Soooo...A long ways to go, but It's at least moving in "A" direction...More updates soon...

Character Sheets:

Oww great concepts,love them all

[slocik]

i like this one the best, also since the design you have chosen seems to work better in 2d than as an actuall model, meybe you schould reconsider your choice ;]

[Threefingered]

I suppose I could reconsider and start over, but it might be more fun to prove you wrong...

Thanks for the thoughts! I'll have an update soon...

[Moni-Poroni]

Cool concept sketches and really great start.
I love the leg muscles.
Best of luck for the competition.

[slocik]

Threefingered i hope you will ;] I wonder where will you take this model ;]

[Threefingered]

Well I like a good challenge and I am connected to the character--it feels like the "right" one to do for this particular instance anyhow...I started making the extras today(tentacles, hair and detail bits and pieces so I will try and implement some of that in the next update...Any thoughts on the proportion changes?

Small update...Larger Hands, minor proportion fixes, more detailing...

[slocik]

i think you schould make his belly a lot bigger, more like in trhe oryginal concept. Also can you show it from the bottom or the top view ? I thinkits way to long,

[Threefingered]

Whats funny is that I was just looking at that with some co-workers...Your all correct, it looks much better with a larger belly, just have to work out some of the details...I guess thats why its a WIP right...?

[slocik]

yeah as i thought ;] I felt from the begging somthing was wrong with the belly, its made from two parts, or schould i say it looks like its a separe thing from the back. Anyway, sorry but i needed a break from my model, so i played a little with your design, i think it schould have shorter legs, but with more mass, and the belly and his back schould look like one big part ;] At least thats what i see in the design .

[Threefingered]

Agreed...After the last little mess around, I was looking at my early drawings and found my original character doodles...



...Definitely a more stout character, especially in the side view...I am working with that now...

Thanks for your comments...

[Threefingered]

Playing with a newer concept that takes some of the other thumnails into consideration...

Thoughts?

[sardeanie]

I like it! I can just imagine it spreading a path of despair as it lumbers purposely forward. The appendage behind the head reminds me of a raw turkey neck (sorry, lol) but is a great addition. What evil purpose does that have? Will the egg like sacks pop open spreading spores of evil? Or are they for incubating special demon spawn?
I like how this character has a very fertile and motherly structure while still reeking of blackness and evil. Anxiously awaiting more!

[Threefingered]

As I said at CG Talk, work is killing me so updates have been tough...Here is the latest from the last few weeks(has it really been that long?)...

Retopo:


Polypaint WIP:



Normal Test Old:






So...I have a ton of work left to do, there are a bunch of other assets to impement(hair, teeth, tentacles, nails and ribs) and time is very short, so any comments or crits are welcome at this point...

[sardeanie]

Wow, big moves! I love the boiled look of the arm flesh along with the rest of the colors. Coming along nicely!
