DWIV - 3D - warriah

warriah

Im in.

Latest Upadate:

jerry

That third one looks like he's an evil genius. This is gonna be great.

Helixx

Is it going to be a demon lord? If so which element do you think you'll go with?

Renaud Galand

OMG

cool idea man !

woogity

wow neat-o man very cool, those things have some great anatomical features
so demon lord = huge...will he have giant barnacle monsters on him to cover his flank and coral armor?

audi100

mwahaha, thx that made my day.

Looking forward what you make of this.

warriah

jerry: hah thanks. im hoping it will.
Helixx: hmm not sure yet, havent gotten that far in my idea/concepting:)
Renaud Galand: thanks alot! i stole your idea with the alchemy thing hehe that program is genius.
woogity: hmm perhaps. i was thinkin some sort of sci-fi shell as a shield for the back but i doubt it.dont know yet
Deathelmz: haha nice one. had a good laugh when i saw it at work this morning.
audi100:thank you.


ok UPDATE time.few thumbs.
gona go with 1 and probably add extra arms that are in 1B so both of em i guess. and the second image is the face itself. something along those lines.
I used Alchemy for these. it works great

also i'l do one more thumb or so, try to see how it will look with 2 feet.



palying with inverted feel.


as far as the design goes, i want it to be more protective and defense more than anything, like a tank bulky type, thus having the shell cover his back and part of his head. i'l research some reference on what i can incorporate in the shell design itself(maybe have some parasites living on the back so when provoked they attack and infect).yes i know it kinda looks like a crab with the legs but thats what i intended. i'l try adding some more isopod theme into him.

now i know its not original because i seen a few of these types in last years war but thats fine with me.

also not sure on what weapon and gear/armor im gona go with so we shall see.

anyway its gona have to wait till after the 30th(freelance work)

oh and C&C is highly encouraged and/or any paintovers! god knows i need it.
Thanks!! and good lcuk to everyone.
(have a feeling PC is gona take it this year hehe)

Deathelmz

Great Work Man Keep Going, Ill be Watchin

warriah

Deathlemz:thanks

ok so small thumbnail update. different take on the creature, but im gona stick with the original idea concept. maybe i'l do some thumbnails for the big guy's parasites that will acompany him. after that, its time to move onto the 3D model

leslievdb

nice thumbs,

i like 1b and the last ones the most
btw nice reference !

warriah

Ravenslayer: cheers!

not really an update, just some more reference/research i wanted to share. get the overall feel for the creature. i dont think i'l have the legs as long as they are in the thumbnails.

still looking for some kind of reference on parasites that he will have and artifact as well.

warriah

im still sticking with the first idea, but here are some thumbs if i ever decide to change my mind.

i think 1D is my fav from the group. monkey/gorilla vibe going on


ps. sorry for the big ass picture.

warriah

ok here we go.

had some time. bunch of different head sketches. i dont think i'l take them further than this.
probably do some more, then start modeling the whole thing.

warriah

settled on this design for the head. let the fun begin

jerry

Sweet, seems like a good choice.

warriah

jerry: thanks, your entry is looking good!

small update.

warriah

basemesh almost done

first picture is his head gear. its not gona be that flat, just blocking it out right now

nrek

looking great so far! Im looking forward to seeing where you go with the details on that big shell since its like a blank canvas just waiting for some awesome.

warriah

nrek:thanks. yah im not sure what im gona end up doing for the back shell. still figuring things out.


well here is an update. tried going with a different head. scraping it for the old one. not feeling it so far.reminds me of the predator haha

warriah

finally sketched out a head that im gona go with.

warriah

tiny update. will probably get more progress by end of the week


cheers.

warriah

chugging along. kinda stuck with helmet design. most likely its gonna be his artifact and/or weapon





C&C is most welcome.

ericdigital

I'm loving this man. Nothing to really crit, just can't wait to see more! The weight and stance behind it are spot on.

gavku

Looks great so far Wariah !...reminds me of the garthim form the Dark Crystal..( which is a good thing )

warriah

ericdigital,gavku: thanks guys:)

lil update on the helmet. need to do some weapon research.

