Really nice sketch there STIPEN. I like your concept and good idea including your PA dude.

[hypercube]

Sweet! Totally fits with your PA guy..should be awesome. I like the stance in the sketch too, it's like you can already see the walk cycle..

[fellah]

[Bezerker75]

Really nice concept...love the colors...the only thing that I don't quite get is his legs...they seem to have 2 different kind of feet...I wasn't sure if one was a back leg and one was a front...other than that looking great...:thumbsup:

[stipen]

So I've started the modelling !! That was a poly cube 3 hours ago!!
It looks more like a chicken than a "BEAST " by now !!:wip: :wip:

i'll keep updating

ps: And yeah, me too "I can't wait to see it animated!!! ":)

[dmonk]

looks like its gonna turn out great. can't wait to see some more progress.

[stipen]

hey dmonk thank you..... I remember you asked once if I was gonna do something with my PA_guy.... :)
Here is your answer!!

[dmonk]

Good stuff
can't wait.:bounce:

[so_hi]

I noticed that in your screen grab that your lines are all funny. I was having display problems very similar to that. I don't know if you are? ( it may be just the jpg conpression or something) but, if you are there is a fix at this link.

http://www.highend3d.com/xsi/tools/

look at the entry called

OpenGL 1.3 version fix v1.1

It saved my life.

Oh and nice work. I love the awning, the pilot cap and the high and mighty stance, on your critter.

[Bezerker75]

ok now I can see how the feet and legs are...looking great and only 3 hours..man you'll be done in like8 or nine hours if you keep that pace..lol...looking great!:thumbsup:

[eirenicon]

Wow! You've already got the feel of the original concept in your rough model! Keep going, I'm keeping 2/250th of my eyes on this one! :p

[Barracuda]

hey! promising start :thumbsup:

I see you have problems with wireframe display. I think that's because you use 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 :)
go here http://www.highend3d.com/xsi/tools/ read the "NOTICE" and download "OpenGL 1.3 version fix v1.1" put it in the same dir as xsi.exe

[ZrO-1]

nice stuff so far with the low-poly version. I might have missed this but are you texturing it as well?

Anyway I like this piece and I think its really cool that you're including your PA dude. This one should be a really great one.

[pearson]

Wow! Nice concept and Great progress! That is super cool that you can use this with your past challenge work! :thumbsup: :applause:

[hypercube]

"that doesn't look very scary..more like a..6 foot turkey"

Looking great :thumbsup: It's really so far 'there' already just with the rough form..at this rate you should be able to have a whole mess o' stuff on it :)

[jjburton]

I really love your style. Can't wait to see more progress on this model:)

[stipen]

THANK YOU !!!
so_hi and Barracuda I didn't notice that display probleme...Thank you !!!

Bezerker75 : I don't have 3 hours free every days !!:) I wish I have!!!

So here a little Update on modelling and new stuff I've added....This is still a low-Poly with no detail and basic rendering !!

[Equinoxx]

[Adrien]

It's a lizard...
No, it's SuperChickzard!

:thumbsup:
:)

your beast look great ...

[Bruzundanga]

Hello there, stipen.. sorry for asking this so lately (you already begun modeling your beast), but I was wondering about your sketch... I had seen lots of drwanings paited that way. I really aprecciate to know what technic you used. Did you painted on photoshop? which brush settings did you use? Is that a tutorial about that?

Thanks in advance

Sorry about my bad english

[rizob]

yo man this is great your model has this simple stylistic qualtiy,great look keep it up i want to see the animation of your guy riding himm if you do it

[stipen]

I've updated My "SuperchickZard " :)
just Add some details on his face !

fellah : No only one...Still have a lot to do :wip:
Bruzundanga : yeah this is photoshop....Classic aero Brush for the colors and dodge/burn tool for the shades and details !!
rizob : thanks.....I really like your entry too :thumbsup:
Adrien : what about "licken" :)

[Danko]

:applause: hehehe! Great beast! love the style and the model is really fair with the 2D concept. Nice tandem with your PA character! They'll fit perfectly together :) Go on! :thumbsup:

[stipen]

size check !!:wip:

[stipen]

size check !

[dmonk]

hell yeah!


They fit together perfectly.

Great work.:thumbsup: :applause: :drool:

[Virtuoso]

First of all..................I love the whole look, it's fantastic.The feel and ambiance are top notch. Really a top job.:applause:

But I was wondering..............are we allowed to add charcaters from previous works with these new Beasts of burden???

Anyways...................it looks totally clean, fun, and top rate.:thumbsup: :)

[AJ]

You talented, talented bastard! :D

From fantastic concept (in both image and design) - to bottom smackingly excellent model...

Simply marvellous.

