Yes, the challenge is on  – great work by the way . . . There are a couple of issues for me. As we are re-creating someone else’s design I think it only fair that we match the character as close as, but hey, it’s up to you. Here is his final image. The artist’s name is: Symptom Child on Behance – he is French and this character is titled: Karhu. Have a look here: Artist
I would first focus on getting details finished before doing the textures. Meaning small things like wrinkles, fat, pores but this is just my process. Then for texturing I probably would take a lot from real pigs and work my way in? But hey I am not even at retopo stage yet :-0 – Currently the texture does not feel like it has focus
My update on shapes, I just have to keep myself back from diving into details the whole time! Feeling happy about most of the upper body. hands much better need a bit more love and then just need to look at feet again. Pigs have quite funny feet and to do a hybrid (man/pig) makes it tricky to not look like the pig man is standing on high heels haha. Hoping to dive into topo soon.

Getting there – I think the Tpose feels weird – almost as though he is leaning too far forward . . . by moving his shoulders forward I think it will resolve the side profile form. The hooves still feel strange – too big maybe? They look like shoes? The legs are getting better, but as it is a bipedal humanoid character maybe it still feels strange because it looks like the legs of an antelope or dog – I mean the shape of them is typical of how a dogs back legs look. love the hands and arms – face might be a bit narrow, but a boars face is extremely narrow?? Keep it up
Noted, I feel the character should be a lot more beefy. If you look at the concept art you will see a lot more neck and muscle mixed with fat.. Body builder that gave in on Mcdonald’s. Character’s balance is better when moving stomach out a bit.
My legs I feel are closer to concept – not 100% what you mean by the bipedal part (human legs?) For me the concept looks more like a quadruped type leg? Let me know!

[/quote]Hey man looking good. I think that your objects like shield and axe’s texturing is nice and getting there. I am not sure what your aim is with the fur, if you are going to cover the whole body then the next note I guess does not matter. But the texturing on the character itself still feels unnatural. Currently extremely busy with no focus maybe try to bring some elements in that would live in the real world?
But getting there, clearly “work” deadlines are not that hectic 🙂
