Croc, Legend of the ....yobbos

Ave

Hey peeps.


So every Friday i try to do kind of a fanboy sculpt for a combination of fun and practice. Recently i've been taking game icons from the 90's and making them darker/grittier for a laugh with the dudes on the polycount ghangout.

Here was the result of last friday (still in the process of retopo/texturing if you were wondering where the finished plant is).

Here is the result of this friday:




A small number of you might remember the awesome Croc games from the 90s, but if you don't - this is what the original croc/player enemy looked like: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/149/2/e/Croc_legend_of_the_gobbos_by_Uncka.jpg


Would appreciate any C&C you can chuck at me - especially regarding rendering/presenting work - its definitely a weak point for me. I'm not sure what my plan is for this guy yet

Cheers.

Haha, this is brilliant!

I like the sculpt it's nice, but if it was me I'd change the toes and the tail a little bit. They just seem a bit too bulky for me, nothing drastic but I think it would make it look better.

Ave

Yeah Jamil, i'd agree. Because it was done so quickly places like the toes got a bit less love'. Going to have to go back and redo all the derpy spots sometime this week. Thanks for pointing it out

Computron

LOL. Awesome, I loved Croc.

Whats up with his tail?

Jamil Shaukat

@Ave How long did it take you? Do you reckon you'll end up texturing it? I'd love to see a completely finished version sometime

@Computron I just think it would look nicer if the tails curvature was slightly adjusted, something like this perhaps:



Not a big change, but I personally prefer it.

Fwap

Looks awesome!
Are you sure you used ref though? seems a little off from the original

Awesome work man, i got so excited when i read the title, was not disappointed.

Ave

Im surprised that people know the game...everyone in the ghangout when i was making it had no idea that it existed. I guess it must have been bigger here in Australia than anywhere else.

Cheers for paint over Jamil. Definitely looks better


Edit: I just read the wiki page - apparently it was originally pitched as a yoshi game ><
