Current progress:

Muzzoid · Mar 2009

Coolio

.

Looks a little too much like a predator right now, might want to push away from that.

Jonas Ronnegard · Mar 2009

it does? hehe is it a gas mask im seeing? :P stuck on your last concept maybe?

Snefer · Mar 2009

hehe, no, he is not wearing a gas mask ^^ Haven't really put any thought into the face yet ^^

whipSwitch · Mar 2009

you should sneak a gasmask in there somewhere just for humor's sake

Snefer · Mar 2009

ooodelidoodeli. The head is a joke right now. No shapes at all, need to come up with something funky there

And the magic weapon/cannon needs...an idea ^^

Snefer · Mar 2009

mjeh, dont know what Im doing right now but I'll post here anyway ^^

NyneDown · Mar 2009

Nice so far man...really liking the accessories. Do you know what race or class you're going for yet?

Enderstaley · Mar 2009

Haha "bwuh" thats great stuff! Your commentary on your won sketches is hilarious and awesome. You've got some amazing detail. Keep up the good work!

Scrumpy · Mar 2009

really like the detail on the torso but those horns seem a bit small for a big fella like him.

Snefer · Mar 2009

NyneDown: He'll be a norm warlord methinks

Scrumpy: yeah, those horns are..wierd. Mjeh, I'll try to figure something out

cheers ^^

SinisterUrge · Mar 2009

Techy and detailed, as to be expected. Off to a good start so far

leslievdb · Mar 2009

so early in the competition and already so much details
i like it so far

Carl Brannstrom · Mar 2009

I think this is going to turn out great!

Nice flow and details. Keep it up.

Snefer · Mar 2009

haha, yeah, I decided to go in a totally new direction and have lots of techy details on my character *cough* Starting to feel a bit of love now. Maybe he and I can work this out.

Xaltar · Mar 2009

Holy crap looking good. Maybe make the horns a little less wimpy, give em a little more length and bulk and maybe add some tech bits to the top of the helmet.

konstruct · Mar 2009

this is looking cool- remember to work that silhouette, then the details

Snefer · Mar 2009

I wish I didn't suck so at painting, but yeah, its good practise

I'm getting there slowly, starting to block out ideas while I progress with this

oh yeah, and the weapon is not gonna be like a huge glove, more like a huge..thing attatched to his arm, but so big it almost covers his whole forearm. It's gonna have an attachment to his back-machine thingy to help him aim and hold the damn thing

morte · Mar 2009

The detail is great and almost flawless for me, but these horns and swords somewhat doesnt fit the whole image of your character...

Xaltar · Mar 2009

If I sucked at painting as bad as you I would be a happy man :P

Maybe try a different style of horns?

woogity · Mar 2009

love the detail clusters, especially the left shoulder bit very i think if the horns were a tad bigger it might fit moreschnazzy appropriately the shilouette on the right looks perfect i think they are a tad bigger there also dont know how i feel about the sword......he just seems more like an axe man to me

-woog

Snefer · Mar 2009

Thanks :] I hope those details will be as fun to model as I hope they will

Hmm, I dunno, kinda like the horns, fits the barbaric style im going for, but I'll play around with some other ideas aswell... anyways, started sketching the back, also did a 3d blockout so I can get a better feeling for the shapes aswell... need to get to modelling soon ^^

JacqueChoi · Mar 2009

Love the design so far, but I agree with xaltar.

I'd love the see the horns at least the same length as that shoulder piece (with equivalent scale in girth).

Bulkier legs might give him a stronger sense of weight too.

