Instead of modelling the “Vendiir” [or the moose as bluecougar here calls it]…I am modelling the Munro…here is the character’s backstory…
The Munro, a race created by Tulkas the Valar to amuse him with contests of strength. A nomadic race that has been witnessed in the steep foothills and highlands of Middle Earth to the peaks of the Misty Mountain itself. A hearty and powerhouse of a creature with average intelligence, standing 8 feet tall, the Munro appear to be some kind of kilted, Bison-Bear-Man hybrid, bred purely for stalwartness. The Munro are a peaceful race until provoked, then with the might of 100 men the toss their hammers into battle, weilding large Claymores halving enemies in a blink of an eye.
the reason I am not modelling the Vendiir is due to the animation challenge…I am going to do an animation with this character, so I thought why not kill 2 birds with one stone…the only drawback is that I an modelling this creature to roughly fit an existing skeleton/rig [though I am sure I will vastly change the proportions :)]
without further procrastination [hey work has been keeping me busy ;)] here is the first pass at ROUGH geometry, minus the head, kilt, weapon, etc…
noted changes:
I am changing the feet [I hate them right now], changing the hands a bit to make em meatier…gonna make him more sturdy and have a higher body fat index…oh, and nipples too…

comments and crits welcome as always…
