Races of Middle Earth - character - MrMARK!


#1

new challenge!! finally yay!!!
i am gonna work my arse off on this one!!
here is a nice way of spending the holidays!!!

i wil create something very tolkien like, so that it fits in with the whole story :):bounce: :bounce:


#2

well… i orginally intended to do something like king_mobs rock ent, but it seems a large string of those have popped up like mcdonalds restaurants, so i will pull a dante and make a contrapasso

a rock eating creature

it is a friendly creautre
lives in the mountains
detailed storyline later


#3

hey it can live off of my creatures! hehe


#4

lol! maybe we should do a collaborative final image!! haha


#5

Very cool concept idea.
The Rock-Ent idea came into everyones mind at least once eh?
Glad to see someone going against the grain, and feeding off that in a more original way!

Show us some sketches!

lol… maybe, perhaps it would be cool to get several of the creatures in the challenege all into on collaborative final image (as well as our own thread final images).

might be cool sometime (mods are you listening) to let one challenge lead into another some time, like one month, model, next texture, next animate! and anyone can take any model from the previous month to do their work… one huge collaboration!

anyhow, mebbs we should try and work out some linked mythology between our characters?


#7

sounds like a plan mdme sadie

iwill post the draft of my story tonite, and then change it accordingly :slight_smile:


#8

concept one
the muscles will work for the arms… as they have to lift heavy rock salads, but i feel that the abs dont suit him as he eats lots of rock salads, which cant be too speedy in the digestive system.

will post concept 2 - infinity later on

The story:
These guys live in the mountains of middle earth and many variations are scattered throughout the realm. they are generally docile and friendly creatures, who just like to have a nice full stomach :slight_smile: they are generally cumbersome but can pick up quite some speed with time, they also tend to share the same traits as the ents, staying out of other races business unless matters become too much…

Hehehe that one sketch looks a little bit like a ninja turtle :smiley:

Cool concept though! Do you remember the rock biter in Neverending Story? That was a very cool creature! He was also a friendly creature :slight_smile:

If you want, I have the DVD of that film, and I could send you some pics of him if you need any rock creature references :wink:
