Just running through some ideas..... I don't know if the "plunger people" is a valid tolkien reference...

[Per-Anders]

interesting concept. i like the plunger people :) hehe, looking forward to seeing some more detail sketches and models

[Joel Hooks]

Started a bit of modeling on the Rahkmar....

[Mangled Poly]

oh boy and the modeling starts.. is that grass on his back in the concept?

[Joel Hooks]

Ya, That's grass. It was at first some hairs, but I got a little carried away. I was thinking hair like on a hyena's back would be interesting and then I made it into a grass/thatch saddle, but I might skip it al together in favor of leather saddle. I am thinking , if time is permitting, I might try for a rider also.

[Mangled Poly]

No KEEP THE GRASS.. thats awesome.. i like the idea, some thing new.. I dont think the BIG JR ever put grass on any of his characters lol

[Joel Hooks]

that second drawing up there was what I thought could ride him. Sort of a primitive race that prefers thatch saddles... ;)

[Mangled Poly]

thats a good idea....!

[Joel Hooks]

I think I am going to pause on the head and work out the body. I could add more detail, but I'd like to flesh out the overall picture. Having a great time.

Cool :thumbsup:
Looking nice so far! Interesting concept, and a good solid start! Have fun, and good luck! :D

[Joel Hooks]

Nothing terribly exciting. Didn't have a whole lot of time for working today... It started leaning itself towards being a cow. I may yet give it running legs, haven't really decided yet..

What you'd see at a sheep freak show...:p

But seriously, this is looking great. Nice progression!

[Gandalf]

Hey man i like the idea and the model is cool! Keep up the great work!

[Joel Hooks]

Switched gears to wings to finish this model. Such a faster modeler.

He's got Junk in the Trunk

[Joel Hooks]

I think I've taken out most of the "cow". I am settled on the basic form, time to start cutting some detail.

Yes, this is looking good lowdown...your organic modeling is improving with every model. Another one loving the wings eh...hmmm, I might have to take a look at that program. Back to the Loom!!! :wip: :wip:
