here's a doodle for an abomination... Basically a grunt of the demonic forces, travels in packs.

or... you can order them by the plate, suicide or honey garlic.

lol, fuck yeah

Jay Evans

nice, looks tasty:)

konstruct

that, is, AWESOME ! O_O

Muzzoid

Cools.

Im not completely sure about the scale, having bones as big as that doesnt really work in a scale sense. Perhaps build him out of smaller bones?

jeremy price

thanks Muzz,

yeah he originally started off more along those lines, as a conglomeration of a lot of corpses all bound together, but after scribbling for a while it turned into a bag of meat strapped to giant bones, i just thought it read better when it was less complex.
ultimately, its a demon. the bones are huge because they're just plain evil:)
i could just scale him down to a more human size...
is anyone else bothered by the scale?

Muzzoid

Perhaps try tree trunks or something else that could be that scale?

I like the overall scale just not the huge non specific bones.

konstruct

I like the big- it might be cool to pack some smaller bones where the larger bones are protruding from. Like its a huge sack of different dead things ranging in size, and the seals around the large walking bones arent 100% tight, so, some of the smaller contents are dribbling out.

eeeww.

jeremy price

thanks for the feedback guys,
i did this variation to address some of the ambiguous scale issues.
basically he's a bag of skin bound and stitched around some elephant bones... and with a tusk stuck in his face... for fierceness.
i'll spend some more time on this for sure though, this was pretty quick and dirty

indian_boy

YES damnit YES

this is gonna be a fun one to watch

jeremy price

Another iteration... wanted to get rid of the 'meat shorts' look and enhance the tendons
The area under the chin/chest is a little vague, maybe more stitches:)

StJoris

Somewhat disturbing, but very much WIN! Less fond of the latest attachment of the legs, it looks somewhat out of balance.

MEAT da na na na BONE!! Very metal my good sir. and a very interesting idea. i think right now my favorite part is the striations on the shoulder zone, maintains ambiguity but adds a bit to the functional realism of it, creating some lumpy fun muscle groups would be sweet, also some changes in the flesh color would be neat to see some skin some exposed muscle? maybe not love the touch of the splintered bone feet, sweet stuff!

Muzzoid

I think the splintered bone feet will work a lot better in 3d than 2d woog, .

That's a bit better dude, its getting there. Keep it up .

jeremy price

i can't believe the speed of this forum:)
thanks for the feedback.

St. Joris:
i actually wanted to push the 'out of balance' ... this guy is a pretty much a demonic frankenstein... loosely assembled from bone, fleshy bits, and some twine for the sole purpose of flattening stuff.

Woogity:
at v2 a friend of mine suggested adding the broken bones from v1 back in because he felt it looked painful... i thought what better pain than to be walking on them... plus it shows he's covered some ground.
soon he'll be bouncing along on stumps:)

Muzz:
thanks, more on the way:)

jeremy price

V4.. in his "roaming about the wasteland" stance

i tried adding maggots raining from his eyes, but it didnt read at this distance very well:)
a few more days and its time to stop scribblin' and start moodlin.

jeremy price

i just realized that this guy is slowly turning into a mud wrestle between a francis bacon painting and a landstrider from the dark crystal.

kendo

Good idea especially the last one it will look good in 3d. It reminds me abit of miura's demons from berserk

konstruct

yeah this is pretty cool i. I only worry there argent enough high frequency details. you have the med and low freq, just needs some little details now.

Sooo weird though, keep it goin~!

Tumerboy

wow, I don't know what I'm looking at, but I like it!

kite

Cool idea, i agree with muzz though he's so huge his bony legs and arms could do with being made out of smaller bones, and more small scale details, smaller stitches etc would definitely sell the scale.

woogity

Its getting much better man, i like him on all fours kinda gorillia postured, esp with no feet really balance has to suck for this thing. i like the maggots idea could be great for some high frequency to have giant wounds on him festering with maggots!. also would be cool to see some shredded skin hanging from the underbelly.


also dont check this out if your squeemish, but could help for the skin details

good luck on the development man!

thanks for the feedback guys... concept version 5 coming soon.

think i'll stop drawing now.


Maggots! Maggots!
Maggots are falling like rain!

some inital pushing and pulling...

woods

This is fantastic. I'd love to see all those varieties completed and posed together...

coldkodiak

awesome dude. super cool idea.

jeremy price

some more pushing and pulling, still have to add the ropes and teeth, and figure out a good way to do the broken bone ends:)

jeremy price

added subtools for stitches/ropes, and made some mesh adjustments
teeth tomorrow

jeremy price

latest wip... some teeth.
tomorrow, loose threads, bone shards.

jeremy price

small update, started adding some other bits... lots more needed.

jeremy price

started some ribs and made him a little meaner looking with an angrier browline and summer teeth.
summer here... summer there.

lorddon

Man, that looks dead-on with the concept.

konstruct

NICE- I am a HUGE fan of this entry. although I feel he needs something on him as a scale ref. I could totally see this being some super creepy creature in a game that's a bout knee height and skitters around all creepy style and I know thats probaby not what you had intended.

*maybe his feet could look more like that have been hitting the ground over and over again with enormous power and there all flattend, smashed and cracked.

*maybe some war banners and some framework holding them up on his back?

*maybe save some tris to do a vulture so for the beauty shot you could do a flock of buzzards that fly around picking at the moist bits.

*Also,I hate to say it, but it might be cool to toy with the idea of a rider- maybe not anything recognizable as a biped or anything, the rider could be as bizarre and abstract at the creature itself, but something at the reigns of this thing would probably help give a sense of scale.

ApprenticeEverything

man this is looking good! it sure has come a long way from the first concept sketch!

jeremy price

thanks for the feedback guys... did some more pulling around his mouth and face.
i totally agree with the scale issue Konstruct... and i definitely think the splintering on the bone ends is a good way to sell it. i was also thinking of mashing some branches etc into the splinters of the 'feet'.. klingons from all the stomping:)
war banners? vultures? also good ideas.. will have to do some experimenting.

and if its still not working.. maybe a few skewered people on his tusk:)

jeremy price

back from easter, full of ham.
did some scale adjustments to the stitches and ropes to make him seem bigger, and started adding smaller details to the broken bone ends... will continue this tomorrow.

jeremy price

new stuff

jeremy price

wow its been a while since i posted..
currently a few hundred over the 10k budget, but i've got some backfaces on the ropes to get rid of.
i still plan on adding some old tattered war banners as you suggested Konstruct, they're coming.

here's a screen.. target mesh, occlusion, and normal map. thank you marmoset, thank you xnormal.

jeremy price

started some diffuse texturing, its pretty early but i havent posted anything in a while...
no spec map yet, lots of seams to fix later, but just focusing on the meat right now, bones after that.

Bummer6

Barbeque anyone?

jeremy price

some more diffuse clicking,

konstruct

yuk. Spec map is gonna make this shine! *pun intended :P

Zwebbie

That is probably more gruesome than I imagined it to end up like when seeing the concept.

Which is awesome .

Somehow I never saw this post until it was finished! Pretty awesome man. I would love to see this guy with a walk cycle. I mean, it would creep the hell out of me....but in a good way! You used DOF and composite of the background image nicely in your beauty shot. A lot of people overdo the DOF, but here it looks great. The low camera angle also gives a nice intimidating sense of scale on this sick monstrosity.

jeremy price

thanks Tyler,

i was actually thinking of trying a walk cycle, i'm going to take a break from nights on the computer for a while:)... but i'll post it when i do.
