Well, me and taoizm finally started last night. We agreed on a old concept from Feng Zhu (http://www.artbyfeng.com) . That guy has been one of my few heros for a long time. By the way... check out his site. It's awsome.

Here's the concept

I'm going to be doing the big guy (I dubbed it the spider bike :) ) and Tao is going to be doing the rider.

I finally got a chance to work for about 30 minutes last night... so here's what I have so far. Not too much yet.

Monkeys learning to model. Who would have thought? :)

For you viewing pleasure (or whatever) the first appearance of the creature's rider.

Yea that Feng guy's art is truly amazing, I've been going there for a while now, he's pure inspiration :) oh your model looks like it's on the right track too !! keep up the good work :)

I'm sure you got permission from Feng Zhu before you started modeling right.

The design looks great I'm hoping that you can mimic his artistic style through the model.

rendermonkey23

03-16-2002, 04:50 AM

I'm pretty sure you should read his FAQ page :D

j/k... he gives permision on his site :)

Very original design concept. Nice sketch too. Keep going. :)

Taoizm

03-17-2002, 10:00 PM

sorry Joe, this monkey is relearning how to model. Meshtools are cool. :) Currently I'm experimanting with several designs so who know's what buttered monkey brains will produce. :buttrock:

03-17-2002, 10:23 PM

And this monkey has finals right now :(

Hopefully I'll be able to get back to modeling soon :)

Taoizm

a WIP of the riders head. Totally revamped, and underway. I'm starting to get the hang of this "modelling" stuff. :beer:

Good call Joe, Monkeys are learning to model. :)

Taoizm

03-19-2002, 07:37 AM

Okay, I don't know what the hell it is either. This is what happens when a monkey starts pulling edges. :)

The pelvis area need serious attention, (at least I think it's a pelvis) and maybe arms? Note to self, limbs might be good.

03-19-2002, 11:38 AM

Naw, limbs are highly overrated! LOL! Looking creepy, but what is that thing, Taoizm? Is that the rider?

Joebount

03-20-2002, 12:26 PM

The monkeys are modelling a new version of Jack in the box ! cool dude ! updates !!! thx :)

Taoizm

03-21-2002, 09:01 AM

you asked for it (well Joe did :)) and here it is... taa-daaah, another update.

pearson: yeah this will be the rider of the larger creature. (or maybe along for the ride rather than controlling. :))

Still lots to do, but having fun.

Good :) It really begin to look like a gorilla :D Just a better muscles definition and it's gonna be very cool ! (btw : can we have some vehicle's updates ?)

rendermonkey23

03-21-2002, 11:21 AM

hehe, sorry guys. I had finals so for the last two weeks I've been studying and taking tests :( All good now :)

Except I have to go to San Diego and LA for a week so hopefully when I get back I'll be able to put in a couple solid days. What's the deadline again? Cant remember :D

pearson

03-22-2002, 12:48 AM

The deadline is Midnight(EST) April 5.

Hey, San Diego and LA aren't places you HAVE to go to; it's a privelege! :p I admit I'm slightly partial, though. :D

Looking forward to the update! :bounce:

Right on Tao :) Like the lighting too.

I just got back from LA and am totally wasted :beer: (tired - not drunk :) ). Anywho, I'm to beat tonight so hopefully I'll get back to modeling tomorrow..... WHEEeeeeee!!

heh, yeah, I got screwed too. Check the thumbnail page and you'll see a bunch of broken ones because of it.

Soooo....

UP-DATE! UP-DATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!!... :applause: :grin:

First off, I want to apolagize to Taoizm and Nemo. I got this thing started and I should have finished it.

For everybody that doesn't know, I was in school with a ton of homework so I didn't have any spare time.... then I had finals which killed two weeks (one for studying, one for tests)..... then I went to LA for a week.... arg..... when i got back I had like 4 days to finish a model that was barely started and I was just plain out too tired from all of that stuff. Plus that theme didn't exactly make me jump out of bed in the morning :)

Anywho... I'm sorry guys :) We'll rock this next one (texturing.... WHEEeeeeee)
