ORIGINAL POST:
Private slack arse reporting for duty!!
So after years of lurking I finally decided to sign up for this here Glorious War.
Alchemy..sexy. 'Nuff said.
Some other poop..err..ideas.
I don't mind the Norm invoker but it felt a little lovey dovey.
Daemon Prince, meh.
After much piss farting around I went back to the shit I love, Demons...hungry hungry Demons.
This little guy likes walks on the beach, holding claws and Barry White...oh and eating the putrid flesh of Polycounts fallen enemies!!!! :snarl:
He 'might' have a little guy with him who hangs around gathering up the tender morsels left over from a kill, sort of a relationship akin to the birds that hang around buffalo, except of course for the blood and ooze.
Tweaked the concept a tiny bit more. See above.
I won't be doing any more on it, I know what I want to do with him so I'll just get into the good stuff.
Now off to the stupendous, fabulous, splendifferous world of the 3rd Dimesion!!

The abomination is also really cool! I can't wait to see what you're going to add to fill him out
I'm going to work on the concept some more tomorrow then get onto the base mesh.
The plan for finishing the concept will be:
- add some more broken bone pieces added to his loin cloth
- make the bones along the length of the loin cloth ribs not giant phallanges
- work on the bone protrusions coming out of his arms, legs and twin tail
- was toying with the idea of the loincloth being skinned arms and legs
- and then do his little mate, Greentooth
Doubt i'll color it.
Stop the presses!!
I just noticed my Undead Knight sketch....err....he has the testicles, no? WTF!! Go alchemy! ROFL
I like the idea of a voodoo tribal demon. btw its totally creepy that you turned what looks like an African tribesman into a demon. good idea, but creepy. reminds me of some RE5 action.
Thx man, glad u like.
Konstruct:
The kids don't say wicked anymore? I always use it, guess if you live long enough you get cool again. :P lol
Rooster:
Big demony blokes are always great, like boobs and Chuck Norris.
Should be good enough to get most of the major form down then off to Topogun.
That tails going to come back and bite me on the ass.
-Dean
Yup, pink legs are staying, he'll also have a cute little pink too too, it really makes his eyes pop.
I'll need to push those shapes a fair bit more in the actual sculpt, bit flat right now but progress none the least.
-Woog
Yup, totally agree, it's only a concept sculpt though so I didn't do much more than a quick pass on the head.
I'll have a lot more form in the final sculpt, right now hes just a sausage man with a semi realised head.
Benny:
Cheers mate, not sure if the colors will stay that way in final but it gives me some motivation to push on. It's really the only reason I do a concept sculpt, to get the creative juices flowing so later when it gets less fun I can look at it and go "Oh fook yeah, I need to keep on this!" lol
Brought across all the ideas I liked from the concept sculpt, still only working on the head, I should move onto the body but I'm having fun working on the teeth and horns.
Need more ram.
Spark
Cool man, now build that base mesh!!
Monkeez:
I'm on it...geez, you slave driver!!
Btw, hows your entry coming along? ...yeah thought so you girly boy. lol.
Spark:
Cheers mate, I too have an unhealthy fascination for all things skully and spiney.
Props on your entry btw, looking awesome.
Thx, man.
Teeth are sculpted in for now. Depending on the resolution I can get to in ZBrush I might pull them out when I retopologise.
No special tricks, all I do is lay down mesh for the mass of the gums around each tooth, mask a hole in the middle and push that back into the mesh, mask another hole and pull it back out.
The teeth are pretty deformed right now but I will be throwing it into Topogun once I'm happy with the majority of the mesh. Also gnarled messed up deformed teeth are awesome.
may i see a closeup of the head, specially the teeth..?
Javier:
I think I fiddled too long on the mouth. You'd most probably never see that much detail, but it was fun.
David:
No worries, one of many ways to do it I'm sure.
Oglu:
Here you go. Still haven't done his eyes... lol oops.
Will have to do a lot of the finer detail in photoshop/crazybump as my PC is pathetic.
Another progress shot, struggling with whether or not I should do the bone spikes coming out of the forearms, its in the concept but its just not sitting well with me.
