Beast of Burden - Character - Pit

[toce]

A pokemon?

;)

[ZrO-1]

Your concept sounds interesting. I look foreward to the sketch.

[iC4]

beautifull eye, but you aren't allowed to use it in the finished picture :hmm:

[OrestesMantra]

The eyes are amazing. iC4-: What are you talking about?You can texture your BOB, it just wont be judged.

[pit]

Small update:)

[pit]

the wire

[pit]

...and another one - just for the fun of it!

let me know what you think!

... and - ehrr - yeah - it did look like a Pokémon!!! Thanks! That was helpful!

[pit]

a sketch...

[ZrO-1]

LOL I like the nipple piercings. good touch.

Great looking sketch. This is going to be a good one.

[OrestesMantra]

Ouch!Thats gotta hurt;)

[pit]

:) Well - treat ´em bad and they´ll move!!;)

[Koma]

one thing to say ,wonderfull ,finally two or three ,nice start ,the head remind me a pokemon but pokemon remind me animal so who care .... and the skecth is really cool...cant wait to see him finish

[pit]

WOAHHH!!
This challenge is coming along fast - I´m overwhelmed by the amount of threads and the quality of the work:thumbsup:
This sure is fun!!!

[pit]

Ronaldos (Brazilian soccer player) teddy!

[erilaz]

I like the bear touch. Very Jhonen Vasquez in mood! (If anybody reads his work here)

[hypercube]

Damn..that is crazy, freaky..dig it. The face made me think of dark crystal, but then the stuff on the back made me think of labyrinth, with those people stuck to all their stuff. It would be cool if it was more a conglomeration of stuff like that, or a few more things tied to the outside of the bundle. Really want to see where this goes. :thumbsup:

P.S. erilaz - JV rules..Zim was genius, JTHM rocked, loved Squee and I Feel Sick too. Hope he keeps rolling.

[pit]

thanks for the comments
@ Erilas: Will be my next reading - thanks for the tip.
@ Hypercube: There´s going to be loads of stuff on top - the sketch didn´t show;)

[pit]

Small update - crits and comments please!!

[OZ]

THERE IS A MASTER HERE!!! ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTER I EVER SEEN!!!!! AMAZING......AMAZING.......AMZXING.....azarmagin....mmamamiagzin.......sMmswding.....plszx........:surprised

[derwolpertinger]

hi,
nice modelling! :)
i'd make the feet more detailed.
also kurz auf deutsch: ich meine dass du die stelle an der die füsse in die beine übergehen etwas verschmälern solltest, also an den knöcheln meine ich. es sieht im moment etwas arg klumpig aus. eine andere möglichkeit wäre es an dieser stelle ein paar mehr details einzufügen.
that's it!:D

[pit]

@ OZ: :blush: thanx - this means a lot - coming from you - a true master!
@ derwolptinger: ur right - the feet and legs are far from done!!! I sort of concentrate on the overall pic right now and will go into detail later - thanks for commenting:)

[prayas]

woohoo! Love that sh**. What makes a little question is that thing on his side. F*** don't know that word? *rettungsring*?? Funny. Keep up that good concept.

[erilaz]

Let's see how much stuff you can fit on there Pit! That is amazing.

[pit]

A tiny refresh...
will have no time to spend with the beast for a couple of days:D
-to much work... damn!!!

[pit]

a very quick paint test!

[pit]

Done some finetuneing and a couple of bumps - haven´t really got time to work on this piece the way i would like to:D

[pit]

a closer look

[pit]

and closer

[pit]

The bait - very WIP!

[pit]

PS: As always crits and comments are more than welcome. I would welcome some suggestions on what to put on the back of the beast. Thanxx!

[erilaz]

How about putting a ballon animal on there? Always a good thing to have. Oh and a gravy boat. :D

I like the fish. To add to the excessive burden thing, why not have bait for the bait as well? Like a smaller fish!

[pit]

@ erilaz: a baloon animal is a really sweet idea - i´ll dedicate it to you!:) Thanks for posting - crits and comments are rare! :annoyed:

[derwolpertinger]

hey pit! sieht doch super aus! der fisch is auch echt cool! :thumbsup: ich versteh deine frage was er denn auf dem rücken tragen soll aber nicht , sonst würd ich dir vielleicht auch was vorschlagen-denn der trägt doch schon was oder?

[Bezerker75]

does this creature walk or swim? or both?...I think if he swims it could be cool to have some type of sails... that can be folde up for when he walks...just a suggestion...

