lol dimitri !!!

#63

OK… another thread I’ve missed somehow… o_O

This is utterly cool. Such an odd character, and so very cleanly executed. The closest thing that comes to mind is some sort of huge mech-powered slug… :smiley:

Ah, well, brilliant stuff.

#64

YES! A mechanical slug to be a tank like addition to this wail attack. Very cool idea. Thanks for not hating my concept! :wip:

#65

Hey Sandpiper! This is my 1st time on your entry. Your last update caught my eye, I’d never seen it before (sorry, it’s so crowded in here).
I won’t read the 5 pages before tomorrow, but be sure I will!
I really like your work on the flesh folds and sharp details on mechanical parts.

Very cool entry indeed! I’ll be back!
:applause:

kmest: thanks for the comments…hopefully as I go along in this challenge, the wail will become less friendly, approachable, and most of all, huggable. :slight_smile:

Frood: I’m glad you like the flesh folds. I hope to make more in other places, but not too much…thanks for taking a look. :thumbsup:

#68

Hey Sandpiper… sweet concept man … cant belive i missed your entry… anyways… your modelling looks really clean and i love you’re way of detailing things .the mechanics seam to meld perfectly with your character… cant wait to see more sweet eyecandy… cheers PFB

#69

I think now, I find its neck much better, almost true and reel. :applause:

It makes me think a little of a big pokémon, it’s not a crit, I adore the pokémon :smiley:

and cheer for all the details which are added, looks great !

#70

Hello Sandpiper , first post here in your thread , sorry i miss it, your concept is quite original , i really like your char , and all the details that you are putting in his body are looking very nice.

Keep the good work , i will follow closely your project:thumbsup:

#71

Hi, Sandpiper, you are creating nice and stylish character!
I have a visit of you web, very impressive works there!
keep the great entry! :buttrock:

#72

—ParadiseFlyBird: Thanks for the kind words. I hope to stay true to my concept and keep the mechanics very much part of the character. :smiley:

—Lemog: hehe, pokemon eh? well, we can’t have that can we! :slight_smile: I plan on working on his head a bit more to solve some of this cuteness issue, but right now I need to hit the rest of the model. Thanks for your comments!

—adr and deepforest: thanks for dropping in! Glad you like.

Just to let everyone know, after I finished some minor modeling on the belly area, I’m now working on the arm modeling. Hope to update sometime this weekend maybe. Unfortunately, I only have time to work on this a couple hours a day at most…sucks, because I’m kinda behind! :rolleyes:

#73

Worked on his head some so he would look less “Pokemon” like and a bit more threatening. Texturing will play a large part in the emotion as well.

#74

Started working on the arms too. The forearm is still in simple form right now since I’m working from top to bottom. Getting the muscles to work around the rotator for the elbow was tricky because I wanted the muscles to still look like they function but not look like he’s on steroids. Crits welcome!

#75

i like your modelling stlye. it has a very friendly cartoony yet real feeling to it…

im keeping my eye on this one :slight_smile:

#76

Very good work, and I swear you a thing, I would not speak more of pokemon hihihihihihihihi :smiley:

On this subject, I’m sure that the textures will give it a very strong personality, stronger than these colors current of modeling :thumbsup:

#77

:smiley: Too funny! I guess you could tell that Pokemon wasn’t what I was going for here. And like you said, texturing will really liven up him up and make him complete as a character.

Currently, I’m working on his hand area where there will be a flamethrower contraption that is located in his palm. It’s his second mode of attack. Hopefully, I’ll be done with modeling by the end of April. :surprised

#78

Still working on these pesky hands. I’m not totally sold on the proportions and/or design of them though. There will be more detail added too, just haven’t gotten that far yet. Comments/crits very welcome!

#79

update on the hands…more tense. Each arm will be posed separately later on. On to the flame thrower/acid emitter palm mechanics! (underneath where his palm would be…)

#80

Here’s what his secondary weapon looks like. It’s located in his palm. I’m not sure if it will spray fire, acid, or something electrical. In the mean time, I’ll work on the rest of the model. Comments/crits are always welcome. :slight_smile:
