[skygunner]

forgot to post sketch. oops.

[Remi]

Nice concept...mean buggers aren't they:surprised :thumbsup:

[skygunner]

3D WIP. enough said. i have to go get some sunlight now. ;)

[skygunner]

more details coming soon, but i'm just rounding out the proportions right now. :hmm:

[Grub]

A nice idea. :)
Maybe you could slim down his hips a bit, to butch him up.
Other than that, great. Both the Violator and its steed look interesting.:thumbsup:

[skygunner]

Thanks for the comments fellas. I'm slowly getting there. I thinned down the thighs just a tad. will be adding his hands (claws) soon along with more subtle detail to the armor and feet. :shrug:

[pigwater]

hey skygunner..it's comin along nice...good work on the boots and overall feel...your makin good progress and it's lookin just like your sketches

:thumbsup:

[skygunner]

Slowly fleshing out the details. :rolleyes:

[skygunner]

Man, i can't wait til i finish the modeling on this guy so i can move on to the flesh beast. :)

[Dreamwave]

cool, but the Flesh beast on the sketch doesn't look that mean :hmm:

[skygunner]

yeah, you're right. the pic of the beast doesn't look as mean as the description. Im going to have to make it look more vicious. I also imagine that it will be much larger too.

[skygunner]

So I reworked the head to make it more skeletal, thus more undead like. Will be reworking helmet and the rest of the armor as well as adding details as well. :p

[BoromirNo1]

Hey dude I love this :xtreme:

When r u going to post up some shots of the flesh beast? :drool:

[skygunner]

Thanks Boromir. I have been working on the flesh beast so i will post some pics tonight. I just wish I didn't have to work, so I could put more time into it. :)

[skygunner]

Here is the beginnings of the flesh beast without texture.

[skygunner]

initial texture applied on the flesh beast, but i still have lots to model. any criticism and help will be greatly appreciated. :)

[skygunner]

Can someone critique the the textures and give me some advice please?

[skygunner]

Not done yet. Gotta add more detail and texture further. Any and all advice is much appreciated.

The armour looks spot on dude. :eek:
But I would dirty up the skin on the violator. Don't look undead enough to me. Might look cool with a festering wound. :airguitar

:lightbulb Also a saddle would be cool. At the moment he looks like he'll fall of the second his ride breaks into a run.

[skygunner]

Thanks for the comments Boromir. :beer:

I'm definitely going to build a saddle and some armor for the beast. I will be reworking a lot of the textures as well.

;)

[skygunner]

I really like what you have done for this challange.both models have nice proportions and would fit into the LOTR easily.

those are great steel textures.

are you going to do some more to him, like animate them, 3 or 4 would look good running in a group.

[skygunner]

Thanks Dogbreath. :)

Yes, I plan on adding more detail and setting it up for animation. I think I need to put a lot more time into the textures as well as adding more modeling detail and what not. Of course if it runs fast enough, people won't notice anyway.

One of my inspirations for the undead violator/flesh beast was the Ork Raider unit from Warcraft III which looks really cool running in packs. However, I was thinking the size of the flesh beast might keep it from running too fast. I guess I'll try and see. If it looks odd, I'll slow down the animation. I'll post the animation as well, assuming it's decent enough to show. ;)

Lot of work and good work,Warcraft 3 rules.Your work too is very good.:thumbsup:
