Mr Monster

Ferg

Feels like it's been forever since I posted any 3d on here. Been workin on this guy on and off for the last month, been through several iterations and failed ideas. My first polypaint model as well. Final renders are from max, bit of a rush job but I'm happy with how it came out.

[shameless plug] Special thanks to the nice guys at valkyrie for the basemesh and help with the beauty render. [/shameless plug]

I made him as an excersize in creating a generic boss monster type creature (though this is pure high poly, not game-res). Scary as hell but with a vulnerable spot that you've gotta nail with your bow and arrow or whatever to take him down (that would be the bulbous bits on his stomach).




and a couple random WIP shots...

Yeoowch, I can see why he's so angry.

Great job dude, is this game ready? ( <-- you answered this, I just didn't pay attention)

Nice work, reminds me of the Loki Character at the end of Ghouls n' Ghost (Megadrive/Genesis) combined with the giant slug creature from the same game, where you had to run along its back and destroy the big pulsating pus filled globules to kill it.

Great stuff.

That's pretty awsome, I think the changes you made between your WIP and final are great. Especially getting rid of the upper lip and nose. Makes him immeasurably more creepy.

Ferg, that is awesome!

Looks great. :thumbup: I would not want to run into him in a dark room

Great Work Ferg! I really love the feeling of tension you were able to sculpt into the skin and muscle sacs. The only real crit I have is that I wish there was a more noticable color difference between the skin and the bones/teeth. But again great work dude, I look forward to seeing some more 3d stuff from you.:)

Loren Broach

wow this looks amazing. I like how much thought you put into this. Good job!

Hey Ted! This is looking fucking tip top. I would definitely encourage one last go of it, though. Seperate out the materials a bit more. Give that skin a little more variation. Right now the skin in colored form is looking a bit too concretey and the skin/teeth are not all that seperate.

Again, the sculpt is rad. Just a weeeeeeeeeeeeee bit more.

Looking sick dude! Love the design of the head!!! :O

Nice work man...he looks like a pissed of hemorrhoid. Not that I would know what one of those looks like or anything

Really inspiring stuff

When I saw the thread title I was expecting this http://img269.imageshack.us/i/mrmonster5.jpg/

But I do like your monster. He's looking great so far, man. Nice detail level, and the design is working pretty well. I would have liked to have seen more done with the hands, horns, and spine, though.

Overall, looking really nice. The beauty renders are quite yummy.

Ferg

Thanks for the feedback dudes!

I'm getting some pretty unanimous feedback that he could be polished a tad more, especially in the skin color department. I noticed that somewhat during the beauty renders, they were rushed though and we didnt really have time to play with colors much. The files are all at work right now though, I'll dink with em next week and see if I can't polish the last chodes of WIPness off him... probably also try and make the little red bulbouzoids a little more bulbous.

I agree about polishing up the textures a bit more. Maybe have the skin get darker where it meets the gooey flesh bits and also ramp up the spec on the guts. Make 'em all shiny and nasty looking to contrast with the relatively clean skin.

Ferg, that thing grosses me out man, great job!

Vrav

Totally a shambler! I it.

Edit: Maybe he could use some purple (infectious!) rot-looking stuff and veins and such about the wounds, to enhance the skin a bit. But as it is, it's stylized while still being detailed, so I really think it's fine either way. Opinions.
