Kamui

Nice, a demon cyborg.. cool beans. nice idea.

Zatoichi

weird, I wasn't sure what I was looking at at first. At first I thought it was a helmet with legs.

Now I see where his head is at. Let's see some more concepts!

audi100

Walking hand? hell yeah.
Great start, keep pushing it

55joe

thanks guys. a bit stuck on concept so i started blocking the him out while i modify the concept in 2d and 3d

55joe

trying to sort out the larger tech shapes. his weapon will be a demon bayonetted flame thrower and a welding sheild. i think im going to pose him like a horse on it shind legs and a twisted torso.

bounchfx

unique idea! It tripped me out that it looks like a hand. great job!

rooster

nice unique concept! keep it up

55joe

thanks guys. i really thought the design was too typical but im glad you guys think its not.

James Edwards

Definitely liking the upper body. Love the hand-like lower body =]

Pixolpopper

The profile silhouette is very cool. It'd be creepy as hell to see this thing moving. Keep it up.

Zugu

I like the way its heading. The cleaned up upper body is much easier to read now. I think you lost something in the legs though. They all have the same thickness right now, but Im sure that will change when you start sculpting on them. Keep it up.

55joe

thanks guys, update at top
just trying to clean the design up for a morme clear view of what im doing
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4083/fuckingfuickfuckcopyn.jpg
im going to make the thing attatched to his head a tech parasite. so the tech parasite finds demons/norms, attatch themselves into their brain/spinal corde and have complete control of them. if the parasite is killed or removed it kills the host as well

55joe

hell tech priest up top

notebookguy

cool

konstruct

whooa- that thing is great! I really liked the pope hat and robe in the first one. It clashes nicely with the tech bits. It might be interesting to try making him levitate, so his legs dangle all creepily/

Wicked-J

55Joe: a demon captured by the robots, cpu implanted into his brain to control him! improvements to his body made where possible. weapon is a flame thrower

I liked the whole evil hellish demon priest feel, with the bishop hat. He's a mixture of Demon and Machine though... Correct me if I'm wrong, I though you couldn't mix races?

I just want to mention something early in the competition so work and progress isn't all for nothing just in case cyber demons are prohibited (because it is a mixture).

55joe

thanks a bunch guys .
to wicked J
it does say you cant cross races however the cyborg race says living body parts fused with machine. it has no restrictions on how much body part or what type you use. mine is living body parts infused by machine, the entire torso/spine is tech and holds it all together.
the description of this dude changes everytime i sketch on it so the final idea isnt even what i stated above. i hope by the time i finish i can work out my description enough to not be dQ'd.
i mean i could say hes a cyborg the machines created to lead hordes of demons to their doom since he is dressed like a spiritual leader. i have cordes going into his head a tech spine and tech torso, how much more cyborg can ya get.
i dont get how you could even make a cyborg by the rule deffinition. if you made a terminator half human half machine, isnt that half norm half machine? same kinda mixing.

Wicked-J

Yea, I guess the rules are always a bit "filled with holes". Lope holes are quite abondant when it comes to DW and character creation. Well good luck man, interested to see how this progresses.

55joe

thanks tho! i should proly email someone at dom war about it just to make sure.
added head sketch from zb tonight at top.

Zugu

I like some of your new ideas. The new face looks cool.

Things got a little busy though and the tech is making less sense. Maybe you could integrate a little more tech into the arms so he doesn't feel like a demon with body armor.

BTW - what happened to his "on" button?

55joe

thanks zugu. i have updated the the sketch and i think im going to begin modeling

55joe

started on head

conte

that's some hell machine indeed!

55joe

head sculpting

55joe

general modeling pass on the whole guy

55joe

sculpting on the head a bit more

55joe

well i blew a good 6 hours today on trying to figure out why max re orders the points on all my zb meshs. i have not found a good workaround yet. so i have cheated and moved the body to the head. if anyone has a good pipeline for taking meshs from zbrush to max and back to zbrush agian please tell me!
update
edit removed suck pic

Zwebbie

Looks great! One thing that bothers me is that his head is smaller on the model than it is on the concept, and I think its size currently doesn't do it enough justice.

55joe

thanks. i agree, the head scale is way off cause i couldnt get the head tool to take the new mesh so it would move. but i think i have finally after 7 hours uncorrupted my head mesh
made it bigger as suggesed
edit removed pick cause of suck

55joe

enlarged head and fixed other proportions on the model not shown here.

Pixolpopper

Looking cool 55Joe. The details on the face are coming together nicely. One thing I'm not sure on is the fancy filigree on the collar. It might contrast well with the rest of the design but right now it feels out of place. Some runic design or more tech/fantasy designs might work better. But hard to say. It's definitely nicely modeled. Keep goin.

Tumerboy

PIRATE POPE!

55joe

thanks guys. did some tech tonight, since hes cyborg he needs some sorce of energy to run himself so i put a small star on his back. going to sculpt and texture it like the sun.

woogity

sold thats freakin cool!

-Woog

55joe

thanks woogity. i have been very busy lately so i have no spent nearly as much time as i would like to on it, i am messing with his tech style and hand type as well. i think the hand is too big atm

James Edwards

Sweet! The detailing in the hand is really going to sell this one for me.

55joe

thanks gwot
changed arms and hand position/sculpt

kolbyjukes

Looking really good Joe, looking forward to updates.

Killaball

Everything is looking quite sexy so far, only thing that jumped out is how large the back part of his jaw is. It might be a stile you are going for if so nice, it just jumped out at me as looking a bit off at first.

But that could not even matter if and when its all put together.

55joe

thanks a bunch guys. killaball i did enlarge the jaw on purpose.
i didnt like where it was heading, i felt i was way to far from the original concept so i went back and redid some parts this is wehre i am currently at, the arms are still very vvery rough

konstruct

Waaagh this is such a bizarre entry- I looove it.

there's only two things that irk me-

the first being his upper torso/delts seem too huge- in sort of a generic, rambo/GOW type of
way. maybe keep the huge forearms, but make the upper arm fairly emaciated.

I REALLY like the idea of the finger legs, but something is off, maybe try going for a bonier look-
maybe have the lower parts have the flesh smashed off so only bone is showing- or as lame as this
might sound on paper, some finger armor?

I love the varierty of surface and materials this will most likely have at the end.

Ashleigh

I am really loving this, the fingers look really cool but maybe if they got all gnarled up a bit that would look cool. I could totally see this guy limping healthily through a battlefield, if that makes any sense. Can't wait for more!

55joe

i agree guys, really gotta mess up his hands. and the arms were way off as well i have made some large changes to the proportions and modeled in some tech
after posting this i realized the chest to spine transition is too boxy, but it has been taken care of!

ThatDon

Dude this is creepy cool, konstruct was right on the money with all of his crits.

55joe

thanks thatdon, i have adjusted many things and i think the back tech is complete.

55joe

also some new leg sculpt

FeralGrin

nice! I love the eye on the papal mitre!

notebookguy

nice work on the details

55joe

thanks a bunch guys,
busted up his legs and did some more hand and cloth
