Could be a great image only thing I would steer clear of is anything that could make it look Pirates of the Car. esque just my opinion ;)

[reminator]

quick first pass at the Pumpktopus.

mixed shaders for fun :)

I'll change the left side of the pumpkin, it's not heavy enough.

love the water tower idea!

[dustbin1_uk]

That is a great idea! Great work so far!

[Rory_L]

Great idea and lovely sketch!

I prefer the coloured sketch oc's shape to the model's. The forehead slopes up into the pumpkin more appealingly.

Cheers,

Rheh, good point. Thanks for the fresh eyes :)

Great creature Remi! The model is progressing along nicley and the concept of him attacking has brought everything together.

Regarding the color comp, you might think about making all of him orange like the pumpkin with some off color spots. Just a thought to enforce the idea that the pumpkin is part of him. Great work.

[ThaoLe]

heehhe. this is cute.. i love it..

[animastur]

I like very much the style and originality of the draw.
Good modeling work also! :) :tu:

[-WOODY-]

Looks pretty cool. The modeling of the bent and crumbling tower is very well done too.
I'm also curious as to why it's mad as well.

"don't go stealin' my babies!!"

[Disco Stu]

i like it a lot is theree ome texturing to come?

[SonOfRichard]

[reminator]

octopus_col_01.jpg
there is a color version, but I am afraid I will not have the time to complete the whole piece...
so bronze it is for now.

[Disco Stu]

i also prefer the bronze render. it will be ahrd to win without texture bu still it looks great

[piz]

Cool reminator! I love your Huge Creature! ;) :tu:

Done! Thanks for the comments!
Well, that was my first zbrushing and I've learn a LOT. I have been standing on that fence for too long and 3.1 is perfect for me. Zbrush is a bit less scary now, I have started to tame the beast :)

I am tired and I need to move on to something else, I want to learn more :P
See you all soon!

[Seavannah]

really cool image. love the idea of it. very orginal

[Rory_L]

Congratulations! A good, solid image. Probably has more impact than a coloured version would have had, too.

This is an original concept and is done with clearly alot of talent. Shame you could not finish in colour, but I don't think it matters as this is still a wonderful entry. Well done! :D:tu:

[sasquatchpoacher]

Name plate is a nice touch. Great work Remi!
