here gos nothing!
I have a six month old son...your cry is my command!

[manjang]

Hello,I know your feeling man:D a little comment,now your sketch look like parent be a master morethan child,mayb your must make a child look more scary!!
Goodluck!!

[Monstar]

I agree Manjang, I don't draw very well anymore, I sculpt for a living and find it easier to get out an idea in clay than on paper, the 3D thing is also new so I will keep my fingers crossed!
Thanks. PATTON

[6foot5]

i love the concept, its a great idea. Though i like the sketch , i agrre with manjang that it dosnt really portray the idea. though i accept that its just a sketch, im hoping you will refine it a little more, so we can get a better idea of the final composition. hope to see more soon, best of luck mate!

This is a start on the Dog or 'Hound of Heck" It was modeled in Lightwave and it will be detailed and painted in Zbrush.

[Zlatan B.]

Awesome dog.:thumbsup: Cannot wait to see the final.:bounce:

Only thing I would change is the way parents and dog are positioned.

Maybe you can have them working hard around their child to make him happy.

Good luck!

[HillbillyKing]

Awesome Hounddog. Personally, I don't think there's enough Hounds done in 3d. ha ha

like it. Look forward to seeing the progress

[StephD]

cool dog :thumbsup:
good luck to you !

[6foot5]

hey i love the dog! were there any updates on the concept sketch? are you working off the one you already posted? its just that you have a wonderfull idea there and you should really maximise it by nailing the concept to exactly what you want. you might feel later that the dog needs to be in another position or standing on his hind legs or something, and that would involve alot of remodelling. looking forward to seeing this one progress.

[Juha]

wow, i really love that dog model.. beatiful model with an nice feeling on it..
good luck...

[Goul]

Cool dog , love the style ,reminds me the dog of a friend :)

[Kenzor]

I love the idea and the dog. Have you got an alternate composition of the characters? I agree with the others, the way it looks at the moment it's not clear who is the master.

[smaddl]

very funny dog. great :thumbsup:

[jake rupert]

I like this houndmodell very much. Proportions are perfect and the cartoony style is very convincing.
Overall one of the most interesting concepts on this challenge.

;>) jake

[niki]

lovely style! ...I like this dog
I can't wait to see more ..

[DaddyMack]

Hi Monstar, great concept and an awesome start to the modelling with the hound of heck:thumbsup:

If you can capture the emotion (since you have such great reference material) in this image it will really be very powerful...

Good luck!

[Monstar]

Thanks Everyone for the kind comments (didn't know so many were watching!)
To answer the question about the ability to change the pose of the dog. He will remain lo-poly
Untill I nail down all the characters in the scene and the composition, and he only took about 2hrs. so a complete redo is not out of the question!

I will try to post some more drawings but as I said in my last post, I sculpt , my drawings SUCK!
Most of the crap I do comes directly from my head , no sketch, but a sketch is what the contest asked for.
Again, thanks for the kind words. PATTON

Here is an updated "dad", not sure about it yet. but I will go ahead and start to model his head later tonight,It will most likely change.

Hey all, here is a start on the model of Dad, he looks a bit odd to me and may look stupid when he gets hair, I think I may go with a more cartoon like face, don't know yet.
PATTON

[rynomyte]

Patton, I disagree...I think the model is coming along nicely. Judging from your sketches you seem to be going toward the zombified, wiped out parent look and I think your father model is portraying that beautifully! I say keep up the good work.

Cheers!

[safe05]

Hi Monstar! I actually think the model looks quite good. Nice detail and expression. If you want cartoony, you could go with simplified shaders and colors...Anyway, I think it looks pretty slick and will definitely be following this one. Nice work!

[UK3D]

This is great work, I love the way you emphasise your characters, the dogs posture made me chuckle and the head is fab. Really excelent start. :applause:

[DaddyMack]

Hey again Monstar, you've got a really good handle on characterisation mate!
He looks really hammered in his facial expression, his nose could move a little bit further down his face and maybe his eyes could be more sunken, a coupla wrinkles around them maybe...

Outstanding visualisation so far... Keep it coming man:thumbsup:

[Mr.Waka]

Like the idea of a living dead adam's familly ! Hurray for Georges Romero !!! héhé... :bounce: :bounce: Your firsts models are well done ! Good luck for the rest of the competition... And have fun of course ! :thumbsup:

[dmonk]

I really enjoy you modeling. A lot of style and more importantly not often seen like the way you designed your characters.

Keep it up!

[Micro26]

hi there,
love the modeling and dad has a sad look on him:) , the dog is amazing and funny nothing to critic here.More updates please:bounce:

[se7enthcin]

I love your dog. It's just way too cool :buttrock:

[Blaschke]

Great modelling! your face is very expressive!
Good luck.

[Nexusphreez]

I love this idea, and the detail you are putting in the model is wonderful. If the child is the master, it doesnt necessarilly have to be scarry, maybe crying or throwing a tantrum and the parents feel they have to oblige the childs every need. Just a thought. But its looking awsome so far.

