beast of burden - character - the chad

#1


This is my first time doing one of these contests.
This is my idea.

#2

lookin good chad man! glad to have u aboard, this defenetly will be an entertaining challange, me u ryan mike maybe brandon :smiley:

good luck!

#3

I like! Very Kangarooesque!

#4

hey, nice concept! I really dig the feet. the straps that connect the beast to the contraption should be a bit lower for better weight distribution. It would be cool if the creature also used its arms to help it pull the contraption along. maybe give it a large block of wood in the front for it to grab onto and push.

good stuff though! can’t wait to see more!:stuck_out_tongue:

i am thinking of adding a structure for his arms and i have yet to design what he’s holding
any ideas anyone

#6

i am looking for a good web site to help me with the muscle structure
maybee a dinosour site
any links would be greatly appreciated
thnx

#7

Nice design. As far as the muscle structure. Anything you find about dinosaur muscle structure is basically guess work by someone (because fossils don’t have info on the muscle shape/size). If you want to base the muscles on something real I think a blend between an orangatang or chimpanzee for the upper arms and an ostrich for the legs and body would be your best bet. I’ll see if I can find any decient pics of those for you.

#8

here is a test i did ive basicaly only worked on the legs and its in peices i still havent found a good muscle reference so im wingin it :hmm:

#9

here is the final sketch of my beast and contraption tell me what you think

#10

hey, that’s a lot better. the bone-cart thing rules! whoever gave you the inspiration for that is the master!!! :rolleyes:
still think it needs a giant laser cannon that could fire a laser that would deflect off of saturn and blow-up uranus.

peace out.

#14

The legs are really starting to look awesome. I love the little folds you added just above the heel. That’s such a nice little touch. :thumbsup:

#15

damn u chad man! ur goin down! heh!

sorry this is a bit late, but for muscle structure, what i used was kinda a mix between human legs, and lion, because i worked on the griffon last challange i used alot of that knolledge the rest i kinda just made up :smiley: but it works eh

umm yea man ur hind quarters there are lookin pretty damn spiffy, witch means i have to step up my progress :smiley:

good luck

#16


Im having trouble with the arm.I cant seem to get it to look right were it attaches to the body. It doesnt flow right.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thnx

#17

Maybe try making more of a curve where it meets the body, or a little shoulder. Looks good by the way.:thumbsup:

#18

ahh chad, yes the arm doesnt attach very well, ive had this same problem when i started my character, i ened up starting again witch isnt the best advice heh, but i had the same problem with the griffon too, its hard to get that front arm to attach, right now it looks like it just sinks into the skin, u have to have the muslces from the chest and sholders form into the arm connection, u really ahve to get under the skin and make the muscles work for u, take a look at how certain animals are, like horses, lions :smiley: humans anything, ull get some ideas. try modeling his sholder blades figure out where tehy are and go from there, gl :smiley:
peace

#19

I think the arms are too far forward on the chest. Try moving them out to the sides and closer to the back/spine. that might help tie them in a bit more.

#20

this Zro-1 character is a smart person. I totally agree. plus you should add a laser cannon.
