wow man, what a cool change of direction to put that giant at as a pet and it actually works! I like this stuff a lot, can't wait to see the finished stuff. The only thing I think is missing at this stage is some sort of connection between the girl and her pet, like armor style or something.
Probably my fav example of stylized thick calves and ankles being sexy that i can think of is this guys stuff, perhaps it might help a tiny bit. http://gueuzav.deviantart.com/gallery/
I really love this concept! The toenails especially, please keep those gnarly things! Some revoltingly long fingernails could be interesting as well, like the guinness book of records fingernail guy!
seems like a few of you guys like 17, I'm a little iffy on it. I'm gonna look at accessorizing him, and trying some dif proportions I think, but I'm just not exactly sure where I'm going to go yet, I think i'll decide tomorrow, let this marinate a bit.
Thanks alot guys. muzz- moof is a peace loving critter and a dear friend i dare say.
Liking the femme a lot. Definitely a contender of a design. You planning to add sigil marks on her?
The pet looks ambiguous to me right now. Not really sure from that front on design what kinda beast it really is. I'm leaning towards cute because of the roundness of it, but maybe it supposed to be a K9 type of pet.
If I can make a suggestion with regards to a pet, I recommend a docile monkey looking creature that shares the same inverted pyramid headress as it's "master". Not big like a chimp but a smaller babboon type. And it's un-menacing behaviour contrasts to the girl demon's feline like qualities.
Still here. Started modeling, trying my best through a monster headache. Got most of the rough on Pizna ready. But started real modeling with... Feet! eah, sorry, not very exciting. I promise next update will be better.
MagicSugar> The pet will probably get some changed when I start modeling it. But I'm pretty happy with what it is right now. A nice yin for her yang if you get my drift. There's some elements i have in mind to make them work together a bit more.
But that'll be revealed later.
Thanks everyone who's still been posting which thumbs i should work on
Muzz> dude.. .yes. Cool.
TheDon> thanks dude.
konstruct> Pyramid heads are just in right now I think.
wow dude- that shit is awesome- is there a reason you decided to start with the foot? or is it just sort of arbitrary?
It's like looking at that long road ahead, and looking for the easiest path to start with.
After I blocked out most of it, I was starting to feel like in arrested development; 'I've made a huge mistake'.
Modeling isn't my strongest suite (imo, I keep looking at other people's stuff and get blown away), I'm still learning the ropes in a lot of ways, so I didn't want to bite more than I can chew.
Last shot before bed. Checked proportions, felt it was totally off. I'll have to fix this stuff after the bake. (yeah, the curving is how warped I had to change it...)
Well, I would have to say it's obvious that it's not you that has issues... it's these 3d programs! If only they were more artist-friendly. I'm still waiting for the 3D program "SuperSculpy and a Stick".
Been fixing and tweaking. Add a ton of detail to things, and getting an overall idea of how this all works together. Still a bunch to do, but i think i can finish her sculpt by the end of the week if I don't slack off. That head is just a place holder btw.
Can't wait to do the pet, just get to sit and sculpt... will be fun.
...
someday I'll actually take nice renders of this. :P

Hhaha. Yeah, but it all comes down to the same principles really, and zbrush and mudbox really are just like any other form of sculpting. My time is split between 2D and 3D, so concentrating on one or the other means my mind is always switching out of two modes. I love both though, so I just need to beef up my 3d skills a bit.
The hanging cloth is temp until i figure out how I'm going to do it exactly. There's a couple things here and there I want to touch up on, but I'm going to move on to the pet unless I end up fiddling with things forever.
Is the bottom image gonna be the size of the little guy compared to his master? Cause if so, I'm a fan! I thought he was gonna be a lot bigger, but seeing him this size compared to her, I really like how he feels at that height. (Makes him really cute )
Looking good but I agree with Ferg, the little dude needs the forms pushed more and maybe a little more detail in the sculpt, as it is there are large undetailed areas and no, noise does not count as detail
Try and get more detail into the posterior of the little guy, he needs some skin folds and definition back there so he doesn't look like a mud filled condom.
Mezz> Yeah the little guy is about going to be that size. I'm trying to give him a sense of cuteness. THere's a lot of demon evilness entries, but nothing that takes that evilness and, puts a little twist on it, so I'm glad you find it that way.
AimBiz> Thanks man
Abe> cool hilarious is good.
Ferg+Xaltar> I'll do what you guys suggest. Definitely go back and sculpt some more into the little dude... mud filled condom. lol. Make sure this all bakes down nice.
also i'm working on an art test for the weekend, so next update will be monday I think. Thanks guys, a lot. I'm really trying to get this stuff down, so if anything bugs you, I really love to hear it.
testing normals.
I haven't updated in awhile. Got the bake down, norms and ao. Gonna tweak her shape a bit, make her slightly more like the concept. Textures and shite soon. But need to optimize first... alot.
lol.
I'll post a real update soon as this doesn't really show what I've done here all that well.
Sleep first.
Hrm, it didn't have a diffuse, so it looked silly.
More proper update:
There's actually a mouth setup for the chick so she doesn't have to have it forever closed. Also still a bunch of stuff that needs alpha, although I haven't gotten to that yet.
Man... still have to texture, rig, and make a base.
Jesus moof...
pretty sWEET man- the new horns are way better, and the bake down is fantastic!
the side profile might be a bit lacking, but I`m sure that's nothing a dynamic pose wouldn't solve!

I like the thick ankles.

I fucking love those sketches man.

thanks guys. Where it is at the moment. Not sure bout the leg cross thing. Have to see the rest first though.
I agree, not sure about the leg cross thing either... but everything else is lookin' ACE!
keep it up!

Looks pretty dope thus far, just keep on hammering. Curious how that little monster turns out.
congrats

Pizna and Cerber, the bdsm demon couple.
-Thinking of going with quake colors, and making the sfx green.

[edit] updated slightly with more finished stuff.

Try loading in stormy 2 for the skybox, it will look a lot better methinks.
