I'm currently finishing up the whale, might take another stab at the Eagle sooner or later. I know that brown doesn't look too metallic, but I saw that pretty much all of the metals were silvery-gray, and I wanted the Eagle to look like it was made of copper or bronze.

Sounds good! Can't wait to see both of them!@Jon: I like how your project director only mentions any of my spruces when he says that my bull looks weird but good. I'm not quite sure what I should think of that, lol.
I can play with the rat abit as well, however. I was actually thinking about the concept one day, and then I get home and it was finished. Go fig...I've had a bit of an epic fail on the shading, looks more like stone than barnacles.
Anyways, here's the Humpback Whale:
Here's the Whale with water coming out of its blowholes, which one is better?
Well he didn't specifically mention any others but he was positive about all the categories that you have others in, lol.
Woops! That seems to happen to you alot! lol. Feel free to take a crack @ it. I checked and he is happy with the juvenile form but if you have an awesome new concept then feel free to redo that one as well. Start with the adult I would say.Jon, do you think you have a specific concept you want me to use for the baby Whale, or should I just randomly create something?
DUUUUUUDE! This guy looks great! I would say that the one without the water looks better. How comfortable would you be with trying like... more puffs of air/smoke? It might be easier to make look good. Also it could use a slight color shift so that it feels a bit more aquatic? I only say this because we have an Earth Dolphin so I don't want to assume that because this guy is based on a sea creature that people will automatically recognize that he is a Water type. Maybe like a bit of steel blue underneath the layer of barnacles and above the underbelly?I've had a bit of an epic fail on the shading, looks more like stone than barnacles.
Anyways, here's the Humpback Whale:
Here's the Whale with water coming out of its blowholes, which one is better?
I didn't sketch up a baby form but I'm sure you can come up with something. I would say probably something in this pose:
I also found that second one which may be a good referance for a juvenile humpback whale look.
I would say less barnacles (but still a few). Looking forward to it!Here's the [hopefully] final version of the adult.
I actually like it better like this, you can see breaches in his barnacle armor that exopose his skin and give it a bit more texture.
Yeah dude! Looks awesome!!!!!Here's the [hopefully] final version of the adult.

Anyway you could do puffs like that for the other two blow holes?Ok, here's the updated adult Whale
and the baby.
Those aren't blue veins, that's its blue head encrusted with barnacles. The adult has way more, thickened into a kind of "shield".Ok, here's the updated adult Whale
and the baby.
The adult is PERFECT! Thanks!
I think the visual issues with the juvenile are largely due to the fact that the blue under the barnacles is a different hue than the rest of the body. I played with it a bot and changed that hue and it looked a lot better. Also I agree that the big glowing red eye is a bit unnerving but I am not certain what to really do about it. OH! I think it would be good if you made the other pectoral flipper on the juvenile visible. Give it more a sense of depth. Other than those few things I think this guy is great!
Over all I think these two make a great set of sprites!!!This looks interesting, and there's already quite a bit done. Are there any creature areas that need urgent looking into? I don't know where to start :p
Yeah we are just about finished with the Creature Creation segment of this project.
If you are looking for a specific direction then we could REALLY use some new fire lions, lol. The ones we currently have are basically tracings of lion king characters. Thanks!Here's the improved whale.
No idea what to do about the eyes, I just enlarged the white reflection to look a bit more like a pupil, but...
EDIT: Is it okay if I peer edit the Fire Cardinal a bit?
Looks good! I like!Here's the improved whale.

ALSO! YES! Please feel free to make edits to the adult fire cardinal!
My idea is based off candle wax symbolizing the element of fire. My concept is better than my spriting :P
Here it is for those who can do better than me:
Peer edit of Cardinal. I didn't change much except a few markings and a more intense flame.
Sounds good! Can't wait to see them!
I like the concept, but like you said the actual sprites could use some work...

Here it is for those who can do better than me:
I like the extra flames and I like the IDEA of the black tribal-ish markings. However the actual execution of the markings did not go so well... they feel flat and not actually part of the bird's body.Peer edit of Cardinal. I didn't change much except a few markings and a more intense flame.
/homeschoolftw.
Just commenting to say that the tail on the cardinal looks awkward, like it's one segment of tail copypasted onto the base of the tail...I think it's 'cause of the shading, not sure. Just my two cents.School is stupid. lol I'll probably work during the weekend and all of the week of the 12th, so expect to see a lot of me! :D lolUsers Who Are Viewing This Thread (Users: 1, Guests: 1)
