The UV should be fixed, it is calling for an update. Some of the animations need some work, for Stand - 2 make sure they move their heads different directions and at different times. For Death you need to make it happen slower. Perhaps slowly fall down on to his side then in his final breathes, lift up his head and make a loud screech.

The area where his skull should be should be more visible, right now it looks like he has a never ending neck. The arms should be much thinner compaired to the massive legs it should have, and the claws/nails don't look great. They look pryed upwards and he only has one on each leg / arm. You desperatley need to give him a new saddle and when the skin, which is being made, is done you can use that for it. Also, his tail needs to be longer, it looks small and baby-like. He is a manly raptor!

Also, from what I can see.. The troll on the left is an Ice Troll and the Troll on the right is a Forest Troll. I do not see any Jungle Trolls.

Overall pretty nice. I would agree with Donut, 3/5.. The animations need some touch ups and the mesh just needs some finalizing. I love your model but there is still a bit of room for improvement.

A final little note I wish to leave: "I am only trying to give you the best critisism possible, not make everyone hate it. We all know you are very skilled and we want to keep it that way."

Told you Lord.

Another problem is that with his walk, if you look at an animal with a tail, when they walk their tails move from side to side, not just up and down.

Finnaly man thank you GOD. Someone finnaly made this model. A little messed up with the face but overall is awesome 5/5
i love it. A troll riding on a raptor very cool 5/5 :)

I hate how some people don't even download the model, or just look at it and say, "I like raptors imma give it a 5/5 =D,"

make some without raptors i like them the trolls with spear 10/5

That would be cool to see, though it would be a waste of time. Simply giving a troll a spear. Why don't you find a spear attatchment and attatch it to the Troll model?

Why? Why put hopes and self-esteem down to the dirt and then mop it up like a rag? Just because it's not perfect dosn't mean that it's not usable in fact I think it's really awsome just the way it is! And btw, just too shove your own "kindness" in your face, I wrote this because I am only trying to give you the best critisism possible. :nemad: LET THE HIPPIES LOOSE!!

I agree with Hawking. A new spear would be fine, too. You're getting better every day, T

A lot of that didn't make sense. Anyways, I was saying that because I don't want it to sound like it sucks. I think it is awsome, but these are simply some ideas on how to make it even better... Anyways, lets get back to what we should be talking about.

Lord_T work on the raptor a bit, make tail longer, neck and front part of the body shorter, as people says work on anims and the model would be pretty nice. :cool:

I think it's preety good. as i dont know to model and compile, i'll give it a 4/5 next 10 days (cuz i joined today and have to wait 10 days b4 i can rate) other than that you could have added more pixels (not too many), just a little bit, to give it that shape of a desastruous raptor-rider