[stipen]

thanks a lot guys!!:bounce: :bounce:

Virtuoso : I don't know myself clearly about the previous work issue...But IT

[stipen]

thanks a lot guys!!:bounce: :bounce:

Virtuoso : I don't know myself clearly about the previous work issue...But It's just the concept...i design this BOB to be my PA_Guy 's BoB ! I don't know if I can includ this guys in the final scene...this is not important to me cause my focus is only on the modeling of the beast....i'll add it after the challenge any way so....

IF ONE OF THE MODS STOP BY AND TELL ME ABOUT THIS SITUATION !!!!!

[Totitch]

Yeah Stipouch!!! :applause:

Good details in the last pict!

but i think your character in the previouse pict is too much big compare to the best! A mon avis quand tu va le grimper dessus, la bestiole va avoir l'air minuscule...
Donc scale le de 22.569871% précisement and enjoy! :thumbsup:


Good work Stipen! It's time to Stop Cooking too (Like Nano and me!) :D

[Adrien]

I'm agree with Totich..
the beaste seems to be smaller than a donkey - as high as a shetland's poney, in fact. For a horse-like steed, the saddle must be higher than the shoulder.

at this scale, i can't imagine your character seat on the back of this beast - maybe, with a shoe-horn, you can wedge it under the hood :)

[stipen]

Thanks guys ...You're right about the size !!!

[DKScully]

Thanks man!

[stipen]

[fellah]

animation!!! :) but you have forgot the "foot things"! work, work, work :wip:

[stipen]

Hey fellah....Don't worry this is not meaning "end of modelling"....this is just a test !!!


here is a rough test: a walk loop !!

[Virtuoso]

Stipen....................I love your creativity,originality and very beautiful style. Bravo, you have a real nice style and flare to your work, I have a real good feeling when viewing it.:beer:

And your walk cycle is smooth and fun as can be as well, very nice job. When I saw your creation walk I thought eventually someday you can have it sing............Zippity do da zippity yah.................over and over again, he looks very happy...................Great job, top notch, one of the best thus far in a very good field of work, a real contender.


:thumbsup: :)

[Fetus23]

As usual...a very nice simple design that will work very well for animating. Love the concept sketch too. I'd say keep going with the detail but its working really well as is.

happy trails,
fetus

[Rex]

how can I miss it!!!!I saw your animation!HA~HA~it's very funny!the first impression of you creature shape is fast and agile(beacuse the leg is pretty strong and the body is small).When I saw your animation is quite different.Funny .strong personality.and cumbersome walk cycle you did.And I have two thought about the heels and neck move,the heels are over high to me and look a little strong.About the neck maybe can shake up and down with the body movment.

Just a thought!Anyway ,you still impress me !great style!



Check out my Beast of Burden (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12984&pagenumber=2)

[dvornik]

Great design. Really cool. A small comment about the animation - his feet look like they flatten when they bend. There should be a joint sticking out forward, kind of. Nice carefree walk, though. Fits the character.

[QuantumPixel]

wow is all I can say, man I can see how simplification is the key from start to end you build with such a high end of realistic simplification that makes it a realization of grate imagination and streangth in your work.

thanks for setting my mind in a new and more pricise path. I have rilly been woken up by your steps and teckneeks.

[stipen]

hey thank you very much guys !!! :) :)
Virtuoso, Fetus23 , boygonemad: I really appreciate !

dvornik,Rex : Your crits are welcome and relevant !!

I've made some slight changes...maybe you won't see it.
I'm not totally satisfied but I'll keep working on it if I have the time...i still have to finish the model so .....:wip: :wip:

[Danko]

That's funny! :applause:
Maybe he could wave the head a bit as you've done with the tail, a bit rigid now compared to the rest of the body. But just a detail, great expression anyway. :thumbsup:

[KnightWhitie]

Love it man, nice work.

[dingo]

stipen I love your work! Great work!

I have a critique in regards your walk cycle.

If you keep the foot on the ground longer, it will give more of a sense of pushing off, thus more weight.

Currently the foot is releasing from the ground too quickly, thus giving the appearance as though the beast is "wiping" his feet. Kinda like wiping feet on a door mat or like a bull scrapes the ground with his front hooves.

leave the feet on the ground slightly longer and increase the bend. or I should say, increase the bend, let the foot stay on the ground a little longer, through the push off/ straightening. That should give a little more believeability. Also you could increase the timing of the release/straightening to denote more weight being caried.

again great great work.

[Biohazard]

Yeah, great work ! (joli taf' quoi)
L'anim' est rigolote pareil.

I'd have a little crit : The beast's feet need a back toe to stabilize / grip... Actually, the only front toes just seem to let it run, but not stand...

Anyway... :)

[beej]

dood! you got style up the wizzang. this is killer. let me know when you release the action figures.

[zeb]

:bounce:

Yeahhh your animation style is great :)

maybe start for a road movie ;)
