Here is the first WIP picture of my entry.

I never have entered any cg competition ever so Im going to try to make a good impression on this one. :). The people on this website are amazing! So i believe its time for me to step my Game up.

Cerberus eh? Very cool. Just Get a little more toward steam punk, right now a little too mech going on. But a good start! I like the gears in thoe mouth Maybe some smoke stacks etc. Think jules vernes style stuff.

[mrpeace]

Great concept ! Ya its too mechy, a steam punk PINCH would ROCK your character!

[anostudio]

Great Modeling .. concept great too .. keep working :wip:

[walrus]

Neat character design, and nice modeling so far! I agree with silverbeam, though: The angular shapes - especially the legs - feel much more Japanese mecha than Victorian contraption. You might consider backing up to the concept phase and try really pushing the steampunk shapes a bit more. Good luck! :thumbsup:

I would like to thank everyone for the feedback so far, your right it did start off "mechy". Right now Im drilling in details and replacing plarts of the body(more elaborate legs and exhaust pipes) to make it look as Steam Punk as i possibly can :). I also put a chair on top of one of the heads, b/c i will later place a character in it controlling the dogs. :)

New and more intimidating features added. Now moving on to the materials and such...I have to reinstall my OS on my labtop so hopefully i can get things straight.

Here's the pre-visualization for what i belive would be the creation of an interesting looking cerberus. I took the influence of an modern robotic dog and decided to design backwards and make it less modern and steampunk. :)

Cerberus(gaurd to the gates of hades)is best known as Hercules final Labor. Without Arrows or clubs Hercules had to bring Cerberus back to the surface of the earth. For this image I wanted to depict a gigantic 3 headed mechanical beast that looks almost impossible to beat without weapons. I decided to make the background cloudy and surronded in a cage of metal to give it a overwhelming feel. As a result the battle would be more than just fighting a mechanical dog, yet cooperating with the the distractions of your enviorment. 3ds max, mentalray,and photoshop were used in creating this image.
