ART WAR | Elaburds the mountain guardian | colinpower88

[colinpower88]

Hello, this is my start for this challenge, a character called Elaburds; he is a mountain guardian (how can see in the title)... the mountain of my fantasy!
Look likes as a animal or semi beast, between lion-bear-human.

These are my research and references

In the first time, i sculpt in Blender my idea

Hi guys, this is little updates after weeks spent on my real work

Hi! I really like your idea and reference material. For his proportions: I'd say his head is really too small (I know it's a stylized choice but it doesn't feel good) and his upper arms too long - it makes the arms bend in a weird way toward the lower arms.
Furthermore, I'd expect the knee caps and his toes to be larger.

These are just some thoughts that could help convince me of the design

Thanks for the advices, but the small head is a choice of style; but i'll see to add something
