Races of Middle Earth - Character - Dirk P Ho

#1

Got an Idea, hope it pans out.

Should be fun!

#2

The Gobutecs

Miniature Goblin Theives that use their loot to build various vehicles/structures.

Hope this isnt too “advanced” or “toony” for middle earth, I only know of the story from the films.

Ill have to look into maps and location descriptions to figure out where in Middle Earth they dwell. Hopefully some Tolkien experts will have some insight.

#3

Hmm, im starting to hate the goblin thing, so overdone…ill rework the miniature crature.

Any comments on the beliveability of this in the LOTR universe??? I don’t wanna continue if it doesn’t make sense.

#4

i love the barrel robot idea, make it really clunky that will be cool. and controleld by petals, ropes and and such

lgood luck this time man, im gonna finish i swear!

#5

STRANGE…not very tolkienish…but really good! so original…yes i like it.

#6

Alright, whats with me and reworking my challenges so much?? :slight_smile:

Heres a change on the creature piloting the contraption, gotta work on a different name.

Comments welcome…

#7

Whoo, this is fun!

#8

Thanks for the comment -OZ-, greatly appreciated

Hopefully I can find a way to “Tolkien” this up :stuck_out_tongue:

#9

hmmm…little creatures…Maybe a variation on the “Brownie”…they get into mad mischief…and such…

well, I looked for some pictures…but if you remember the movie Willow…the 2 little brownies…with their magic love dust etc…

anyway, just a thought

#10

“I stole dee baby!!!” hehe… good movie Willow.

I like the brownie idea… maybe make it 2 or 3 controlling it. It looks a bit big for just 1 to beable to control by itself ya know?

#11

thanks for the comments Projectkmo and The Residual. I’ll check those guys out

#12

Great idea…very funny…i would just make the outer shell made from odd objects rather than having them all be made of wood or something…does that make sense? Keep going:thumbsup:

#13

i agree, a more organic, put together out of any old junk salvaged look would be really cool, and would mean that each of the “robots” would look completely different. that’s a great concept though, so keep going :slight_smile:

#14

Hi Dirk…Nice to see you again. I like the concepts. I think my only suggestion I can give with any merit at this point is that I think you should give your creation a more organic look. I think that gadgets could be the enhancements to a organic body. That would be more fitting within the Tolkian universe. Just a thought.

             Well keep going Dirk,it's certantly got potential at this point already.:beer:
#15

Wow, thanks for the great comments guys, yeah I was just thinking its too generic/clean/symmetrical to have it all barrels. Ill definately have to mix it up a bit.

What a fun challenge

#16

Currently “Junking Up” the main body. going to re-work the arms. They probably wont be made of barrels.

#17

Worked on the head area for the last bit, the cockpit area has been sectioned off inside the head.
Comments as always are welcome.

#18

looking cool man, you gonna have lot of exposed gear etc on this?

i dig it man keep up the good work!

#19

I was thinking exposed gears and such but thats probably too advanced for middle earth, probably pulleys and such…man, that would be murder to rig…oh well, we’ll see

#20

what about some sort of large creature, encased in the barrels, being controlled by your little goblins through it? Like a remote control monster. :slight_smile:
