It looks old :(
Give it some teeth (or use less smoothing), make the body less round and add some real joints on legs.

I agree. Looks kind of frail and bendy. Add in some teeth, a sharper jaw, and put some spikes on its joints. If the joints have spikes, it will make it more menacing and it it's legs won't look like play-doh. Besides that, excellent work, +1

It's also pretty good. Keep improving it!

I think it needs more sharp, arachnid-style claws. And the bendings of the legs should be improved.

Anyway, pretty good job.

The legs need to be larger and closer to the body and the body needs to be raised. like this:  :tyrant:

nice work i really like that head! prolly the jaw must be thinner to fit into the mouth when closed (well in the case if they ever close it, what i doubt)
sharpen those curves, so it will be less chocolated :-)
i dont know how zbrush works, but maybe its more easy if you make different parts like jaw, legs, etc separated and then mixing it together.
keep it evolving!

What do you guys think of the claw elbows? I'm thinking of using the same technique for the leg joints, but I'm not sure.

Starting to get there, but the legs need a lot more detail.

May someone put captures of an untextured original tyrant to compare?

It's good! To criticize, i have only to say that it is pretty bulgy for a terrible tyrant. The legs should be sharper and more clean cut. otherwise gj!

My only problem is that the torso looks too human like...

Apart from that it looks awesome.

Wow, texturing does a lot. Can't wait to see your final textured tyrant, must be great for wallpapers and things like that. Anyway, I think that the legs should be more like the claws ^^

I'm blocking out the forms before I add detail. My workflow is FORMS >> RETOPOLOGY >> DETAIL/COLOR >> EXPORT DETAIL TO TEXTURE

So... What is this? http://err-overflow.deviantart.com/art/Big-Mofo-WIP-3-2605860

BTW nice update. I liked the spike on the elbow, could you add it? And the arms looking a bit more down? The posing in the original model was just perfect ;)

I though this spike to be more like an extension of the forearm, like the elbow joint was moved a bit foward, leaving a spike aligned with the forearm. That would look cooler to me :D

Anyway, I think this change has improved the model. Keep on this way ^^

Keep in mind detail adds polys? ...Or how ever the Q3 engine renders things.
Tremulous already pushes the bounderies of Q3 as is. I prefered the beefier looking model at the top. Might just need abit of muscle definition and a skin. Could look great, keep it up.
