Races Of Middle Earth - Character - Wiro

#1

Oooookayz…here’s my entry. I pray to the elders that I finish this time…

[edit: latest update]

Little is known of this race and few have seen them but they do exist, the smorks! Sauron use these little creatures, distant relatives of orcs as spies in the depths of Moria since he does not always trust his orc minions. They are quick on their feet, very stealthy and have an amazing sight in darkness due to their highly lightsensitive eyes. Many an orc and dwarf has been found poisoned to death in side corridors where they probably stepped on these little critters, drawing lethal fluids from the many spikes on their armor.

This is a really rough and crappy Photoshop sketch…I only knew I wanted a creature with large eyes that might remind a bit of Gollum (the both live in darkness after all) but much thinner, smaller and armored…it’ll probably evolve from this sketch during modelling. The model will sport more stuff like a dagger, more pouches etc. as well.

Well, on with it! :smiley:

[addition]: Sheep Factory is creating the smork’s nemesis…UG the smorkstomper!

Wiro is in , wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :beer:

I was just getting ready to bug you again to join than i saw your entry :smiley:

good luck with modelling man.

#3

Yeeees, Wiro’s in too! Now somebody call Matt Clark :slight_smile:

Nice concept there… my only question is, how can anyone be thinner than Gollum? :slight_smile:

An idea: for the really dark areas, it should use it’s other senses too. Namely, hearing and touching - so give him even bigger bat-like ears and large, sensitive fingertips!

Oh god, tell me this isn’t true, if this is like you say a really rough and crappy Photoshop sketch then don’t wanna see what’s to come. I’m gonna jump out from the window! :insane: Wait, it’s only half a meter to the ground… hmmm… I am trying now for hours to make a decent sketch but I don’t even have yet a concrete idea… :sad:
Well, anyway, your sketch rocks :buttrock:, the story is cool… but, HA! Your homepage wasn’t updated since 22.10.02! I hope you’ll show us soon what you were doing all the time! Oh, and yeah, this time finish the model! :wip:

Great concept, I like it.

As I see, definitely this challenge will be the best in this year.

#14

WOOOOHOOOOO!! Great to see you in on this one, Wiro :bounce:
And what a cool concept too - I know you’re going to make something awesome!!
Looking forward to seeing some more!! :smiley:

#15

Neat idea. I like his scarf, make it pink. :slight_smile:

#16

Sometimes you worry me Bent…hehe I guess it’s ok for a man to show his lighter side though:thumbsup: :smiley:

I like the concept and the drawing…I’m sure you’ll do great in the 3d department Wiro…keep it going…:thumbsup:

#17

YESSSSS…looks like u have a great character here!!! With ur cool style that character will be fantastic in 3d!:bounce: go go go go go go!!

#18

Great to see you will be taking part for this challenge Wiro. It seems that most of the better talent out there are in for this one. Many great pieces of work are about to be born.

               The extra large eyes are both perfect and realistic for a cave dweller of the darker regions, large eyes are a requirement for creatures who can see in the dark.:) 

               It's going to be fun following your progress,very happy to see you in.:thumbsup: :beer:

Arghhh! The pressure!!! Man, so many replies and I’ve not even started yet! revs up 3dsmax

Coco: yeah, it was a quick 15min sketch and compared to some of the really cool entries here (like Bentllama’s) it sucks :smiley:
It took me longer to “shade” it, heh…I’m so rusty in drawing now.
And I can’t update my homepage! For some reason I can’t upload anything…gotta change host.

Laa-Yosh: bigger ears coming up! I like that idea with the senses :wink:
