#2

#3

#4

oops

#5

funny idea ,and good modeling start

#6

thnx gabe. you got some really solid models yourself, in fact there seems to be a lot of talented people with a lot of original ideas here(kinda intimidating):slight_smile:

#7

This is a great one. Very funny stuff. Any plans on the detailing/accessories yet?

#8

thnx ZrO-1, yeah, i am planning to put a bunch of accessories that will kinda hang off the sides, i gotta make a saddle for the rider too as well as a bridal that will be wrapped around the horns. do you think the details of the character are strong enough or do you think i should add more detail to the creature?

#9

this is awesome stuff man!!:buttrock:
i like your concept pretty much too. it is pretty different of the others here! :slight_smile:

#10

Well, the modeled details you’ve done all look fabulous. Perhaps all it really needs are some bump maps. :shrug:

#11

thnx guys, i am glad to here some of you like it, its always scarey when noone writes, makes me think the model sucks so bad noone has anything to say.ZrO-1, thnx for the input on the detail,ill get to that hopefully this weekend:)

#12

Well, I wouldn’t worry about yours being bad, I like it alot. Although it’s simple, I think it poses alot of potential. I am not to sure why you didn’t increase the meshsmooth one more notch, but your probably waiting until the end.

My little suggestion is to not only put alot of details in the harness, but maybe put alot of work in the feather patterns as well. Maybe give the birdy a . . . what’s that bird called, the one with the HUGE tail, a cockatrice or something, I forgot the name puts head down in shame

Also, it would also be more funny if you also gave the chubby a super heavy loaded back pack and gears with all sorts of trinkets. And for some reason, I envision a reverse baseball’s cap (I don’t know why:p)

Otherwise, keep up the good work!! You have created a magnificant start here.

I’ll certainly keep an eye out for this thread:thumbsup:

#13

thank you for the compliments Apt Pupil:) , yah, i figure id turn up the smoothness later on, i really like your suggestion about giving the bird detail with some feathers(both bump as well as geometry), is the bird your thinkin a peacock? well thats a great idea! i will certainly work off that idea. i too was thinkin about givin chubby a huge pack or somethin, and maybe a drum stick in his hand that he’s eating. i really have a hard time comming up with the details and i reallly appreciate this ideas.well i better get back to my homework so ill have some time to get some of these ideas started, thnx again!!!

#14

yah this is lookin great i love the belly on him, great charisma, you should make some foot pegs strapped to the beasts legs, the guy could kind of pushon them to get him going. thats tough to say i hope you catch my drift.
keep going this is commin along great.

Doh!! Ya, that’s it, a peacock. The sad part is, I have a bird book right beside me (I am also creating a bird for my challenge) and I could have easily checked it up :airguitar Otherwise, I agree with rizob, those foot pegs found on a horses saddle (and include the saddle) would be cool also (I think this is what he meant, but I am not to sure why you would attach it to the birds legs?? I thought those pegs or foot holders were attached to the saddle?)

Well, I can’t wait for an update. Keep it up!!

#16

hey guys, i just started on the character again and heres what i got. i added the saddle and a feather with detail on the chest. all of the things added need to be detailed right now as well as finished(foot straps) but i got all excited about posting what i got for now. thanx again for all the input and kind words!

#17

wohoo! what an idea with the thin(almost a bit goofy :slight_smile: ) beast carrying that lazy fat man. looks really cool! no crits yet, good stuff! :thumbsup:

#18

hey guys i got some progress on the character done, its not done , just seeing if there are any suggestions:)

#19

This just keeps getting better and better. Every time I get to a pic on this thread I LOL. I really like this piece.

No crits yet, I’ll see what I can be picky about.

#20
