the main feedback on my creature that I received was that its shilouette was too simple and could be exaggerated. To do this I took a screenshot of the model in zbrush and opened it in photoshop where I could draw over it. I also tried to exaggerate and add features to enhance the shillouette. I gave it jagged edges for a threatening appearance and made the shoulders more bulky with giant horns wrapping around them to make it look heavier and more suited to battle
Anatomy study
I looked at the skeletons of various animals to get an idea of how my creatures bones would be made up. The main animals I drew inspiration from are bears and pangolins. I took the bears bulky front limbs and combined it with the pangolins long spine and short hind limbs to make a rough skeleton of my creature that I could draw over. For anatomy references I used the book Animal Anatomy for Artists by Eliot Goldfinger.
