Hey, I like the new render. The arms and legs and that tree on his shoulder are looking good. Are you going to make his hips more uneven/rocky?

thats real koo mob.
I think you should re-work the pelvis area… maybe give him a phallic rock pee pee.
the shoulder/head/torso area is so cool, as is the lighting and shading.

Looks awesome! I like the rock idea. On the textures you could put little inclusions of crystal here and there that catch the light. Who knows you could have little creatures that live in caves on him as well! “Man I got the worse case of the cavemen! It itches like crazy!” Hehe

hey guys, small update, was playing with the textures on this thing…cause i suck at texturing, and thought I would post the results.
here is just the head so far. Let me know what you think.
I am worried about making sure that he is identifiable and doesn’t look like a big turd monster 
making rock creatures is tougher than I thought!

Nah, that’s not looking too bad!
You are using photos though, aren’t you? Looks like you may have some conflicting lighting information…

thanks Leigh, any tips on texturing rock would be greatly appreciated…i have done very little with texturing! (your elf wraith looks amazing to , but i didn’t want to add more praise to your thread… just know I think it rocks)
anyways, as for the shadow info yeah I agree, esp the lower jaw part, I am painting these by hand (with a light texture of rock bump on multiply in photoshop, but that not what casting the pseudo shadows, that just soemthing i was playing with for different rock level, but forgot to take it off…iff i keep it i need to actually do that to the mesh, otherwise it looks like an innacurate shadow.
Remi : thanks man, that all I want…for it to look like a rock beast hehe. Love the hobbit pet to…cutest entry by far!
Ill post more soon!
thanks again guys!

It’s looking quite good so far. The base colors are great for stone, for when I look at it, I know immediatly that’s it’s a stone creature. Just needs alot more bump maps, exspecially around the mouth area. You need to crack up those lips into side by side boulders.
Keep it up:wip: :wip: Can’t wait to see more!

Apt Pupil:
I love the idea of the boulders ont he lips, But im gonna do you one better than displacement. Im modeling em. They looked so bland before. I think this will add a little life to em, thanks for the feedback man!
