Races of Middle Earth - Character - Erilaz

Back at it!
I’ve elongated the torso more, to adjust to the balance of the body, plus I’ve added some neck tendons and the general area of the wings (That’s what those bumps are!)

I’ve got lots to do yet!:wip:

#60

Gets nicer with every update:thumbsup:

Are U sure U don’t want to give him long tail? It would fit his long neck, wings and this strange four things around his head;)

#61

I like the longer body, definitely the way to go.

#62

Nice model :):applause:

#63

Thanks guys. Azazel, I don’t want to give him a tail, cause it would go with what I’m trying to achieve.:slight_smile:

Little work on the eye. Trying to get a good look for it. WIP remember, WIP!:wip:

#64

The motivation factor is low at the moment. I’m hacking away, so i’ll have something out this week! Lots to add.

Oh, and I’m not doing wings anymore! Design change.:smiley:

#65

:wip: :wip:

:wavey:

#66

First pics were ehm … first pics:)

Now he looks really good. And angry. thiis lidless eye :slight_smile:

Keep it on.

#67

keep going Erilaz,you always come through in the end.I think the foundation is there,just keep detailing it out and you will have what you invisioned in no time at all. Hey what happened to your wings idea? Did you get another idea for this beast?

           See you after another update......Keep :wip: :wip: :beer:
#68

Thanks for the mental boosters guys. I’m a little tired right now.
Virtuoso: The wings were initially planned, but I’m working out another idea. It will be funky, I hope.

Well, It’s been a long time, and here’s a little update. Still shaping the head and eye area (I’m working right now on making the lips look good). You can see at the back there some fleshy-spikey things on his back. More on those later.

Texturing will have to start soon, cause I’m running out of time!!:hmm:

#69

woah u have improved greatly erilaz!!! keep up good work

#70

Wheee! I’m motivated!!! (Even when I’ve got Icewind Dale 2 sitting here staring at me).

Here’s some detail on the head. You can see there’s some ickiness I’ve got to clean up around the mouth.

I’ll be trying to get modelling out of the way this week so I can get down to texturing.

On I go…:wip:

#71

ErilazaaaAAARRRRRRR!

Its looking rather tasty.

Suggestion for the wrinkles… make the gaps between them tighter… i.e squish the wrinkles together… make them more rolly too so it gives them some more form. And make them slowly taper off into non-wrinkles. They seem to end rather suddenly atm

keep the shiznit up bastich:beer:

They need a tea icon for erilaz

#72

good stuff eri! come a ways since last I saw him.

Looks like a mean mo fo!

hope you find time to finish this inbetween work, and tea. :thumbsup:

#73

Thanks very much Krugar and King_Mob. You guys are brilliant.:smiley:

Got some good and bad news. :hmm:

The good news is, we’ve just got a heavily experienced modeller in at work to teach me a few tricks. Yay!

The bad news is, he works earlier and leaves a lot later than me, so I can’t transfer my license to home at nights to work on my model.

Booh…

Ah well, I’ll still try and squeeze the challenge in as much as possible, but I don’t think it will now get as far as I wanted.

The upside is I’m picking up some good training!:smiley:

#74

Give him nasty spider fur…shudder…

#75

Hey Erilaz!
That’s a very angry beast you’ve got there, I suppose that’s because you don’t take enough time for it :smiley:
C’mon, we wanna see some textures! :wip:

#76

You’re absolutely right coCoKNIght! But there just isn’t time, unfortunately.:hmm:
I may have to write this one off as another unfinished work at this rate. Sigh…

#77

wow i wanna see that beast textured… did you will finish it?
