My character work
polycounter lvl 6
Hey guys I thought that I would start a thread for all the character work that I will be doing... There is a lot of inspiring work here so I want to stop lurking so much and get more involved. Anyway I'll start with this sort of flying creature that I am making for an animator at work who wants something like this in his showreel... somewhat generic and you can tell where I have taken inspiration from. Still lots more to sculpt :-)

I imagine it to be more like this..
Really like the torso anatomy on the first post dude.
@DannSw -I am going to work more on the wings and post a shot soon :-)
@Zersixs - Thanks!
@MrNinjutsu - How is it going dude? I agree with you about the eyes... that is an area I need to figure out and get the design to work... I'll post more up soon. Your work is looking a lot better since I last saw your stuff by the way!

Yeah it can be a bit difficult with getting the eyes right, it can really make a piece. Saying that you could leave the eyes out completely, taking on inspiration from moles and that they being typically blind, you could maybe incorporate some evolutionary compensations for something like that on this guy? Could be interesting.
Looking forward to more! Oh i shot a pm over to you too.
@joesolo - Thanks for the advice, i do tend to work like that, I like to work in one subdivision and completing it before I move up... I think in those shots I still have work to do lol :-)
Anyway here is a small update on the first model I posted... still have a lot of surface detail to do. I have added some spikes along the spine and also some smaller poisonous darts around the shoulder area. I will echo that design along the tail but still have to get around to it. Slowly but surely getting there...
the rotation of her wrist makes her hand look reeeeally elongated.
Really great, fun Creature box sculpt. The eyes really add to the comedic effect.
Here is another crunch that we did at work, the theme was to sculpt a celeb... there are still some issues that I would like to fix but here is what I got at the end of the week...
I have decided to enter the comicon challange anyhoo and here is kinda where I am at. A concept sculpt...
Although after some feedback and a bit of re-evaluating I decided to try out some new Torso details to make it look less busy. I'm kinda thinking of something along these lines?
Here is the link to my entry if you are interested?

I am hoping now to get back to doing more of my personal work so I have decided to get back to some of my old characters that I never got around to finishing. First of all I thought I would finish this creature that I was sculpting a while ago... The sculpt is almost there, only a few details to add if anything. I am going to retopo next and unwrap so I can get to baking :-)
