Well I'm back from the dead to redeam myself.
Alot came up half way though the last challenge being the reason I didn't finsh. With that in mind I'll be finshing him off when I have finshed this challenge. Anyways.............. Here is what I have so far.
Hopefully this link will fix any problems you might of had

I May change him a little later but I'll see what people think so far. For now I'm moving onto the rider.
I quite like it. A lot different from the others so it gets marks for originality. Pants is right - it's much less brutal and more feminine.
I think you could probably do with a bit design with the reins and the saddle. There is potential there for some feminine, pastel colours and maybe some celtic/fantastical motifs much like you've done with the brand on the rump/hind leg. Check out some Final Fantasy 10 artwork on the net - quite different from other FFX direction and has some of the most cohesive and intelligent fantasy clothing design.
Really like the head texture - the 'doe-eyed' look gives off a feeling of real innocence.
While I like the steed very much, I think a little more thought could go into the rider - there doesn't seem to be many defining characteristics to her, aside from being pixie-ish. Perhaps a different weapon or something? A slingshot attached to the staff? Go to town on things like clothing, hairstyles and maybe matching motifs to go with the steed to suggest some form of relationship?
I think this design has the potential to kick a lot of ass but needs a little tweaking.
And yes, I'm aware that it's a WIP. Good stuff.
well I went a little better then before but once again I'm going to fail [xx(]
Something came up in the middle of Challenge so I lost alot of time to finsh off my models. I have finshed the Riders Head and textured it, so I had something to show. I also did some facial expressions if you want a look. anyways..

I'm going to texture up my last challenge model (yes its finshed). So look out for it.
Nice Job and an interesting idea, a lot less brutal then the rest of us. So much divercity in this comp and a lot of big animals :)
Only crit I have is that the head is too broad and flat, like it needs squishing in at the sides.
But nice model
