NICE!! Hey just as a word on critique, I love the model, however it seems you have the shell continuing under the belly and from what i can see in all the official art it is just like the rings on his limbs, a coloration of his skin not a continuation of the shell. Also if you could some how make the curve at the base of his neck a little smoother so it doesnt come out then make a 90' curve that would be fantastic, it looks painful for my tortoise friend.

That's my fault for not showing a better angle.

The shell does in fact wrap around his skin instead of just being connected to it. It's not his skin suddenly colored grey.

See for yourself:

Spoiler:

As for his neck, i'll change that later seeing how that isn't too big of a deal.

Thanks for the feedback

I hope so too

Also, it turns out I couldn't adjust the neck too much without it merging into other parts or without changing the shape of the neck. So I only made a slight change for now.

Anyway, aside from that, do you guys think Torkoal is ready for approval? Any last minute things I may need to do?

- 19 Nov 2013 00:37 #89361 The model is not yet for approval yet. Here are my reasons why.
1. Add a mouth to him.
2. Make his shell a tiny bit shorter.
3. Make Torkoal have a brighter texture.

instead of stating real reasons why this model is not ready, here are some pictures that i suggest you follow:

Thanks.

It looks like my main issue is the head and neck. I assumed as much. I have to dramatically change the head shape. The mouth area is going to be the BIG problem for me. I'm not sure HOW i'm going to make it like the picture, let alone without needing to re-texture the whole thing.

How the heck am I going to do this? This is not going to be fun lol.

- 20 Nov 2013 05:15 #89508 mmmmmm, for the neck, just make it a tad bit smoother curve and less of a 90 degree like bend like in the picture and for the head. For the mouth, theres already enough guide for that in karry's pics.

a tip to easily know where you're drawing the mouth since the mouth part is curved: make an outline on the mesh using edges! it works trust me. you can also see that same outline when uv mapping so no need to go guessing on how torkoal's mouth texture will shape like in the render

Making the mouth isn't the problem, it's just getting the head to a shape where I can make the mouth is what the issue seems to be. This shouldn't be difficult for me at all, but it just is.
