But I'm currently trying to take as much time as I can to invest into the challenge. Currently I have no internet at home, so it's not that easy to get the pictures to work, to load them up.
Anyway, these are my thumbnails from the last week.
I was trying to find out, what kind of creature it will be.
I'll try to accelerate the progress.
I'm sorry, I whish I could have loaded them up earlier.
My current favorite thumbnail:
So here are some progress-sketches. some the first ones are crap, but I think I like the idea of this siamese creature casting a time bend-sphere in the last picture.
I'll try to work that out...
and again, thanks for you support Gauss!
It still needs a bit of pimping, but I think I'll stick with this idea...the final concept will come tomorrow (hopefully).

Here are some updates for the heads. I tried to make them more different, but somehow the same species.
Maybe you can halp me with some ideas. I want the first one to look more like he has huge mental powers (that's also why he has such a huge head/brain), and the other one should be agressive, because he is the one with the gun (gun will follow).
My plans to add:
- Energy-stream-connections like those wing-like things that are indicated on the 3rd image. For the left half, they will lead the energy to the brain-head/arm and to the weapon.
- weapon
- some nice armor...I don't want to leave it like naked. (This will be important, I think)
a dirty sketch
But woohoo finally I can start modeling.
Here's some first roughing out of the heads.
I experimented a bit around, how it's the easiest way to sculpt them in zbrush and I think I got it now.
How would you do it, to weld together the body parts ?
My plan is to do every part that is not covered with armor separately. I hope that works.
Also struggling a bit with the clavicle area, since there are two heads, but only two arms.
(in advance: please don't think I wasted time, by extra creating a light-setup for that wip...I got already a light-scene with the sss shader, where I just throw everything in.)

I redid the heads, because I found it easier to sculpt smaller parts in Zbrush. the seams will be coverd with armor anyway.
The heads are pretty much final. Eventually I will add some fine folds in the end, but this is only nice to have at the moment.
Some very rough body scutlpting. It's currently symmetrical, so i'll scale down the left arm later, because it should be more skinny.
And nice shader! What are you rendering it in?
The shader is just the fast sss skin shader in max, but I think I'll make just screenshots in the future from the viewport of this thing, because the meshes become pretty heavy to render.
You are right with the hands, I should have left a hole on the ends, but that doesn't matter, because the strong arm will have the huge weapon on it and the weak arm will wear an armor-glove.
there's also multires on nearly any zbrush-stuff, for performance reasons in max so it looks pretty crappy.
I'll insert the highres body, when it's finished.
The Arms look pretty weird at the moment. I think they are too big/long.
I'm trying to get the highpoly-model finished until tuesday.
Some areas are still naked (especially shoulders)...
but i would try to keep the body with armor bit tighter like in the concept than bulk it up.. kinda happen realy fast while modelling
keeepon
gonna burninate the cgtalkers lol
