-Grendel: good looking lizard man. but still doesn't beat the hell outta my lizardman model >
haha, just kidding. anyway you need to work more on how you UV things up. some parts are stretched. also, make the transition between the geomerged parts better so it'll avoid clipping. aaaaand make your materials two sided so it'll look less weird in-game OK?
that said, i see potential in you. keep it up.

 

[Doom Wolf]

Just noticed file size.... I'll see what i can do to reduce it, any tips on ways to reduce size would be appreciated.

Use mdx squisher or ask the uploader to do something about the filesize.

 

[MasterDragons]

It seems to me (I'm not much of a modeler) that the texture on the weapon is a tad bit more detailed then necessary. Fixing that would reduce the file size a bit, no?

Interesting model.

 

[Pvt.Toma]

Well, to me, the bones are unnecessarily detailed. After removing all of them(which then also include the animations) it dropped to a filesize of 70kb, which isn't that bad. So my guess would probably be custom animations+tone down the amount of bones.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Really cool, but the filesize's too big!

 

[UgoUgo]

How about using MDLVis to convert all the animations into linear type? Or do it manually one by one. This could save a lot of filesize.

Edit: So in case you want to see how much your model size would go down, heres the file. But im not sure whether all of the animations have changed into linear because I did it manually.

 

[InfernalTater]

Nice second model, but...

File size -- Huh? Not enough quality to be worth such file size.

Edit: File size is better, now.

Hand inside of weapon? Make hand bigger or handle smaller, so that the hand is outside of the weapon, holding it.

Random square sitting in front of the bludgeon? Might wanna remove that.

Backwards legs? This is a lizard, not a goat. Lizard legs bend normal.

Edit: Now that the biggest issue, the file size, has been fixed, I'm giving it a 4/5.

 

[rcshaggy]

Lizardmen are really awesome creatures and in Warhammer I do like them as well

 

[Wolf_Wing]

This is a lizard, not a goat

Lol i think UgoUgo need glasses

 

[-Grendel]

This is a lizard, not a goat.

its easily distinguishable as a lizardman because of its feet. i don't know what you found wrong about his feet. i think its alright.

 

[UgoUgo]

Lol i think UgoUgo need glasses

So I need glasses because I suggested the uploader to linearize the anims. Okay.

Fixed the problem with the filesize, but goat? Goats aren't the only ones with digitigrade (walks on toes) limbs. Animals with digitgrade limbs are dogs, cats, elephants, birds, even dinosaurs. Many lizardman depictions have semi-ditigrade legs..

 

[Ralle]

It looks very well!

 

[SlayabThoR]

I would like it in green skin but, other than that it's nice.
Keep up your lizard company!

Maybe you've never seen a lizard in real life. Google lizard. If you're going to give it backwards limbs and then use the "dinosaur" excuse, maybe you should have called it a Reptilian. But once you call it a "Lizardman" it will need to share characteristics with a lizard, and not some other random reptile.

The truth is that your base model was a satyr (goat-man) with backwards legs, and you don't feel like changing the animations.

If you simply admitted "It was satyr model and I don't want to change the animations" then I'd be perfectly fine with that, not gonna make you do something when you don't feel like putting the work into it; doing work that you don't want to could make you hate modeling. What I don't like is people who try to make up some B.S. to cover their tracks rather than admitting the truth.

Don't get me wrong, I still like this model.

Well, if you've seen lizardmen from warhammer, they all have "Backwards legs", but you do have a point I don't want to make them regular legs. I may try to make them a little more bulky, and the angles on the legs not as sharp, but other than that I'd prefer to let the leg thing drop. It's good to know you like it.
(Btw base model was Dranai, not satyr)

I'm going back and forth with skin color to create some diversity. I plan to keep the lizardman models continuing, kind of like what Mephistrial did with gnolls.

Really? Oh, well Draenei's legs bend backwards like a satyr's, too, and they stand a similar way, so that would explain my misinterpretation.

Yes, continue swapping back and forth between myrmidon and royal guard's textures to maintain diversity. Maybe you could blend some yellow with the royal guard's texture in material layers for another lizard.

 

[-Grendel]

you could try the snap dragon and couatl textures too. they all yield great results.

 

[grunt]

I love this one and give it a 5/5 !!

 

[Doom Wolf]

Currently I am working on a mounted lizardman. Hope it turns out well.

 

[Gojira2000]

You are awesome!!

 

[Mgeterno11]

Looks nice, well-done. The only thing i can mention is that try to make the textures to fit each other. Good luck. 5/5

Thanks so much remembers me to Argonians from TES. I'm working on a TES campaign using Warcraft 3 engine