[pit]

@ derwolpertinger: ja - aber nicht genug! Ich will den ärmsten richtig zupacken mit zeug - (soll ein amphipisches (mein deutsch wird auch nicht besser!) lasttier werden, deshalb auch rettungsring anker und boje, und ich will u.a noch andere maritime sachen auf das riesige verhüllte etwas packen) - aber es fehlt mir im moment ein paar lustige ideen - kann gerne sehr schwer sein! Habe schon überlegt ob der arme kerl die Titanic schleppen soll!

cu

[derwolpertinger]

aso habs verstanden-ich überleg mir mal was und meld mich heut abend dann nochmal. :)

[pit]

@ Bezerker 75: Both! That´s a nice idea with the sails - thank you very much!

[ChrRambow]

Great character! can't wait to see the next version.

[pit]

Thanks KoRn_ART! Saw some of your works at c4d-treff (?) some time ago - very nice modeling you got going!

[Icecube]

Hey man your work is impressive, i like it a lot, i love the details and the ideas is great:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:




:shame: No critcs!

Really amazing work! :thumbsup:
And thnx for your posts!

[pit]

update time - the beast will be dragging a boat -> the boat of a travelling chinese salesman. Stay tuned....

[pit]

added some more stuff on the beast.
well - not much i guess - just wanted to show that i´m alive and kicking!

[pit]

introducing: the owner of the beast

[pit]

- i´m off to bed ...

[erilaz]

Everytime I see your entry, it gets crazier and crazier! I love it! You're always adding cool new things that keeps me guessing.

And the salesperson is very well modelled too! I'd buy encyclopaedias from him anyday!
(Do salespeople still sell encyclopaedias? Or is that all on the internet now? :D )

[pit]

Thanks. :blush: Don´t worry i´ll give him a laptop!

[derwolpertinger]

hehehe, der sieht super cool aus pit!!:thumbsup:
das einzige was mich im moment noch stört sind die füsse-ich find die sehn etwas seltsam aus-vielleicht würden ja auch einfach nur 3 oder vier dickere zehen reichen-ich finde die passen im moment noch nicht so zum rest des körpers. aber der is ja noch net fertig-da bin ich wirklich gespannt wie das nächste update aussieht. :D

[pit]

@ derwolpertinger: Du hast recht!! - die zehen sind echt ein bisschen dünn ausgefallen - danke für dein auge!:)

[derwolpertinger]

no poblemo-aber jetzt muss ich erst mal n kaffee trinken gehn'! :D

[pit]

boat update.

[derwolpertinger]

he sieht cool aus. die plane ist auch klasse geworden. nur im gesamt eindruck ist es mir noch viiiel zu gleichmässig. z.B. der mast, bieg den mal n bisschen und mach ein paar macken rein. und die reifen würd ich auch n bischen biegen-also nicht alle-nur manche-und unterschiedlich skalieren vielleicht. das gleich gilt auch für die planke die auf dem boot liegt. die grundform des bootes kann auch ein paar macken vertragen. aber wie gesagt-sieht wirklich gut aus-wenn du halt noch einige details änderst wirds spitz aussehen. :thumbsup:
sorry dass ich soviel zu kritisieren hab-fühl mich richtig mies jetzt.:blush:
na denn bin ich mal auf das nächste update gespannt :wavey:

[pit]

@ derwolpertinger:
"sorry dass ich soviel zu kritisieren hab-fühl mich richtig mies jetzt."

Muss du nicht!!! Ich finde es genau richtig - ich würde mir sogar wünschen das mehr das selbe tun würden - und ja: hab alles ziemlich schnell zusammen gebastelt und bin noch gar nicht zu den feinheiten gekommen. Danke dir!!

[ZrO-1]

Pit this piece is coming along fantastically. I can't comment on your workmanship because the modeling looks fantastic. Your owner/salesman reminds me of the Monkey king from the old chinese fable about how buddhisim was brought to China.

Awseome work so far pit. :thumbsup: :love: :applause:

[pit]

@ZrO-1: Thank you!!! wow! :blush:
He might be better as Monkey King - hmmmm- or he should bring Pigsy along as the cook! And then "Journey to the West".

[Jay-Mo]

This is really great. love the nip rings.

[pit]

A couple of new props - not much -> no time!!!:D :D :D

[pit]

YAF - yet another fish...

[pit]

YAF 2

[pit]

... more props

[pit]

small progress on the boat

[erilaz]

Whehey! Pit! Haven't seen you work on this for a few days. Been busy? The boat is coming along great.

I thought that desk at the back was a piano for a moment!

[derwolpertinger]

great progress and improvements pit!! no crits this time! :D

[pit]

thanks guys - been busy with some "real life" work- well, still am - so i don´t know if i find time to complete the beast :D A piano! - I might just steal that idea:) ;)

[swag]

Hi, thats great man i love the legs of the beast and the details of ure modeling i hope u can finished this :thumbsup: (immer mehr germans hier am Start )

[pit]

yo Swag - thanks! (I´m not really german - i´m from Denmark - just happen to live in Berlin!)

