Those CGchat vermin should begin digging....their GRAVES!!!...to save us the trouble when we've lain waste to their pathetic armies!

I was thinking some kind of brutal Venomous hulking mighty Crab/Lobster-like general, with an army of sideways walking skittering minions. His not humanoid, but not exactly crustacean carapace & limbs decorated for war, and scarred by battle. Truely a terror to behold.

Oh, and a gigantic weapon that fits to his arm(the big claw arm), some sort of Bio gun or Vile poisoned Harpoon launcher. However this beast prefers the upclose kill, tearing his foes limb off with his powerful claws & mandibles.

don't worry scooba doo, i'll help you out with this one soon enough

should be a lot of fun

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

Well, I couldnt quite wait, so here is what I whipped up in like 15-20 mins...

naruSol · Feb 2006

I want acid spit glands and scratched up metal plating over his chitinous shell! STAT!

Its a good start, it looks like a beastie right now though, not a character, for just a basic idea though its definately got a lot of promise.

Wells · Feb 2006

YES!

Love it. Give him a pouch on a sash to keep his personals in, and it will differentiate him from the common lobstrosities.

poopinmymouth · Feb 2006

I'm with Sectaurs, some people gear or clothes will go a long way to help make him more general, and less mindless minion. Glad to see you up in this contest buddy!

gauss · Feb 2006

yes i knew you could handle this well enough on your own! as mentioned, some signs of his Generalship would be welcome as would some color variations on his carapace, perhas a more exotic coloration style... the little crab off the cover of the Prodigy's Fat of the Land flashed to mind just now. you know, something colorful like that.

anyhow, i knew jooo could doo eeeet! go scoob go!

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

Oh yeah. Your comments are not lost on me. While I dont know how "human" his gear will look, he will have regal looking atlantis-ish gear & fluff on. And yeah, his shell will be more colorful than the typical crab. This is just a quickie. More detailed stuff is to follow.

Jhotun · Feb 2006

Maybe a bit of green would make him look very good.

Keep it up!

Play this mission on metal slug3.
You'l get all the crabby inspiration you need.
Plus look!Green flavored polycount crabs.

HonkyPunch · Feb 2006

I love metal slug. Nice crab by the way.
I need to get metal slug 5...

Spoon_of_death · Feb 2006

yeah, the metal slug crabs were the first things I thought of when I saw the concept as well...

Nice job!

Jhotun · Feb 2006

the third one is awesome

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

Not crazy about how this is going, but...ya know. An update. Trying to keep some semblance of momentum whilst juggling projects/work/life.

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

More updates!
I reworked the concept a bit tonight.
Please Crit away before I jump into modeling this sucker!

Valandar · Feb 2006

Perfect! The mantle gives him an almost regal air for a crab, just what a General needs!

poopinmymouth · Feb 2006

I dig the new face, good job skoobles.

jzero · Feb 2006

Aargh! Stupendous!

When this commander says "Jump!" you ask "Which direction away from your gaping maw, O Horrendous One!"

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

A tiny preview of where Im goin with this

MoP · Feb 2006

looks awesome, man. keep up the good work

Timex · Feb 2006

cool

,recently i make one at work

,it looks more sweet

.

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

Still doing some redesigning...

Crit away!

poopinmymouth · Feb 2006

Nice dude. Huge improvement. But that is sooo a sexual mouth shape he is making, and don't say it's just me.

But I think that's the best rendering treatment I've seen you give to a 2d piece, and the extra time shows. I can see a model of this being pretty sweet.

Valandar · Feb 2006

Looks really good! But I prefer the 'vestmants' the previous concept wore... made it definitely unique and definitely a commander.

ThE_BirD · Feb 2006

cool stuff scoobs... I can't believe I missed that you were making a crab lookin general as well... This guys much more organic though which is really cool...should give you lots of opportunity to get some crazy normal mapping in there... I like that he's decked out in gear too, it might be cool to play that up...

ElysiumGX · Feb 2006

That last concept is very cool. Has a strong stance to it.

ScoobyDoofus · Feb 2006

aesir · Mar 2006

jeeeez scoobs. got enough shiny detail on that guy?

(looks sweet)

gauss · Mar 2006

oh nasty! the crenelated surface with that kind of wet/oily surface read is positively revolting, but HIGHLY effective! push this sucker, man, get those limbs done so we can see him in his victory pose. he's looking awesome, would be a crying shame not to finish him now

rooster · Mar 2006

so, so cool. Really looking forward to the rest!

Lee3dee · Mar 2006

looks like the lobster that filled my sushi roll. Looks great scooby!

ElysiumGX · Mar 2006

i like where this is going. you need to hurry up.

ScoobyDoofus · Mar 2006

Tiny update...Im soooo behind.

MoP · Mar 2006

Very cool style man! 3 1/2 days left... gonna make it?

spacemonkey · Mar 2006

the high detail is looking good, I'd like to see this finished even if you miss the deadline!

Darksun · Mar 2006

damn scooby... Keep it comin! This is my fav concept so far! Lobster tastes good on the plate and off!

gauss · Mar 2006

awesome scoob, you've GOT to keep it up. glad to see that the limbs retain the detail level you established on the main body... don't want you to cut any corners but it would be cool to see you finish this one in time! but like spacemonkey says, if not, this is a primo portfolio piece alright. so either way, you're required to keep working on this

ScoobyDoofus · Mar 2006

Hahah, thanks guys. I dont know how realistic it is that I'll finish this on time, but Im working towards that end anyway. And as you say, even if I miss the deadline, still good folio stuff.
Thanks for all the support! It means the world to me.

ScoobyDoofus · Mar 2006

Ack. I was, sadly correct. Not even close to being done.
Good luck to all you diligent mo-fo's out there who put together such fantastic entries! For the Black & Green!

MoP · Mar 2006

ah such a shame, he was shaping up very nicely.
gonna finish him in your own time, i hope!

Mark Dygert · Mar 2006

I hope you do finish him, it was shaping up really nicely! shame it wasn't finished in time but it could be a really nice portfolio piece?

rooster · Mar 2006

This definately would have been a great piece to have on our side :]. I also hope you finish!
