line vertically with his torso... he looks like he's leaning forward.

 

it is, however a great model!

 

here's my take on a centaur from loooong ago, but when etri gets updated, she'll have a larger, bulkier equine half: http://www.hash.com/imagecontest/August00g...y/jondarkly.jpg

I like your centaur! I dont think iI quite unerstand what you are talking about with the legs.

Heres is how I fixed the legs from the last front picture

[always_a_kid]

He could be talking about the view from the side. The legs on your centaur are slighlty behind the torso, and he thinks they should be in line. Here is a picture that I found online. I drew the pink area to show about where the leg is in relation to the torso.

 

What you have: [attachmentid=18845]

 

What I think he wants: [attachmentid=18844]

[the_black_mage]

thats what it was theb butt was to small!!!

i knew what it was i just couldn't put my finger on it.

[dude]

OOOhhhhh!!! OK I get it. I think I fixed it....well tell me what ya'll think. And I "enlarged" his butt for you mage.

[always_a_kid]

That looks even better! Great job! Perhaps it would be good to make the stomach a bit larger and rounder like in the picture I showed you, but that's all up to you. Anyway, keep up the good work.

 

Your friend,

-Always

[dude]

thanks ill try that! But i dont want him to be fat.

[always_a_kid]

Just because he's a bit larger doesn't mean he'll be fat. It could make him look a bit...buff, as my friend puts it. But cool! I can't wait to see more.

 

As previously stated, your friend,

-Always

[case]

wow does he eat anything i agree make him a bit more chubby like but yeah otherwise cool

[the_black_mage]

yeah thats what i mean not just the butt ya know.

[jon]

aside from all of the unnatural attention to his butt, i would mass him up a bit.

 

he also looks a little swaybacked... that is, the equine spine bows down in the middle.

 

it all really depends on how realistic you want the model to be, and ultimately... whatever looks good to you.

 

-jon

[dude]

I fixed his back and made him a bit more meaty. What do you all think?

I also think im gonna name him ... Any ideas?

[always_a_kid]

That's better but at first he looked...a bit...I don't want to be rude or anything...but at first he looked a bit more like a cow. Then after staring at him, he looks a lot better. It might be the belly, I'm not sure. The look is all up to you, though. Anyway, everything looks great.

 

-Always

[dude]

i think the belly is suposed to curve like in this image:[attachmentid=18955]

[always_a_kid]

I know. You're right. I just can't figure out what looks strange to me. Maybe it's the fact that it is a centaur They're strange no matter how you make them. LOL. It looks great anyway. Can't wait to see what more you do with it.

[dude]

I think it Looks like a cow because i straighten out his back too much.

Cows have straight backs, like this one:

[always_a_kid]

That's it! It's the straight back. The back legs look a bit boney, too, but other than that I think it'll look great.

[the_black_mage]

oh yeah now i see it!

 

edit: also i noticed the thighs were kinda misshaped compared to the other horse.

[case]

hmmm curve his back into a small slump then he we will look more liike a horse
