Beast of Burden - Character/Contraption - FEDRON

#61

Legs are finished, going for the eyes (again:cry: ), the horn and some unwrap for bump map :wip: :wip: :wip:

#62

a slightly diferent angle, but you can see the non linear legs disposition.

#63

WIREFRAMES!!!

#64

Damm, that’s good!! I love what you did with the legs, you brought the second set from the front out. Awesome! I have no critiques because I don’t find there are any to give. Keep it up dude, I am looking forward to seeing him gutted with the horn, and plastered onto your final scene with the tree.

:beer:

and keep :wip: :wip: :wip: :stuck_out_tongue:

JJ3D-----> Ahi va el WIREFRAME. All polymodeling.

AptPupil-----> Yep the diference of alignement between legs is for a better movement. I’m happy you liked it! :slight_smile: .

#66

I did the eyes and the nostril again, second is better, :hmm: i think. The shot from the ground level for a more giant look.

#67

Look me in the eyes boy!!

In this angle he gat some Hippo look dont you think?

#68

Last post. Some bizarre image: the top view

#69

:thumbsup: cool!
… but I 'd rather see the eyes a bit lower.

#70

wow this beast is really coming along! very original body shape! my only comment is the eyes for now…maybe don’t make them so human looking…I mean the iris and pupil and even the spacing between them! maybe alittle bigger with some of that great swirly stuff you got going on the side of you beast incorporated!..but looking very nice!:beer:

#71

m@-----> I will go for the lowering m@…thanks

Bezerker75 ------> About the human look, it’s something i was searching for later purpose. When i will do some effort pose, they’ll be usefull for transmiting emotional feelings. But i will change the iris and pupil proportion some maybe this result in a more balanced solution. I agree with the swirl stuff, i was asking myself if model or bump map it. What do you think?

erilaz ------> Hehe, good point Erilaz!!! The swirl was inspired in these chinese lion sculptures. And thanks for the Dali comments, he’s my fav artist!!

Hunkasaurus --------> Thanks! Maybe the mythical came from the chinese inspiration that Erilaz commented. I’m happy that you’ve seen this also!!!

Hey Fedron, First-off let me just say that your BoB is one of the coolest most original beasts in this challenge. I really love the design and proportions you’ve made for it. With that said I do have a crit :stuck_out_tongue:
It’s about the eyes, I think you need to do two things to them to have them look as perfect as the rest of your BoB. First I think they need to be spaced further apart than they are right now. They look like they are about one eye-width apart. I would double that and make them two eye-widths apart. The other thing is more of a suggestion than a crit, but I think it would be awesome for you to make a spiral-curl bump like you have on other parts of the beast’s body right where the eyebrows meet…you know at the ‘furrow’.

I think those two changes would really do a lot for the face of the beast. Everything else looks amazing.

#75

Original character,Great style,Amazing modeling skills…U ROX.:buttrock:

#76

Hey guys!!
I have a big doubt about the horns. With horns it looks like Santa. Don’t you think? Here is a little try… So to horn or not to horn.

ZrO-1 -----> Thanks ZrO, your encouragement and crits are very welcome!! I will work more on the eyes i promess. But let me tel you some things i though. The point of doing the eyes so narrow was that to transmit the feeling of huge. If the eyes are in proportion to the body the beast should not look so big. But i may be wrong. I agree with about the swirl, definetely!!!

OZ------> Hey thanks for the comments Oz. Yours
is really awesome.

#77

I think if you made all of the beasts the adult males then yes, it would look like Santa’s sleigh. However if you made it say like 3 juviniles, a female and one adult male, then I think there would be enough variation to stay away from the x-mas theme.

#78

:buttrock: Wowza that’s great. He’s sweat and mighty. As for the horns, I think theywould add more sweatnes to him. Just try it,eventually you could remove them :p. I thought of a humorous character myself. I would make a woman carrying the grosseries from a supermarket. Whata you think, would that make a good Beast of Bordun? :stuck_out_tongue:

#79

I like ZrO-1’s idea, variation would definatly be an asset. As for the eye’s, don’t make me take the next flight to Argentina and hit you over the head :stuck_out_tongue: They are to human, they are destroying your fantasy, mythical style creature theme. The eyes at the moment, seem a bit comical. But then, maybe you have something up your sleeve, so I’ll see. … :shrug:

Heeehhehehe, later buddy.

#80

Oh boys!!! You want everything!!! :shrug:
You all want to make me work like a beast of buden!!:cry:

I personnaly was slowly inclining myself for the no horn version, thinking that the horn + the huge harness could be too much.
But i will go for the removable vertion of the horns so .

Crash------> I’ve seen your beast Crash, it looks really freaky but cool. I will do some post soon.

Apt Pupil -----> Hehehe Apt, it would be an honor to have you here and :beer: !!! But i’ will change the eyes :sad: . Do you preferd the old one? I was looking at them right know. Or maybe some NO pupils glowing ones? :drool:

I’m thinking on the bump map actually and in many details which include the eyes.
