The beast - Elements
polycounter lvl 11
Hi,
I will go for some kind of element. A fire element (beast) nurturing nature (beauty), perhaps.
Hope it isnt too far out to be considered a beast, but I saw a motorcycle in the inspiration board, so I should be safe

The idea is the lava golem thing will be watering the small bonzai tree growing out of barren cliffs or something like that.
Only thing is I want to keep him very square, hard edged and stiff, to be a contrast to the soft and wavy bonzai tree
And the sculpting process so far. I might have went too noisy, will most likely make some bigger planes in there again.
This is a render, with a red AO, just to get into the ballpark of what internal lava/firething could look like.
EDIT: I have to redesign the lower leg. Too ostrich atm.
So am I
Much appreciated!
I got him retopologized and UV'ed, and now doing the initial texturing setup. Screengrab from Painter
I took a break from the golem to make the thing he will water the plant with. Screenshot from painter.
One comment: the texture at the side of the handle looks like it's stretched. When I looked close I saw it's not, but from further away it just looks like that.
This was just 2.5 hours from the first polygon to this screenshot, so the idea was just to get something quickly out. I will do the same with the small tree, and then see all 3 assets together, and find some stylistic middleground - most likely closer to the golem. Because you are indeed right
And sharp eyes with the texture! I will fix it. Thank you!
may be it can be more realistically.
Thanks, I agree the texture is too simple, I will be working on that later. However, I am going for a stylized approach, not realism, so I wont be overdetailing it
Quickie on the bonzai trunk so far. Perhaps the base/pot should be a bit bigger, now that I see it
Progress is slow, I much rather play XCOM atm
I threw some quick leaves on it. Screengrab from max.
And also did a "pedestal" this morning.
Havent settled on it yet, and skinning isnt tweaked either, but just to get in the ballpark
Hey Bejibo! You mean scaling down the water bucket? If thats it, then I agree, it would look cuter.
As for the fingers, he is already doing that
Perhaps I should twist the arm or tweak the camera, so that is more visible. Thanks for pointing those things out!
Here is a shot from the top:
Next up is some smoke/particles or something to make him look hot and sexy.
The pose seems a little unbalanced to the right side. Great work though.
