Alien ecorche’ concept I am experimenting with.

Would be great to get some C & C and see what you think of this.

Thanks

Very nice alien ecorche. Definitely worth taking the concept further.
I’m not so sure about the inward rotation of the lower arm, though, seems a bit TOO strong for my taste…
All the same, good concept!

Since form follows function Im not tooo sure about this design. What are the reasons for this anatomy?

Hi G-Dub

Thanks for you input.

I should have been more clear about my intention for this concept and the anatomy choices I made.

I wanted to create a biped that had a some different anatomy features from human anatomy that could turn into a quadruped when it had to move quickly.

Here is a quick Dynamesh pose to illustrate my idea more clearly. I would be interested if you have any further feedback.

PS Just been checking out your quick sketches and sculpts. Great stuff you’ve got there. I can’ t believe I’ve missed your posts. Great work.

Hey MattSkinny

Thanks for the input. I was struggling with this idea of the inverted wrists too, but I hope that the image above gives you more of an idea of what I was going for.

I’ll check out you ebook out soon too.

Cheers

Added an up right pose.

Still a lot of work to do on poses, just roughing in out and experimenting. All the feedback is invaluable. Really makes me think about lots of different aspects of my sculpting and the visual communication of my ideas. Thanks heaps.

I see, that makes sense to me know. It certainly looks stranger and more menacing with the inverted wrist, and less human, so I would stick with it!
Expression beats anatomy for me every time.
And thanks, glad you like my stuff too!

Thoughts and ideas welcomed.

Cheers.

Bit of work on the body.

I sculpted the head separately form the body. I find it a lot harder to get consistency in style between the head an the body this way.

Another quick concept.

Another concept doodles progress.

Hair or no hair, what do you reckon??? Any C & C welcomed.

Quick pose test.

:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1: really like the one with the creepy hair !!

Hair, for sure, but maybe a little more of it. Not enough to cover your sculpt, of course, but just a bit more.

last one looks very nice , waiting to see him in another angle …!!
cheers :+1:

Hey guys thanks for the feedback.

I was surprised you all favored the hair. I started to favor the one without.

I am just playing around with some more Fibremesh setting and will up load some different angles for you to check out.

Thanks again for the feedback. Its invaluable to get some outside feedback and not get tunnel vision.

Cheers

A few more angles. Added some more detail and changed up the Fibremesh a bit too.

C & C always helps push me. Thanks.

This looks awesome, Laurie!

The only thing c&c wise I’d have to say is maybe have the hair fade out more from the top of the middle, but no biggie.

Great job. :smiley:
