Nice progress shots! His mouth is looking good, and I like the way you\'ve done the pink in his ears. I\'m just not sure about the colour of the teeth! Rats\' teeth are bright yellow, like so:

Of course, if you\'re not going for ultra-realism (on a giant, sentient rat wearing armour!), then don\'t worry about it!

You\'re not choking mice there are ya?

Dammit! My secret is out!! lol

@mickc22: Ah ok! I guess you need the white so the yellows can cover better. I\'m glad the picture\'s useful!

 

[mickc22]

yeah, interestingly I did a color pick in PS and they were a little different to what I was intending to use, so yeah thanks for the pic

Coming along nicely Mick! I\'m digging those eyes.

[mickc22]

Thanks Matt

They may change before the end, there\'s just something about them, when I\'m holding the mini, that just doesn\'t quite \"do it\" for me
problem is, I cant put my finger on what!!

I like the eyes. I do find that the left iris (red part) is a little larger than the right one.

 

[Shadzar]

I would say give them teeth the look of a horses hoof.

Yellowish and chipped.

Very nice looking rat progressing here.

 

[mickc22]

teeth are done, and I\'ve re-done the eyes, they\'ve got a coat of gloss for protection, hence the glossiness of them

the pics are in the camera, will process and post \'em tomorrow

 

[mickc22]

AS promised..

here\'s a few quick jpegs to keep you going
I think the teeth may need a bit more doing to them, ends lighter, bases darker, not too sure at the mo

may have lightened this one a bit much

gonna do a couple of eye close-ups from a better angle later, so you can see the difference clearer

 

[Amazon warrior]

Cool! Eyes are one of the few places that it\'s permissible to be glossy- I\'m almost expecting him to blink! The teeth I don\'t think look quite finished yet, but the suggestions you\'ve already made will help, I\'m sure.

 

[mickc22]

extreme close-ups! Yikes!!

having looked at these I think I\'m gonna need to tidy up the veins now

left eye

right eye

and here\'s a better view of the teeth

 

[GreenOne]

Looking good.
The teeth could go a bit lighter as you said, and for extra-realism you could glaze the bottom with blood red, as the rats teeth are a bit see-trought.

 

[freakinacage]

wow looking great i echo that the teeth could do with lighter highlights, the rest is just right though

 

[ded2day]

It\'s looking great. The eyes are spectacular.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Mick personally I think the teeth are missing something. And I think it\'s a little bit of dark scratching marks.
At the moment they look smooth and without and form of dental decay/damage.
I\'d suggest adding touches of dark brown/black in the tops of the lower teeth and touches around the \"corners\" of the teeth at the gum lines.
Don\'t forget to make areas of the gums look \"Sore\" or inflamed to match.
(Can\'t imagine a Man sized rat being the most hygeinic of creatures.)

 

[freakinacage]

like this sort of thing?

 

[mickc22]

how about something like this

[freakinacage]

yeah but keep the general colour yellowy. just darken up the crap near the gums

 

[mickc22]

that\'s what I was thinking
