JeanValjean and Myself will be working on an heavy stupid Wartoad. Our main reference for the style are the work of CreatureBox, we want to make something colorful, funny and cartoonish.
We’ve been working hand in hand on the concept, this is’nt final as we’re 3D Artist and not concept artist we’re going to finish it during the modeling, colors aren’t final neither, Quixel suite will be our friend during this phase ^^, so here is the last update of the concept by JeanValjean :

UPDATE :

Wartoad High Poly

Pilot High Poly

Weapon color

JeanValjean

Yeah ! more to come soon

Bbox85

I fully support everything that is happening here Reminds me of a mid-level boss you'd encounter in Mega Man X

Geno527

Thanks Bbox ! We both really love Megaman so it make us really happy to hear that !

Loutrattitude

I like it, ANOTHER !

Suba

Haa that's bad ass !

Geno527

Just a small update for the weapon :

OrganizedChaos

Pfahahah oh man, the little tadpole tail XD This guy has a ton of character already! Feels like a perfect toy or something you'd see in an epic cartoon. Great gun too! I'm really curious about the rider now

JeanValjean

Ahah thanks !

Here is a hint for the rider

Geno527

We've just got some times to start the modeling, so here is the very first wip of the day to see if he looks cool in 3D, Vincent will do the Wartoad's body, and I'll make the weapon, arms and pilot :

Edit : Wow already a second one :O

(more to come )

Geno527

You want it ! Here is our pilot's first wip :

Quick update with the color (they are not final) and an idea for the helmet (but we will probably do it without the helmet :

Kamezis

I really like he proportion !
Can't wait to see more of the character

Geno527

Thank you Kameziz, we can't wait to see him finished too ^^

JeanValjean

Hello !
Here is the fat toad high poly, totally naked for you ~~

More seriously, the colors are very wip atm (It's concept again), and the sculpt lacks some details ; details we'll add later (scales, skin etc) when body armor parts will be merged upon him :

Safemilk(Daniel)

Loving this, great colors and cool otherworldly cuteness going on too. MOAR!

Geno527

And now a Quick render for the Turret (Currently we're a bit busy with our relocation) :

Bbox85

Great progress!! I knew this was gonna be awesome! Keep it up guys!

EarthQuake

Haha, awesome style!

JeanValjean

Thanks !

Hey h

Geno527

Now you can forget about the shoulder, because here is the arm ! :

Arsenal

Nice progress guys! I'm loving the vibrant colors.

Geno527

Really ? You love vibrant color ? Me too ! Brace yourself vibrant colors are coming ! (I'm doing a lot of test with keyshot for the color schem)^^

AzzaMat

This looks great I can't wait to see it finished!

Geno527

Thank you AzzaMat ! We can't wait too ^^.

UncleFantazmo

Super great concept and the execution is stellar. I have been following this for a couple days and this entry just sticks in my mind. I love the stylized feel and the big shapes of the frog. It has a phenomenal silhouette, and so much character. I can't wait to see how you pose the characters.

JeanValjean

ahah thank you !
We do wonder about the pose too, but we already have something funny in mind, should worth it

Geno527

Hey, thank you UncleFantazmo ! We're putting a lot of effort on this contest so we're very happy to read a com' like yours ^^. For the "pose", this will be the hardest part, because we know how to rig/skin but we're not very effective with that. But we've already thought about the final scene (pose/diorama/etc) and we want to make something fun :]. We hope that you will enjoy it ^^.

I had some fun with Keyshot while I was trying to find a good color schem, little thing please little mind I think ^^ :

Yes I'm trying to burn your eyes But you can blame Arsenal, he said that he love vibrant color, so...

duncan

This is easily one of my favorite entries of the whole comp.... I dig the Orange number, bottom row, second from the left.

JeanValjean

Thanks Duncan !

Ahah I should say I'm with the orange one too, maybe because it fits the colors of the original concepts ?
Anyway it's like a lot of good toys, they all have something, and it must have been fun for Geno

Geno527

We've just finished the high poly of our Wartoad (more detail will come with nDo2), so here he is :

As Always color and material are not final ^^. Now the Low poly !

JeanValjean

A little stretched update : a close up on the pilot highpoly !

turbinea

very nice design. colors make eyes bleed a bit. but the design is very nice!!

nozone

I really love this entry, crazy-bright colors and all! Really looking forward to seeing what texturing brings out

EarthQuake

Yes yes yes. So much yes.

JeanValjean

thank you for your feedback and support !

We are busy with Lowpoly/UVs/Baking right now

JamesMeader

loving the look of this. Could be my favorite!

BeardyDan

This is really impressive (and unique), fantastic work!

Geno527

Thank you everyone ! We are currently playing with Ddo & Ndo2 and we hope that you'll love what we are making ^^ ! Thanks again for your support !

looprix

Fun stuff! It's going to be interesting how dDo handles this style.

Geno527

Ddo give us a very good start, but for some detail we'll have to work directly with toshop because we've try to make it 100% with Ddo and this is a bit too realistic. But this is a very good start, to get good material like rubber, latex, metal, etc.
Here is an exemple of what we are creating with Ddo (probably not the best example ^^) : (nom nom):

As our Internship as just started we've been a bit busy so we didn't had time to post wip so forgive us, here is a bit of love :

Suba

Haha so groovy !

Kamezis

EPIC. You killin' it !

Crazy_pixel
