OK a bit on the pre visualization. i had an idea to do a take on bug Eyed monsters from Space they want our women. But I took a different take the women like them due to a super strong pheromone that takes over the will of those women who smell them.
I did the drawing a quick sketch with a good amount of fun and then my 5 year old daughter took it and drew eyes on my eyes which actually makes it look better makes them a bit more sympathetic so I am going with that.
Instead of a global menace these aliens menace a local diner and the high school kids who go there.

Just starting modeling and getting a feel for the Neptunian Lothario. I plan on rigging him and making a few morph targets to have more flexibility on the final image.

A render to show him off I still want to go over him again then make shader zones and apply shaders rig him and then make a morph target or two.

Did some work on shaders and texture maps. I did most of the work with shaders used texture maps on the mustache and the iris of the eyes. Still have to work on some shaders for the body and then on to rigging and morph targets.

Well got a few morph targets on him and they can be combined to make him a bit more expressive.
A bit about the inspiration. I wanted to go with the direction of the moon men from Ray Harryhausen and then went a bit different direction. they eyes within the insect eyes are what my 5 year old daughter drew on my concept art so I went with it gives it extra cheese.
I am going a bit of a different direction not so much a horror movie. Here is the inspiration for the challenge. [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b56/sinodude/pic309654_md.jpg[/IMG]
I went with a different take going for a bit of the I was a teenage werewolf and some other flics the Women want the Bug eyed monsters and they are causing problems in high school. Hence he has a nice tie on i will give him a few more things like a pinky ring to make for his look. For those who want to know a lothario is a man who seduces women.

Got the dude rigged and now it is time for the other characters. Still unsure if I want to start new base meshes or just take a few older ones I have doen in the past and clean them up and get them ready.

Still need to dig in on this she will be clothed once done but everything is being done old skool all boxmodeling in wings. I do need to touch up on her some more. I am going for an exaggerated look like a girl you would see in films like Shaft getting a bit of the look of Tamara Dobson.

thanks for the comments had to go for a different angle so i went with a Salvadore Dali style moustache. Looking at some reference I need to get a bigger fro on her to really get it more in line with my vision. I do need to dig into the geometry a bit more. Any suggestions would be appreciated i need to get back to work on this Good luck everyone and I hope to see a lot of cool entries.

Well got some work done on the first girl made a few morph targets for her and clothed her. I got some rigging to do yet to get her able to pose but having some expressive morph targets is always a plus. Each one can be combined with the others and they can go to negative values and go beyond normal morphs.

CSmallfield thanks i thought that the mustache was a cool hook.
Danko Well he is classy after all he is a ladies man, or bug.
Raulbajaro I think the mustache and the weird eye within and eye is the twist. My 5 year old daughter drew the eye on the drawing so i had to go with it.
Rageof Ages I always thought that was a silly idea it is actually a game. (never played it) But in this case he is found desirable by the women.
Yongkiat I had a moment of inspiration and wanted to go funny rather than scary.

Gotta rig on the girl with some morph targets.Looks better from some angles than others not going fr realism but want it to be good.

Intentional mispelling there are a number of Diners in my hometown with the name spelled Dinor so this one fits the bill small cheap greasy spoon.This is just going to be in the backdrop. Reworking the flygirl and working on another girl those will come up in updates soon real life gets in the way at times.

Well reworked the girl a lot changed clothes and tweaked a lot of geometry re rigged and made new morph targets for her. Will have an additional girl after all he is a Lothario. Will do a few layers to make a poster.
