The last mother

Macridil · Mar 2016

FINAL SUBMISSION
"She’s known by many names: beast, death-bearer, but the natives of that planet call her "the Last Mother". Last of her kind, hunted by the settlers greedy for the supplies her body can provide, the Last Mother ceaselessly protects with her two sets of arms the only hope for her species: two creatures –meant to be the rulers of that world– lie in her womb. But the hunt won’t stop, and the beast must defend herself at all costs to survive and give birth to her children. Alone, vulnerable and constantly persecuted, she will fight any creature crossing her path"

Here's my first idea, in the belly will be an egg or some sort of it. the second pair of arms always protects the egg (or the baby), no matter what's the situation, the mother will always hug and protect his unborn baby.

diffuse test, not sure about the palette

Nice work, love his silhouette! I think a two tone color pallet might work best. Red and white, green and red, or green and white. Right now it seems like the colors clash and create too much visual noise across the character. I would also pull back the ambient occlusion or normal map (not sure which one is more active) just a little bit. Do what you think looks best, Good luck!

Macridil · Mar 2016

tanks @melli06

i'll try to follow your color tips, thanks ! you're right the ambient occlusion is a bit too strong, good luck and good work to you !

I really love the concept. Not sure how you are going to make this Beast look warm and moving to make her seem to be in love. Can't wait to see it finished.
There is just one thing bothering me albeit a great sculpt it seems more male than female. The muscles of the arms and a bit of the chest too even with the 4 breasts. If you are going for female with male attributes which would also make it a bit crazy beast wise then never mind my crtique please.
Do love the face in that sense looks soft around the edges and more female. I do love the eyes and if you can make them read I truly love then I think this will be one of my favs for sure. Great luck to you. <span>

Macridil · Apr 2016

thanks a lot @Seavannah ! I really appreciated it, I'll do my best to improve the beast

Man the specular works wonders for him and I like the new color scheme!

thanks ! do you think that the base is "on theme" ? i was working on a "lava floor" but i prefer this version

Pixelgorilla · Apr 2016

It's hard to tell what the liquid is (looks like some kind of green slime). Perhaps it could have some type of emissive channel?

Nice renders! I don't know if it's only me but when I saw her I thought about Evolve beasts. I think it's a good connection

Wayfray · Apr 2016

Good work! Although, your tri count for the beast seems like it should be higher.
Edit: never mind, maybe not.

melli06 · Apr 2016
