Demon Raptor WIP
« on: May 24, 2012, 02:33:17 pm »

So I'm finally adding dinosaurs to my game, because it's a well known fact that everyone can agree dinosaurs are awesome.

As of right now, I've got a pretty generic Raptor modeled out. He's cool and pretty intimidating. But not quite as demonically intimidating as I'd like him to be.

I'm allowed to make parts of his body out of stone. Anybody got any neat Ideas I could use to deck out my dino?

Wow! I really like this one!  If you want it to be demonic, maybe try using even darker colors and maybe make the eyes smaller since the bigger the eyes, the more you get a 'cute' effect.

I've actually tried to slice the eyes in all kinds of ways. Smaller eyes simply do not look good.

While large eyes can be used to make something look cute. they can also be used to make things look intimidating. When you see something with large eyes, it feels like it can see everything. Like the eye of Sauron.


Made some changes, looks more intimidating after I made the eyes even wider to give an insane face. I've also added huge red spikes all over the place:

Hmm, yeah, that definitely does look scarier.  Maybe some really short spines as a ridge going down the back?  Not too much though or it might start looking cluttered.
