The Toad King (WIP)

Working on an image for Exposè 3.
This is only stage one. Original mesh in wings3D.
The rest is going to be all Z.

This is very nice. I am looking forward to the fully textured version. Do you have a snapshot of the model when it was brought into ZBrush??

Goodluck MTB, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. can’t wait to see this thing progress.

Nice Stuff :slight_smile: Hope you can get into the Expose’ :wink:

Very well done, like ever :+1:

I’m pretty sure for Expose3 they have to be original models, not a duplicate of something that’s already been done, I have the same reference sculpture pictures here, fully realised with full paint jobs. Still, very nice likeness!

I like it :slight_smile:
Did you get your inspiration from Neville Page’s frog sculpture ?

Yes yes, exactly.
Thats is the source of inspiration all right. Look at that emotion. Now, you tell me he doesn’t deserve a potrait with a septor and a crown.

I as an artist,I know better then to copy every inch of him and claim it as my own. I think you guys know that to. Also, as an artist, I know that sculpting that toad doesn’t give Mr. Page exclusive rights to toads now and no one can ever make another one again especially posed as such. Know what I mean? It silly. Inspiration, oh yes…without a doubt. Duplicating him for my own…now come on, this is me guys…like I am some noob. :rolleyes:
Now don’t get me wrong, if the shoe were on the other foot, I too would make sure someone wans’t going to be riped off of their work. So I know where the train of thought is on this.

No, I have a whole new texture and Hi res modeling method in store for him. I have me a frog and toad book here that is going to be the source of the final work on this guy. A combination of them, like Southern toad, Argentine horned from, and asian leaf frog. Maybe even Fancy marking like on a dart-poison, I mean after all, he is royalty.

As for the Wings mesh, here they are. [[attach=6139]Toad Wire.jpg[/attach]]![Toad Wire.jpg|538x507](upload://fz2YdEdf79yaBXYthF7nTe7bzeV.jpeg)

I like how it is going very much! good luck!!!

Cool modeling :cool:

I like it Mike…since I’ve been gone awhile, I haven’t seen any of your work since the sleeping dragon you made (gosh, was that 2 years ago, or so?). Very well done. I think what Stringer meant was simply that “The Toad King” is an established character. For you to make a similar character, who is a toad, and is a king, perhaps a different name would help in addition to the originality of your modeling and texturing. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what I read from the comment.

Even still, I want to see this finished!:+1: :+1: :+1:
