Whaoow!!

The rendering of the dog !!!
Amazing !

i’ve just some crits:
it’s about the size of the pipes… with pipes which have so hudge size i’m
wondering where the cylinder of
explosion engine is hidden…

Perhaps i 'll had some flesh in the
transition of the body between fur of the dog and the mecha part , actually it seems
to much slice cutted like the dog were
only a mechanic dog and not a real one
modified.

I love dogs and this one is especially nice, looks like the real one with is sad expression :hmm:

Mapping is also great.

Are you going to use some kind of Fur for this dog?

#50

#52

Yeah, that’s my favourite work

#53

Nice concept , great skill .
:surprised

#54

great stuff man.love it deputy dogg.:thumbsup:

#55

Thanks again for all of the replies. You guys sure are nice.

Grorum: Thanks man. I was thinking about using a fur tool for this but since it is going to only be a still image I didn’t feel like going through all of the work to make something look pretty much the same when I am done. If I was going to animate this then I would hHAVE to use fur. THANKS for the comps!!

harnelbe: Good point about the engine. I had not thought of that. Ill see what I can come up with in the concept sketch. Love your drawing in your machineflesh challenge! :eek:

:bounce: :applause: This one really made me smile…very sweet idea…i will wait for your final image…:beer:

#57

oohh!, this is very funny, i really like the idea, very original i think, good texturing on the dog man!:thumbsup: ill be waiting for next update.
i agree with harnelbe, think that you shoul do something on the machine-dog transition, good luck on your next steps

#58

great piece … curious to see how your gonna blend the textures where dog ends and mech starts … enjoying it big time

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice job on the textures, you really feel the folds in the skin -it has a nice weight to it.

CONCEPT milestone = You have to submit your concept/s.

ahhh…yeah. I know that already. Im working on it. Did a lot of my concept in 3d. Its how I work. Will be posting a 2D concept soon. Read my previous post.

#62

Here is a start on the concept. Focusing on the back of the dog and how it is going to tie into the flesh part of the dog. I have to be careful with this because I still want this image to be funny and not gross. So I have an engine under glass like a ferrari 360. With wire coming out and into the dog. Also pipes that will be running up to the front of the dogs chest.

#63

This is a wicked idea, i really like it :wink:

how are you going to do the fur?

#64

:bounce: I like the 360 Modena idea!

#65

WOW! Dogcycle! Really cool idea!!!

ok bill, eileen and i looked at it again and although i must say you’ve done a fantastic job with the photo texture, we are not sure that it is the best route to go with this little guy. eileen said that she liked it before… now it’s getting a little freaky and isn’t as cute.

it might be cool if it was more toy like, as eileen said, “like my little pony!”… because it’s plastic and colored.

just a thought… if you continue with the super realistic look it could come together, but seeing as how this guy is turning into more of a lighthearted character, a distinctive style might keep it from being, as you said, gross.

still, it’s awesome… keep going, keep going!
