duncan · Mar 2013

KOOKY LIZARD ESCAPES GIANT SPACE FLY.....!?

LATEST UPDATE:

Here is what the boots look like.

:poly127::poly127::poly127:ZBrush corrupted my scene so it is GAME OVER MAN!:poly127::poly127::poly127:
I should have been exporting out my lows as I was creating them but I didn't. Lesson learnt.

...... Well played ZBrush.......... well played.

duncan · Mar 2013

How could I not jump on this?

Found out the other day that I have cracked rib so....... all rest and no exercise makes me do art.... ahh faster ( I hope )

actually picked up a pencil for the first time in a while to nut out a quick concept.... its not great but it gets the point across.

Also started the sculpt.

more soon.

Vrav · Mar 2013

The raddest of all sauceries. I loves it. Do continue!

paranoidMonkey · Mar 2013

Looking good man, nice start. I'll keep an eye on it!

RogerP · Mar 2013

Great character, as always...will keep an eye on this one

ScudzAlmighty · Mar 2013

Love this guy Duncan, very crazy:)
His tail feels a little to wide at the base though, like he doesn't have an ass at all.

akacg · Mar 2013

I love your sculpts and this one is gonna be good. Good luck

Lord Fryingpan · Mar 2013

can't help smirking when I see your concept. Very nice, can't wait to see more.

duncan · Mar 2013

Thanks everyone.

@ ScudzAlmighty : Thanks man

. Yeah the I made the tail a little thinner at the base and also changed the direction a bit for the belt. I guess he is not really supposed to have an ass exactly. I am thinking of having it so his tail has detached from his body in his escape, but even then there will be a long'ish stump. It could all change as I go at so I will keep it in mind. Thanks man :thumbup:

not much to say really. Just starting to add details.

Thanks again everyone.

jocz · Mar 2013

cool idea :poly142:

duncan · Mar 2013

@ jocz : hehe thanks.

still blocking out. I need to make a holster for his gun and then I have to start with the cloths.

Rather than portraying a traditional escape, I am thinking of making him the main character of a book \ newspaper story of a lizard who only just escapes a life and death situation with a massive space fly.... or something else.... still nutting out the details.

Awesome work man, love the back story and he's oozing character.

Have you thought about varying up the eye sizes, as was done with Rango?

duncan · Mar 2013

@ Jaco : Thanks :thumbup:

:thumbup: Yeah I am definitely going to get in on some of that eye action, perhaps not too extreme but asymmetrical eye size for sure. Thanks :thumbup:

Guedin · Mar 2013

ha ! I'm so glad to see taking part of this contest too ! I love your style man

popawheelie · Mar 2013

Hey! Looking good Duncs. Love the ray gun.

duncan · Mar 2013

Thanks everyone

@ Guedin : hehe Thanks. I hope you are gonna get in on this action too, I am really wanting to see some new rads from you.

@ popawheelie : Hey, Hey, Hey, Mr Kelsey. how you going dude. Long time no see. :thumbup:

Still pooting out some details. Started working on some threads.

Thanks everyone.

ScudzAlmighty · Mar 2013

Autocon · Mar 2013

cptSwing · Mar 2013

So very sweet!

Burnzy · Mar 2013

jeebs · Mar 2013

Really like this style! can't wait to see more

rlli · Mar 2013

Wow! awesome character, I love your style:thumbup:

Nizza_waaarg · Mar 2013

jeeze its not a race man >:{

super rad so far dude, keen to see what kind of enviro you put him in. Dig all his little gear bits you got on him

RogerP · Mar 2013

loving this

Azkur · Mar 2013

super tight work so far man! cant wait to see what is it going to look like in the end

akacg · Mar 2013

Nice update and the accesories are really unique

SubPablo · Mar 2013

Holy crap am I loving this character!

