Weakules

[DM]

To have a break from the more complicated stuff, I thought I would have a fool around with something quick. When I was in my teens I used to like drawing mock film posters that’s when Weakules got invented. Those were great films, Weakules and Weakules Unveiled, starring Peeved Leeves and co-starring Miss Golden Syrup 1908. They contained amazing scenes, Weakules fighting the Minotaur which was defeated in only a minute or two, he was quite a hero. The image depicts Weakules coming face to face with the dreaded Phrygian Squirrel.
It’s all Z apart from a little post-work in PSP, and the plant’s which are from the freebie program Plant Studio, I’ve had it a few months now, so I felt I should do something with it.

Thanks for your comment's folks and yes I think the squirrel stands the best chance, there is more meat on him. For anybody interested in the figure parts I have put the following image on. The head was made out of a standard sphere not a Zsphere.

Exceptional modelling Dave, thanks for showing your modelling bits n' pieces.
The behemoths over on Robotalks thread could do with a beating from that fella lol. :cool: :tu: :tu: :tu:

Dave, thanks for posting the ZSpheres... :tu:
I love to see how people put these together, and the efficient use and method you show is a great example to me. I especially like the 'body' ZSphere tool which is demonstrative of a very high-level efficiency to me! I appreciate your modelling even more seeing these... :cool:

Thanks for the comments everyone, I had forgotten to put the sections on initially. I always find it helpful when others include the original files, as sometimes they have a better way of producing the shape than mine. After texturing details can sometimes be obscured.

Dave, sorry for the belated comments...I have looked at this fellow several times and thought I had commented.....Looks like the zifs are not giving you any problems at all....you are clearly demonstrating yer mastery of the new tool. Thanks also for the reference guide to the creation of this whimsical piece. I appreciate the shared knowledge. And finally, I dont know what prompted this piece but it cracked me up when I saw the name. I thought how original. A great companion piece to your Hercules rendering...I can't wait to see where you go next. And as always I love your attention to detail in your models. Keep up the great work my friend. :tu: :tu: :tu:

Thanks Ron, I'm having trouble keeping tabs on all the images coming on the forum at the moment. 1.5 sure has got things moving and I'm not sure what I've looked at when I visit the forum. :tu: :tu: :tu:
