DWIV - 3D - Spacemonkey

spacemonkey

A little late to the party, but no excuses; started with a 3d thumb sketch to speed things along.

jerry

It seems like she/it is gonna fall over. Who cares though, it looks awesome and freaky.

Haha i made a kiss ass post anyway

ThatDon

about time man.

Gav

Not going to have time this year, he said. Too busy, he said. You're a cock tease, Tim Appleby....

Looking forward to what you cook up

mat

this is definitely another thread to be watching, has a really nice silhouette already
this is gonna be mental to see

indian_boy

can't wait to see what u do this year man.
good luck, and i hope u can finish!

MoP

oh it's on!

you know if you finish this though, you can't be a judge

IronHawk

sweet!

spacemonkey

I always like to start off a sculpt with the head/upper torso to set the feel.

JFletcher

sweet!

where have i seen that face before, lol :P

spacemonkey

The intent was that in the thumb he was rearing up and I guess I watered that down a little too much.



experimenting a bit before locking things down

Cheers
Tim

katzeimsack

n1 !

nice to see you taking part! Looking forward to more

vahl

classy Tim

Bryan Cavett

Looking pretty cool so far. I always enjoy your sculpts. One thing I might suggest is to scale up the bottom portion a lot more in relation to the torso... think it will help make the character feel more imposing.

soda

Nice one!
I realy like first version. Face look like Lord Maul from Star Wars, mayby to much similar.
Spiders foots in first version can be biger, mayby with claws?? Dont know, but is Your choice:]
Secoud version is clasic spider-insect I think worst version.

Nice to see You in DW...... good start^^

woogity

Mantis man! dont know how i feel about the pair of human feet, i think their positioning is strange for me. Glad to see you joining even if its late. i cant wait for your updates you stuff is always stunning.

Looks freakin' sweet -- would like the see the mantis legs a little larger!

Sir Gimp

awesome, you could make those legs on his back much much longer

Renaud Galand

very nice start Tim !!

gavku

Good to see you've joined in man...digging the hooded look.

spacemonkey

Cheers guys,
Bryan Cavett - great suggestion on scaling up!
Woogity - I think the feet will look kinda biblical from the front when his arms are outstretched and his shriveled feet hang there, reinforcing the fact that I feel he is a religious character. I hope it works out ok

JFletcher

thats looking fucking sweet! i like the hooded version best.

now i remember what the face in post #9 reminds me of, jim carrey.

konstruct

knocked a tooth out picking my jaw up off the floor.

foreverendering

I always enjoy seeing new work from you. This guy has really unique anatomy and a lot of potential - great block-in. I agree with JFletcher, the hooded version is the way to go.

NuclearWarrior

Looks 10 times more awesome with the paint-over stuff.

spacemonkey

cheers guy, I guess I have rushed a little bit so I have stepped back and gathered my thoughts on what I wanted from a character. I guess the early idea was based on something I want to do as a personal piece.. which doesn't quite fit with what I want to do for the dwar.

So something a little closer..

coldkodiak

Looks cool. I think that body type, lends to leaning over more than being upright though. Face isn't entirely discernible right now, but looks promising. I think overall it just needs more balancing, but is a good direction to take. Also, maybe, some character defining features a bit more.

You do an awesome entry every time you do dom war, so I have faith you will pull awesomesauce this year too, and it looks like you're on your way

PeterK

Hey Tim,

I gotta say, he looks more like an "alien" now than a "demon". I think the face and hood was a really nice direction for this guy. Anyway, nice progress, I like the body musculature a lot.

JacqueChoi

That's some awesome anatomy you've got going on with this.

Can't wait to see more.


^_^

spacemonkey

coldkodiak, thanks its good input.
PeterK, I think alien, demon its just our perceptions of what is demonic. I guess there are a lot of classical influences and religious connotations to demons which influence our perceptions of what a demon would be however I think in truth its a very open term and imho we shouldn't limit ourselves with the commonly perceived look for a demon.

jox, cheers.

I guess starting late is bugging me, I havent had time to think about my ideas and I dont want to start something unless I feel commited to making it.

zombie spacemonkey and robot minion from dimension K
I'll see how this goes

Psyk0

Haha nice, i always dig your ideas and designs, i'm sure this will turn out awesome!

JFletcher

i c wut u did thar.

looks awesome, digging the umbrella.

r4ptur3

hrmm...

the umbrella seems out of place -- probably the last thing I would imagine shooting off to space with a monkey since it doesn't rain and space suits have protective lenses so you don't get sun burnt ... but other than that this looks effing bad arse. poor monkey ... all alone...all zombie.

Gav

Doesn't rain...uhh...what do you think meteor showers are? (wakka wakka)

Looks cool Tim

JFletcher

it hasnt ever rained in space, but if you ask me, its a bit overdue, this monkey is prepared for the inevitable onslaught of water vapour.
