Oh sure, it's my pleasure, thank you~ :) The side view is nice, the problem is on the eyes. :) The front view, need to fix the face and the eyes.

It's hard to make the big cats, I'll try to explain my idea:

The lion's eye shape is a little circle+ triangle on the black eyelid contour, so do other big cats like tigers, jaguars and leopards. The eyes will be a little oval. If you put the eyes on the wrong place, that may be another animals like some extinct animals. :)

The model is a female Asian lion, so I only edit the female. Here's the real animal pics, you can see the cheek, is from width to narrow:

So, the new fixed one will like this, I didn't fix too much on the face:

So I edited the head a bit, and I think the body is coming along nicely, too. I'm not 100% happy with everything at this early stage, but I think it's ok for a WIP :P

I really love it Julius! I think the critiques RDingCue gave you are very good
There are some points though, that I think were better on Julius' model
I think the cheeks were actually better, since they are pretty 'chubby', though the snout itself is kind of thin.
so maybe you could contrast that a little bit more on the model?
oh well, I'll try to explain that on skype, is maybe a bit better ;)

It's looking amazing, however I still see some issue with that line around the eye, I'll try to explain with a picture:
(Original -> My edit)

As you can see in the left the black line at the front of the eye just disappears at the front, however it should instead continue in that darker line at the side of the nose, which in turns follows the shape of the nose. (I also rotated the eye a bit so the black line fit better).
Some refs:

I hope you understand I'm only saying this because I really love the work you are doing and I'm trying to help making it look as good as possible, I also know it's annoying to be asked to edit your work again and again, I won't be offended if you don't want to take my suggestion.

Hmm yeah, I understand what you mean... I just don't find a really high quality nice ref that I could use...Ya know, I'm skinning this lioness on 2048x2048 px, so finding refs isn't always easy... So if you have a nice ref, tell me and I try it ;)


Btw. guys, I'm really happy how this goes on here! This big criticism thing works in such a friendly and productive way, I'm reall proud of this! Because criticism is so important to make things the best way posssible. Thanks to you all guys ;) Keep it up!

It's looking really great Yukon. I don't know if it's the angle of the picture but the head looks a little big for the body and the skin of the head looks liter in color than the skin of the body...but anyway it is the best looking lion I've seen yet!!

You're doing very very well!!!!! although it looks a little like the African lion.(from the full body pic) :p )
But still very nice!!!!!
About what lgcfm said, haha maybe I didn't skin well on it, just be careful when you skin the lion. :D

p.s. the male has the narrow face. :)

So I think it's quit obvious, that this one is th female, but since this is going to be a complete download, (dunno what exactly you thought :P), so there will be a male, too of course ;) But the male will be more or less a female with testicles and mane, (can't think of more differences) , so I'm finishing the female first, then the male.