Working on anatomy now, not the most accurate so crit's welcome.
The chest and shoulders are coming along nice and his back is looking really good.
Only crit's are his triceps are a bit off, they need to be a bit longer down towards his elbow more with some more bulk kinda like a upside down Y
really digging the rest of him, though. that face is great.
Cheers mate, I tweaked the triceps a bit.
Sectaurs:
Thnaks mate.
Good call on the legs, they do look very strange now you mention it.
I made a quick adjustment, I might shorten the last portion of the leg as well, still feels a touch odd.
What do you think?
I think maybe what's off about the triceps is that maybe they should slide in more snugly underneath the deltoid (shoulder) muscle mass.
Agreed with Benny on the wang - bit stingy for a demon
Keep going!
lol, I'll man up his nether regions and go over the tri's again.
I've been trying to get all his accesories completed by this weekend, bit of a push to get it done, I only really get an hour or 2 here and there but I'm committedf to finishing the piece no matter what.
Started the skulls.
Oh and he has eye balls now...finally. lol
I can see!!!!!
Anatomy update .. slow progress.
That's some hardcore zbrushery on the face there too...I assumed the teeth were subtools!
Would have made things a tad easier... lol
i dig his face!
but propably you could make his legs a bit wider and bulkier.
he is strongest demon so far, cause he have balls all around.
Thx guys.
I'll play around with bulking up his legs when I get back to detailing him.
Skull looks sweet, when are you doing the greentooth skull?
I really wasn't enjoying the original concept so I did a little reworking, wanted to keep the skulls as I liked how they turned out.
Not sure about the hair...meh, we'll see.
Rough Concept v2.0
Here is one of the sigil stones the Defiler used to ward of the unwanted advances of other bigger nastier daemons.
Sigil Stones
My decrepid PC is struggling with the pitiful 5 Mill for the main sculpt so I've been getting a tonne of crashes on saves...yippee corrupt save Pixologic!
Anyway, here is my latest pass, working out some finer detail, not to happy with it just yet but its forward progress :P
Latest WIP
To do List:
- Finish hands and feet
- Add high frequency detailing over entire body - sigh
- Finish face
- Tail
- New accessories
- Everything else .... Waaaaaa !!!!
Its going to be a tiring week me thinks.
Jaiza: Thx mate, I still probably need to pull out a lot more of the form but I'm just running out of time so most of the torso will stay pretty similar.
- Dean
I like this direction better. The rough tattered cloth suits his description more, its alot more savage.
I think the rings at the back arent neccessary it feels to refined....I just cant picture him having the patience to sit down and make it.
Ths sigil stones and the wrapping around the torso are really cool, it makes him more believable.....Dont know about the hair its creepy looking but I dont think he can pull off a side pony :P
Base is almost done, took a fair chunk of my time to do it but I just wanted to get it out of the way, will put a pic up when its completed.
The stringy bits took ages to do, 70 knots all up. lol
I'll be dreaming about knots tonight... especially as I still have one leg and arm to string up...jebus!
Adding a bit of colour to Mr Drab pants, a Daemon must look his best.
Progress so far:
Lastly I did a real rough bake test, high to low from ZBrush, dodgey automatic unwrap in maya..
Even with shocking uv's most of the detail pulled through!! Yippeess!!
The test is a whopping 11216 tri's but I don't think the 10k limit isn't going to be hard to hit. Check out those toes for poly wastage... 1300 tri's just in the feet alone!! lol
Anyway, sleep now.
- Dean
Are you still going to do the greentooth skull? I was looking forward to it
The bake has turned out pretty good for an automatic unwrap, however it seems like he's lost some detail in his nether regions :poly124:.
Hope to see him finished.
Thanks mate. A lot of rediculously tedious hours doing the knots, probably way more effort than required.
Benny:
Oh you. Shucks.
Fei:
Yeah everyone hates the feet, lol. I don't know, I like them, I'm either completely stupid or a bonafide genius.
As for the tail, I wanted to try something a little different, he's pretty generic, also the tail literaly has zero work on it yet so hopefully once I've done it I can convert you.
Oh well, time to settle in for the night, so much to do.
