WIP - Demoncrab

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi,

This is my first time posting a WIP. I was hoping to get some constructive critiques on this model. Trying to finish for the turntable gallery (not sure i stand a chance) :) , if I manage to finish this will be my first completed piece, all i have is unfinished doodles. About the model: I havent really commited to how the "shell/body" will look like, from what it is now its just some sort of arachnid body but just volumes. I had an idea of ornamenting it like some sort of throne, kinda like Baals on Diablo2. Hands r separate subtools as weel as the head?neck the clavicle looks weird because its right in the seam. IHavent done any retopo on the model yet, it was all done with zspheres and a separate basemesh with edge loops for the head. Thanx in Advance [![crab_00.jpg|1122x839](upload://mdAEjRq1KnljO89F4QR5Bwz14dd.jpeg)]![crab_04.jpg|1118x842](upload://psDSUObv40E9gKYQCWaT1xflske.jpeg)

This is a very cool concept,

but I’d ditch the human-ness of the demon, or at least make him more crab-like,
give him some chitinous plating.

But it’s still way better than I can do (for now)

#5

Yeah, i glimpsed at that idea but unfortunatly ill have to commit to the more humanoid upperbody, i could however accentuate more demonic features to his face/upperbody, as it i he just looks like a frowning guy with 2 sets of horns lol
. The chitinious plating is good idea, i was thinking of harnessing his “shell” with big chunks of plating. maybe with some crude spikes in the mix… :slight_smile:

thanx for the compliment meanboy and feel free to crit this away everyone :smiley:

#6

dude! is getting its very cool spider demon.
I really enjoyed your line modeling.
very good.

#7

An interesting concept for sure- though the name is a bit confusing. It’s definitely more of an ant/spider than a crab, otherwise you’d probably want to ditch the stinger and add some claws :slight_smile:

his abs are looking a bit harsh right now, and the overall human-ish upper body doesn’t quite feel cohesive with the rest of the design.

#8

My original idea was to make him half spider/demon, kinda like those Drow Spider monsters from ADD,after looking a spider references ,for legs ,they seemed dull. So I bulked up alot and ended up looking like crab legs lol.

i guess after playing 5 years of wow the “nerubian” spider went tru me subcontiously wich r some heavy armored undead spiders

I agree theres a harsh change from 1 part to another maybe thats whats driving me away from this concept ,trying 2 keep this hard contrast between th parts

thanx for the valid input on concept and antomy
:smiley:

#9

Trying to find more organic shape for the upper part… was looking very “Stiff” not happy wiht it atm. :frowning:

Willam Defoe?
The Direction you go with the surface texture should make make it clear if its a crab or a Spider. I think it looks Super cool.

#11

Great work!!!

Reminds me Willem Dafoe… did you take him as reference?

#12

Haha YES!! I did use willem dafoe as a reference. I loded that you guys picke dup on that exactly what I aimed for :smiley:
I modeled his head first, then i worked around to change it up so it wasnt identical, i love how you guys picked up on that :smiley:

here is the willem dafoe head, its not 100% tho I only managed to get good front references of him, his profile i had to guess it, but its close to what he looks like.

Im new to this forum ,maybe be double posting here but. ill edit if I do.
Great piece. You can use the Dafoe head if you ever want to do a green goblin sculpt lol. The way detailing was done to the legs remind me of the cryptfiend units from warcraft 3.

Would like to see some more updates
keep it up

I see your brazilian like me so ill be following this close
vai meu filhoo! =)

  • Hertzog - Fala brazuca!!! ill be constantly posting as i progess until date is due . I wont be working late today so i might squeeze in couple hours to work on this guy, maybe i can get somethingdone.

Thanx for the feedback so far and the compliments!

EDIT: and yeah i might do a green goblin sketch using that head in the future :stuck_out_tongue:

#15

How many subtools you got there so far? im always curious about subtools and polycounts. ive read a post somewhere of a guy going over 300mil. for 1 sculpt blew my mind.

#16

Very interesting model… it does remind me of Dafoe…however as some may have mentioned…it sure look like Spider more than Crab…still a great piece though!

#17

Its a spiderdafoe-crabdemoned pie :smiley: i should have the thread name changed lol dosent bother me as long as in the end looks powerful and demonesque.

thanx for the kind words solid ! just checked your sketchbook, awesome videos very good info for the community. and very cool model really like how you worked him up from ground zero, great concept too! :lol:

#18

Very cool crab! Great idea. Keep going! :+1:

#19

Thank you very much for the support! hopefully ill have time to finish this in time :smiley:
