Hello everyone, this challenge seems fun, so here i am ! :)

Here is a quick sketch, it's a first thought, the final model might be different.
The beast is going to be a sort of "alien camel" whose duty is to save people from dying of thirst in the desert.

By the way, have you ever done a camel ride ? If you haven't you must try it, it's the most relaxing stuff on earth, almost better than sex !! When i did i even wanted to exchange my girlfriend for a camel and go and move with the nomads, sadly she didn't agree.... (selfish girl i'm telling you !! ;) )

It's your own fault really.
You should have talked it over (read: closed a deal :deal: ) with the nomads FIRST. Then go back and explain things to the girlfriend. :p
It would have gone much better that way.

He he, I like you style. The cartoon style. But you say it will looks like a camel, but to me it looks like a goat ( I hope I spell it good). But I really like your style. Keep on going.

Thanks for the comments ! :)

OZ : Are u on drugs ? anyway thanks :)

Dmonk : Thanks, but i still don't exactly know for the body.

Sherban : Yes next time i go to tunisia or maroco, believe me i'll have a plan !! ("please put a mini skirt on darling, we're going for a camel ride" ... ) ;-)

Mr nice guy : You're right, i just looked at a camel picture and my beast looks nothing like it at all, but i wanted to capture the same "dumb" look of it. (just look at a camel's face, it's so relaxing .....)

Stereo : Thanks, the fun above all. :)

Erillaz : I don't know what kooky means but it sounds good. :p

TheSEL : I plan to post more updates this week-end, it's just that sometimes i have a very annoying stuff to do : work ! :)


An update, added a few details on the face, now i'll move to the body.

Now we know why this beast can pull very heavy weights : because of his butt muscles !! :) Dumb beast but strong beast !

hey, great idea for a BoB!
I however think you should round of some corners (especially on the toes/fingers/ears) they look a bit "cubic" right now. maybe you've already thought about those things, or maybe you wan't it that way, just wanted you to hear my opinion :)

great work so far though, and funny concept! :thumbsup:

That model comes out well! It's funny, but almost creepy. It resembles a sort of Disneyed-up H.P. Lovecraft creature! :hmm:

That description either made perfect sense, or I'm really tired!:surprised

Fellah, yes it does look a bit "cubic" cause i'm experimenting with the "quad output" meshsmooth technique, i'll probably lower it down. :)

Erillaz, yes i guess i'd think it's a creepy beast in real life, right now i'm amusing myself a lot building it up ! :-)

Here comes this week's update, i'm definitly super slow, i blame it on the sun, i just had to go to the beach here in paris (well ok they bring 3 palm trees and a few long chairs and they call it a beach, poor us.... ahhh if only they could bring a few camels instead ! ;) ) !

yo JT, this is looking really great. Everythin on it is friggin fantastic, except for one thing ;). I think the nostrils on the nose look way too simular to the ears. I'd recomend changing them to look more unique from the ears. Other than that I love it. This is really great.

Now comes the burden ! (it's about time..)
You're right zro-1, maybe the nostrils are too similar to the ears, i have to think about that one. :)
