Sorry for the radio silence for a while buy have been busy at work quite a bit. Anyway here`s the current progress of him. Slowly getting there, still rough but I`ll start cleaning up forms during the weekend.
Hey peeps, here`s this weekend`s update . Almost there with the final design/proportions, then I`ll go mental with details. I`m a bit behind with the plan but hopefully I`ll make up for it soon. ps. The hands and arms are super WIP (as I want to redo the secondary shapes completely)
This looks amazing! I don't see anything wrong with it so I can't give you any critiques, the work you put in establishing the form is paying out! If you'd like some suggestions, see how it looks if the arm membranes merged with the neck muscles going upwards and not the clavicle, you could also experiment with sth like this: , but far less pronounced.
looking cool! I'd say the only thing I could suggest is to find more areas where you can see the bony structure, because he feels a bit lumpy overall... all soft... would be nice to see some more structure like you have in the elbows all over the body then you could highlight the soft tissue more in contrast
Thank you for the input and for the kind words ! Will be tweaking asap I`ve re-added the image here on the new page so that other might feedback on it without having to go back huehue Sorry for 2x post. Maan, I`d kill for an extra 2-3 weeks extension haha and go absolutely batshit crazy with details lol Vick.
Woow, I love your work! Love the concept and especially the design of the head. The look of the flesh is awesome! Can wait to see the final result. Fat fish, mmmm... yummy! ^^
Thanks dude, I`m just a bit behind I`m affraid. Have to step it up , as I kind of wanted to have an animation friendly-ish retop with proper manual uv seams haha. Guess that might be out of the picture if I don`t finish high res soon !
My 2c. Like where it's going. Really seems super sluggish, glutinous and viperish at the same time with that upper jaw. I'm not totally sold on the bent back hands, seems like it would add some menace to it to have the hands splayed or at least in a more practical position.
Just consolidating some bits, this weekend I hope to go mental with details and catch up with what I`m behind. Changed belly,hands, back webbing a bit and back leg gesture, made it slant backwards more to feel more embedded into the body. Feedback is super appreciated as always! Vick.
I`ve fixed some parts on his back since this screenshot but close enough. Tomorrow I finish the hand, Tuesday I wrap up the legs/flippers and ten I`ll retop/zremesh everything together and do some secondary and tertiary details. By end of next weekend I need to have it finished so I can start bake/texture omgomgomgogm hopefully there still is taim
@llRobinll I kind of have a slight idea of the pose, but can`t pose him yet until I have a final symmetrical full body topology - as I want to be able to still sculpt with posable sym. Also I want the enviro will play a role in the final pose too so I need to sculpt a bit for that too lol
Thank you guys, had a slow week, but posed an older version of him for sh*ts and giggles in order to figure out a composition. I`m stuck at these to angles, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Plij HALP!
A6 or A3 do it for me, my eye is constantly getting stuck at the triangle between his forearm and the ground though, so maybe try to reduce that issue.
A3 and A4 show off everything, I would really like to see A4 with the head retracting from it's right to it's left, cause this way it's staring at the camera. Or maybe a lower FOV? So it would feel real big, as you would look at it IRL.
Hello guys and galls, thank you for the lovely feedback and comments ! Does not seem like much of an update, but re-topology took one hell of a time, that and other duties ... well, almost done with the retop/uv`s ... I seriously doubt I`ll finish this in time for the submission, even if I am to submit shite work (which I will not lol) but even so, I`ll keep working on it and posting and finishing it as if there`s no deadline
That being said, would be lovely to have an extension WINK WINK !
Thanks people ! I`m going to try to at least submit something till the deadline, and then I`ll go back and redo it properly. A pitty, but work and personal stuff got into the way of me actually delivering a decent final piece.
Oh well, next time, I have to do better Live and learn.
I won`t get to finish him but I`ll at least try to post something for the sake of submitting my entry. Then I`ll go back and sculpt/tweak and make him badass and finish him whenever he`s done Color blockout for now.
Thanks so much for the kind words guys, yes I won`t make but I get to go back at it, sculpt it to the level I want it, then re-uv it so I get 4 maps and go absolutely nuts in painter This is gonna be my next portfolio piece hehe

I like how you made the vertebrae to pop up,
I think that the lower jaw looked better, from the front when it was wider
Keep up the good work
