Wow, I think it looks really good, yes you can keep the horns if you like it. But there are 2 major problems: the rib cage and the knee muscle. That muscle doesn't exist on horses :D they don't bulge out like us humans. If you look at their skeleton and compare it to humans that part where you had it stick out would be our wrist. And wrists don't have bulging muscles masses. Anyway I'm just going through my anatomy book to match it with yours, since I don't know their structure off the top of my head either > .>  Other stuff are just minor stuff you can check to see if you agree or not. Also I don't get your view, the legs doesn't look like they're resting on the same platform, or they're floating. Because I can't tell if you had the hip angled too high or if it's because of the viewing angle. Pointed ends for hair gives it more evilness, or else he'll have a beetles hair cut. You are going to add the tail and tentacles later right? If you don't add the tentacles I can understand, but he needs a tail, I don't quite dig the tentacles either.

Thanks for quick reply :). at first i thought , he s a creature so i would give it abit...wildlly with detail , but i think i have to follow some basic rules , then i worked again on mucle (follow ur recommendations) and i think it look better. I will keep checking , make sure he s look good. But i won waste time too much on those muscle (we can twist, change the detail little bit, rite ? :)) Don worry about the legs, it s just the angle of viewport in zbrush make you feel those legs aren't on same platform ofcoz im going to add the tail, and the tentacles, tentacles is my favorite part, it will look like dyed hairs of pooka, u know what i mean rite ? :D. the last pic is just a rough work to show how it will look like in low polys. namka attached the following image(s):

very nice work!
regarding .PNG, yes, just choose .PNG during saving, if the image contains alpha map, it will be saved automatically. (You don't have to choose 16,24 or 32 bit format like in .TGA, PNG is always 32 bit, I think)

Good stuff.
Will pooka (or pookae, pookas - whatever we use as a plural) always be that colour as standard?
I ask because I was planning on throwing in a quest involving a special one, which is an unusual colour.

hi, Ibrahim, u need to ask Tang, if he allow you to change the colors, hes the owner of this creature :).
for me, yes it's standard colors, i need to stick with the concept. If Tang agree, we can change color,
,shape what ever we want :).

Originally when I designed it the veins draws in energy from its surrounding/sources. But yeh you can change the color for its body for a quest if you want.

Namka,
Awesome work! They look great. Are they rigged, or just a mesh?

thx, Jeromy. It's just a mesh. Let me know if you want me to do some basic animations, otherwise the mesh had been calculated and it's quite easy for rigging (i think :)).
im going to do some concepts, hope can give some good ideas for the game.

If you can do the animating and/or rigging that would be great. If not I'll see if I can get someone else to do it.
Cheers!
Jeromy

It's hard to tell how good it is,
Make sure your horse is walking in place. Try rendering the walk cycle twice or three times. Then it should be easier to critique you.
