Game Art Comp 8: Mr. Mint - Candyland/Original

#1

I’m going to take good old Mr. Mint from Candyland

and American McGee him up into a terrible mint-chopping cyborg machine monster.

I’ll have a character sketch in a bit and maybe I’ll get it done.

#2

WHat a bad guy!

#3

Dude you rock.

#4

Wow. I never saw this coming. I can’t wait to see the concept on this.

#5

Haven’t had much time or inspiration… but here’s a head design.

Mr. Mint decided to keep his face not just for sentimental reasons, but as a reminder of his destroyed and distorted humanity.

WTF?!?!??!!? You sick bastard! I LOVE this contest! You never know what’s gonna happen. Are you going to give his tentacle arms peppermint stripes?

#7

I was thinking he would spray paint peppermint stripes on his arms and legs. As for the sick bastard remark… you are correct.

#8

Mwah ha! Evil-cool! Will he have a body, too? I can’t wait to see this! I HATE clowns, and anything pink, so it makes it SO evil. (shudder)

#9

How could you do that to Mr. Mint! He’s so sweet and nice and MINTY! Damn you plucky!!!

Nice concept.

#10

lol i can picture that thing cracking skulls open with a candy cane :wip:

#11

Twisted and original concept. I like. Make one of those candyland game pieces for him to munch on.

#12

Okay, I took a break from failing at concepting this dude and started modeling me a head.

Do the crit thing, dudes and dudettes… … … …dude.

#13

Here I go again on my own!
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known!

I got a little carried away with the polygons… whoopsie… I could possibly make it, but more than likely I’ll need to cut down… That’s half of my tris right there. The body I have in mind is much much less complicated than the head… but it probably still won’t be enough… I’m going to finish it and then worry about cutting down.

#14

You should probably cut down behind the eyepeice, and at the tubwes in the back, since they won’t be seen as well. Also, the hat should probably come down a few polies. Still, it creeps me out to no end - I hate clowns.

#15

I got the polys a little more under control. I still need to cut more if I want legs… so yeah…

Tris: 2890

I’m just kinda winging it with the design now… perhaps a 3-armed behemoth was the wrong choice for me to try so low a polycount with…

#16

looks really great so far haha… very wierd, but awesome :smiley:

#17

Okay… After many hours of insanity I think I finally have the triangles under control at 2998… While also completing the model… Woo! And unwrapping it! Woo x2! 2 days for texturing! Down to the Wire!

#18

Really, really, original idea mate! Looking forward to seeing those textures, it could make, or break this peice!!

#19

I hope I’m not breakin’ it :slight_smile:

I think I’ll get it done… because I believe in miracles… … …and fairies.

#20

Okey dokey…

3000 tris