[Fetus23]

hello pit, that little boat is looking mighty nice! can't wait too see what you have in mind for a final shot....will there be water?

[neilyb]

Why is everyone here so darn talented? Have to go find an easier challenge site.......:- (
Cool model idea, I love those oversized feet! Any chance of a wire frame, low poly?

Geile model!!!!!!! Very sexY!

[pit]

thanks for the kind words:)
@ Fetus23: sorry - no water in this piece.
@neilyb: will post a wire later -> tomorrow

[ZrO-1]

All of the props look awesome pit. I really love the fish. it looks like a cross between a carp and a cylocanth(sp?) really awesome stuff. :thumbsup:

[pit]

@ ZrO-1: Thanx!!!! ->:bounce:

The promised wireframe pics

[pit]

#2

[pit]

#3

[pit]

and some of the props...

[pit]

Ronaldos Teddy

[pit]

last one

[Drongo Stabbins]

Really like this Mr. Pit!
very strange!
excellent............

[pit]

I´m delighted that my work pleases you Mr. Stabbins:)

A quick update on the beast ....

[erilaz]

Tee hee hee! You gave him a top hat! That's great! :thumbsup:

[swag]

nice update - hmm i like the wire render (what soft u use?) the coffin look to perfect and too small make it gruesome

[pit]

Thanks guys - glad you like it:)

@ Swag: I use Maxon Cinema 4D. I will see what i can do about that coffin!! On the other hand: small people die to u know?.;) thx again

[Koma]

really cool ,one of my favorite ......wow funny bob dude:buttrock:

[zeb]

hehe what a funny beast here :)

just suggestion u could work with more details on the hat and the anchor (but i'm sure u are already working on it)

keep it up ... and good continuation

[pit]

@Gabe: WOW - Thank you!!! I appreciate it ... a lot!!
@Zeb: Thanks, i´m glad u like it - and yeah - the anchor looks weird i might just redo it.

[pit]

An "Alarmbird" - it will sit on top of the burden (on the barrel) - a (heavy) bell will be attached to the ribbon. Will update tomorrow- and I know the feet look like something outta Chicken Run - so don´t look at the feet!

[erilaz]

Feet? What feet? :rolleyes:

Great bird!:D

[derwolpertinger]

damn-where the hell do you find so much time to model all those things?? model looks cool so far. well but somehow the feet look......:D

[pit]

LOL both of you

:)

@ derwolpertinger: no sex no drugs no sports no booze no videogamez!

[Manicalavera15]

pit is like me:beer: lol

and i enterde the cgchallenge until one week lol
even if i love sex and co (yes !!! druuuggggZ lol:rolleyes: )

i m working about 20 hours per day on my BoB...snif !


great work pit !

crit on the bird : make more details on the beak... it will show feeling on the bird :thumbsup:

[pit]

@Manicalavera15: LOL - :) - will add overall details and some displacementmaps later - have to concentrate on the beast and the burden for a day or two. Thanks for the comments!:beer:

A quick update on the bird:

[pit]

sorry bout the bad image quality:hmm: Looks as bad as the first one:annoyed:

[pit]

Beast with Alarmbird...

[pit]

and in total ...so far

[OZ]

fANTASTIC BOB! THE TEDDY BEAR IS AMAZING!!! as the test of the model!I love the Alarmbird too!Great idea!:applause:

[Magarnigal]

Fantastic!

My only crit would be that the composition of the luggage on the turtleman's back is a bit boring. I would enlarge the barrel + bird and move them forward, to bring the mass of the luggage more in front of the turtleman's centre of gravity. Turtleman looks great, he really has a sense of carrying a massive load, but his burden doesn't quite match.

Great work tho!

Michael

[erilaz]

Brilliant Pit. Brill-i-ant. I mean that. Your work is great. :thumbsup:

Just keeps getting better. Those buckles, and the build up of stuff is going so well! :D

[erilaz]

Oh and Pit, just to add to the burden insanity, I really, really, really want you to add a kitchen sink.

It's only right, after all.:D

[pit]

Thank you all for comments:) It´s great encouragement for me!
I´m running out of time here - panic!!! - got a lot of other stuff to attend to at the moment:D so I really need some c+c here to speed things up a little. Damn - i wanna finish this!

[erilaz]

Okay! Crits for you, just because I'm nice! :p

I'm not sure the bump on the flag works. I think it would be fine without it. Or maybe lessen it.

Personally, I don't think chains that are circular really work. that's just me though. Maybe more of a chain-like shape on the links.

That's all. Really. The rest is perfect.

And where's my kitchen sink?!!!

[pit]

@erilaz: - i´m working on it - no sweat, but mind you that is an complex object - so you´ll have to be a little patient. ;) Ok? Thanks for c+c - u seem to be the only one looking at my BoB! - the bump on the flag will be replaced, but i guess i won´t find time to change the chains!!

ok - here´s a closeup on the BoB

[pit]

added more stuff on top ...

