samgriffiths · Mar 2010

soon as i read that i saw two giant titties, is this just me?

ENODMI · Mar 2010

Changed my challenge to Battle Goat because...Battle Goat!

Anyways, crap sketch here I did tonight, will start modeling tomorrow:poly127:

Rens · Mar 2010

Yeah! ha, that is crap.. pshh!

Belltann · Mar 2010

Noooo! ah well the goat looks double fine so im good ^^

InProgress · Mar 2010

Lookin' ship shape. I'm gonna follow this.

hijak · Mar 2010

I like the proud, noble appearance of him, Not something you usually associate with goats, so its definitely a nice contrast. Does he have hair? I mean like any sort of hair style. should be cool though.

Arkadius · Mar 2010

Wow fantastic rendition of you're idea.

ralusek · Mar 2010

reference, if you want it. sorry i can't credit, i forget who made it

Emil Mujanovic · Mar 2010

That would be Sam Chester, who posts here on Polycount as well :P

ENODMI · Mar 2010

Is this too much basemesh? Am I breaking the rules? Am I suppose to sculpt the armor out of the character mesh in zbrush, not block it in like I have in Maya?

Anyways, exporting parts into zbrush to strat pushing/pulling around. having fun so far:)

ENODMI · Mar 2010

Blah, got to work on it for about five minutes(feels like anyways) and now I have to go to work... to wash dishes... the pain and torment...:poly127::poly127::poly127::poly127:, oh well, Im excited to work on it later tonight:)

Arkadius · Mar 2010

Wow looking good are you going to retopo?

ENODMI · Mar 2010

Arkadius - Maybe, depends, I dunno:) Think im just going to keep on mashing him together until I run into any problems

ENODMI · Mar 2010

worked on his legs, face, arms and chest armor some.

ENODMI · Mar 2010

This is terrible, but I thought it funny enough to share. If I had done a proper drawing here, youd be able to tell that the gladiator getting his face cut off has already been cut in half... but instead it just looks like really bad perspective...and proportions are all messed up on goat...and the perspective is messed up...enjoy:)

vcool · Mar 2010

It's better than anything I could do given time until Hubble constant actually becomes a constant.

Belltann · Mar 2010

Darn nice sketch. Shite, your almost done! Need to hurry up myself....

Rens · Mar 2010

Great work so far man,
that drawing is awesome.

Suggestion would be to flesh out the bigger forms on the sculpt a bit before hitting finer details.
Right now they look a bit too smoothed out, if that makes sense.

Moar!

Grfx · Mar 2010

Beautiful Drawings also like the ornaments on the armor.
good Work!

Arkadius · Mar 2010

Awesome sketch, the energy of the pose and perspective (at least I think it looks good) sell the character as very intense, I dont wanna fuck with him.

ENODMI · Apr 2010

So I basically have all the parts blocked in now: gauntlets, waist and leg wraps, ears... but I have a problem, I made the ears as an individual piece and don't know how to combine them in zbrush without an obvious seam. Ive used polygroups to sculpt across the seam, but it still shows, so my current solution has been to make a head piece that covers the seam, but I'd like to stick as close as possible to my concept sketch. Im going to dig around and see if there are any tuts on welding separate pieces together withing zbrush. Anyone here know? I should have built the geometry out originally in my base as one piece...blah.

Besides that, I now have a tone of sculpting to do.. and I suppose it's a good time to start thinking about the final pose and base as well....oh crap, and a weapon too:poly124:

ENODMI · Apr 2010

Small update

ENODMI · Apr 2010

started to pose... lobs of stuff to do still:)

Thunder · Apr 2010

Love it so far. One thing I really liked that you removed was the gloves. Just curious why you did that.

stumania · Apr 2010

Good work Bro, keep it up! Is the shield and weapon on the way!?

brandoom · Apr 2010

Great work Enodmi, good choice of studios too. BattleGoat is only about 30mins from me

Only thing I would crit is the size of his hands, they look a little small as of right now. Big hands to match his big arms.

ENODMI · Apr 2010

Calling it done for today...It's missing some stuff but Ill just have to finish it up outside of the challenge.This was fun, learned some new things in Zbrush and was only frustrated most of the time! Now to go poke around and look at everyone else's challenge piece:)

stumania · Apr 2010

And the winner is... (see above)

ENODMI · Apr 2010

Ha! The only thing I won is bloodshot eyes:poly127:

leslievdb · Apr 2010

great entry,
the only comment i can give is that maybe iyou could have added some more form on the entire piece by being a bit looser while sculpting

but it looks great anyway ^^
