W.I.P | The Slug Phreak!

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Yeah thought i’d start off the newyear with a slug creature… Not really a slug but a freaky slug? yah, but just somethin outa my brain hehe

I had already modeled the slug in max 8, I then brought that into zbrush and went crazy on it, created normal maps with Zmapper, Created a Displacement map, Baked out the cavity shaders onto a texture, Color map, Blood layer, Fat layer, spec maps etc. Finnaly rednered it out in Brazil with SSS skin shader. I could use wax shader, but never tried it. Il be back with more updates

That’s a mighty big slug. I’d hate to have to be the one to feed it.

Really nice model! I think you should push the texture even more for really SLIMY…then it will be scary and gross!

thants realy realy cool man. I love it. Very original and scary:D

Looking good. Ony crit is that the texture is to uniform. Usually you have a lighter Belly and a different pattern (riges for example), the sides are slightly different than the back and the head looks different than the rest… You get the idea… Right now it look as if it is cast out of the same material. Great Sluggo in any case, my Dog’s would be scared to hell…

Looks really nice! I agree with lemon on the texture… here are some close-up photos I took, both of the same slug.

You can see how drastically they can change from exploration mode to defense mode. (Though it looks like your slug would have a “chew your fingers off” mode. :lol: ) Just something to possibly keep in mind when you animate 'im. [I couldn’t view the current animation you have since I’m on dialup right now, but I’ll have a look-see later]
Keep up the great work, though! Looks super!

Nuke the texture. The grey base with the mouth open is a very intimidating image from a toe biter. I’d also recommend someway of showing the mucus that a slug generates to travel frictionless over surfaces from the lower sides and underside. This work has potential, Zbrush is your friend here, push a little further. :wink:
