I think his right arm looks like it is further forward...don't know if that makes sense or not. Maybe his hammer should be at a little bit of an angle. I'm not very good at critiqueing...I tried though! Other than that.... very sweet character! Glad to know your alive!;O) Lookin forward to seein more stuff!!;O)

mmmm... Beefalo is delish.

I think I've seen that stoplight hammer in use before... if not thrice times before.

I love the hands. I like the defined fingers and the blob hand. The image as a whole is gorgeous. There's alot of boldness.

Interesting study of the mithological creature. I'll come back soon, see ya!

yeha I really like the buffalo head.. and torso.. but um hating everything else... think i'll rework and update this peice.. a little salvage Ops if you will.. Thank you all for your kind comments and suggestions I really apperciate it

Dave Dick said...

Yeah that big buffalo head, huge shoulders are awesome - sweet drawing!

Chris Graf said...

sweet dude...you're rockin the wacom. now buy one allready!!!

milo said...

Awesome update!! When u get a chance, post some more goodness!!!;O)

ON the update::

The right leg makes me a a bit squirmy. THe hoof seems off, and to compare the legs, it seems each one is constructed entirely differenly.

But what is rocking are those fur pants.

The head and the body are gorgeous. Simply rippling. Abs like that give me an o-face. But not on a beefalo... or is it that I do like them on a beffalo?

I like buffalo... I like buffalow with human bodies who look like they could injur something hehehehe
awesome stuff, I really dig yer creature designs!

Unknown said...

I really like the rework you did with this design. The old one wasn't bad, but the new one has amazing anatomy to it. Those hands.....damn I'm jealous..must go practice drawings hands now....If I had to make any crit and this one is just me being picky...The perspective of the hoof on his left leg is a little off.....but thats about the only thing I can crit on this killer design.

Dan said...

the update is for surely rockin' dude, really loveing the proportions. The hands are not as strong as usual for me tho, not enough palm and too much finger, just anatomically wrong (im just talking about the hand closest to us). And that head man...wow...i love it, so awesome, only crit is the horn closest to us comes off as flat, given his 3 quarter pose that horn should be coming at us.

cheers!

Dan Elder said...

Thanks crits guys... I ushaully work closer to the drawing then I do far away.. expecially when im doing detail work... Crylic.. your right that horn lokos like a paper cut out.. I think its the cast shadow below it that flattens it out. and the lines don't follow the contour very well... also the legs crits are spot on. that abck leg I like and looks good but the front leg just lokos odd.. maybe i'll make the changes in a bit... thanks to all who leave comments or just appreciate ym art.

I love the fact that it's a buffalo's head, it really suits! Better than the ususal bovine-y bull-ness that people feel compelled to draw :)

Lauren said...

Sweet! Love the head especially :) Very cool stuff overall! I noticed you're part of FatKat studios in Canada! That's awesome, what a small world, I did some character inking etc for the show FatKat's doing with World Leaders Entertainment!