[Marcus_B]

another cool idea may be to put a slight halo over the child's head ...some satire on his innocence

[hyperSasquatch]

That face looks amaising !! the longated exageration on the jaw is definatly lookin sweet and gives him alot of character .. lookin forward to seein more !

[Monstar]

More kind words! Thanks!



DaddyMack: I agree about the Nose, good call!!



Mr Waka : OK, I swear this is the Truth, I was with George Romero today!!!...Stop Laughing! Im working on his new Movie " Land of the Dead" not as a 3D artist , but as a make-up effects artist ( thats what I do!) I did not even think about the Zombie connection!



Nexuspreez: The baby will most likley have a calm knowing expression, maybe a raised eyebrow, Babies know they have that kind of control!



Marcus_B : A halo.... Hmmmm... That's just crazy enough to work!! Is it stealing if I give you credit??



Thanks for the kind comments it really means a lot to me, I have only been doing 3D for a short while And to hear you all say that Im heading in the right direction...well it's just too cool !! THANKS Patton

[TheFirstAngel]

Hey hi Scott! awesome models you come up with! Just wanted to subscribe and wish you good luck and loadsa fun! looking forward to your next update! keep it up!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Hooch]

oh boy!....I do know what you mean mate, I have two little demons of my own! :D
those endless nights.... :shrug:

but they sure are the joy of our life anyway! :thumbsup:

Superb modeling man. :buttrock:

[orion 77]

thats a real quality model, very expressive. he would look great with scraggly white hair in tufts on the side, it could enhance the fact he never has an easy life lol since he looks like he dosent.

Dad is starting to look like Tom Waits
on a bad day, I was trying out some cartoon hair...I don't know.

[arLutiK]

Cool modeled hair, love your modeling :thumbsup:

[Tremoside]

Whoooaa! Maybe the best expressions in the challange. Drop my jaws! :bowdown: It could be a honor from you to visit my thread. Cya,

Tremo

[pissaro]

very impresive

[DaddyMack]

Faaark, you're killing it here Monstar, I'm not sold on dad's hair yet, it may need more density up top, but then I do have hair issues so I could be wrong...

Keep the quality flowing:thumbsup:

[d-tox]

damn good modelling going on there. And as said, really good expresions. Can't wait for you to start texturing must be even better:scream:

[rynomyte]

So jealous...! Awesome models Monstar. I am having baby modeling issues right now but any problems you may be having are unnoticeable by me mate! I love the style of your models! very expressive and full of life...especially for a zombie family. I think the hair is on the right track...I thhink dads could be a bit fuller but I like the straggly/ stringy look of moms...great work man, keep it up!:applause:

[teapoter]

:thumbsup: good job good modle good zbrush

[suk-grigorij]

Yap. You definetly know what you do. Great modelling and expressins:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ! Love your dog, very sylish I'd say. keep it up.

[LouisBrowne]

yE' Very nice models
I really like the mA' I thinks shes cute... hehe just messing, seriously though I do like her model. The pUps, looks ace too. If you think she's weak as a model now, I can't wait untill you make it better!!

[Virtuoso]

I'm re-re-thinking Dad, I'm going for more of a Karloff/Lurch vibe. The old version of Dad looked too much like Lyle Lovett ( too Creepy!).
C&Cs welcome.
PATTON

[arLutiK]

OK sports fans! here's the deal,I'm changing my concept slightly, Mom's gone and her little dog too! too much clutter,too much time wasted tring to make a bad composition work.
I sat last night tring to put my son to sleep and thought, why not? So, forget all that other stuff.
Do over.

Here is the final image,some color tweeks in PS, but it was Half Lightwave half Zbrush,now finished!!(Wow I can go to sleep!)
Thanks to everybody for their kind words and gental pushing!
PATTON

[Monstar]

I forgot, here's what the final image is about.
If you have kids you know, you soon understand that you may make the rules and have control over the car keys, but that only works when they are old enough to to think they need to drive. when they are really young you find out that they are in control, they cry...you jump, you don't jump?...they cry untill your head explodes..so you jump! they smile ... you smile, they cry you want to cry, and so it gos forever. You keep them fed and warm they smile and laugh, they are the Masters, but you will never do any thing better with your life than serve them! So Chin up they will sleep...someday!
Thanks PATTON

P.S. I can't seem to upload my final Tif , I have 5 hrs and I don't think that I will ever get it to upload...

[melkao]

jajajaja great work...thats a evil baby:thumbsup:
all the babys are evil, the like to manipulate their parents...good luck

[gpepper]

Eh ! Nice job Scott ! And great stuff in Zbrush ! Congratulations ! :thumbsup:

[rynomyte]

Nice job! It is good to see the final...too bad that the mom and dog got nixed but, I know how it is....sometime the first ideas are not the best (mine changed several times). Maybe we will see them at some later date? Best of luck...I had fun watching this evolve....I really dig your modeling style....Cheers!:beer:

[DaddyMack]

Hey Scott, congratulations on a great image, I've made and raised some people myself and I know the feeling... I think you nailed it!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
