looking good man, love the baby on top of the staff. Personality i think the baby jars are a little big, they make your guy feel smaller. Maybe tinier with having them hang off his back piece instead of flying around on his staff? You might also add some random hanging bits along with them, giving it a tad of the voodoo feel with charms, etc.
As far as the heads, B and C are my favs. Maybe having B with little insect arms pulling the corners of the mouth open farther, like they wanna get souls in that mouth, REAL BAD!
I think B is the most terrifying in an animal kind of way, but C looks like it has more human intelligence to it. Depends on what you want the character to be like.
nice line art!
great work Spark! I like D much, maybe if you put up a vicious smile on him he ll even look nastier. Congrats on being a new dad btw, I hope your baby look cuter than those .
Hey guys, wow thanks for the quick and kind reply's, and I agree that D is a little to sad so I might have to go back and make him mean:).
WickedFingers: Yeah C was my first shot, and think I spent the most thought on him.
Slum: Thanks man, out of the 2 I like A
Murdoc: Thanks
RazorBladder: Haha, yeah when I looked at him again, he did look like that:)
8FtSpider: Preciate the look.
Rollin: Thankyou for the compliment, I am going for evil monster, so will have to push that, and keep playing with the variations and new heads.
Onelung: Thanks for the feedback, and reduced the size of the artifacts, along with making him taller.
Randommonkies: Yeah C has a more intelligent feel to him, where B is animalistic.
Wizo: Thanks, D needs some more work, making him more pissed for sure:) Thanks also on the congrats, as I am looking forward to it!
Kary: He does look bored as well as D, might have to add anger to him.
Thanks again guys for the great feedback, and I also put head B on him, along with making him taller in this one and reducing some of the noise going on behind on his back. Let me know if that helps or makes things worse if you can, thank you in advance!
One thing to think about is last year I believe you said your entry was too ambitious technically, though I might be remembering it wrong or out of context. This dude seems even more ambitious, so just be sure not to stretch yourself too far with the amount of stuff you have to make and how much time it will take to execute, I know your already a busy guy. It could be a piece of cake for you, I'm just trying to get you to take it into consideration
Great stuff! This will be very interesting to see how it is iterated into 3D. I'll follow it to see how you approach various elements in your piece. Nice work!
Your definatly going EPIC!!! but I know you can pull it off...and when you do, all will bow down..or at least I will. great design, I always love tentically stuff(if thats a word) .
Just wanted to post an update, as I finished a part for this guy. Figured I would get the skull out of the way, but still plan on doing some variations to it, as I will probaby have human skulls( dead and parts of armor ) and then some more alien skulls maybe for the tentacle legs. Now I just need to finish up the rest of the skeleton for parts:) Any comments and crits always welcome.
Sweet skull!
Maybe give it some damage? I always see perfect cg skulls, but I've rarely seen real skulls that perfectly preserved. The lower jaw is usually the first thing to fall off, if that helps
The skull is very well done and seems extremely accurate to a human skull. I agree that incorporating variations of a skulls would enhance the entirety of the piece. Alien skulls, animal skulls perhaps, etc. I might also suggest breaking them apart, some without jaws, some with the skull caps missing, leave them far from perfect to accentuate the creepy and horrific details in the overall character. Nice work so far
wow, fearsome looking character! i love how balanced all the elements are. i do agree about the skull being less idealized, but going by the concept, it looks like you already have that figured out.
Spark that concept is total ftw! I love the sculpting too, but I think you should figure out the colour scheme on that beasty early on. You have the skills to easily pick up a prize so dont leave part of the most important things till the end! (I know I always seem to..)
this is the first time i've ever posted to polycount...and holycrap i'm glad this is the piece i'm poppin my cherry to. simply awesome. i prefer head B but with the snout protruding a bit more cuz it looks a bit thin. reducing the size of the artifacts was a killer idea...makes him look more dominating. again man, freakin sweet. i wanna see more!!

Bunch of diahrea thoughts, cool as usual.

I love head #2, the skull looks sick, the baby idea is creepy and cool.
Great stuff man, I will be watching this one close.
i can't stop staring at the concept sketch, hehe.
