the zebra looks great… you managed to translate everything, from the 2d image to your model, amazingly so far… keep it up

#102

This is fantastic so far and I know it is only going to get better and better as it progresses. I love the teeth :smiley:

#103

Hi guys, here’s an update on the zebra… Problem is, I don’t think this concept is strange enough right now… Any thoughts on this matter?

#104

OMG hillarious Michael! So looking forward to more :bounce:

#105

good luck

cheers

Hello michael. The modeling is growing well.
About your concept well I must say that it isn’t really clear for me. I thin you have to adjust it. The first time I saw the color sketch of the zebra I thought he was “turning” himself on the road to paint his stripes. That could be a strange and funny behavior. After you added some other animals on forground and it wasn’t so clear to me.

I also thought on another idea with the zebra in same pose.It’s again about a zebra (or horse) who wants to have stripes (that he doesn’t have for the moment). He could just sunburn with a fence where its stay only one batten on 2. But what happens ? He start to burn with some smoke starting to appear. Well that’s a little messy but there could be something to do with it.
Anyway your character is really great and that would be a pity not to use it.

hi ,

the character is coming out very well…
best of luck .

cheers

#108

Really nice character micheal, :thumbsup:

Btw I didn’t undrestand the concept truly also and I thought it’s for my poor english! but anyway I suggest to use zebra on it anyway!
for example I’ll say some prehistoric ppls use zebra as ball for football cause his stripes becomed like a ball on bottom! And some one wants shoot him at the momment!! :smiley:

Wish you Best lucks,
mim,

Hey Michael!!! good work…

Look, as far as i understand you are going to include the lions waiting in the background for lunch, and the prairie dogs are gonna be the ones doing the dirty job, right? so i think that if you show them in the picture clearly… (the dogs closer to the zebra, with evil expression, still holding ropes and a hammer and maybe doing an"all OK" sign to the lions back there, and of course the lions smacking their mouths in yummy spectation) it will read as a really strange jungle mafia story, and it’s gonna rock, i’m sure!!:smiley:

Keep the good work.

Hey! what happened with the big poping right eye, i liked it a lot!!

#110

This is exactly what I had in mind, when I came up with the sketch. Been working on it for a while now, and I got bored (it happens so fast you know). Yep, the eye is still coming, but I’m doing symmetry modeling first, and later on I’ll pose it whit the right details…

Thanx for the support guys! Appreciate it!

#111

Cool modeling Michael !
Did I dream or I saw that you entered the animation challenge ?

#112

First of all, the zebra is looking amazing… As for strangeness, i think your idea is very good, but if you wanted, you could add a horny pervert bull (or human) going for the zebra and the zebra being more afraid of him than both the raging bulls and the lions together… yep… i have a perverted mind… but wouldn’t THAT be strange enough?:scream:

have fun,
George

#113

Great modeling Michael, very impressive. :thumbsup:

#114

Hi Michael
Great as always :bowdown:
I’m impresd by zebra… great concept :applause:
good luck

#115

HAhaha, that’s my favorite zebra Michael!!!

Yap, indeed even if icedeyes is a bit perverted,…LOLLLL:D:D(kiss icedeyes!)Could be a cool idea indeed to have something in the pic that should’nt really scare him normally and that maybe gives us the feeling he has totally forgotten about the lions and bulls,etc.
Anyway love your style!(ouwe)LOLLLL

#116

First of all, the zebra looks excellent. I really love it. :bounce:

As for the concept the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the concept was, that some small creatures (bugs or so) use the zebra as “zebra crossing” on a busy road while larger animals are waiting till the bugs have crossed the road.

#117

Hey another dutch guy! ;), Very nice sketches michael, they look very loose and your lineweights are very good. Your zebra has a lot of characther with a great expression. I think your subject is strange enough, but i only knew what was going on in the picture when i read your story. Using a zebrahorse as a real zebra is a hilarious idea. But i dont really see the connection between the lions and the tied up zebra in the picture. Maybe you could add a dog in the foreground who is busy with tieing the zebra to the road and maybe make the lions is a more approching movement to the zebra so the message gets more clear. Hope my two cents of advice will help you:) Good luck, and keep up the great work
