Cyclops

biotron · Feb 2016

Inspired by Harryhausen's cyclops. So, cyclops for the beast, who serves as a guard for the beauty.

I plan on more concepting since I really enjoy it, but this is my initial idea.

I like it, looks like the eye is gemlike right now. Which is actually pretty cool.

biotron · Feb 2016

Thanks.

Yeah, I need to play with some variations on the eye for sure, but maybe a solid black look would be cool.

Pixelgorilla · Feb 2016

cool concept!

BrianDolan89 · Feb 2016

Sick concept! Can't wait to see the model.

fantasymaster · Feb 2016

Awesome! Bookmarked.

biotron · Feb 2016

Thanks guys.

Fleshing out the details on the armor now. I'm referencing Moorish architecture for my culture kit, imagining that the beast would have custom armor forged for him, befitting of a guard you might find protecting a princess.

lotet · Feb 2016

Really cool concept, love the head shape and Moorish influences.

OBSTEG0X · Feb 2016

I am looking forward to seeing this model!

biotron · Mar 2016

Jesus Christ, anyone else have issues with using image links from imgur? And how the hell do you delete a post on here?

biotron · Mar 2016

Ok, uploaded to artstation and linked the image from there, and that apparently works.

Color pass with some minor changes to the costuming.

Pixelgorilla · Mar 2016

sick!

mcgillchris · Mar 2016

Awesome look!

lotet · Mar 2016

I think the eye should be bigger and have a proper white and iris, other then that its looking awesome.

biotron · Mar 2016

@lotet Didn't make it bigger but tried a couple different irises. I like the idea of a cat style iris. What do you think?

Pixelgorilla · Mar 2016

I'm going with C I like the color contrast much better.

fantasymaster · Mar 2016

C, big black eye, like an alien.

lotet · Mar 2016

I think A or B for me, C looks more like a gem or something and I think your missing out on the whole cyclops part. this is just personal opinion, but if your making a cyclops, the eye is really the big unique thing, so I would really focus on making that a main focal point of the character.

lotet · Mar 2016

@biotron - I made a quick paintover on how I envisioned it when you posted your first sketch, hope u dont mind.

biotron · Mar 2016

I was thinking of the eye being more akin to a spider eye like this image. I feel it gives him a creepier vibe. Thanks for the paintover, though.

fantasymaster · Mar 2016

I like the spider eye idea. The other are to old school.

biotron · Mar 2016

Agreed, Fantasymaster.

WIP Sculpt. Dynamesh phase.

borodin · Mar 2016

goor start

biotron · Mar 2016

More refinement on the body.

lotet · Mar 2016

Looking good! the eye looks much better in 3D!

biotron · Mar 2016

Working out the costuming now.

I've been forcing myself to use zmodeler as much as I can for the base shapes in order to learn it. I like it for the most part, but spinning edges seem to crash consistently. Anyone else use zmodeler much?

biotron · Mar 2016

Armor detailing. Zmodeler for the base.

biotron · Apr 2016

Refining the upper body now.

fantasymaster · Apr 2016

I like this one! Keep fighting till the end, I want to see him finished!

biotron · Apr 2016

Thanks, Fantasymaster. I'm tryin'.

I'm currently thinking about going more stylized with the texture painting, ala Heroes of The Storm, instead of worrying about cramming in micro details into the sculpt, in hopes of saving time and making the deadline.

Knightjordan3d · Apr 2016

very cool design, can't wait to see the texture.

Seavannah · Apr 2016

Love the concept can't wait to see more of this.

biotron · Apr 2016

Finally texturing this guy. Lots of refinement needed.

fantasymaster · Apr 2016

His horn is soo unique, love it!

biotron · Apr 2016

More texture work. Trying to use some PBR but still stylize it a bit.

fantasymaster · Apr 2016

Stylised shapes with PBR shaders on it, will be nice.

BrianDolan89 · Apr 2016

I agree with @fantasymaster comment. Having PBR shaders and some texture to break up how clean it is will really give your character the pop it needs. I can't wait to see what you do with the pose and pedestal. Good luck!

biotron · Apr 2016

Still tweaking the textures and mats. Cloth needs work for sure.

biotron · Apr 2016

The Cyclops of the Royal Guard was chosen to protect the Princess from all manner of dire threats. The queen would not allow anyone or anything, less than the most formidable warriors, protect her daughter. So it was to be, that the King sent his best men to convince the beast that his life was better off serving the needs of the kingdom rather than to live in the mountain regions, hoarding treasures of no real value to a creature. The beast agreed on the condition that only he guard the Princess, and no one else. And so it was.

Final entry! Woohoo. Marmoset Viewer here : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/RzklA
