Looks great…could you possible give him some sort of weapon…:shrug: my brain is mush right now so you’ll have to forgive me for my lack of creativity…hehe…texturing is pretty hard for me…trying different things…hope your’s goes smoothly…:thumbsup:

Thats great Dirk! I love those horns, very unique. I don’t know if funny is what you are going for, but I think more extreme differences in the 3 gobbies would be more interesting. Make the one on the left super lanky and tall, and the one on the right much much fatter. Maybe they could have cogs around their ankles or wrists and necklaces made with sprockets!

Remi Thanks dude! My brain is mush as well, we’ll see If I can pull something out of my as… err, brain :stuck_out_tongue: Texturing is one of my weaknesses as well.

Rye Thanks for the kind words! Not sure If I’ll have time but i’ll definately try it if the opportunity arises.

Alright folks, I’m still alive. However now that I am employed, the progress will definately take a hit. I’m sure you’re all devastated :wink:

My goal is to at least get fatty here textured, started unwrapping today, heres proof.

Damn, too long since I’ve updated…textures never really got off the ground. Its sad really, it’s what is forcing me to call my entry a failure in its own right. Oh well, there’s always next time…right King…you better finish :stuck_out_tongue: , or the spankings commence. As usual, I got way ahead of myself…

But here’s what I call “Done”

Thanks to all who gave me great support on this one, hopefully see you all next time!

This is far from a failure.Quite the opposite.It’s too bad you did’nt have all the time needed to get this to the finish line.

            But what you do have is quite inventive.It shows me originality and a good overall [b]vision[/b].I can really see where you were headed with this. It's a shame time always gets in the way. You should have seen my visions for this challenge,it would have been really entertaining and fun,but time and a personal project interupted my visions for this challenge as well.

            Overall I still think you showed alot,and did put together quite abit.Oh no it's far from a failure......it's a WIP with alot of potential in my eyes. Overall I still give you :thumbsup: :thumbsup: two thumbs up.....I hope you still get more on it done in the future on the side,it would be worth it.In-depth texturing and more polish would really show up nicely with this.

           See you soon Dirk.......fine job.:thumbsup: :beer:
