Hey guys, first time posting on PolyCount.

Here is the first initial quick sketch of my character. Basic idea behind him is a walking tree/treant like creature which is being controlled by the small girl/pixey/elf thing which is fused into its chest.

Class is still unknown at this time. Artifact power will be Vegetation.

The girl/treant will have tribal/voodoo accessory's such as face paint/tattoos/dangling bits etc.

Might do a few more quick sketches to work out difficult areas, but will start modelling asap.



Cheers

Vanessa Mull

Nice! If it being contolled do you really need to waste polys on a basic fake head. Why not try to substitute it with a large leaf or gnarly part of the tree. The head Just seems too similar to the pixie.

Asmuel

Yes! Good to see you here man, hope to see you posting here more often.

Nice proportions, and the hands are sweet they make me think of the dude from Saw.

We'll it'd still land way under the poly limit as it is, but I agree that you could make something more elaborate for the head.

Cant wait to see more I'll post more suggestions as I think of them.

the tubes on the back are atm bit out of place.. but i like the directon

and welcome here

vivin

Thanks for the comments guys. Ive already had a few people from work point out both the head of the treant, and the random tubes on the back dont look right, but thats fine since both will be going under alot of changes. Just wanted to get my rough idea down on paper

LampRabbit

Nice start Vivian, I reckon the head should stay.. as without it the treant may look more like a suit or a mech. It just needs more design and to fit in with the rest of the body.

good luck

Rick Stirling

Loving the proportions on this, the thin legs and big hands. Can't wait to see more.

Kalvin Lyle

For insiration you should google images of "warforged". It might give you some ideas for some details missing from your sketch, just a thought. The concept is similar, but the integration of the fairie is very unique! I'm eager to see where this one ends up!

vivin

An update on my entry. Spent the weekend still working out the concept and throwing together a quick mesh to get the correct proportions.



Also spent some time figuring out how i want the bark to look. A quick test on what was his shoulder

aesir

sexy proportions!

LampRabbit

Nice, thought you might design the heads before modeling .. oh well. Yeah i like the proportions of your guy and as there are two other treant characters on polycount alone I think your proportions are what sets yours apart.
Good start on the bark... Im liking the direction your taking it.
Have you though anymore about the treants head?

vivin

Just a quick update on the head base mesh. A few things still need changing....Crits and comments most welcomed

Jeremy Wright

Very nice!

Asmuel

The cheek bones look like fungus. Dont know if its intentional or not, but I like it

Indeed, that was the idea behind it we will see if it works or not...

tacit math

good lookin' detail on the shoulder there man. keen to see this progress

vivin

Hey all, Just another update to my dude. I am still working out the features of this guy and thought I would show where im up to with the girl aswell.

basic mesh of the girl:


Updated work to hands and feet, still very low res right now:

seantree

looks great. Can't wait to see more updates.

Smooth_Criminal

Nice base, progress looks cool

vivin

An update on the head of the treant.



I have also done a little more work on him as a whole, will post updates later on

Asmuel

Much nicer face

It looks like it might suit a bulkier frame with that face, though it might be in danger of looking too GOW if you do that. The hairdo is ace

Looking forward to seeing more!
