[Riot Art Contest] - Baron Kog'maw

beastypet

Long time lurker, this is one of my first posts.
the idea is to make a kog'maw skin that looks like he's the child of the updated version of baron nashor.

latest development:

Golden Yak

Wow, I hadn't seen the new Baron model yet - he looks great. A kog'maw version of him would be awesome - good luck!

Pretty cool! like the shape so far definitely starting to look good. Would like to see more nice progress though.

beastypet

Do you mean I should wait longer before posting a progress picture?
thanks I think the shapes will come out even better when I paint the texture

Dont wait with posting progress, if you think you evolved with your project. I think you can broaden him a way more on the lower sektion of his body (legs feeds belly tail). The Alien like heads and his fangs on the new nashor design are very interesting. Bend his fengs more. Think about real predator insects and how they use hers and why they has this shapes. So you can give him a much more aggressiv look.

thanks for the tips, i'll change it up a bit.
I do want to stick to most of the proportions of the original kog'maw tough.

I made a still image for detailed feedback

Turret

Looking great! Wish I could give more feedback then that but I just want to see more. =P

I like it, the readability definitely transfer's over from baron nashor. I do think it's alittle to clean though. I don't mean how refined and polished it is, but simply that there's a lack of detail right now. It's starting to be there in the foot claws, but over all its just shapes and no details (also those back plates need to be tucked in under each other )

You've got your shape though man, just keep pushing it!

beastypet

the sculpt was just to get the shapes right. i'm gonna ad more detail in the painting of the low poly. since the focus of the contest is low poly. But good feedback, i will try to add more detail, and still make sure it reads from the topdown perspective

beastypet

new update, finished lowpoly, unwrap and baked ao.
if anyone knows what lighting I should use. for now I'm using a skylight, but I don't know what to use for the final rendering.

beastypet

new update, did most of the rigging and the texutre.
kind of a big gap between uploads, but its almost finished, going to add the nails as well

Turret

Looking good, I would brighten up the forearms a tad so they don't perfectly match the hind legs, took a couple minutes for me to notice he still had arms. =P

Awwww! Such a cute smile!! Nice work!!

Hey, I think this is a dead topic but you should totally release this skin as a custom one. I would totally use it its fu- freakin' awesome
