fightpunch - cheers fightpunch
Joolz8000 - thanks joolz!
jfletcher - thanks Jfletcher
Goon - thanks Goon! Maybe try and do the bishop concept but i'd want to make him entirely out of insects and that would kill me off for the comp deadline:)
here are some developed thumbs from 5, 6 and 2. i think they're the most robust and have lots of interesting noodly bits
1. gargantuan hellish pit champion, breathes in air and blows out flames, really like the giant face pads on dominant male orangutans so that's what is going on there
2 mixing 5 with 6 and adding bits
3. the hungry king, kind of see this guy being huge and practically all mouth. bleached white glowy skin and lots of tattered kingly finery, hanging bones threaded through his clothing. has a partially gnawed human in one hand like that saturn picture by goya. maybe has odd specialised flaying implements/cutlery/condiments about his person
4. magister tanglehorn, chirpy legal advisor to the dukes of hell. Rough, not really going to develop this more
5. the alien queen! ah ffs
going to blow up 1 and 3 and do further variants i think.
I really like the head shape of no.2 and the headgear of no.4!
Given the idea behind no.3 he lacks a sense of scale, at the moment all of these are rather general in their proportions so dont really give off the super smexy overbearing feeling they should!
All of these look fucking awesome though, cant wait to see moreeeeee
The idea of the third one is great. The huge mouth kind of reminds me of a gulper eel with teeth. Plus the fact that it has a half-gnawed human somethingorother in it's hand is always a crowd pleaser. I'm sure which ever you pick will look great because they all have promise. Keep at it.
thanks everyone i'm going with a sort of composite of the best bits
acidlehman - thanks!
jackwhat - yeah good point, i'll try and bring the scale out more. I think he'll be roughly 17-18ft high so maybe have a few bones and such at that size
rooster - thanks rooster!
nyndown - thanks!
gavku - cheers gavku, want to have a nice range of materials and textures to him, don't want him to look too homonogenous
stjoris- cheers!
modeling_man - thanks BP, where is your thread!
helixx - good idea on the gulper eel, i was kind of thinking it would just be permanently open but it might close like that
mezz - thanks mezz!
ironhawk - thanks ironhawk and has nipple piercings
chaoseidolon - thanks man, i will add more to the crown, thinking now it will be tangled along his horns with a sort of depraved art nouveau/ elfy style
rasmus - thanks rasmus, great work on your undersea steamsuit!
Okt -thanks okt, will probably play around with the horn shapes on the model a bit more, quite like them to be slightly square and unnatural
Ged - thanks ged
Goon - hehe thanks, horns are the new shoulderpads this year and shoulderpads are the new glowy bits
kamui - thanks kamui
woogity - cheers woogity
Bobo - thanks Bobo! brilliant prelim sculpt in your thread
Jox - thanks jox, maybe not that awesome
seven - thanks seven
foreverending - thanks man, loved your entry last year
ninjas - thanks ninjas, still trying to figure outhow to hang robes from the horns
Kite212 - hehe cheers kite212 been meaning to say hello!
notebookguy - thanks yes
the hungry king
Idea is that in life he was a cruel elf king or something like that who one winter led an army up into a treacherous range of mountains in pursuit of a peasant uprising. Stranded there by storms he survived by eating all his heirs and retainers. So because of that and a bunch of other nasty stuff he now wanders the chilly slopes of mount erebus in hell, searching for mortal adventurers to sate his neverending hunger for warm flesh. Think his crown will have some sort of cold based superpower, going to have a big bulging back with something nasty going on there too. he's slightly derivative of the ringwraiths but different enough to work i reckon
silhouette covered in colour and still very much wip :
Won't be able to get anythign more done until the weekend but pretty firm on direction now. the forum is moving too fast!
So far these are the best ideas I've seen across the boards. I'm glad you picked the hunger king he was my fav. How are you going to get the forum colors or green tooth in the design?
Amazing, love the look of it I think the tattered ruffles around his neck and poof on the arms is a great detail for the believability of this character
The mouth reminds me a lot of your mini-comp entry. But with that said, looks really amazing in this piece.
woods - thanks woods!
kongni - so do i, would make a nice change
r4pture - thanks r4pture!
Bryan Cavett- cheers bryan, i'm not too sure actually, the colour scheme i'm planning is rusty iron armour covered in frost, all his clothing will be cream/silver/white, skin blotchy white with black spots of frostbite. probably i'll integrate greentooth into the crown and do some subtle colour balancing at the end to make it a little greener
chaoseidolon - thanks chaos, i'll keep messing with the horns, i've screwed them up a little trying to account for perspective
mezz - thanks mezz! yeah definitely robbing the minicomp entry for ideas hehe
diwan - thanks diwan!
deathbychris - cheers chris
sir_gimp - I can't help it Brian, it's a deep rooted freudian thing, possibly going back to childhood. Even tried alchemy and every sketch ended up as a penize monster or a vagine monster
hot dog dude!
Now you GOTTA finish it this year! No excuses!
You might want to toy around with some more color in his armor, but for now get to modeling:)
B
Legen- so yea this is a sweet idea! I love the story and the jaw design is awesome, he could eat most of the characters in wip in one bite! The crown is brilliant, will be great if it clashes with his dilapidated armor, and looks all fancy like some elven jewelry or something. i think some of the sword shilouettes in the prievious thumbs were a bit more interesting than the one shown here, but its so wippy right now im sure your not done with anything. huge tuft of fir or quills might be cool on his back, u would know better than anyone tho! -Dary!
Replies
but they all look cool.
lol im glad im not the only one that he has that effect on...
and yes 4 is my vote as well.

brilliant stuff man, i'll be following you now.
Given the idea behind no.3 he lacks a sense of scale, at the moment all of these are rather general in their proportions so dont really give off the super smexy overbearing feeling they should!
All of these look fucking awesome though, cant wait to see moreeeeee
5 feels a little too zerg/aliens to me.
Fantastic stuff dude.
B
I would push the crown if you do though...i feel like it needs to match his strangeness.
+1, although the headpiece on 2 is pretty out of the ordinary and interesting to look at.
at least that's what got me excited lol.
-Woog
- BoBo
Agreed++++
2s head on 4's body.
XD
It's as awesome as mixing Dolly Partons chest, with J-Lo's Butt.

Hope you have the time to finish this year!
j/k -- AWESOME detail work and concept.
Careful that you don't lose the rhythm you had for the horns in the thumbnail. That was the strongest element of the silhouette for me.
Shaping up nicely man, looking forward to seeing more.
The mouth reminds me a lot of your mini-comp entry. But with that said, looks really amazing in this piece.
The vagina mouth might be a bit to much though. Sorry, just had to say it...

although the crown has a slight tiara thing going on.
cant wait for more.
