Beast of burden - character - ZrO-1

#1

OK guys, here is a very very rough 5-min sketch of my idea for this challenge.

#2

It looks cool, kinda reminds me of two things, those things from dune or the brain bug from starship troopers. Can’t wait to see the mesh!

#3

Pretty sweet steering :smiley:

#4

cool idea, maybe his actual antennae can be bent back through holes and the driver steers with his antennae causing more pian/anger/frustration/burden for the creature…cool idea…

#5

Thanks for the comments guys. I refined the sketch and made some decisions as to how the BoB will look. Here is the final sketch. I’ll start modeling based on this new skecth.

#6

Cool beans. I like the ‘covered wagon’ riff now too. And while I dug it with tons o’ legs, the slimy rear dragging, uh, thing ought to be cool and disgusting…don’t get rear guard duty on that wagon train :smiley:

#7

hehehe yeah 'cube I saw your entry after I had posted my first pic and I saw that we both had made the same ammount of legs in our designs. hehehe great minds definetly think alike :smiley:

#8

OK gang, here’s the first test render. As you can see I added back in some of the legs I had in the original sketch. I also tweaked the forelegs to be more like grasping legs than spikes like the rest.

Here’s a screen-capture of the viewports:

Here is a more front view:

And here is a more side view:

@ TimD: The BoB is really big. The person is normal sized.

Here’s an update of the head region:

#14

Looks like the roaches in Jersey.:eek:

#15

hehehe thanks dmonk!

Man I can’t beleive all of the entries for this challenge. I can barely keep up with all the updates. And I’m scared I’ll have 4 pages of new posts to read if I don’t keep up…:surprised

nice one ZrO-1, it looks kinda creepy already. the front legs is the best part imo, the little pikes on them really adds alot. the head is starting to take a nice form to,
looking forward to see a more detailed model soon, keep it up :thumbsup:

#17

that’s coming along great! love the idea of the covered wagon type thing that he’s carrying…reminds me alittle of “wild wild west”…go with it…:thumbsup:

#19

:eek: :eek: looks pretty cool man!!! nothing to criticize yet! :slight_smile:

#20

@ Bezerker75: THX, yeah I was going for the wild west type idea. It’s hard to see in the crappy sketch, but the guy in the wagon is a cowboy.

Thanks for all the praise guys! :love: Here’s a new update.

#21

Reminds me of Starship Troopers…His legs are spiked, do they dig into the ground for extra traction?
