Weekly Sketch Group(Topic#7 - Anthropomorphic Reptile, Amphibian, or Crustacean)

[Dribble]

The topic of this week's zSketch challenge is...
"Anthropomorphic Reptile, Amphibian, or Crustacean "
You're challenge is to display human characteristics with a reptile, amphibian, or crustacean from this list of 10...

1. Frogs
2. Alligators
3. Snakes
4. Toads
5. Crocodiles
6. Salamanders
7. Turtles/ Tortoises
8. Lobsters
9. Crabs
10. Krill

Try to keep them more similar to animals than to humans. Don't lose the animal characteristics while adding the human ones.

You might feel limited by the list of ten but each of these creatures has multiple variations (Look at snakes, there are cobras, vipers, anacondas and tons more...). You literally have hundreds and hundreds of possibilities.

The Deadline For This Topic Is:
Wednesday, June 3rd
Post any work you are doing on the topic and please feel welcome to give constructive criticism to anyone who asks for it.



The images below are images of anthropomorphic creatures in popular culture.

I'm hip for this but I want my Goblin to get some equipment, a pedestal, and a pose first lolz. I can already see a mean ass croco-human

[Dribble]

Yeah take your time on the other one! Still got a week on that and a full two weeks on this.

I'm probably going to go with a crustacean but I'm not sure yet...

[LeoAMD]

[Orkanslayer78]

Orkan, Looking good man! Looks like a salamander or lizard, correct? Haha please, excuse me if I'm wrong it's still early in its development.

J.Fernwright, Hell yes! How could I leave out Battletoads?!

Space, Although I had to look them up, I was familiar with them after I saw a picture. Yeah, anything like that is excellent. I actually forgot to put lizards on the list but they are free game also.

okay i can't resist, and to make it worse i'm going to try one of each type, amphibian(Rygel), reptile(Bossk) and crustacean, starting with the last. good old Dr.John, i also made a zmovie to show how it was made, i had to stop because masking stopped working correctly, and then the second movie i was recording was lost in a crash. about 3hrs of work so far. the base is supposed to look like a transporter pad, but it needs more work too. some minor touch up needed iin the eyes and painting, and to make his stethoscope. off to bed.

[Dribble]

Hahahaha Zoidberg! Nice.

[spaceboy412]

Well i'm done with this for now, if i missed something let me know. On to Bossk next.

[troy1617]

hey space very nicely executed as a whole really like the feel to this piece simple but effective in your forms.. and also thanks for the video to bad your other video crashed on you while recording the process of Zoidberg.. lets just call it another zbrush bug to add to the already long list...lol

looking forward to who you do next..

[spaceboy412]

Troy, Thanks, i was basing him on my action figure.
heres a quick test trying to figure out how i'm going to deal with the scales.

[spaceboy412]

about an hours of work, really not happy with it, i'm not looking forward to dealing with transpose master once i start making all the subtools.
