Best wishes pal :thumbsup:

Hey thanks KU2GUN, and good luck to you too.

Ok I’ve decided on my characters class and artifact weapon,
Warlord & Fire/Lava

I wanted to create an unusual character type, did a few sketches but wasn’t getting anywhere, so I went with a bipedal muscular beast.

His weapon is the head of a magical lion or bear. He was probably hungry and didn’t want to waste the head when he finished eating the rest of the animal.
Here are a few thumbnails, and I’ll start working on a more detailed drawing soon.

#5

Hey man, so far the silhouettes look pretty standard beast man thingy, would be nice to see something a bit different. Have you thought of a name for him/it yet? maybe that would be a good place to start with design.

peace out.

#6

Hey man, how about making his animal head into his weapon - like a sort of stylish, imposing egyptian god / minotaur helmet that gives him magical powers?

Hey Kemkemkem,
do some thumbnails in zbrush, i’ve seen you zbrush stuff before and it rocks. You’re clearly a being from a higher dimension.

do it, do it… do it.

[peace and cake]

Hey guys, thanks for the comments, always welcome, I’ll definitely take those suggestions on board.

I’ve named my character GONJOLOZ: old cypriot word for monsters in story books.
Here’s a few quick sketches I did.

#9

Hey buddy, I really like the name, makes me think of powerful demons. grrrr…

#10

haha thanks Nath.

Been trying some different ideas, but I keep coming back to a beast type structure, so I’ve decided to go along with that.
I want to get down his proportions and anatomy before I think about armour and accessories. Not sure whether or not to give him horns, or maybe just big ears that could create a horned type silhouette.
This is another quick sketch which I’m kind of happy with structure wise. I think the next step for me is to create a model sheet and use that to make a base mesh. I’ll use that to try out some things in zbrush.

#11

Hey, nice arms, he must work out.
I can tell that the process will be quite organic for you, I really want to see the name drive the feeling behind the model because I think theres a lot in a name, but maybe thats me being weird - who knows?
I can’t wait to see your Zbrush stuff :bounce:, show us a base mesh next maybe?

big up.

Check out this maniac!!

are you thinking of making him this big?

#13

Thanks Nath, I think you’re right about giving character based on the name, I’ll keep that in mind. haha, don’t think I’ll be making him quite as huge as the guy in that pic:), but he’ll probably turn out pretty big.

I’ve done a model sheet, like I said before, I’ll use this to make a base mesh, then I’ll worry about accessories.

#14

I’ve been working on the base mesh, nothing worth posting yet, but I realised I havn’t got much of an idea about what to do with the head:shrug: . So I did some sketches of the head from spheres. Not realy happy with any of them, so I’ll keep trying. Any ideas?

#15

Best of luck my :thumbsup: .Lets destroy the enemies.

#16

nice work mate,

looking forward to seeing how this one develops

#17

I just know this is going to look cool!

#18

He’s a cool cat, looking forward to seeing more.

#19

Thanks guys,
still working on the base mesh, I’ll post an update soon. Trying to get all the loops I need, but still have enough left over for the armour and weapon.
