    The concept was super hard for me to read at first in the face...I had to study the model and keep looking back at the concept, but that's probably just my own idiocy

    This idea is nothing short of awesome lol...I feel like the humps could be a bit more pronounced, and that flag is super small.

    Aside from that, the only other thing I have to say is, isn't he a retarded, crazy camel? I mean, he is in a straight jacket, it implies crazy ;)

    That's a really funny idea. What does the text on the straight jacket thingy say btw?

    Haha. Nicely done. My only complaint is the gravity-defying fez hat. It's just a little too over the top for me.

    I read the title of this thread and thought it would have something to do with Belias. I can always hope that he's still out there somewhere...

    More like insane when I saw the jacket, nonetheless a nice concept, what could help with bringing out the character some more is that you could mange him up a bit by ruffling him up.

    i did do a few other sketches of just the head, and i had a clear image of how i wanted it to look so the concept was just there for quick proportions

    i may do some more work to it, the humps do need a little more definition and i would like to make the flag bigger, he also is a little small in engine but i will ask the team to address that

    cheers

    it says Psych Ward in arabic (google translate win) and the band around his fez says ' a camel is not just for christmas ' :P

    thankyou, your tip with the green channel from the normal map in the diffuse makes such a difference, thanx again for coming down for the demo :D!

    i imagine it as more of a dribble recepticle, and is probably glued on for his own safety :poly128:

    i was going to add some more grime detail and make his fur a bit more tatty but the theme for the game was quite tf2/cartoony style and tried to keep the diffuse fairly clean, and after the engine shader was applied small details like that might have been lost, but i am tempted to do another version where i make some more geometry for his fur and have random tufts etc.. protruding from his neck to make him look a bit more bedraggled

    i was just making what i was told, true i got a bit carried away with the theme but it was just for a laugh,

    Disclaimer - no camels were hurt during the making of this mod

    One can only imagine the epic drinking session in which the concept was conceived! My only crit is that camel looks a bit like a dragon since his features have been exaggerated. Maybe make the hump a lot more, er... 'humpier'
