@ culpin: clickie clickie!
@ woogity: yeah, I agree. I want to take the rest it him to that level -- I wont spend too many tris there for the remesh but I didn't want to leave it feeling barren.
@ zwebbie: drool is totally going in there, as well as bits of fodder. Probably gonna be a ZBrush thing. @BC3D: thank you so much for the sweet idea. I'm going to develop more on that tonite!
@ postjudice: thanks dood!
more progress. hooked all the worm's parts up and adjusted spike sizes. also messed with frontal spike things...will probably add 2 more large ones and a few smaller ones. Added nails, ooze and reins. also flipped the tail ... I think it does more for the silhouette this way.
@weisheng : thank you! @foreverendering : also, thank you say hi to your new guy (Ioannis) for me :P
@ woogity : ty ty
@ culpin : YOUR ooze is awesome!
tried to add more character tonite -- added dental floss, nom nom treats (in barrel, going to have some sort of bone paint on it), a silver tooth (he is going to have massive scarring and effed up gums around that one), stirrups, a random rag and more horns to the worm to make him feel more noble and smart. Almost time for sculpting. I want to add some sort of lance or metal picks as a remnant of the rider but I can't find a place to squeeze them in. I am removing the rider's body completely -- I think it is working well without him and it'll just suck up much needed triangles. A well placed gore stain will probably achieve the same effect.
@culpin: 40 or 50k -- everything is reinforced and ready for sculpting. The poly count doesn't matter at this point since I will be remeshing once the high res sculpt is done. You can expect to see some sculpting updates this weekend @konstruct: thanks dude I am hoping to add some more of that around the worm.
hahaha that's awesome man, i have to agree the slime on the teeth really add to the whole design. Also a big fan of the strap work, can't really find anything out of place in the piece.
exported everything to ZBrush and took care of splitting this thing into parts to get max resolution. Started with some sculpting on a few of the teeth, gums, barbed wire and some of the lips.
edit: @everyone above, I almost forgot to thank you for your kind words and encouragement! Thank you!!
I love the way you have approached this Dominance War mate, great little concept, nice low poly modelling and by the looks of it you'll end up with a nice zbrush sculpt. Top draw stuff!
his teeth really make me happy, they're like wooden planks! The lower lip feels a little flat, but the detail level is awesome Honestly, I really really like this model.
one massive image @216K, coming right up! Thank god for "save for web". Working my way to the back. Going to tackle the Nom Nom for the first week, then the worm for the second. I'm aching to work some asymmetry in there ... going to resist until everything is properly blocked out.
@woogity: ty, ty -- i'm on a two teeth a day for a week diet @bal: thank you very much! @culpin: you're coming with me across the finish line, like it or not :P @gavinneil: thank you sir @vailias: gratsi @mattQ86: textures...*shiver* will be fun, but a lot of work to go! @rasmus: thanks! @herekitty: oh, we're going there! @haZE: will do @Mongrelman: going to play with the feet/nostril thing, thanks! @conte: likewise! @Drywall: yeah, i totally agree -- going to mess with that once I get everything blocked out. ty for the crit!
I think you've got a bitchin silhouette and a great overall design, but the sculpt could use more specific muscle details. Right now it looks like you're just giving it a generic overall dino skin treatment, dont be afraid to really go in there and bust out some tendons and muscles between the major forms.
Great work! I can imagine the beast suffering under the worm stings.
I wonder what kind of eye you will choose for that naughty worm
(staring at the beast or seeking for a prey, may be?).
Fure fure r4ptur3 !
@Ferg: ty so much, I am going to push as much as humanly possible. Starting to asymmetrically sculpt now so I can focus on that. @garagarape: you know, I hadn't thought about it much, but I suppose it's time >< ty for bringing that up! @solar: thanks @belltann: thanks dude! I check your post constantly for updates :P @paroXum: thank you so much! @JFletcher: *high five* Added some chin folds -- going to try and push folds much more in the next few days. I am not sure about the 2x4...but I did add a silver tooth It's going to be the one right below the gum damage / lips with stitches. I figured he got mauled by some enemy just before his rider was killed so they had time to patch him up. @konstruct: Leaving the horns for last -- might take a stab at some paintovers and see what i can come up with. I don't want to detract from the mouth too much but I do want to explore the horns more if I have time. Thanks for the suggestion!!
As always, thank you all for the constructive crits and kind words. I have until Saturday to finish the Nom Nom, then until next Friday to finish the worm and spit shine.
coming along awesomely! the detailing on the skin and teeth is great!. also the straps and such have subdivided very nicely. cant wait to see what u have in store for the worm.
I know it looks pretty much the same, but I spent the last few days sharpening up details and sculpting teeth. The next week is going to be spent on the worm and nom nom gear. I still want to explore the horns ... gonna be tight on time.
@JakeLV426: Hey man! Found you on GA -- mutiny and fight for Poly Count @culpin: I don't mind - he eats a lot! @Davidskiwan: thank you! I am itching to have this printed out at work so I loaded him up with as many accessories as possible. @NyneDown: Thanks!! @Snowfly: haha thank you @woogity: still need to add slime for the worm... more to come this week! @onelung: ty ty @notebookguy: thanks :P @fei-rukawa: gracias
Looking very cool man. Only crit I have is that the knees of the back legs look a little funky from the back view. From sides it seems all good though Looking forward to more, time seems to disappear quickly, hehe

he be flossin yo
Edit - the reason i ask...is to see how much room you have to add things.

Great concept! I think turning the front feet in a bit more and maybe a couple of little nostrils might help give it slightly more character.
Keep it up.

One of the most original entry I saw
one thing keeps springing to my mind, i keep imagining a 2 by 4 lodged in (or one of) his teeth!
detail is excellent, loving this thing
maybe add a couple folds under the mouth/chin?
