Bear Head Sculpt

Title can't be empty.

There's a problem I've found I have when I'm modelling. Trouble modelling without a reference. I've been waiting since before it was announced for blender to get a dynamic sculpting feature (I'm not kidding, I figured it was only a matter of time) and I've been spending some time, really few-minute spurts over a few days, checking it out. I need to do a bear character and a raccoon. So I figured I'd try sculpting them before I model them. And here we have this.

I did it freepaw. No references except my memory. And I think I nailed it.
Expect a raccoon to follow. And a big-cat. And a new canine. More realistic than Ace. And a reptile. And a bunny.

Sculptris and ZBrush can SUCK IT! >:3

looks nice

Thanks :3

ZBrush can indeed "SUCK IT!" :P Never really used Blender's sculpt tools though, and good job! :D Though his head looks a little rounded. Did you at least look up bears on google/whatever beforehand? :P

I used to only use it for smoothing out a box modelled model. But this is using a new feature, DynTopo, I imagine you've heard of it. But if not, it's basically Zbrush-like sculpting. Which is why I said they could suck it X3

No I didn't, I was going by memory, but if you can clarify a bit, that'd be cool :3
Although if you're meaning it's too rounded for a bear without fur you're totally right. Freaky looking things they are shaved...

Basically, the lower part of the jaw is too rounded and smoothed out into the neck. If you look at bear muzzle's on google images, you'll notice they're more blocky and extruded (sorta like a rectangle)- yours is smoothed into the neck, like a cylinder with one end smaller/bigger than the other.

Again, I'd look on google or some sort, analyse the anatomy and then analyse the differences between them and your model.
I think this one sorta shows what I mean.

It's still a good model, and you can tell it's a bear~ Just think it needs a little tweaking~ :>

(another image to possibly analyse with: http://kids.discovery.com/img/images/polar-bear-head-300.jpg )
ALSO: bear in mind this is just my personal opinion; I'm a little prone to nit-picking animal anatomy :P So it's (your model) probably right. *shrug*

I think I see what you're getting at, the curve needs to be sharper. Since I'm eventually going for realism, I better focus on anatomy ;3
Part of the problem I think though is that I didn't really sculpt any neck. While I'm tweaking I might as well turn it into a full bust.

And thanks for the crits :P

Actually from what I can see it looks like I need to sharpen the curve on the side as well huh?

yeah, I think you went with a cylindrical look rather than a rectangular one. Still a pretty good start though, and should be very easy for you to tweak~

And you're very welcome~! Everyone needs crits- they just have to be done right~ ^v^

Welp that failed. Was tweaking according to your crits, started on the coon and accidentally started saving over my bear 'facepaws' Recovered back to the one I uploaded but my changes are gone. Oh well...
I'll just do it at the retopo stage X3

D: I think I done that once, only it was a car or something X3
Ohwells, at least ya have something to work from~! :3
