Feedback on low poly elephant layout

Hey everyone!

This was my first time building animals in blender and I wan’t to see what parts of the animal I could improve on. usually there would be a lot of bumps in the body since I’m pretty messy with extruding faces,edges etc. Any thoughts on the elephant so far?

For your first time building an animal in blender you did really good. I dont think my first attempt would be this good.

From an aesthetic point of view, it doesn’t look bad at all. Especially considering it is your first time creating something of this nature, you did really well.

One big thing I thought you were missing was the ears, as that is a major part of all elephants.

The trunk also does not seem consistent in terms of width with the rest of the body, I recommend widening it.

Here is an example of what it would look like if it was created by a professional in the same style. (I didn’t create it, I just thought you could use it as a reference.)

Best of luck on what you’re going for, with enough practice I’m sure you can make it perfect!

It looks cool for a first time animal maker! You got the view of it and recognizable. I love the concept behind it and that you kept it very simple.
I would say you could add extra stuff to fully notice your animal blender a bit better.

Sugesstions:

  1. Add some eyes.
  2. Smooth out the back.

You could possible change the animal’s trunk of curving it a bit to show it’s shape.
Overall good for a first time maker!
Good luck! :smile::+1::slightly_smiling_face:

Your “Low Poly Elephant” looks very amazing, i like how you added the shape, trunk, design, to the elephant as well the details. That’s implemented to your elephant is really decent! However there is a couple of things. I’ll add to your low poly, elephant so it could look. More detailed and improved a lot more overall. You have done a decent job on your, low poly design and i think it looks really amazing! Anyways i would try making the trunk a little, more curved and wide.

Low Poly Elephant
Know i think your low poly elephant is very well done, i like all details that’s implemented to the elephant. However there seems to be no other body parts! Connected onto your elephant, i would recommend you add some eyes, tusks, ears, tail hair, ect. Those are mostly on real life animals as well (Low Poly Elephants) so consider adding some of those details. Onto your elephant and the body parts i’ll try implementing, some hair onto to the tail part so it could! Look more detailed and improved as that’s. Most needed on elephants body however i would, suggest you add some black hair implemented, in the back of the elephant and try making! The tail a little thin and straight so it could look more detailed. As by looking at yours it seems to be a little big i would recommend you, make it a bit thin and a little small! So it could look like the ones in real life i know it’s still being worked on overall i. Think it looks good and the legs you added to your elephant i would try adding, some (Five Toes) implemented into the! Flesh of the foot and most elephants have toe nails added to the foot. Part i see you added the legs all you have to, do is implement some toes and toe, Nails however i would! Mostly work on those six things! That needs to be added to your elephant overall, it looks really good so far!!

Tusks/Toes
And as i said above i would recommend you add some tusks, toes, toe nails, ears, ect. Just so it could look a lot more better and then! If you plan on adding more details to your elephant i would recommend you implement. Some skin to your (Low Poly elephant) as that’s mostly on elephants but it’s very though, and thick on the head, ears, body, legs, mouth, and others try doing something like that as well depending! On what kind of elephant your making most of them in. Africa they have a kind of brown or reddish, skin because there wallowing in, colour mud. However it will look best if you just adding! Some skin onto your elephant i know that. Will look a lot more better if you did that, overall it’s still in progress so! I believe you know that.

Details
Alright so i really like all of the details that’s implemented to your “Low Poly Elephant” and i think it looks really good and, as i said above try adding some ears, white tusks, skin, eyes, tail hair, toes, to your elephant so it could look more detailed as, well you could add some vegetation only If you plan, on adding some!. Of those details those are! Some i would recommend you add. Here is a couple, of things i’ll add so your elephant so it could! Look more better and improved. Overall you’ve done a great, job on your low poly elephant looks really impressive!!
