This is my concept sketch for CG Society Strange Behavior Contest. I am trying to show that, an innocent Mantis hearing music from a headphone when it is lying alone.

Yesterday I have done this headphone for my Musix concept.

This is my current work in progress image. I am planning to enhance it more.

[RockstarKate]

Nice concept and modeling so far!
I think you could push your concept a little more though. Maybe it would be interesting to have the "praying" mantis listening to something religious by showing a video playing on the monitor, maybe of the pope speaking or of a church choir singing. Then you could put the mantis in its praying position.
-OR- you could make it so he's listening to something like heavy metal, something with devils and such and you could make him look like he's headbanging.
I'm just trying to think of things that could help the concept a little. It is strange that an insect is listening to headphones, but I think you need to add another reason why.
Just some thoughts! Good luck with the contest!

[Ligo]

I like the ambience you are building, calm silent evening with music playing. This is where my suggestion comes in, In this enviroment i think it would be great to have more than one mantice just calmly laying around listening :) Understand my thought? The model for the skin pads on the headphones need to be softerlooking and a little bit irregular. but maybe thi is already planned for?

Have a nice day! Cheers

Excellent modeling, shading and render !
Great job Subhendu !

[Frotze]

Composition works well, modelling looks awesome! The tricky part will definitely be to make it obvious right away that the mantis is listening music, which is kinda hard since you're going for a pretty realistic scene, and real mantises (spelled that right?) don't have that much of what we call facial expression. But great concept! Looking forward to what you'll come up with next.

[ziriguidum]

hahahaha.. funny idea. good luck! see you later.

[subhendu3d]

Thank you very very much Kathleen, Linus, Gilles & David for your valuable encouraging words towards my creation. I am so glad to have some replies like yours in my forum thread. Again thank you all very much. :) :) :)

[subhendu3d]

My latest Update about strange behavior is: I am currently rigging the mantis for proper posing.

[nethken]

haha, this is cool, made me laugh, nice and simple concept, and it looks great. Fantastic modelling by the way!

[Korendo]

Greetings Subhendu,



Wonderful work! Very inspiring 3D models, textures and lighting, but perhaps to increase the look of pleasure on the mantis (and ensure that the concept of a music loving bug) could be visualized by posing it in a human leisure pose, propped on its back by the head phone maybe with its arms behind it head really getting into the music. So the viewer could really get these details move the camera closer to the bug.

Verry nice :thumbsup: Adding some DOF to the scene will make all more real.

One day I had a dream of this concept. I was listening music from my computer, for a while I was away from my PC for coffee. Than when I was return to my desktop I was wandering that a mantis is acting like listing music from my headphone.

So I was trying to show the picture that I had visualized.

[Sailendu]
