josh_cat_eyes Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 One thing about your bison that limits the motion is the legs. They are all pointing in the same direction. Most animals when running look like either of these two pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansdooma Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Everything is great, but those hind legs need some serious work. As someone said before, it looks like they were hacked off halfway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAO Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 But bison don't really run, nor can they go that fast, hardly as fast or as similar to a cheetah. So their leg movement would be different. I know mine is not perfect and I am trying to work out the kinks. Thanks for the feedback people.

Thanks for the feedback people.Watch the "Buffalo Hunt" scene in Dances With Wolves and then say they don't really run. In fact, watching that could help you in the areas you may be having trouble with your logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAO Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 you mean something like this?BaronsAll I know is that they are going with Thunder, so you can throw Barons out of the window.

AAO Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks for notifying me. People should really ask before they go using my stuff...ridiculous. Can't post a thing on the internet. Sure it looks cool when its in NBA Live, but he really shouldve asked. And reason being I can't let you use that; im awaiting response from Bunch Creative who is awaiting response from OKC.

slapshot Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 What connection does Bunch Creative have with the OKC franchise? Are they working together, or is this just a flashy way of submitting an unsolicited design? Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Far as I know, it is not unsolicited. Currently, they're working on a flash proposal with different logos to OKC. We'll see. Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminWeasel Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Your latest edit is looking much better. I love the concept you are working on here for "Thunder."If I may, I think there is still something that will make it look better. Bison heads are very massive with the manes. Perhaps you could solve the lowering of the horns issue by making the head a bit bigger. Also, if you look back at the photo of the bison leaping the tennis net, its head is quite low compared to the body and especially the hump. Perhaps, along with enlarging the head slightly, you could also lower and rotate it a touch to give it more of a charging feel. If bison were to butt heads during the rut in the position you have it in, they'd meet nose to nose rather than head/horn to head/horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansdooma Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The hind legs still have the same problems. They need to be longer and, in my opinion, bend backwards more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEye Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 This still has a long way to go to look like a bison... and you seem hell bent on not changing the things people are suggesting. Those legs look more like table legs than an animal's and the head / shoulder area as well as the overall length of the bison is wrong... If you are looking at reference photos you need to look longer and harder and be willing to scrap the start you have here and begin anew with more accuarate body proprtions and representations.Also, why have the super dark brown dust cloud on the secondary and not on the primary and partial... it looks much better dark.Buffalos are compact, brawny fellows... yours is much too long in body length and he doesn't feel hairy enough around the face, head and shoulders, that needs emphasis.

hettinger_rl Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I kept thinking that it seems like there are bison that look like this. And I remembered where I saw them. It wasn't that there ARE bison like this, but WERE bison like this. Bison Priscus roamed through Alaska during the last ice age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAO Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Believe I've worked the legs to its highest potential. I am also introducing a new secondary here. EDIT: See Page 4 or Page 1 for edit.
