beast of burden - character - iC4-

#21

Great model. I like everything except the feet. You need to work on the ankles. Right now it looks like it’s wearing pants. Everything else is cool. The dark shaded version reminds me a bit of the bull that’s down by wall street here in NY.

thx zro-1, will work on this :stuck_out_tongue:

#23

He that is gooing really well I wish I already had the moddeling skils you are having now. :applause:
Your ox is good man I only think you could look at the back legs and his butt.

#24

little update

playin with some gi scripts in maya :wip:

also started working on the vehicle, changed my concept a bit…I think you can see what it will be :wip:

#25

only worked a few minutes on this, just to let you see what it will be :slight_smile:

#26

Very nice…

you should put some strength , the beast is pulling a hard charge.

Sorry about the english…

#27

do you mean the pose of the model? this is only the “modeling” pose…this will change after I finished the model

#28

little pose test

#29

Looks great, comming along nicely…

I think you may want to look at examples of oxen pulling blows, or Horses. I’ve always seen a harness over the shoulders, I think your bull would endup pulling him self out of that belt he has on.

thx for these images redfuzz, I will change this

#31

Really nice work, IC4-! You’re creating a great impression that the creature is straining to pull the weight. Love it! :beer:

thx, like your character too - it has much “character” :wink:

#33

:applause: Cool! :applause:
I like the force sensation that gives the front leg extended !

I think that this image is going to be usefull for you!

#34

I love the rendering of the beast! :bounce: Maybe it’s back legs could be angled back a bit against the strain of pulling? Also, will the two heads be identical? Really nice work!

#35

JJ3d: thx for this image, it’s very helpful

inanna: first thx, and yes you are right, I think I will change this. and adding a bit random is also a good idea :thumbsup:

#36

Just a little thing… the chains look a little too circular. This may be what you’re after, but I’m thinking the chains look a little weak like that. I think your beast would tear them from the frame!!

Just an opinion! :smiley:

#37

at the moment these chains are just placeholders, there will be better ones after I finished the harness

#38

little update

not sure about the front harness, maybe I will try something else

at the moment I’m thinking about what the rider will look like, and about the vehicle which the beast hauls :wip:

#39

started working on the rider

it will be a strong ork type creature, maybe a bit fat with heavy armor

#40

just the basic shape
