Beast of Burden - Character-Bulldozer

[Lukashi]

hahhaha nice model, but why is he straining to pull a little car??

[ZrO-1]

Really amazing work on the beast. I think the pose and expression both look fantastic.

My only crit right now is the truck it's pulling is tiny. Why would it strain so much with such a small little truck to pull? I'd suggest making the truck much bigger (maybe the same size as the beast) and removing the wheels. Then it would be a real burden to pull.

Great work though, the beast really looks excellent. :thumbsup:

Ah ha! Tom, my young (old?) apprentice.

Tom's a colleague of mine, and hadn't used Max until fairly recently. Been showing him Meshtools etc and he's taken to
it like a fish to water.

I look forward to the day when in true Vader style he strikes me down. (althought I will of course become more powerfull than he can possibly imagine.)

Don't think that day's far off!

I'm feeling two emotions - one I'm ecstatic that there's another cow for the Cow War(tm).

Two I'm gutted, because this looks simply brilliant.

I think 'landrover' is a little odd - but then it does have a nice commercial feel, which'll go well in any portfolio :D

Quality stuff.

Jumpy yellow things ahoy -> :bounce:

:annoyed: Tom, Matt get back to work goddammit...messing around with this bull.....

err...on second thoughts I can't talk, I'm browsing the challenges...

Right, I think it needs more tension in the back legs. I know that you are still working on the anatomy but I think the "joke" is funnier if he is pulling even harder on the little car - the strain is showing on his face but not on his back half.

Great stuff though, keep it up.

Love that expression. He's workin'. more please.:)

[TomHamlyn]

Ok I've reversed the car which helps with the effort/tension dynamic. Need to work on the harness and will probably attach ropes to the horns contructing a'Tug of War' between the two protagonists.

Maybe its a Ford...."like a rock":D anyway....I like the strain look on his face. keep it up.

[mebamonster]

Great stuff! Funny idea indeed! My only suggestion would be to fix up those back legs (as raymonkey suggested) and to fix up the harness. Right now, the harness seems a bit unbelievable...as though it could just slide right off over his head. Perhaps a collar type thngy will make it seem more secured and harness-like. Keep us posted!

I still think that car needs to be bigger. :shrug: That or maybe add in two or three more cars behind the first one. It just doesn't seem like it would be heavy enough to cause that beast even a little bit of stress pulling it. :hmm:

Just my 2 cents.

[TomHamlyn]

Made the Car bigger. Need to learn how some good rope making techniques because as you can see mine are a little crude. Still the 'Tug of War' theme works quite well je crois.