[erilaz]

Hey, no pressure on the sink! You take your time (well, in the little time we all have left!).:D

I don't care if I'm your only contributor at the moment! Your model rocks!:wavey:

[pit]

Thanks erilaz - You keep me going!!!!!

[swag]

wau - thats great - the bird is very nice - how u make the feather of the bird (cinema)

[pit]

Thanks swag - the feathers are made with Hair Department and Solid Spline. The trick is to delete the geometry that hair department produces-> but keep the splines -> and drop a solid spline tag on them with your preffered thickness-> now it´s a post thingie and will occur at rendertime! That´s all!

[Drongo Stabbins]

I still like this one!...
very bizarre Mr.Pit!...
great work....:thumbsup:

[OZ]

PIT! U ARE THE CRAZY GOD OF ODD DETAILS!!!:love: AbsolutE LOve!!!!:wavey:

[Koma]

detail are fabulous i love to take the time and watch all the detail on an image so with yours iam haapy ,nice one

and oh your modelling is excellent:bounce: :bounce:

[pit]

I thank all of you - it means a lot!!
I would have liked to model much more detail into this one but heck -> next time!! It´s been great fun though!
@erilaz: Sorry, no kitchen sink! :thumbsdow
OK - will try to finish some decent renders.......

[erilaz]

LOL! No probs Pit, it's your model, not minel!!!:D

And it looks great by the way! Can't wait for the final renders. Are you still putting in the salesperson?

[derwolpertinger]

he pit, der letzte render gefällt mir seeeehr gut!! echt spitze! ich liebe die tausend details die du da gemodelt hast. man merkt halt dass du auch sehr viel zeit da reingesteckt hast. also gibts dafür von mir ein paar :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[pit]

@ erilaz: no salesperson due to lack of time, but watch out for him, he might just occur in another forum at a later point -> will finish the model!

@derwolpertinger: Thanks mate!

I´m trying out different light setups and they all suck - major:annoyed:
These are the times where you really are told that you are a newbie!!!
Be prepared for some crap renders - i´m frustrated!

[pit]

... as far as i get with this one.

[pit]

last...

For a closer look on details you´d have to visit the previous pages. Thanx.

So:
Thank you all for crits and comments along the way....it´s been fun!

[derwolpertinger]

he pit schaut super aus-hab ich ja auch schon gesagt. :D nur mir fällt auf dass in den letzten 2 bilder fast gar keine schatten zu sehen sind. versuch die doch etwas zu verstärken, da das dem bild mehr tiefe verleihen würde. wenn du mit multipass gerendert hast kannste ja einfach ne tonwertkorrektur der schattenebene in PS machen.

[pit]

@ derwolpertinger:dank dir habe ich den fehler gefunden der mir den ganzen tag versaut hat - es hatte sich ein xtra licht in die szene geschlichen und deshalb die fehlenden schatten - Vielen dank noch mal:thumbsup: :beer:

Jetzt ist es natürlich zu spät für ordentliche Renderings:annoyed:

[ZrO-1]

Pit my man, you've done a truly awesome job on this piece. Your craftmanship on the modeling is great. I love all the little things you have going on in your scene. This is with out a doubt one of my favorites.
Great work bro! :applause: :thumbsup: :applause:

[pit]

@ZrO-1: Hey, thanks for the compliments !!! :)
I´m glad u like it (- although it`s far from finished !) Hope to see you on the next challenge - if you´re not to busy on your new job!!
cu

[Mandrake]

hey pit I like the wierd play of different elements. Good job.. Congrats on a finished piece!:beer:

[pit]

Thanks, Mandrake - glad you like it! - but i don´t consider it finished - not by far!! Will post the further progress in the WIP section.

[erilaz]

Well, unfinished or not, it kicks serious ass! And it kick serious donkey too!:D

You've entertained me the most over this forum with your amazing details and objects. I hope your next entry is as crazy as this one!!:D

Great work Pit. Despite your frustration, you've come out with an amazing and talented piece of work. In a package I never thought you could do that with!!:eek:

I'll look forward to the finished piece in the WIPs!:wip:

[pit]

@ erilaz: I thank you, erilaz - for your help and very funny comments - so in fact you entertained me. Can´t thank you enough! Hope to see you on the next challenge!

[hypercube]

Absolutely crazy insane, and insanely cool..definitely look forward to seeing this continued! And as was said, 'finished' or not, it's awesome.. :applause:

Great details, and I love the mix of styles and things everywhere, there's a lot to look at and see something different each time..never know what's coming.

Anyway, hope to see you and hopefully join you in the WIP section later, and look forward to what you do in the next challenge :D
