Beast of Burden - Character - fellah

#1

hi,
I would like to start with thanks to all the mods who’s taking their spare time to make these challenges possible, you ppl are great!

over to my contribution, made this concept today after reading the guidelines.
I can still see alot of stuff on the sketch that looks weird and which I could improve, but I’m not going in to make this a 2D challenge for myself :wink:

story:
when the earth was born the gods used these beasts as slaves to build the world, that’s it :slight_smile:

I’m gonna make him a really detailed and muscular beast in 3D with alot more details then you can see in the sketch,
I’m really going in this one to challenge myself.

take care
// fellah

damn thats what I call a sketch, really great :slight_smile:

but wouldn’t he has problems to run?

#3

nice to see you back!..looks cool so far.
:bounce: Crank it out in record time! :bounce:

#4

I dig him!

At first glance he looks like he would just fall over since all his weight is so far forward. However his weight is almost like a counterbalance for the cargo he would be pulling. Like he couldn’t move or stand unless he was pulling something. Very clever!!

My Fault

#5

IC4-: yes he would :slight_smile: he’s not supposed to though as he’s more of a slow\strong little fella.

skello: hey there skello, nice to see you again! I probably won’t go for a record this time though :wink:

My Fault: wow, I didn’t think anyone should notice that, I actually had that in mind when I drew him, you’re very cleaver! :slight_smile:

#6

Kind of reminds me of those sketches that were in the Ian Livingstone books (was it Ian livingstone? I can’t remember). you know, the fighting fantasy books?
Good design. The 3d should look amazing if your other work is anything to go by!

#7

Really nice to meet u in this challenge…now im sure…it will be a great one with ur presence!:bounce:

#8

Awsome sketch man! If the final product looks anything like your avatar, I’d say we are all in for a real treat!:thumbsup:

#9

I can say right now Fellah…You are a real contender already with that excellent concept/sketch…Great girth to that beast, I like it very much, go for it with all you can and this will be one great entry, looking forward to more…This looks very promising…:thumbsup: :slight_smile:

#10

holy bandoli, I just woke up and saw 40-50 new entries, this one is gonna be big!!

erilaz: I actually don’t know who he is, but I’m gonna look it up. I actually got my inspiration to the first concept from a fish which I mixed with a camel :wink:
OZ: thanks, glad to see you, and good luck in the challenge!
Clockwork: thank, it’s gonna be better :wink:
Virtuoso: I’ll do my best, thanks! :slight_smile:

I couldn’t sleep last night so drew another concept:

which one should I model(first :wink: )???

#11

Hey fellah !!!
I prefere the second!! I can’t wait to see it modelled 1!!!:bounce: :bounce:

#12

me too,I can’t wait to see it animated!!! (3)

#13

Yeah i like this one better too… try and give it the hunched and straining look of the first one. :wip:

#14

thanks skello, stipen and, err… nanoneen, I’ll get back to you :wink:

I gave the second concept guy a try but it didn’t feel like a real challenge, it feelt like I should be able to finish it in 1 or 2 days and I wanted to do something really complex and detailed this time so I started with the first one instead…

nanoneen: lol! :smiley: I actually believe I know where that line you’ve used a couple of times is “ctrl+c’ed” from :wink:

btw, if anyone wan’t to model that last concept, just PM me. if not, I’ll model it after I’ve finished the first beast.

#15

ouch, 4am… well, I can’t model on this piece tomorrow as I have 2 other projects I have to finish soon so I thought I’d post my progress so far.

try to not pay to much attention to the very poor and quick lines, they are just there to show you where it’s heading… and, my mouse is really poor :wink:

in the end there will be much more chains and trinkets covering him, even more then it’s shown on the concept.

#16

That sucker looks devestated!

#17

Looking good.
I reckon he looks a bit unbalanced still. You should attach chains to him up the top, thatd look like hes being held up more.

#18

nice start,iam really hurry to see him finish with all the detail that you say ,well good luck ,i keep an eye on this thread …wouuuu hoooou:bounce:

#19

Wow! Great progress already! This is going to be a killer model!

Great to see you back on a challenge; I really liked your pirate entry.

#20
