Chinese New Year Of The Ox
Here is something I did since the Chinese Spring Festival is coming and this year we celebrate the year of the Ox! My main focus was its head... as you may notce! Anyways, that chinese charater means the word "Ox".
Yeah, I agree. This is cute. I especially like the subtle values and the trees in the background. If I had one critical comment to make, it would be that the texture on the horns seems a little strong, but I like the anatomy. Animals are always a challenge for me!
Knuckles > yes brother, I had made some research on ox before just to know the right structure of the head and the muscles in it... Animals are hard to draw from mind!
Anton > really? It did the same thing for me.. :D (thanks)
Craig > yes I kept a subtle value so that the eyes go first on the ox... regarding the horns you're right... I should adjust a bit more the texture. Thanks :)
