[StefanH]

Hey finally some action in here
thx for all the nice comments.

I like the entries so far, especially the idea with the mermaid is quite original.

I did some work on the hands.

Also another idea on texturing: Half transformed human half rock. Don't know which one i like better. What do you think?

[Malo Juanito]

Hi all. I´m sketching out a grypho. Hope the idea can be figured out, if not, please comment just to improve it. Thanx in advance.

[spaceboy412]

StephanH, nice update, personally i prefer the non fleshed version, if you are going to make it look semi organic i would not go with a flesh tone but more greys, also don't forget that moss and things could be growing on it, cracks too etc.

Malo, nice start!

[Malo Juanito]

StephanH. Please, please, don´t flesh it. I would love to see how far you can take your piece with only a rock look. Just a

thought

[Dribble]

Can't wait to see your entry Orkan!

Stephan, I also prefer the non-flesh version but it was a close call for me. I thought you had already been going for a rocky looking troll after seeing the first post, and I thought (and still think) it was a great idea.

Malo, I like what you've got going so far! I was really hoping to see someone work on the gryph! The wings look a little odd to me at this stage but I'm sure you'll end up working on them more.

Here´s an update. Sculpting the major muscle forms. And i have just realize that in my block form, i put the eyes to hight..

[Malo Juanito]

@Dribble: I spend sometime looking at your Oni because something catch my eyes. So here´s my conclusion: I think it´s libs are to close to the cheeks. Sorry if it is what you are after. I haven´t seen any reference images about Onis

@spaceboy412: If you really only spend 20mins on modeling, looks like that Chimeraspaceboy412way it´s going to be amazing

[spaceboy412]

yeah 20min to mostly just block in the forms, its pretty easy when you have been zbrushing as long as i have. i did work on it some more after wards but don't intend on continuing it or this challenge. best to those that do.

StephanH yes stone is the new black this season for all trolls. No need to flesh him out. It would however look fantastic if he was actually a hill in a scene of rocks and greenery. Maybe he could be so large that even a town has been built on him.

Look at hellboy 2 for referance to see what I am on about. There is a stone giant at the end that comes close to what I am on about
