I like ole Trog in his many forms here, but I too like him best in the raw…that animal subhuman terrorist feel to him…the armor would slow him down…he looks like he could just rip your arm outta its socket and hold you with his other arms while beating you to death slowly with your dismembered limb…very way kewl…
hi mentat, nice scary inventention. i like the guy - he has character. in particular i like those lined up round scales. hope you do such or similar also o his lower body. also, maybe you like to add a long “fingernail” at his elbows. i think it would fit the design. and i would do the helmet slightly smaller as not to hide so much of his fantastic head. the helmet is great.
btw, i am just curious, why are you doing this extra torture producing the textures, bumps etc in c4d ?
Cooool image Lonnie !!! 
For 121: is perfect !!! hehehehehe
Well done bro !!! 
Maybe an leather helmet will be more appropriate ?
In any case : great modeling

Lonnie, i’m happy to see this “wip”…
Truly amazing.

Hi Kokoro…the main reason I am doing the texturing in ZBrush is because I do not have BodyPaint for C4D and because I am too lazy to try to unwrap the UV map and take it into Photoshop. 
Also I like the challenge of doing all the textures in ZB…should prove interesting.
I wish we could curse here, because my first reaction to this rhymed with Moly Truckin’ Spit. I think this is my favorite thing I’ve seen you do yet, and not because it was rendered in C4D…the modeling is wonderful. I like him better without the armor, although he still looks great with it. I can’t wait to see how you texture him in ZB. I will be watching for updates on this one.
Whoa! Something more intelligent to say totally escapes me Lonnie. I’ll on the lookout for updates!
I loved the effect made in the eyes. could you show e tell us?
Hi Macord. Actually I have a small tutorial on this located here Monster Eyes If you look closely you will see the eye I used is the last one listed on that page. Cheers. 
Excellent modeling Lonnie!
The C4d materials look really goodtoo and the renders you got are very crisp! I like him without the helm as well, His head is really magestic, but I do like the idea of other bits of armor.
Great job,
Michael
Great work Lonnie!!!it is a joy to see you posting again!!
hi mentat - i meant it the other way round. why do you use c4d (and not only zbrush ? )
Mentat’s beast is back! Looking forward to seeing more updates…
This isn’t really an update. It is more of a test. The ZBrush model was taken into Vue d’Esprit where it was rendered. Then the image was taken back into ZBrush where it was touched up using the 2d tools. One thing I did find was that the texture I created in ZBrush exported quite nicely with the model into Vue.
outstanding melding of two outstanding programs lon…the entry area into the water is gourgeous…water is easy but that believable transition is whats separates the men from the boys… and you chose a great scene for him too…love it
Just adding my two bits…wow…very cool…
Wow! That is some take on the ‘Creature From The Black Lagoon!’ Fascinating watching the progress on this. I notice that the Vue render doesn’t have some of the bumps on the monster
that the earlier version had. Were those bumps
part of the texture or added afterward? In other words…“How You Do Dat?”
Inspirational, as usual! 
It looks great Mentat.
Thanks for a link back to those eyes of yours. Somehow I missed that.
Great update Lonnie!! Really good integration with different programs!! Great tecnique !!!
