Ahaha, sweet as, this sounds like a great idea cant wait for more

[threetails]

here is an update, built the axe using mesh extration after masking the profile on a 3d plane, using deformation, masks and the layer brush to work some forms in.
still lots to do but its been fun so far.

Here is a test composite with cs2, of the big bad and weavel. I still have alot of work to do with the lighting and some materials, as well as some tweeks for perspective, pose, color and stuff, all renders in ZB3.1 I havent had time to post a process yet, but I will soon.

Wow, looks pretty sweet, just some crit, to me i feel there is too much motion blur/depth of field on the eyes, maybe make some of the outer ones blurred while the inner are still and focussed? just my op , love the lips and chin, also the texture too

.... very Fun!

Wow! This looks amazing! can't wait to see the final render!

[Marsyas]

Ha! Love the tentacle-eyed monster.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad that you like it. I have added a few new elements to the image to help sell the the idea, without having a caption on the bottom of the page. Made changes to the facial expressions and body postioins and I will be posting one more test, and then the final before the deadline. To be honest, this is one of just a few images that I have ever taken to completion. I am by nature, a serial "Idea-ist" and after getting them on a page to document them It takes alot to go back and finish. If nothing else, this contest has helped to break a barrier i've struggled with for along time, the one hiding the finish line.

Hey threetails, im in the same boat, i think this might be my first ever final composition too, , got a few days left, i have a tonne of work to do still

[threetails]

XSI Apprentice, i'm just about done as well. Here is the latest test render with all the elements added, lights, new expressions and comp. I will be posting the final in the next few days.

This really is a great Idea, I hope it pays off!

[threetails]

Me too. I'm just putting together some of the progress shots and images to post up next. Be seeing them tommorow.
