DonDustin: I do have to agree with the rest: the concept and the texture choice are excellent, but the animations really look awful cause of the proportions of the mesh.
So there are 2 possible ways to fix it: either change the proportions to the draenei model ones or change the animations set.

DonDustin: Changes have been made. Really nice model with a creative texture use.

 

[Dionesiist]

the animations [or the proportions, or both] are a bit silly. otherwise, it's a fine model.

 

[RakEnRoL]

Wow! Cool Model

 

[PoopBrainEK]

its hands look a little odd imo

 

[JesusHipster]

You failed this model. Nice texture using idea, but awfull animations and... look at his hands and weapon-_-

 

[-Grendel]

i seriously don't find anything wrong with the Draenei animation set and the weapon.

 

[AIagremm]

Amazing use of the Wendigo's texture! =D

Perhaps you could teach Ampharos a lesson at model making then? Clearly, only someone of your vast talents can show that failure how to make a good model.

 

[Dionesiist]

Well I think for the most part the draenei animations are just really static in the chest. And, taking into account your model's proportions, the walk, for example, is quite ridiculous, what with his short legs and abnormally long torso and arms.

 

[JollyD]

superb, epic!!! 5!!

And teach me some of your skills please.
Nah, im just kidding

On Topic: Awesome model and cool use of the wendigo texture.

 

[JokeMaster]

Too long hands as for me but nice anyway.

 

[Ceaps]

lol.
This is so very well made model.

 

[Misha]

well.. i agree that you stretched him out a bit too much, well, it looks more satyr-ish, sure, but it really looks odd when moving.. perhaps you should shorten his arms and hands, but leaving the weapon part to stick out. kinda would maybe give him more grip or so to actually grip that claw with a hand too.

other thing is that you do need to bulk him up to better suit akama anims

 

[judash137]

Finally this day has come for every one who just transfer animation.
I wonder what 'll you do if you try to make a model that cant fit to tranfer animation from any warcraft III unit?
BTw you still a creative one, and remind me of my youth.

Challenge accepted lol.

Animations are ok, but you failed while you were working with bones. Seriosly this model is worst of yours only becouse of animations.

 

[AIagremm]

Well okay, Im gonna watch this. Do not disappoint me.

 

[Warimathas]

This is epic! Now if I only I could figure out where to use it... good job though.

 

[Goldendemon]

Maaan your models are awesome

 

[Misha]

I still don't see you trying to explain how to fix that.. :/

 

[PROXY]

Why it comes that I see nothing wrong with the animations?

 

[JesusHipster]

I still don't see you trying to explain how to fix that.. :/

Try to make animations from sketch or just take once again drainai model and reconnect model to bones\change proportions. There are lots of ways to fix that ..

Maybe you are not a model maker or just a noob. Im too lasy to search so i dunno . Check out spell animation for example.

 

[mnib]

i love this satyr

..fair enough

lol.. like that'll have a positive effect. quit jerking around

Dude Ampharos222 is one of the best modelers on the Hive so

 

[Misha]

 

[D a w n]

guys, give constructive critism or just be quite please. You don't help Ampharos at all with your discussion. :/

 

[JollyD]

I dont think that his animation is not so good) it's very originalic

 

[-Grendel]

Pfff.. alright i'll fix the proportions. but please cut the crap of arguing here.

well get used to it. i fail at almost everything.

 

[Darklycan51]

awesome models though animations aren't the better. 3/5 4/5 if update

 

[Ras]

Wow ! Is very useful 5/5 and is very creative

 

[-Grendel]

*UPDATED*
new animations and proportions. i'm not changing the death anim. it's demon-ish enough.

 

[rcshaggy]

Why does the Satyr face remind of this for some reason?

 

[-Grendel]

because of.. the Sasquatch skin?
the icon looks like that though

 

[Misha]

anims and mesh are lookin' cool now =3

 

[-Grendel]

i'm glad

 

[eubz]

dude, take a look at its dissipate anim. I think its not dissipating. I Tested it on viewer and model editor.

 

[JesusHipster]

well now he looks less like a satyr, and more like a fat demon
new animations are better, but still i wish this thing between his legs get animated

 

[shamanyouranus]

Ampharos, while this is definitely a cool model, I've noticed you make a rookie mistake over and over again.
If you look here, you can see that parts of his weapons have backwards faces (the darker tinted parts).

Hidden

These faces are backwards. If the material is set to one-sided, these faces will be invisible when viewed from the front. Lighting is also rendered backwards on these faces (when the model is lit up, these faces will become darker, when the model is darkened, these faces will become brighter).
I don't know what modeling program you're using, but I used to have problems with this in milkshape. Using the mirror vertices option would result in backwards faces, but for some reason this problem went away on it's own and no longer happens. Something else that can cause this is when you scale faces by -1 to get a mirror version of it.
If you can't mirror vertices without getting backwards faces, that's fine, just make sure to flip those faces back so that they're lighted properly and face the right way. It would give your models a much smoother look and such. Take a look into it, k?

Hidden

PS- This problem is present on many of your models, not just this one.

 

[King Katanova]

looks Perfect for xavius, just without the orange hair

If I remember right, he uses MDLvis which contains a normals flipping option, so it should be fixable.

 

[Wazzz]

see... now this is what a satyr should look like
i've only seen a satyr done one other time that i would deem 'true to lore' and that was for different reasons, might have even just been a skin, cannot remember

 

[Kyrbi0]

Legit. Haven't downloaded, so my opinion is only based on the screenshot. Still, not enough Satyrs, and when there are, they're all the same face... This one is unique (Sasquatch).

Quit whining about the anims. Constructive criticism is just fine; but the Draenei bones/anims are notoriously messed up.

Good jorb, Homestram. Now do moar Jungle Trolls and you will win the Internet.

 

[Rufus]

I love satyrs!

 

[JollyD]

u yeah )) now I have 2 cool models) of satyr)nice nice

 

[RiotZ]

Icon looks like a Gorilla lol.

 

[-Grendel]

i might fix that someday. In the meantime, use it for this model.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

WOW! Strong satyr...

 

[RakEnRoL]

What the .. O.O
GREAT JOB.

 

[InfernalTater]

As always, very impressive, 5/5!
