but its cool anyway!

That's hawt.

There's too many vertebra and they all look the same.

Holy shit-balls, that concept is awesome!

Keith thompson is a genius! That stuff is wicked! I've seen this concept before. Tho I never noticed the barbed wire feet...so brutal!

Nice work on your model too! I suggest that u use a spec value on your hardsurface geometry to get a better sense of how hard your edges are. Which means just turn on the specularity of ur shader on to a vigh value so u can see the highligths.

Keep up the good work!

Looking awesome.
The concept looks awesome

zacD, theres actually just 2 more vertebra than usual

and i dont think it would be worth the effort going in and make those vertebra specific to their regions (cervical,thoracic,lumbar,sacro-coccyx)

Thanks, I am really excited to do this project. I have started sculpting here are a few shots and this time the images are smaller

That is some seriously twisted sh*t.

Coming along nicely so far, but you've got alot of work ahead of you to do this piece the justice it deserves. Don't let that drag you down though - stay focused and keep at it!

heres another update just have this shader to show cavity detail

sweet dude- this is by leaps and bounds my favorite Thomson concept. do er justice1

my biggest crit would have to be your workflow- block out all your hard surface shapes first before you hit the sculpt stage. this way you can be sure of your proportions and shape relations w/o having gone too far down the detail road, that you`ve become married to your work and dont have the energy to make revisions that could otherwise make or break the piece.

good luck dude!

you better pull this off!
