B-Movie Entry: Elvis Au

Latest Update: Work In Progress: more wip

#2

just gathering some reference: florists and earthworms…

#3

The florist is a giant gentle humanoid earthworm that cultivates a special type of flower that sprouts from roots that look like people??

#4

and the Terrarium is where these flowers with roots that look like people are cultivated. An entire city (upsidedown) filled with unknowing people live their lives normally until the day they’re plucked through the ground and are sold in bunches.

#5

It’s terrible I’ve let this thread languish so here’s some new stuff. I’ve modeled some of the props: various pots and vases and the start of the terrarium which is going to be filled with flowers on top at some point… which means I need to make some flowers… lots more to model.

#6

Beginning to model one of the main characters. Only got as far as his head and his shirt. He’s going to need arms and legs… I showed this to a couple of people and they’re wondering why an earthworm needs arms and legs.

#7

Built out the rest of his body - need to sketch in some details. I think he looks like a slightly paunchy middle-aged earthworm florist. Have to start modeling flowers and other props soon!

#8

Ha nice idea and nice sculpt

#9

akacg: thanks for stopping by!

Added some more detail - gave him some eyes and a little mouth. He’s got these really gnarly hands.

#10

lol nice model man, hes coming along great

#11

it’s evolution looks good!

#12

You have a wild imagination, my friend (which is great:bounce::thumbsup:) Your idea would work well as a video entry, too!
I really like the modeling, aswell! Keep going!

#13

haha, character is both cute and disgusting … just like real worms :slight_smile:

love the human-farm too, great creativity.

#14

headsmell, whitemagus, peterpuppet, axiomatic: thanks for the kind words! I’m doing my best trying to get everything modeled quickly.

I’ve moved on from the florist - here’s the beginning of the little grub girl - she has arms and legs too… After her, i’m going to focus on making some flowers.

#15

starting to get grub girl closer to what i think she looks like - she’s squat, chubby, has triple huge eyes, and a cute little mouth.

#16

Hey Elvis,

Nice concept and cool models so far, like a lot the designs on your characters, really great style.
Looking forward for more updates. Cheers!! :beer:

#17

Ferx: thanks for the comments - I’m glad you like the style so far!

here is grub girl. I worked on refining details all over her. I’m pretty happy with where she’s at right now. I think I’ll leave her like this while I move on to the other parts of this madness.

#18

Wow! I really love the idea. Combination of a girl and a worm is great :slight_smile: It fits perfectly to b-movies style. Can’t wait to see some uptades…

#19

I love your character models - they look fantastic! :thumbsup:

#20

finished most of the major modelling. This isn’t the final camera viewpoint. Exported all the low-res base meshes out of zbrush into maya to start composing the image. Going to start to rough in some lights and textures.
