DWIV - 3D - slum

Slum

Originally I wasn't going to enter, because my kid is due right in the middle of the competition... but I got hit with a wave of inspiration.

There's pretty much no way I can let myself not make this.



Name: Aleck de'Buro
Race: Cubicron (Norms)
Class: Warlord

Backstory:

Harnessing the power of his father's magical Electian Crown, (and matching codpiece), Aleck de'Buro is a fierce and swift warrior. The lightning-infused crown (and matching codpiece) grant him great magical defense, while his pistol serves as a direct tool for smiting his wicked foes.

(special thanks to the lovely Konstruct for letting me borrow the whiteboard in his cubicle)

conte

lulz)

Slum

I wasn't going to work on this last night..but I got bored, so I started goofing around with the boot. Did a quick 1hr subd model, then decided it was too "medieval" looking. A quick paintover during lunch, and it's better... Added the ubiquitous "Gundam ankle guard" and it's instantly 5000 years older.

Oh yeah, and tube socks.




I know the buckles are ass-backward, but that's what happens when you decide to start modeling at 3:30am. They'll probably end up baked down to maybe 30x30px anyway, so all it really needs is the suggestion of function.

Also, I decided I'm going to scrap the pistol and go for dual-wielded shortswords/knives. I envision this guy hopping around like crazy on the battlefield, flailing his little nubby arms and legs in a swift whirlwind of blood and destruction.

Jesse Moody

Oh man. Win!!!!!

Can't wait to see more!!!

konstruct

haha awesome

mat

+1 lol factor. classy little dude you got going

Snowfly

Tube socks? Now he's just drifting into Spongebob territory...And his shoes match the codpiece too?

I wanna see it all together...

Slum

awsnap, yeah I guess spongebob does have tubesocks. I'll probably lose that, then. He's already too spongebob like, and I dont want that comparison to come up that much.

Cojax

Looking great dood!

Firebert

WTF man? You down for the count?!? Put that baby down for a little while and bust a move on this guy! All they do is eat, sleep, crap, pee, crap, pee, eat, crap, sleep, pee, eat, & crap. They also don't jump off the coffee table and nose dive into your nuts yet either, they just lay there unless you piss 'em off or if they're hungry. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your fellow new dad,

- Josh

p.s.- if you don't have a swing, get one. those things are crack for babies.

konstruct

LOL ^

Slum

Yep, sorry guys.. I had to bail. This whole "raising a human" surprisingly thing takes up a lot of time.

rats78

hahaha...i hear that dude. There should be a special category for 'Dads'. I'm burnt out doing late nights for this comp. Doubt i'll finish...hopefully you'll have more time next year when the little dude isn't keeping you up every 3 hours. : )

Spark

Hahah, yeah I like that idea, extra time for dad's who have alot of time taken up doing diapers and such! Well sorry to hear your dropping out man, but know why you need to:) Enjoy your time with the little one!!

Spark

Firebert

Ah, I hear ya man. It is a lot of work. I've been getting about 4 hrs of sleep, maybe, for the entire day. This is why I didn't enter this year. Maybe next year will settle down a little.:)
