That skull rocks! Dunno what animal that is but it would be cool with some skin in the background? like the skeleton in the foreground and the real animal in silhouette behind?
Nice work

Thanks for the reply
The skull is of a Forest Baboon called a Mandrill, I really like that idea of the animal silhouette behind the skull Matthew, the actual skull is not quite finished yet as you can see but I'll give that a shot once im done. Thanks!  |

Looks real pleasing to the eye!
Perhaps add texture, just to see how it looks. And when you color the teeth, maybe make them have a more yellow tint than the bone (as is with most animals). I like the look of it, can't wait for an update! _________________ Stay Frosty!

The bone seems to want texture. Right now the bright highlights and so on make it look really glossy, like it was polished. Other than that it looks nice to me. Just keep working on it. _________________ Asurfael's Artpage
