Toad Warrior

bmasterson

Working on this as a portfolio piece geared toward one of the places I'd like to get an internship with. The concept art is from Arenanet, their Guildwars 2 concept art book.

I've had a lot of fun with the facial expression, but sadly strayed quite a bit from the concept now so I might have to save this version for myself and redo it for arenanet. Also this is the first project I've had to google moobs...
Special thanks to Jack Nicholson for providing ample moobs examples.

Areas that need attention are definitely the back muscles particularly around the shoulder joint. Also still iffy about the hip joint.
Comments and critique are welcome.

Thats such a sweet concept, this should look good!

From a quick 'frog' google image search, I think the shoulders look fine - it seems frog arms don't join quite as smoothly to the back as humans do. But you might want to flesh it out a bit more if better fit the armour joins, as the flesh won't be seen much around there.

Something I would see in Zelda.

update. moved masses fixed feet. blocked in hands.

Quack!

Your proportions seem way off. The shoulders on the concept looks very wide and give the toad a 'warrior' feel. Yours seems to not have this look and almost looks like dwarftoadhuman. I think the head is also a little too large.

Reminds me of Frog from Chrono Trigger!

quack im not exactly sure what you mean with the shoulders. tbh its very hard to make out exactly what the body looks like under the armor. if you could do a paintover i'd appreciate it.

update






mostly done on the body now. i've got to go take a look at my anatomy books and make sure everything is squared away. the armor will take a few more hours i think.

That is some really sweet concept art / overall concept for the character.

He's coming along well. I think he might look a bit better though, if you developed his shoulders a bit more. If you build up the muscles that would run from the lower back to the shoulder (Latissimus dorsi, I believe) on a human, and bulk up the deltoid a little bit, you should be able to give him a better sense of strength - more able to swing that big battle axe around. A lot of it will be covered by the lumpy toad anatomy. What you want is the bit that protrudes out that forms the rear of the arm pit.

hopefully this is what you were talking about. i think its pretty close to mudbox ready.
