Nice manimal, reminds me of The Island of Dr. Moreau which I caught part of a couple weeks ago.

[punchatz]

A little tighter wrinkles and a QUICK PS paint over to add the color, eyes and horns. I like to work in a non linear fashion when designing, that's why I throw these temp photoshop paint overs on. Just to get an idea what this thing will look like when I add the horns and texture later. More to come tomorrow.


That's all for now (trying to prevent carpal tunnel)

OK really last post of the day, Heres what he might look like with hair (which I will later do in XSI)



Greg

A first look in XSI. There is absolutely no high frequency detail yet, still working on form and the like. I like to go back and forth between XSI, PS and Zbrush, doing this give me a fresh perspective during the design process.

I think it looks great so far. Keep it up. What eyes did you decide on?

With the hair it reminds me of Ernest Borgnine from a old movie.....

Thanks all,
There is a little "Devils Rain" (the Ernest Borgnine movie) and "Island of Dr Moreau" in him for sure. Those great make ups still infulence my design work to this day.

I had no t seen the make up in years so when you mentioned it I had to look it up.


Once the coffee soaks in I will start the detail process this morning.

love it i like the white eye it looks so real

[punchatz]

I did not get that much done today, but I did get to help out a new Zbrusher (Good hanging out with you Kerry!).

I got a little detail work done on the face. This render is from XSI, I generate displacement maps as I go just and render in XSI to see how the detail is transferring. This also gives me a new "eye" on the sculpt.

This is just a START to the details and it has no real texture maps yet. I just used a generic map that I have to add some color to the Sub Surface shader.





I hope to work more on it this week but I have to get a presentation ready for Siggraph this is more fun. It may be a couple of weeks before I update
