Game Art Comp 4: Ebola : The Wolf (3 little pigs)

Hi all i thought i would throw my hat in the ring.

I am gonna do the wolf from the 3 little pigs.
this started as a sketch inspired by bobo's pig posted on polycount (and here too I see now)

anyway I liked the way the sketch was going so why not try my hand at the competetion.

anyway here it is for what it is worth




Old Version


crits welcome (I don't always see what I'm doing wrong)

Looks like very muscular to me. What about the tail?

Good work!

like your concept! it's looking really good! like the muscle tone on it!

here is an update as to how the 3d version is going as of tonight

just over 1000 poly's right now, the rest of the body doesn't have as much detail as the head



oh and fixed the old version link above

wheeeeeeeeeeeeee, looking good!


mehhh..



:annoyed: i want morrreee...

looks good so far. I was about to say there's too much detail, but with the high poly limit, you should be fine. post progress.

The nose is not really dog/wolf like. A dragon has that kind of nose, but a dog has it's noistrills pointing forward. Just something that struck me as odd, furthermore it looks good.

hi all, heres the nightly update

good call david <--- gets cookie

anyway here it is as it stands tonight. tired going to bed 1 am...




1520 poly's, 500 of which are in the teeth (will prolly change those)


anyway lookin good, I'm tired any other crits they always help

thanks peoples g'night

[edit] can't type, can't think I need sleep [edit]

hehe
nice!
Anyway... i wonder what a heroic prince-wolf would have looked like against three demonic nasty pigs



looks like your wolf will be even nastier!
good luck!

hi just a quickie update, fixed the teeth and recovered over 300 polys... woohoo



anyway will post again tonight as to how the body is coming along smiles

WIth the teeth, I would probably do even one less side, so each tooth would be a maximum of 6 sides, and then probably loose detail on the inside of the tooth where you don't see, but then again, it all depepnds on how it looks, and if you have enough polys at the end.
Looking good so far, looks like the concept

Actually, the more I look at the teeth the better they become.

Ignore the stupid one
<-----

Hi all update

1682 polys





im satisified so far... any crits? comments?

oh and to those interested, A video of my early bones testing (and my first time using bones ever ;P)

Bonestest Video

Looking great but there is one thing that immediately occurs (and I mentioned something similar on the Headless Horseman thread). Wasn't the wolf already edging towards the 'not to be trusted' and perhaps 'not really terribly benevolent' side of the fairy-tale character world?

There is, I might add, a theory springing up at the Horseman thread that if you try and do an evil version of an already evil character it cancels out and you should, in fact, end up with a nice entity. A wolf cub maybe...perhaps with a nappy and an oversized safety pin...

Like the model so far though. Is the concept sketch hand drawn?

hi all just updating with what the model looks like now.



also an animation test on my site, can't link to avi's :(
