That's awesome! I like the shape of his body and the hint of a face on his belly/hips.
The legs look a little too thin to carry his weight though. I like how they match his arms but I keep expecting him to snap a bone as soon as he makes one step.
As usual... perfect !
Finally :P Awesome, I really like the silhouette, balance of the masses and the details. Really great job!
Awesomely awesome design! Love the "crown" of the head and the torso! I know this is still WIP, but I have an interesting suggestion for how you can improve the creature's balance without changing the leg design- add a boney "crutch" to his patella. One thing I would love to see is more of the crown element executed in the design, and this would be one option of adding more of that element. There is some indication of that boney, spikey element in the ribs, but I think having it occur one more time would be a nice touch and add a little bit extra intrigue and unusualness to the design. =^)
Basically, have a bone, which could be spiked as well like the crown is, coming down directly from the patella and hitting the ground. This will add support for his center of gravity in my opinion without having to change the leg design.
This creature though could quite easily move like a Gorilla in which it relies mostly on its arms for support- just as good of a solution in my opinion, it really depends on where you want to go with this, which I'm sure you already have a plan. Afterall, this is a fantasy creature and you can do a lot with it that's less conventional. He could be a demon which is very hollow inside and therefore not have an extraordinary amount of weight. Or magic- magic always works to explain things ;^)
Your work is incredibly inspiring, and I am hopeful that my respect for it is well indicated with this suggestion on your creature. I know whatever the end result is, this will be, and already looks spectacular. =^)
Thanks for sharing your work!
Thanks very much for the nice comments and critique guys!!
You're right, the legs are a bit thin. I thought i should add some spikes to them as well and beef them up a little bit.
I'll keep all the suggestions in mind as it's still a work in proggress ;)
Thanks again,
Aris.
Your sculpts are the best. Awesome as always.

Across the East London skyline, armies of cranes are busy assembling industrial Coach Outletjigsaw pieces into seductively curved OlympicCoach Outlet stadia. But a mere javelin's throw away from this shiny modern Coach Outletmetropolis sits the Queen's Head, an aging East End pub, which, judging by the interior, Chanel Handbagshasn't changed much since London last hosted the Olympics in 1948. Once a popularCoach Outlet haunt for locals, the Queen's Head has been hemorrhaging drinkers and profits in Chanel Bagsrecent years, so landlord Bill Sinefield, who has 20 years' experience in the trade, Coach Factory Outletwas brought in by the owners in a last-ditch attempt to save the place from Coach Outlet Onlineclosure. Despite introducing drink deals and live-music nights, Sinefield is still Coach Outletstruggling to bring in customers. He reluctantly admits Coach Outletthat next summer, when the Olympics go to London, could be make or Louis Vuitton Bagsbreak for the Queen's Head. "You can't just build your business around the Games, Coach Factory Outletbut we are certainly in need of the boost," says Sinefield. "Times are pretty Louis Vuitton Bagstough at the moment."The story of the Queen's Head will resonate with pub owners Coach Factory Storeacross the U.K. What was once a cornerstone of British society has been slowly Coach Outletcrumbling since the 1980s, and the recessionCoach Factory Outlet has many predicting the death of the British pub.

Then in November, the government announced that it Coach Factory Storewould not take any action over the beer tie, a controversial contract that forces Chanel Handbagslandlords to buy expensive beer from the company Coach Outletthat owns their premises, a decision described by one union as a Chanel Bags"disaster for the pub industry." With a backdrop this bleak Louis Vuittonit's little wonder London's 9,000 landlords are hoping Coach Factory Onlinefor an Olympic payday.But if they want to gain from the Coach OutletGames, they'll need to find a way to pull tourists away from the big event. When deciding how to Chanel Bagsquench the thirst of the 11.8 million people expected Coach Outletto descend upon London for the Olympics, organizers overlooked Louis Vuitton BagsBritain's 900 breweries and awarded exclusive beer rights to Heineken, meaning the Coach Factory OutletDutch brewer will be the sole supplier of beer and cider in all Olympic venues. Chanel BagsOfficials defended the decision by pointing out that Heineken's U.K. operating company Coach Factoryis based in Edinburgh, but the country's pub community feels betrayed by the loss of the chance to promote British pub culture to hordes of tourists.
