Hey i'm in, just for a short while though. I've joined very late and know for a fact i will not finish but i need to model stuff or i will not get any better ever.

I thought that for a concept the Grog species would work very well. They are a reptilian/humanoid species which feels very much at home in the swamps around the tower of Mordor i think, please do correct me.

Any way they have been appointed as guards for that region as it is the best way in, as we all know by now.

Very powerfull with big legs to move quickly through the sticky swamps, the arms are under developed as they are not required to do much but slash with the scithe, i think it's called that same as the grim reaper.
do realise i can't draw to save my life and it's making the whole modelling so difficult for me.

Hey guys,

Here is an update, i like to start from the legs for some reason, have blocked it out and have started adding detail to the legs, will leave legs for now and carry on.

The final detail will come much later when the body is done.
I think i'll carry on with this one once the challenge is finished and texture the bastard :bounce:

Hey guys,

Small update, still very wip though. I'm just adding the main features and will have to go back to add tons of details.
I think of it as different layers of paint, you need at least 3 coats.

any way, here goes and thanx to Howard on the chat for helping me out with the topology.
