This is one of the aforementioned in-betweener projects I had in mind to throw out before the big Reworking Sub Models 4 video. Rest assured, that one is being worked on! If there's any other specific fantasy/sci-fi races you'd like to see me work on, lemme know below!
The ammount of variety you get by combining any of the nonhuman heads together is insane, Imagine what that will be like with face customizer AND 3 Models
Using a snake head in place of a lizard head is like the first trick I taught myself when I got into Hero Forge. The second character I ever made was a Lizardfolk and I hated the way the lizard head looked. Only issue I have with the snake head is you can't change its teeth.
Appreciate the mentions of layering the torso and head. The insectoid hands are also great if you want something more interesting without using gloves I'm absolutely using that tail posing tip too
I was contemplating just straight going for the insectoid hands yea, had that in the build for a while, but I eventually opted out of it cause I wanted the big old spike glove on the Saurus and I wanted consistency between the 2
Hahahah, yeah I regret to say that this build was actually going to include a Croxigor as the 3rd - but I ran out of time and if I kept it going this build would cut into time I needed to spend on the Reworking project. In another world there'd have been a 3rd model, maybe even a 4th if I was going to make a Slann, but alas :(
@@Derfholm I would’ve never thought of the eight arm trick! However I found the stacking technique didn’t work when importing characters. I wish you could lock and rig characters when they’re “done” you know?
I am going to start working out until I post a pic in the discord and Derf considers me to be "Ooga booga strong" Summer is the perfect time to work on that ooga booga body.
Hahah yeah, I've had a dragon video or two in mind, including both Dragonborn as well as an actual dragon or two, but not quite anywhere near finished with it yet
I do, yes! You should check out one of my more recent videos - "Creating a DnD Dwarf Ranger with Heroforge" (it's called something like that), where I create a specific custom beard for a dwarf.
Kinda curious if you'll do something like this for fishmen (especially considering the range of humanoid to fishlike aquatic races out there, nevermind specific variants like sharkmen or river fishmen, etc.). Cool lizards though and we definitely need a way to adjust neck length and width
I plan on it, actually! Already have two models of such a build done, but I'd probably want to do an aquatic build slightly bigger than this one, so it's coming a little down the line
@@Derfholm Good to hear, one of the characters in a story I'm writing is an old fishman (leaning more towards sharklike) but there's no real proper head for it so I had to work with Ridged Draconian and some horns
i wish you could change the neck model. i have a snake-humanoid that has a Cobra theme to it and i cant make a model for her because of how the models in heroforge are. her neck is supposed to be like the length of her forearm so its challenging haha
Wondering if you, Derf, ever mess around with the colours by changing all the shades of blue to the same shade of red or green? Its fun when making lizard people or kobolds because they just become another type of kobold. Or using it on blue leather to change teams clash royale style 😅
The models in the links themselves have the poses - and you can grab the Uncoloured versions and work from there if you aren't able to import them with Pro. Otherwise, I will also be dropping a video in the near future with a lot of my own posing APRs which will include these
Hi, new here so don't know where/how to find the answer- How does one submit a model for possible reworking in Discord? Can't do it from #rework-submissions.
That channel was indeed the right place to do it, but I'm sorry to say that the deadline for that submission has closed up - however, I will be opening it again in the hopefully not too far future!
Really wish they add more options and give us better neck options, sucks you have to use glitches and weird double bodies/horns to make the model look how you want it to look. truly sad!

So, you know the skaven? I think some rats would be fun.
Hello man-thing ! Make a ratkin skaven video yes-yes !
Nice vid, as always, keep up the good work m'lord, you're crushing it !
@@DragonDino2122 Hahah oh yes, you are very correct
perhaps some ratfolk, such as skaven, and catfolk that dont look terrible?
@@VaderViktor Rest assured ratfolk are 100% on the short list :D

Yeup, for sure, I honestly can't wait
Sounds exhausting...
That Kenku character on screen at 0:40 looks so cool!
The word you were looking for, Derf, is “Crocidilian”
Fire ass models! 👌
CROCODILICCCC
Lizardmen are my number one type of race I make in Hero Forge so seeing how you do it will let me make even better looking lizardmen
Gecko go brrrrrr
Man..
Hero forge is so good for creating and visualize your characters
I just wish they had a separate Face redactor

@@Derfholm yeah that's fair. Absolutly worth it too, that arm looks sick
That tail trick is very clever!
These are fantastic model. As always, thanks for sharing your creativity.
I am dying to see a Kobold creation from you! And these figures are stellar!
I'll add it to the list!
These were both incredible. Now we just need some mad lad more talented than I to build a croxigor.
Hahahah, yeah I regret to say that this build was actually going to include a Croxigor as the 3rd - but I ran out of time and if I kept it going this build would cut into time I needed to spend on the Reworking project.

You are a master of your craft!
You honour me

absolutely killer, thank you. i'd love to see more hyperspecific videos like this, as well as more species-focused videos
You are a legend for this hobby!
I am going to start working out until I post a pic in the discord and Derf considers me to be "Ooga booga strong"
Summer is the perfect time to work on that ooga booga body.
Great video. Maybe some time in the future we could get a "How to create dragons", or something along those lines
Hahah yeah, I've had a dragon video or two in mind, including both Dragonborn as well as an actual dragon or two, but not quite anywhere near finished with it yet
It gives me some ideas. Thank you very much for this gorgeous tuto
Utterly briliant.
Thank you :D
And if you remove the tails on the crocodilian, you get a badass looking green dragonborn
And, hey, great, great stuff here and on Discord! 🙂
Finally! Thank you for this tutorial! I was so stuck on making lizardfolk that I almost gave up on them! B)
Love to hear it, good luck on your future attempts :D
This. The video I've always wanted
Finally! Been waiting a while for this one. Btw got any good custom beards (specifically dwarf beards?)
I do, yes! You should check out one of my more recent videos - "Creating a DnD Dwarf Ranger with Heroforge" (it's called something like that), where I create a specific custom beard for a dwarf.
I LOVE LIZOR

Could you consider making a video on how to make thri kreen? great video as always
Absolutely, it's on the list!
How are you getting the decals around the eyes? I'm a Kickstarter member and they are not even on my menu for Lizard or snake heads.
It is a currently in-beta Feature called Decal Kitbashing which is limited to Pro users. Unsure how accessible it is for Kickstarter members
@@Derfholm I guess they are not allowing us to use it. I had it for a while. Weird it just disappeared.
took me like the third time watching this to realise you used the spiked mohawk for the Saurus
hahahah yea
I’m trying to build a harengon but I want a more fluffy bunny! Do you do commissions??
i wish you could change the neck model. i have a snake-humanoid that has a Cobra theme to it and i cant make a model for her because of how the models in heroforge are. her neck is supposed to be like the length of her forearm so its challenging haha

Is there a way I can get a link to those poses you used in the video Derf?

@@Derfholm Ooh!, That'll be cool. Thank you for the tip Derf.
Song name?
Can you do plasmoids?
whats the name of the first song

smash
Only seen the first model rn, but smash.
