Gods/Demons - character - BASSit

[toma]

Well,

It looks much less original than your RustBot model, i wonder why...

I'm impatient to see how this model will be. Keep going Bassit !

[BASSit]

Yep toma, i hope to finish this god :D and it will look much more original if i´ve added all the details i´ve planned :wip:

Here is a small update...

[MichaelHebel]

Well, it is getting its form from day to day - looking forward

[BASSit]

Thanks Michael, it´s very far from finish and i just make small steps ;)

I have started to model the muscles on the leg and placed a biped to show how tall this god is.

Any comments so far ?

[diazgl]

man, you started out weird, but this looks great!!! I love the idea, something as huge as that, cos almost everyone i've seen is going for human sized!! Anyways, really great, though it reminds me of a 3D render i've once saw in a gallery somewhere (3dcafe i think). Is it gonna be a statue, or an organic living entity?

[BASSit]

Thanks diazgl for the kind comment... This will be a living thing - if i have some time after finishing that model i will do some enviroment and (hopefully) a pose.
I´ve checked 3dcafe but coulnd´t find what you was talking about - you don´t have a pic or link, dont you ?

I am not sure about the spikes...they looked great in the sketch, but turned out a little annoying - maybe i cancel them or try something else.

[BASSit]

I think the spikes looking better now...

...tell me your opinion !

[BASSit]

Some progress on the head...

http://www.image-identity.com/source/apophis_05.jpg

Any comments would be great, because i am no snake-lover and not sure about that beast ;)

[Sangotten]

cool dude!:buttrock:

I think the model looks cool so far, but you may want to make his stumach a bit larger, now he is to skinny! The spikes may look better when they are straight, not hanging down....

Keep up the cool work...

[henry]

at first i didn't think this would turn out to be a good idea but then I saw that you are really turning it into something good, keep up the good work will ya :P


p.s. what's with the biped?? :wavey:

[diazgl]

hmm, not exactly your model, but it reminds me of it....
Oh, and i've sent you to the wrong place!

[BASSit]

Thanks for the comments :beer: !

Sangotten : I will work on the stomach soon - thanks for pointing this out ! The spikes should be bend down... otherwise they would hurt him during walking :hmm: Maybe i bend them just a little bit (more straight than curved) and make them some shorter !?

henry: The biped was just placed for reference to get a feel for Apophis height :D

diazgl: That image would fit in this challenge very well ! Haven´t seen it before.

I hope to have the head finished by tomorrow...

Have a nice day everyone !

[BASSit]

Some changes made... the head is still not finished - i hope to find some time today and work on it some more.

here is a higher resolution: 1280 x 1024 (http://www.image-identity.com/source/apophis_06_wall.jpg)

C&C are always welcome !
BTW: i just bought "C&C Renegade" - that was a big mistake :D . . . it cost some of my sparetime :p

[schmu_20mol]

nice work Bassit! ...waiting for updates....mmmhh about the head...think the plate (or whatever) shortly behind the head needs some volume....keep on;)

[Hellbring]

looking good dude...can i suggest maybe some more arch in the back and/or maybe some stomach hanging down....seems a little table like at the moment

[BASSit]

Thanks people - getting feedback is always a great thing :D keep it coming !!

schmu_20mol: That plate is ... how is it called in english (eine Art Kragen - wie bei ´ner Kragenechse). But i need to define it some more - it really looks like a plate now ;)

Hellbring: Ofcourse you can suggest - that´s why i post updates regulary :beer: Yes, i need to work on the belly again... there will also be lots of spikes starting from behind the head and going along the back till the tail !

Too bad that a snake would need at least a bump-map to look like a snake :( Is it cheating if i add a bump to the finished model ?!? I don´t think it´s possible to build all the cells for the skin... any suggestions ?

[BASSit]

I hadn´t much time lately, because of harddisc crash :( I hav just finished installing all apps and plugins for Max - so just a few changes. Have a look !

[BASSit]

here comes another update . . .

http://www.image-identity.com/source/apophis_08.jpg

and here a screengrab for the wire . . .

You can find a higher resolution here !!! (http://www.image-identity.com/source/apophis_08_1280.jpg)

I hope you pros out there can give me some comments on the mesh. e.g.: What to change ?

[Pancreas]

Wosh! i really like how the creature´s getting on, step by step. Nice one!
I´d add fangs to the snake head, and deep more the eyes.

[Fetus23]

cool concept...its getting there....more more more....
maybe a grimacing sharp toothed smile?
or a harness to rope this mamoth beast!!

keep em coming!

fetus

[Wraith]

Everytime I see this one you have added more detail :) Keep it up :D

My March Challenge So Far (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3816&perpage=15&pagenumber=1)

[BASSit]

Thanks for taking da time...

Pancreas: The fangs are only visible if the mouth is open - so i have to model all that stuff that comes with the fangs (e.g. gumbs and poison-bag (is that a word ?) ! Will do, but could take a while. What do you mean by "deep more the eyes" ? (Sorry, my bad english :( )

Fetus23: That harness would be agreat idea for a demon. I don´t think that the god Apophis would be happy if he is roped :D
The tooth are on their way and maybe a smile - will see how it looks.

Wraith: There are still a lot of details to add and i just make very small steps - but at least i make steps ;)

[diazgl]

uhm, just a little q, was apophis a vicious god? And if so, how are you gonna show this on the head (cos my imagination just don't work right!!)

[Threedeemer]

Great job BASSit! I like the progress, I have a couple of suggestion you can consider; how about defining underneath the jaw, more of a bone structure like a crocodile's, also where the pelvis and back legs connect could use more bone and muscle definition. I understand if your going for more of a sleek look though.

[BASSit]

diazgl: I think he was a vicious god - really evil ! But i am no expert if it comes to gods... so may be someone out there knows more about Apophis.

Threedeemer: Thanks ! I agree with you to define the back legs some more. I haven´t started these yet. I am actually working on the head...
http://www.image-identity.com/source/snakehead.jpg

Is coloring within the rules (guidelines) ?!? Or do i have to submit a completly grey model ?

[BASSit]

Some kind of update :(

I think i am not able to finish that model... just got a job.
Maybe i have some time but i don´t know how far i will get.

[diazgl]

they should have you arrested.......


could "I" have the model? (ihihhihih)

[BASSit]

Diazgl: Uhm...WHO should arrest me ? And WHY ? Have you forgot to take your pills ??? :D
You can try to model it by yourself (hihihi) ! Should not be that hard.

I will finish this snake once i´ve more time :wip:

[diazgl]

i mean, just leaving this model like that, but if you are too busy, i guess we just have to go along with that, right? And no, i am NOT a good modeller, to model that by myself...damn, i have hard time modelling a sphere....!?

[BASSit]

I haven´t had much time lately ... and i am also working on another project. I´ve also learned that i actually need much more time than one month to create a character :(
But leaving a started project (in this case this challenge) unfinished makes me feel bad ! So that´s why i´ve put some time into fast rigging and fixing some parts on the body...

So here are my final images:

I know i wont get a single vote for this god, but now i feel much better :D

Have a nice weekend !

Dennis (aka BASSit)

[diazgl]

RIGHT!!! Man, you sure got MY vote!! OK, so you haven't finished your character yet, but the idea is nice and your model is going really well.

[Koma]

dont be sad you make a good job ,the most important its not to win or to have vote ,i will probably not have alot of vote but iam proud of what i do and i had fun to model my character .
