:applause:
no think to say
just go go go :slight_smile:

#22

Looking very nice, i would love to keep him as a pet someday hehe Does he bite? :applause:

#23

Hey thanks fellers!

Detailed modeling is well on itā€™s way. Iā€™m pretty excited actually. :slight_smile: And trust me, he wonā€™t bite because you wonā€™t get that close to find out.

#24

love the 3d form this guy is taking onā€¦canā€™t wait to see moreā€¦kinda a cute godzilla/robot thing goingā€¦but looking sweet!:beer:

#25

Cool idea. Love the final sketch (profile) image. Really looking forward to seeing more details in the 3D model as you progress.

The head reminds me a little of the screamapillar from the Simpsons. (Have you seen that episode)

ā€œWithout constant reassurance it will die. Sexually attracted to fire.ā€

Would look cool in a godzilla style city scene blasting away skyscrapers with itā€™s sonic boom vocal chordsā€¦

#26

More progress on the neck and shoulder area.

#27

Both smoothed and unsmoothed versions. More detail will come to these updated areas once I get this second pass of the whole model complete. (I donā€™t like to completely detail one area before I get everything else modeled)

#28

really nice clean model and 2d sandpiper ā€¦ coming along wonderfully ā€¦

great reel on your site by the way ā€¦ sharp stuff :thumbsup:

#29

Working on getting some detail going in the mouth. Whale like teeth pattern and tongue shape. Everything is quite symmetrical right now with the modelā€¦once I get everything finished, Iā€™ll collapse the mirroring and do some randomizing of the forms.

#30

thanks pigwater! Iā€™ve actually seen some of your work here on the forum and think itā€™s really original. I love the presentation style. :slight_smile:

And yeah, my modeling tends to stay pretty clean at first, but hopefully Iā€™ll break out of my shell and get some randomization and additional visual interest by making it more realistically ā€œuncleanā€. I think textures would really helpā€¦once I get there.

#31

thatā€™s what i like most about it ā€¦ tight clean, sharp ā€¦ itā€™s nice to see ā€¦ funny yah , how were our own worst critics

enjoyable stuff ya got :thumbsup:

#32

nice use of actual whale anatomy for your Wail!..very clever. looking forward to seeing the whole thing modeledā€¦keep us posted on the little detailsā€¦

#33

cool idea :slight_smile:
Nothing much to crit so farā€¦all looks good.
I love the idea of a walking whaleā€¦pretty original
Keept at it dude :slight_smile:

#34

Looks good!
Keep going, I think that youā€™ve got a great start.
My suggestion is to make the tongue a bit thicker, with bumps on the sidesā€¦

#35

Just a quick update. Low quality render, but I wanted to show what Iā€™ve been working onā€¦Iā€™m detailing out the front monitor area and getting all the intersections of the major componenets to line up now.

#36

thanks rhezz and tedjel. I appreciate your comments! Good crit on the tongue, too. Hope yallā€™s challenge is going well. Iā€™ll visit soon. :slight_smile:

#37

nice update, looks like the details are starting to come to lightā€¦keep goin, i wanna see one of those arms!!

#38

Beautiful face! I love the style!:thumbsup:

#39

Great modelā€¦ I like itā€¦ It seem sympathicā€¦ strange for a monsterā€¦

ā€¦Then, good continuationā€¦ and sure, I want to see more :thumbsup:

#40

Heā€™ll look more fierce once I complete the model and posing, plus the textures and lighting will help I think. Hopefully, that will lend itself to a less sympathetic creature. Thanks for the comments!
