DWIV - 3D - Pitts - Gate Crasher

[Hexahedron]

I love the sketches. And the one I like the most would be A, It looks bestial.
Great job pal, keep it up.

[MichelleJC]

I really like the design on H's chest, you should definitely incorporate that no matter what pose you pick. Really awesome work!

[Pitts]

thanks hex, MichelleJC

update for the Gate Crasher...

still trying to develop the guy - dropped the dinky legs for more mass.

repainting this guys over and over. I like the silhouette, but it's just feeling less and less creative the more I look at it. I guess the third one is the closest thing I have to an abomination. might be time to wipe and start over.

any advise appreciated.

I think you should stick with this "nodes" idea,it has a quite original aspect, and is closely to black magic demoniac think or something.Nice concept anyway.

[questionmarks]

love the latest update..especially the one with black 'eyes'...^^
but maybe dont take all the armors away???

[NoChanc3]

Maybe to work the elements in, change some of the nodes to holes and have some fire spitting out, or have the fire burning underneath them, or a mix. Just some ideas.

Afterthought: You could make the nodes look like mini suns contained behind glass/crystal.

Hello

I like the last concepts very much. What I could imagine would be another pair of horns, as he need pretty much pure mass to crush through some gate. For the black or white orbs on his skin, there is so much that could be made... Eyes or bones are rather common, fire or crystals would remember me too much at diablo from blizzard (not that he is bad, but you should keep or own original style). Maybe some kind of black, nasty fluid spilling out there could look nice.

so long

thanks for the feedback guys,

OvidiusTiberius - totally agree about the black magic thing, tried to add some patterned scar/detail in the armor to push this (hellboy scars etc...). I'll have to make extra sure it conveys in the sculpt as the drawing doesn't really do the justice.

questionmarks - agree losing all the armor is rather boring. added some back but tried to incorporate a theme with it.

NoChanc3 - i love the idea, of something within the nodes, but really want these to convey like solid mass obsidian like hard points - blunt smashers.

DarkBlueArt - like the idea of black ooze, but i dont want this guy to feel mushy. I agree about more horns/mass up top. originally i wanted a whole mess of horns - like a thicket. it never came out well, however it might be something i experiment with in 3d.

Will probably make one more clean up pass - side and back drawing, but need to get into mesh soon.

for this evening a version of no armor and with. I prefer with.

Very cool design. Love the Onyx. I'll keep an eye on this one.

[QuantumPixel]

Looking really cool .. That is an awesome drawing style you have., I like the onyx with the shoulder pads the best.

[nellement]

Thats great looking,kinda unique looking minotaur,I like the right one more,keep up interesting shapes

[MartinNielsen]

Unique designs you have here :) I also think the one to the right looks best.

[SebastianWunnicke]

I agree with the others, the right one with the shoulder armor is the best. I like it that you don´t try to make your abomination as disgusting as possible, like every one else. Because of the flowing forms your creature has a very own beauty.

[Pitts]

early mesh update, I particularly like the horn thicket.

Awesome model, dude. I really like the swirl repetition. How are you gonna model that in under 10,000 poly?

[nellement]

I like the tail design,try to pout those circluar designs from the tail,to put them on some joint areas maybe..just suggestion :)
