LPC #4 - Davision3D - SHAWK

Davision3D

I did a lot of scribbles and here is what i decided to make:
The Shawk
A dangerous creature in the air and in the water!


Im a bit late but i think i can do this in time. Maybe i should make it more stylized because of the small 128x128 texture?

Joseph Silverman

that's animal/animal (also awesome), but the comp is supposed to be animal/thing.

Davision3D

You scared me, luckily you are wrong!

Here's the catch: mix an existing or mythical creature with some sort of object or other creature

oh, you're right. Coulda' sworn it was originally just object, nevermind.

Here are my other Ideas:

rooster

i like the shawk, like you say styliesd would be cool (maybe have the head much bigger, and the wings just able to support the weight of the jaws. a sharks tail instead of the birds would also rock

cholden

Yea, shark hawk, that's badass. For additional badass, I suggest; sunglasses, a cigar, the still beating heart of a child in his talons, a leather jacket, razor blade feathers, one of those general's hats.

Here is the model:


thx for the ideas.
Did it a lot more stylized and i made a multifunctional tail, shark and hawk tail. Teeth looking funny now because of the missing alpha, have to do lot of alpha stuff.
I have no polys for additonal badasse cholden, but your ideas are very cool!

RavenTheBird

wait for the texture , 128x 128 is abit hard for it

Emil Mujanovic

The shark's head looks really tacked on and out of place. Sure, a shark head doesn't actually belong on a hawk's body, but it just looks oddly placed.
Here's a quick paintover (well, 30 seconds of liquify in Photoshop :P) of how I would have tackled attaching the head. In the end, its up to you.


Love the concept though.

rooster

agree with casey, but damn thisll be funny

Davision3D

Thx for the paintover, looks much better now.
I also deleted the hawk tail, made the wings smaller and most importantly painted the texture.

I think he is ready for attack.

Japhir

wooow! great style! i didn't see that one coming! great stuff!
you might want to move the back fin a bit to the front though.
again great stuff! keep it up!

Mtg_kirin

very nice and funny. I would be scared :eek;

bgghh

wow, that texture is spun out. the model is mighty impressive too. The feet/legs look a little odd hanging at an angle like that, but that certainly is a very minor thing.

rooster

quality stuff

jaalto

Awesome!

Davision3D

thx!

major pimpness, Davision.

I agree that the dorsal fin looks a bit awkward with how far back it is. I'd move it forward about 1 length. And the feet kinda look like they have a pretty square pattern to their layout rather than the 3-front 1-back.

Davision3D

Changed
You were so right, a real shawk dorsal fin is in the middel, it gets a bit lost between the wings but its definite better. Feets are also changed.

Emil Mujanovic

Really well executed, dude!
Definitely one of the best textures in this challenge and one of my favourite entries as well. Great job and good luck.
