Oh, this is cool! I love the flamingo- buzzard hybrid. And the expression on the rider is classic! :scream: Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got in store!

here it is.haahahah. well i hope you like it. everything needs to be detailed now(i just layed out the main geometry)

#23

LMAO
That’s great bro. Very funny, they both are beasts of burden now :smiley:
I really like the backpack, I think it fits perfectly with the overall theme of the piece.

#24

hahahhaha! I love this piece!! MORE! I want to see MORE!!!

#25

thnx you guys for all your kind words, heres some more pics.

#26

awesome concept ! and good modeling :drool:

#27

Whoo hoo I found something to crit :bounce:

You need to put some kind of pegs in the end of the pole that runs across infront of the saddle. Otherwise the sacks would slide off the ends.

#28

good call ZrO-1, thnx for the help:)

#29

and thank you hiko!!

#30

hey guys heres my progress.i suck at rigging characters and they need a lot of fixin up.

#31

Fantastic! Absolutely brilliant. :smiley:

Reminds me of that weird stick insect-alien thing that carries god around on his back in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, but way cooler.

Fantastic work.

Hey tubby, this is turning out awesome! :applause: This is one of those things that would make a kick-ass, hilarious animation. Just seeing that guy trying to balance the load on that bird would be priceless! Do you have plans to animate it?

Steve

BTW, what app are you using?

#33

thnx for the nice words erilaz, i havent seen the movie but now i wanna check it out for references, ahhahah

thnx Steve Warner for all your compliments!!!, i actually would love to animate him, and i prbably will down the line, maybe like a short struggle with the rider and the bird, ahahah:) , im using 3dsmax4.:slight_smile: your model is kickin ass itself, i really want to see some updates!

#34

Hey there,

Very NIIIICCCEEE, I love what you did since last I saw him. You really did it with the backpack heheheheh:applause:

Just a tiny little suggestion though, right now there is to much happening in the face area of the bird, therefor, I am not sure, but maybe lowering the reins a bit might help. Also, although your character is balanced ok, maybe a little something in the front would help counter act that weight “look” of the back. In this case, I just put a flimcy shader, but I am sure anything else would be fine.

Otherwise, I am looking forward to seeing you tackle the details now that you have blocked everything in. Keep up the good work!!:thumbsup:

I’ll be back:)

hey Apt Pupil thank you sooo much for those suggestions. thats so cool of you to take the time to mess with the image to show me! all of your ideas are really strong and really good, im gonna use all of them and make the model resemble what youve displayed because it is excactly what it needs. im glad you like it and i am definetly gonna add the details really soon. hey by the way, you are an amazing artist, i saw your concept sketches and my jaw droppped, i like what you have started modeling and it looks like your as strong in modeling as you are in drawing. thnx again and keep up the good work!!:slight_smile:

#36

Hey, thanks for the compliments. I am happy I could help. Not that you needed it anyways, your model is coming along swimmingly. Just keep posting, I wanna see this dude finished.

So lets both keep up the good work!! :beer:

#37

funny funy funny - marvelously work - i think in the box there was beer much beer hehehe

#38

Hee hee hee! You make me laugh! Excellent modeling (as usual)
the only suggestion I have might be for your pose. Perhaps you should play with the bird’s long neck and streach it out in an attempt to balance the overall load rather than having it rearing back? Just a thought
but in the end, it’s up to you and your funny funny sence of humor. keep us posted!:buttrock:

#39

Thats rad! keep it up!!!
