beast of burden - character - Davorell


#21

yeah, thanks derwolpertinger,
I’m finding it a bit annoying myself.
I’ve been playing around with the profile of the jawline a lot in the last hour or so. that second pic was an update on the jaw one before.
Im trying to avoid a dragon type look from the side and yet keep it mamilian like.

heres a profile shot of the head. it seems to take years off his age though


#22

yeah the secon pic already much better!:buttrock: i’d suggest that you stop changing it now cause it looks good like it is! :slight_smile:


#23

havent posted an update for a while,
where does the time go,
heres a few with the bump maps nearly sorted out


#24

Hey man, great work so far. Here’s a couple crits I’d suggest:
The horns look a bit weird right now. I’m not sure exactly what I’d do to them, but the look off right now.

The mouth I think stretches back too far. It’s kind of like the mouth is too big for the head. The way you made it right now it almost gives the beast’s head a human-like quality. I’d go and bring in the corners of the mouth foreward to around the line where the nose ends. That should make it look more beast-like.

Just my 2 cents man.


#25

Thanks zro, I’m thinking the human quality is a result of the big ape like brows as well as the mouth
I havent actually tried shrinking the mouth that much .
I guess I fiqured at the start that I didn’t really want a horsey, deer kind of mouth,
and so I just went with a big mouth instead.
Suppose i’ll try it out now just before I put his mouth “bit”
( for the harness n’ stuff) in.
and since im going to try it I suppose I’ll the brows could be shrunk right down aswell.
Heres a photoshop, mock-up for the harness

Getting there…
Has anybody got any Ideas, advice for doing the Strapping/ harness?
Im using lofts in max4 at the moment


#27

wow I’ve been hamering away all day,
its my last day on this project, as im heading off on holidays for the week.
heres some up dates,
probably will never get it rigged but I will eventually


#28

and another rear shot,

jeez, wish I had organised this month better as i didnt start the challenge untill
about the 15th and im also gonna miss out on the last week.
well “god loves a try’er” as we say in Ireland
and I cant wait till the next one
hope its a good one,
and good luck to everyone


#29

hey i love that harness you made there! :love: only thing i can say is that you should make it more stable by connecting the strap around the neck and the one on the right of it. and maybe some straps hangin’ down to make it look more leger(does this word exist at all?). so i wish yourself some nice holidays though!!! :smiley: hope to see you again in the next challenge!:bounce:


#30

That’s a nice beast ya got there. The veins are a great finishing touch. Sorry you ran out of time but you can always come back and finalize it. Enjoy your vacation.

If you try you’ll be a try’er…


#31

Great beast you got some good stuff goin on here…
too bad you can’t work on it somemore for the challenge…


#32

Thanks guys,
just login in from my Hols, in Lanzerote.
with a bit of luck I might make it back on sunday night to do a bit of finishing touches,
I think i might have a couple of hours as I think theres a five hour time diference between Ireland and EST :slight_smile:
derwolpertinger, I think your right about the harness
to pull such a heavy weight he might need some kind of heavy neck or
shoulder brace like a plough horse, mabey
