Beast of Burden - Character - Fetus23

#41

really stunning detail!!! respect!:thumbsup:
but i’d agree with zro about the DOF. it makes the giant BoB look like aminiature one.

#42

no crits this time, just wanted to inform you that your beast and it’s burden is looking really really… really really good now! :thumbsup:

#43

Thanks for all the love!!! :slight_smile:

stipen : Thanks! :buttrock:

Bezerker75: thank you…I made the vines with splines drawn in top view over the platform. Then I extruded them and manually placed and bent them so there would be no crash throughs. The leaves were added afterwards. (im still adding leaves)

ZrO-1: good input. I do agree a shot from the ground with dof might be more effective but i do like the feel it gives in these 2 pictures. Though I probably won’t be adding it to any more renders. like derwlpertinger said, it makes him look small.

derwlpertinger: thank you much!!

fellah: no crits??? woooohooo!!!

As for my final render I’m conflicted wether or not to go with GI or my standerd 3 point lighting set up…any ideas? Heres a new render with some work done on the tree…color turned kinda funky…

Love it, It has a whole “Riven/Myst” feel to it. Perhaps some nice metal textures on the hut?

#45

Thanks flypaper! Theres no textures yet but after the challenge I’ll definatly be dirtying this thing up. I started drawing the bump for the dino thanks to bezerker75’s thread :).

There wasn’t a smiley with big enough eyes to express my gobsmackedness, so…

#52

excellent !!! nuff said :drool: we got a winner here guys !!!

#53

oh btw wuts that strap around the head for ? seems its there to keep the beast’s adam’s apple from droppin off hahaa

#54

Nice work, I am not sure but I think you got this one in the bag. The only thing that rely pops out at me is the head. I guess it is just a matter of taste but there is something about it that doesn’t sit well in my mind there… Not saying that its wrong cause that’s imposable just from my point of view being very critical the head is the spot were my eye is stops.

#55

if there was a “character design” category you’d already have my vote, the design is awesome

the modeling is pretty much flawless too, but with so many great entries it’s still hard to decide :eek:

#56

Had to try the dof with this angle…straps are floating, oops.

thank you all for the kind words and critic.:beer: too early to be calling winners though…soo many great artists are still hard at work…

been doing some sketches for a head piece/look out tower…more work work work :wip:

Very, very, very, very goood!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
No critique whatsoever!!!

ok just a bitty tinny one:
the strap on the tail doesn´t look that tight, it could almost slip…

#58

See, for me, i cant critique anything that looks like it could be in a movie. Ive been at modeling for a while now, but nothing i could make would even come close to that wonderful model of yours. No crits here! you are amazingly talented and I bow to you, and about half the other people on this challenge.
