hi all

I'm sending the head I started to do body
C&C are welcome pls.

thanks Peter.

is it a pre-colombian tiger mask ?

Sorry if I hurt you

I think at first that you should show us the wireframe.
I guess that there is some mistakes, especially around the eyes, the mouth and the nostrils- the shape in general - if it's supposed to be a real tiger.

Hi, Peter,

I agree with Piem. If it is not a mask then it looks a bit narrow to me. A tiger's head is really quite broad. Also the nose is more in-line with the top of the head.

Some wires would be good too. Are you using any reference?

Peter Salvatore · 4th June 2008, 17:23

hi

thanks

I use these two refs for the head
thanks peter

I think the bottom ref picture has been squashed a bit from left to right giving you a false view of how the tiger looks from the side.

Have a look at this one:

As you can see the bridge of the nose is much higher and extends further out than in your model and in your ref pic.

I found this one here http://www.vistawallpapers.com/img5044.htm

There's a nice big version to download.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on your progress.

I think you would be better served looking at a lioness instead of a tiger. I think the hair volume is disguising the form.

The bridge of the snout is also wider and flatter while yours is a little pointed and narrow.

For the body try to think what a cat looks like when it's wet, not as massive as what you're showing. Try the lioness again but stretch out the center torso to get it into a tiger shape and not as broad in the haunches and chest as a lion. The paws are to small as well I think.

thanks grendel
I think If I do the stomach part a bit fatter and musculer

then It might be better

thanks peter

Peter Salvatore · 9th July 2008, 22:46

hi all

still a bit left

thanks peter

That is one fat cat

The body definitely needs to be longer and thinner for a tiger (as Grendel suggested)

Noviski · 10th July 2008, 15:49

Maybe Peter is using a photo reference of a zoo tiger. With all the fur and all that lazy life - and free food (the tiger doesn't need to hunt for eat) - the animal becames fat.

Nice start, Peter. Did you see the Polyloop's french forum recently? There's a nice tiger modeling going on there, from Hugo, with a cool wireframe for your study.

Keep the good work.

Cheers!
