I May change him a little later but I'll see what people think so far. For now I'm moving onto the rider.

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

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.

Cool, nice to see a different take on the theme.

I must confess though, as soon as I say the render of the deers head, I did want to shoot it.

It must be the redneck in me:)

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..
