hey everyone. this is my first post!
I’ll be making a LOT of changes to this design. The major changes include broadening the tail, arching the back forward, and broadening the ankles. I’ll also be adding lots of buckles and straps and various cowbells 
He/She will be pulling an entire village of nomads, I think. We’ll see. I want it to look like more of a slow, grazing animal. Any ideas?
Much love.

hey hey! thats cool, altho its fur it ll be hard to do cause were not texturing our models or using fur but i guess u could try a bump map or try to model the fur heh 
keep up the good work ill keep my eye on ur thread
Peace
hey, thanks for the feedback Twisted.
here’s another sketch I did.
didn’t make any changes to the body in this one. just wanted to see how the contraption would look. a few more sketches coming soon…and then I start the model!

here’s another idea I’ve been messing around with. I kinda want to stay away from the typical large, bulky pack animal. I’m not sure of what exactly is up with the rabbit theme though.
I gotta decide on which direction I’m taking quickly. I need to start modelling this thing soon!
must…have…feedback…

I love the blue sketch. That is an awesome pic. I really like the wagon/cart design. And the BoB looks cool in that one as well.
Nice! I really do like the two legged approach…reminds me of sam keith’s Maxx outback kritter the Crabbit. Thats a good thing btw.
Can’t wait to see some 3d of this guy.
Hey Gy-an
like the first design of your furry marsupial character , this is just my opinion but I think it would look good if u added another pair of smaller arms to it .
can’t wait to see it in 3-d though
cheerz
I like the blue sketch alot…the only thing that kinda bothers me is the head of the character looks a little phalic…other than that looking cool.

oh dude! I had NO idea! I’m SO SO SO sorry!!!
I just took breaver’s advice and threw on some more arms (or legs, rather). I just saw your beast now. haven’t had time to see many other posts.
wasn’t intentional…sorry!
peace

Hey man!
Cool ideas, i’ll have to go with the blue sketch like most the others… be carefull though if there arent any arms/hands make sure theres enough stuff in the general area to make it interesting.
Tis all for now! lata!
it does look pretty odd without arms, but that’s what I was going for 
I’ll try to populate the upper torso with enough chains and belts to relieve some of the bareness, without making it look cluttered. I’m focusing on giving each of the belts/straps a purpose rather than randomly throwing them in.
I’d also like the beast to look majestic and revered by its people, rather than look like a servant. it’ll probably need some type of ornate attire or something. I’ll figure all of that out once I get the body done.

Heh! I had trouble deciding on a design, too. I think the blue drawing is the best design of the bunch.
Start modeling already! :bounce:
Go with the blue sketch.It is the most unique and from the looks of it, thats what will win the contest;)
why not make that guy carrying california on his back to a toilet a la aenima haha, no i agree blue sketch all the way :buttrock:
@ opiate: LOL don’t worry about that bro. I was just busting your chops a bit. It was in good humor not bad. Frankly the fact that your sketch had many things simular to mine just goes to show that you are a super genious artist (just like me) 
hehehe no wories mate!
