Beast of Burdon-character/contraption-otacon

#21

I stared some work on a contraption. I might just trash that whole tug-of-war deal. This beast is gonna have to work…he has to hold the front of the contraption stable with his neck, and there will be rods connected to the back that he will hold up with his hands. im not sure yet about what to put in the crate…maybe some big stones…? :wip:

#22

Small update…:wip:

#23

Did some more work on the contraption…:wip: ill work in the details later…maybe thats what everyones looking for…:surprised

#24

is it really THAT bad? I cant fix it without comments people.:annoyed:

#25

hey that looks cool so far! things i would suggest to change:
i don’t like the hands or fingers-the seem to be really flat to me.
and the part above the knee( i don’t know how its called:() needs more muscles for sure.
and i asked myself why you always add this grain effect to your pics-or is it just the bad compression?

btw the contraptipon and how it is attached to the BoB rocks!!:buttrock:
i really like how the BoB is posing.

#26

Thanks!:thumbsup: Ill fix the hands…i dont really like them that much either. As far as the thigh (the part above the knee) goes, ill work on the muscles and make them more visible. The grain was just something i was messing with, but ill stop putting that in.:wink:

#27

Small update on the contraption…

#28

looks good! I like the overall balance, that burden really seems HEAVY. you should try refercing more muscles. try http://www.fineart.sk/

Great, really coming along nicely…very cool burden design too. :thumbsup:

I’ll second the call for more muscles and detail…also not sure if you’re going to do this in rigging or are modeling in place, but needs more strain, right now don’t get a sense he’s carrying it, seems to be resting lightly on his hands…he looks very downtrodden, but should have a monster grip and his arms about ready to explode, and legs collapse.

Thanks for the comments!:smiley: Ill take a look at that link and see what i can do. I was planning on rigging him, so ill be sure to make him seem more weak and tired.:thumbsup:

#31

great model and idea but i think the hands should be bigger and have longer fingers almost amphibian like (mind the spelling)
but other than that great

#32

I think it’s great, I just think that unless that creature is made out of something with ten times the weight of gold, it would just topple over backwards - Just plain physics.

#33

Thanks for the replies.:slight_smile: Lets just say he weighs a lot…but that budon is still really hard to carry.:wink: I tried making some better muscle definition, and worked on the hands a little bit. I still need to make some more details and insignias for him. I got a render here that I used GI on…c&c always appreciated.:thumbsup:

#34

getting better now!:thumbsup: but unfortunately i can’t see much of the refined hands. but i think they look better, thicker now. another thing that you could still improve are the arms and the muscles in general. especially the arms need a bit of work. the muscles look all the same a bit like waves from this perspective. maybe you should add-as you said- more fetails. but also try to model it with more “contrast”. what i mean is that you should add some smaller muscles and some harder and some softer edges. just make it look more different overall.
i hope you could understand what i tried to explain.:smiley:
if not just tell me!

#35

I think I know what you mean. I havent started on the hands yet, but im going to fix those up soon. Ill try to make more muscles too.:thumbsup:

#36

no updates yet. I thought id take a small break from this guy for a while.:surprised But here’s another angle…just to push my thread up a little.:smiley:

#37

hehe great work, from the front on view I can tell this guy is straining to dump his load :slight_smile:

#38

I see nothing wrong with the set-up you have. One suggestion I’d make is to show a lot of stress and strain on the BoBs face and neck since his head is keeping the cart from tipping back.

#39

hahahah. It does look like that now that you said that. yea…ZrO-1, i was planning on waiting a ittle longer until i put him in a pose. This is just his defalt position right now. But I’ll be sure to make his head look really strained.:smiley: As always thanks for the comments.:thumbsup:

:cool: cool, maybe he’ll be gritting his teeth and sweating with viens popping out!!
