Beast of Burden - Character - phyle

#1

Hi there. Great topic this.

just posting up what ive got so far before i go to bed. Ill post a sketch and description tommorow, tired now.

#2

3rd page and no replies?
What do people think? good? bad?

Heres a very rough sketch i did.

His little story is. In the future people grow these creatures really big To haul things around. People use technology to tap into theyre brains and control them. The thing is every now and then they gain control again and kill lots of people. So theyre jaws are bound shut, thyre teeth are filed down and horns broken off to minimise the damage.

Im not sure if he’l be carrying something or pulling something behind him.

Hey man, I like it!

#4

Looking good so far… :thumbsup:

Was a bit worried when I saw your head, but we’re on completely different tacks :slight_smile: I like the story idea and the fishy/crunchy kind of thing you have going…broken horns/tusks are always great.

#5

Thanks for your responses guys. Heres what im up to at the moment. just roughing in the body.

#6

I really love the design. I just wonder if it clashes too much with rule #5 for this challenge. That looks a bit too humanoid IMO. I still like it, just thought I’d toss that out there.

#7

Yeh I was a bit worried about that, but id tried to make him as non-human as possible, hunching him over and with the legs…
it depends how you define humanoid, A lot of people are doing bipeds.
What do the mods think?

#8

I really like the design, and would love to see a smoothed version.

#9

eheh, nice head!

#10

I asked lildragon about the humanoid thing and he said he looked like a beast, so thats a releif.
I havent done much more, max keeps crashing(how unusual). should have an update tonight or tommorow maybe.

synergy- next update will be smoothed, it just looks bad smoothed at the moment-looses all its volume.

#11

I love the head! :love: It looks great! And the body is coming along nicely. Very sweet! :thumbsup:

#12

if this looks like a human I’m definitely an alien :slight_smile:

looks great :thumbsup:

#13

Thanks guys!

Just a quick update, havent really done that much… Thought id do a little gi render.

#14

Looking great - why are all his teeth and horns broken off ? Sawed off? What’s up with the back anyhow? Are they scales? A bit more liping etc. might show it better if they are.

looking foward to more,

wee, that guy is scary! I like the way you’ve made those horns to look cutted of. maybe you sould do the same thing with the teeths? that would look cool! and more “bags”(my english is failing me :wink: ) under the eyes, well it’s a WIP but it looks really good and promising so far,
keep it up :thumbsup:

#16

All those eyes, all those teeth, all that muscle! How did this thing get domesticated?? :surprised

Really nice. Looks very strong. I like the way the muscles bunch up at the back.

#17

one of the most impressive BOB to me very good, morphology perfect for this kinds of jobs !!

show us more !!! quiiiiick !!!
i still refresh the window !

:thumbsup:

#18

This is gonna sound stupid but, what is meant by “gi” render?

#19

“GI” render is Global Illumination. If you want to know what global illumination is… um… ask your doctor.

Let me just say I know what it is but I can’t explain it well.

:shrug:

Okay, I’ll give it a shot:
Global Illumination is the process of simulating real-world lighting.

Now, let the numerous GI definition posts begin! :smiley:

So is that basically the same thing as radiosity?
