hey nice creature man, only crit would be the muscles that it looks a bit buffy, but in a weird sens.

Keep the buffy nis, but try to deform the muscles a bit better.

Keep it up love to see it textured!!!

I wouldn't say buffy, more blocky.

This is probably just because he isn't through with the model yet.

The animal looks domesticated, so maybe the owner trimmed his nails? =)

My only crit is the lower mouth looks a bit odd, maybe it is just the angle. but interesting design none-the-less.

I really like the helmet and saddle!

Wow,

I love that pose.

You have the most unique and creative (also, funny) poses of anyone I have ever seen!

Maybe you should create a video for that lol, Posing 101.

But seriously, good job, from the last angle the mouth looks fine.

very nice - especially the pose - though I agree with R-Tillery that he needs some more claws for the outer toes.

Some advice

This 4 legged thing looks really nice. Did you think of a use for it?
Anyway, here are some ideas:
*Try to delete it's upper lip, and give it some nasty-looking big teeth, and maybe a rhino horn.
*It's ears look too imaginary, try something smaller.
*You should try taking on of the older versions, with the cute-looking black eye and add it to the latest version as a baby(with some modifications.
Good luck with that,
Benny

EDIT: btw, I also agree with R-Tillery about the claws.
