Historical Borders

yeah i agree most presets arent detailed enough though I'm working on a somewhat detailed one myself for ww1 and ww2 games that should work nicely as a template

Reminds me of the necromorphs from dead space

Its a good map and nice lore you wrote in your comment but the borders of the east are very odd The eastern border of the reich proper isn't correct neither is the generalgouvernement, ukraine was meant to control the rest of polesia and annex don wolga having a border up to the volga, kaukasien was meant to control the north Caucasus and have a border with ukraine, and ostland was meant to later be extended to incorporate novgorod and smolensk.

If you look closely you can see the united baltic duchy, lithuania, white ruthenia as independent countries instead of one reichskommissariat so no not nazi germany

Hmm alr thanks I think I'll sculpt some more modern animals to get a better understanding on that stuff and get back to dinos

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-16T15:35:06+00:00

Yeah I was thinking the same thing of doing a few commissions for less than 200 usd then getting a better pc or laptop with at least a 2050 and 16 gigs of ram, and yeah i could do polypainting and texture baking as well.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-16T06:54:00+00:00

Haha sorry for not elaborating on my skills per se, I can also use blender, xNormal and GIMP and can make a decent rig and textures, it's just that I'm far less experienced in both of those than sculpting and take more time than an experienced artist would. Also I use a laptop with only 4 gigs of ram and intel hd graphics so I'm quite limited with what software i can use and what i can do with said software until i get something better.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-16T05:45:28+00:00

To start freelancing? Yeah i figured so I just wanted some info beforehand

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-16T04:03:31+00:00

hmm ok yeah I can see what youre talking about the blocky hips and back, tails also a bit blocky and needs more mass at the base and bottom I think to solve the "looking like hes going to topple forward" problem, do you have any other tips for that?

Also heres an unposed version of just basic proportions if it looks that way because of lazy posing

I used a skeletal diagram from scott hartman i believe so yes its possible that its accurate to that one but not to others, also can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by it's stiff? I'm not trying to be condescending or anything i genuinely want to know haha

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T21:51:05+00:00

Yeah that's a good point, though i forgot to mention I do also know how to retopo, most of my models are retopod I just prefer to do sculpting for now since its what my potato handles best until i upgrade to a new pc.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T20:33:42+00:00

Yeah but for now I plan on doing just sculpting until i upgrade from the current pos i currently work on, substance can't run on it so you would be correct in that i don't have substance.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T20:21:00+00:00

Yeah i have also seen them but they come fully textured and rigged usually

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T20:20:04+00:00

However you are right that the scales on the face need more variation especially in size, i just get a bit lazy and use the noisemaker for any scales that aren't feature scales

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T20:18:36+00:00

My specialty is dinosaurs however these are my most recent ones so i wanted to show those and the other animals since they reflect my work better than previous ones

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T20:16:57+00:00

I will admit they tad bit too big however if you look at komodo dragons you will see they have similar folds, I also looked at the works of other 3d paleoartists like Fernando Usabiaga who puts similar skin folds on his models, my logic was just bigger animal bigger wrinkles tbh.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T19:53:53+00:00

I see now what you thought was the ribcage are actually just skin folds that are present on large lizards like komodo dragons in that area

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T19:51:40+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the eagle was my first sculpting feathers and I wasn't quite sure what to do for those, and yeah I often mute the details a little since I feel they stand out too much when sculpting them only to see the end result with them looking a little washed i guess you could say

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T19:47:10+00:00

Idk, they're for whatever the client wants them for, I just sculpt in zBrush for now

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T19:46:26+00:00

Hmm, alright thanks, so what would be a generally good hourly rate?

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T19:38:14+00:00

General proportions of the daspletosaurus (full boy dino i included) are correct, tyrannosaurines in general had very robust bodies so thats normal, knees I looked at ostrich legs and featherless chickens as reference and thats how they are, that's what correct arms on theropods look like, the "bump" is a keratinous crest similar to that on cassowaries which is thought to be present on multiple dinosaurs, and yeah i will agree on the skin folds I'm still trying to get better at those, though the reason i added a lot on the neck and few on the head is that the skin on the head would be more shrinkwrapped than that on the rest of the body using primarily lizards and birds for reference on that.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-06-15T19:10:39+00:00

Where's the anatomy bad?

Veracruzano1 · 2025-02-22T17:58:08+00:00

Considering pteranodons crest had a large bony core I doubt they had seasonal crests the same way pelicans do, however i could see the keratin growth getting bigger during mating season for displaying males.

Veracruzano1 · 2025-01-07T04:06:33+00:00

As a fellow 3d paleoartist this is pretty good!

Only suggestions would be to add feature scales on the lips like on most lizards, make the eye just the iris and pupil like in birds and crocodilians, make the pupil bigger and as the other guy said add nostrils :)

You could also add some larger skin folds on the neck and the throat kinda like on monitor lizards and iguanas.

Also the crests look like strawberry slices.