ILLMATICC · Mar 2013

I'd love to see how he would blink with that eye setup

duncan · Mar 2013

Thanks everyone

I know it does not look like it but I have done a bit. Re topo'd, played with the insert mesh brush, made shoes, made buttons (not that you can really see them from here). Doesn't really look like it but there is work there. Also rib has healed enough for me to start jogging again and get back into my Krav Maga class (only lightly). bit of Crunch time at work as well so spare time is hard to come by at the moment but this weekend SHOULD see some good updates......I hope

Thanks for all the kind words everyone have a great weekend :thumbup:

Burnzy · Mar 2013

Go with Sir Zapsalot lol. Love the new shoes man. Its a joy to see your work progress.

ScudzAlmighty · Mar 2013

The more I look at this the more I think Bill Watersons Muppet Star Wars :P

Great progress so far and I also like Sir Zapsalot.

duncan · Mar 2013

Thanks everyone :thumbup:

@ Burnzy : Thanks. Sir Zapsalot looks like a popular choice so far. Cheers

@ ScudzAlmighty : haha I am glad you picked up on the Star Wars vibe. His outfit is pretty much a Han Solos. with a heap of belts and no vest. I was toying with the idea of calling him "HAN COMODO"

Didn't get through as much as I wanted but I started the pants, and spent too long playing with the insert mesh brush for all the stitching.

SSSOOOOOO Slow, but he is getting there.

Thanks again :poly124:

ScudzAlmighty · Mar 2013

Oh the Star wars/Han Solo thing was obvious from day 1, I just didn't think it was worth mentioning until I made Watterson connection. The Stitching looks amazing but I wish you'd posted a bigger/brighter pic so we could really see it

Did you create the imm brush or is it a download?

duncan · Mar 2013

Thanks Scudz

I will try to post more vision friendly screens in the future

.
Nah the insert mesh brush was home made, no multimesh either, those shits were all individually drawn down and tweeked by hand, such a pain. I need to look into the multi mesh brush that looks like it would have saved me some time (...if I understand it correctly...((which would be unusual for me)))

fightpunch · Mar 2013

GOtta say Im loving this, great proportions you got going on!

Azkur · Mar 2013

damn duncan thats looking sweet

mat · Mar 2013

nice work duncan, love how much character is in the sculpt already! really dig the style and the design consistency
looking forward to see it progress

duncan · Mar 2013

Thanks everyone :thumbup:

spam update.

Think I am pretty much finished with the belt stitching.
Going to start with a little bit of strapping on the belts and on the handle for "sir Zapsalot"

AAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHhhhhhhhhhh!.......... still sooooo much to go. Not so much BIG stuff but more detailing shits..... ohh well back into it.

Thanks again everyone

lonelysquare · Mar 2013

*sits in silence, envies your sculpting skills*

Nik · Mar 2013

Yeah this dude is looking fantastic, cant wait to see the final image.

AimBiZ · Apr 2013

Man do I love the costume design! It has that nice miniature feel to it. Looking forward seeing those hands getting their polish. Perhaps you'd like to give those some subtle angularity to make them more expressive. I imagine this character uses his hands a lot.

duncan · Apr 2013

Thanks guys

@ AimBiZ : Thanks. Yeah I wanted to go fro squarer fingers but they didn't quite fit in. so I gave him some finger scales instead

Had a brief break to do some other ahhh stuff that did not pan out, but hay you can only try.

Either way I am back into this dude now so here is a little update.

-Added block in horns
-Block in scales
-block in gloves
and I don't know probably some other things too.

D4V1DC · Apr 2013

Whoa love this little guy just saw him at the what you working on thread, loving them details. Can't wait for more this is pretty kick ass.

seven · Apr 2013

Looking really good man.

CordellC · Apr 2013

Incredible. He feels like a character out of a top-tier animation house. Would love to see an animator take this and define the character into a sci fi cowboy.

ScudzAlmighty · Apr 2013

damn man, damn

Hanska · Apr 2013

I love how you keep your thread so light and humorous!
It reflects your sculpts and characters aswell. Eeeexcellent!

Loving it! The stitching turned out great

His eyes looks like eggs wrapped in some kind of cloth... But i'm sure you'll fix that