Kessler

Teenage mutant ninja Warlords!! awesome man. Looking cool. I did my first concepts of a warmachine with multi legs... didn't turn out so well. but your is cool Man dude.

tdchiu

Sweetness!!! This is coming along real well.
-tchiu

warriah

kessler: haha funny you mention teenage mutant ninja turtles, a friend said the exact same thing the other day.
tdchiu: slowly but surely.

still working on the legs but almost done the body sculpt, one more level to go if my pc can handle it.
im thinking that his artifact is his giant shell where he gets his powers from.







hmmm, maybe not the best matcap to show it off with.

notebookguy

That would be great to see this thing rigged and animated!

warriah

notebookbuy:if i ever get the time

slacking off latetly

warriah

prety much done the HP, and some early color wip
Team colors didnt work out, since it ended up looking like a ninja turtle heh.

Weapon is almost done too, post that later.




C&C is most welcome as usual.

coldkodiak

Cool dude, I wanna see the weapon. The area between the carapace back and the body could do with some more sculpting imo. That is unless you have a plan for that area via the texture.

shotgun

hope im not too late for the painting phase! i really liked this so i painted on it. u painted the 'welted' area gorey too (i didnt see ur painted post at first).

cool stuff

warriah

shotgun: thanks for the paintover, gives me some ideas with the spots. however i already decided on a color scheme im gona go with.

coldkodiak: yah, its mosty likely gona be slimy , and rest leave to textures.

ok some testing out, nothing final or anything. just messing around in marmoset.




should get the whole guy baked down today and colors too.

warriah

and lowpoly with normal map. oops forgot the teeth.

warriah

polypaint + normal map. maya viewport screenshot

only 9 days left! time to get cracking on texture and spec. and pedestal too+presentations!:(

butt_sahib

Man this looking awesome.
I love everything about it warriah.Very hot normals
Looking forward to updates.

warriah

butt_sahib: thanks alot. did you enter this year?

well got it into marmoset, working on the spec now and weapon, tryin to give it that slimey feeling on some parts, altho its probably too much on these tests. other than the body, everything else doesnt have a spec map, just one color.

shotgun

looks magnificent!

i think some hard orange vs near-black spots on the darkest areas would look great, giving it more character.

Gav

Whoa! Looking really nice man. I agree with shotgun

Ged

looking gooood, I like it all but I think the shell area on the back could look a lot less slimy more like hardened stone/shell

warriah

shotgun,gav,ged: cheers guys! i'l test out the hard orange on the darkest area later tomorro. For the back shell, the only slimey parts are gona be the inbetween skin thats stretching/dark areas. earlier test was all over.

still working on the spec, and i have yet to do the damn pedestal, is it even required?

anywho, some playin around for the beauty shot. its what im gona go for, more or less.



EDIT: hmm looks different on my monitor than on the cintiq

woogity

hey there sir, the colors you have right now are completely rockin, as are the forms. i feel like he could use some sort of texture detailing on the softer surfaces he has there.

nice render btw realy dig the dof on this fella

-Woog

warriah

woogity:thanks man.

update. im almost done, just gotta do the presentation stuff. should be finished sometime tomorrow and then move on.

Gav

So hot, loving it man.

shotgun

Ged

new speculars looking great, the normals on the staff look a bit odd, are they displaying right? or maybe its a smoothing issue? dunno if I agree on shotguns head paintover but its a rough idea I guess.

butt_sahib

Yeah definitely loving the speculars man.
no im not entering this year, this year has been totally hard on me so i couldnt think of entering
teeth are too white tho

woogity

haha beautiful really like his being bathed in light from that weapon!

-Woog

shotgun

i think - woogity - that u r confusing my pic with his post -- it was me who (accidentally) added that 'bathed' light. you mentioning that made me realize i did that (subconsciously) because of that purple specular he had. Which made me realize why i wanted that yellow/orange stuff there -- to compliment the purple...
...which i guess is a matter of taste.