Snefer · Mar 2009

I make shoulderpads! Started modelling while I get the rest of the concepting done :] Still some stuff to fix on the pads though.

r4ptur3 · Mar 2009

i want one! those shoulder pads are lookin' pimp

JFletcher · Mar 2009

looks fucking awesome!

armor reminds me of fallout for some reason

Snefer · Mar 2009

Thanks :]

damn, I want to avoid that :-O haha, no, but I think I see what you mean, the likeness will go away as I progress, methinks, this armor is a bit more slim ^^

Diwan · Mar 2009

Man those shoulderpads are really badass! Keep it up!

kongni · Mar 2009

Damn dude. I'm lovin' all the armor details!

woogity · Mar 2009

Man o' man, you do your highpoly with sub-d modeling right? Anyways aside from the technical that is great man id expect nothing less from your work tho. u sir are an animal and i would love to see a tut on your hard surface skills.

Belltann · Mar 2009

nice one mate

Snefer · Mar 2009

Thanks alot guys :]

woogity: Yeah, my base highpoly is always with sub-D, but I try to take it into Zbrush to dent it up when needed aswell

Unless its organic, ofcourse, cause then I use zbrush more extensively. as for a tutorial, yeah maybe so at some point if people would like so ^^

Snefer · Mar 2009

Yees...here's some bodywork, most of the stuff is just buttugly placeholders as you can see ^^ Just showing some progress...

Snefer · Mar 2009

the forums are so wierd right now, my post...didn't post, but still..it did? anyway :-S there it is ^^

Belltann · Mar 2009

Greentooth got toothache or something ^^ Crazy detail lvl mate. Looking good.

Inpw · Mar 2009

Great details and speed. I envy

Snefer · Mar 2009

Update...slacking too much, needs MOAR WORK! ^^

AimBiZ · Mar 2009

The detailing is freakin awesome but it appears a tad generic to me. Wouldn't it be better to flesh out the whole character first, both on the concept and in 3d? Will be easier to judge the design imo.

And I'd also drop the horns. I think they steal attention from the rest of the head. Also I'm not sure about those huge lense thingys on the head.

Off topic: You work at Massive eh? That's awesome. Was there on a visit whith class last december. Looks really nice there.

Snefer · Mar 2009

Yup, its a tad generic ^^ That was a decision by me, I want to make something that looks slightly "realistic" when it comes to proportions, armor, etc. No extra wierd arms or stuff like that.

The concept is basically done inside my head, I have worked more on the 2d concept since the last post, but I wont post it until its finished, didn't feel like spamming the thread with every little change I made

And those huge lense-thingys will probably make more sense when they look like in the concept instead of some placeholder cylinder-clusterfuck

Belltann · Mar 2009

Dude, continoue with what your doing. It looks great. Mental image for the win!

Then I'm looking forward for the update then.

Bal · Mar 2009

Yeah awesome detailing Snefer, but damn you! You put those silly losanges on his belts again, like on your mini entry!
Keep up the good work, all those details are gonna look yummy baked.

Snefer · Mar 2009

Bal: haha, but I like them!! Thanks

Belltann: Thanks! Concepts are for people without visualisation skills! *cough* or people that can actually paint... ^^

Snefer · Mar 2009

update time... I CAN HAS BEVEL TOOL?

JFletcher · Mar 2009

oh my.

that is the most beautiful mechanical nipple i have ever seen in my life!

everything looks top notch so far, and i love the continuing style from your mini-war challenge general

Jaco · Mar 2009

Nice, awesome modeling on the hard bits

conte · Mar 2009

cool modelling!

morte · Mar 2009

The detail is crazy, and i'm pretty sure you are aware of that, but the model does not have the power of concept. Maybe the hips are more narrow- overall he is less massive than on the concept. but i hope you will add some stuff and equip to make him look stronger.
Regards!

Snefer · Mar 2009

JFletcher: you cant image what happens when you give him a nipple twist! Hot steaming plasma everywhere, hot and sticky!
morte: hmm, yeah I see what you mean, I will play around more with the proportions of his waist/hips, also I think proper arms will add to the massive feeling. Thanks for the feedback :]
Jaci, conte: cheers

woogity · Mar 2009

i noticed the diamonds on the belts right away... i think i like having something there to break it up a bit. speaking of which u do love your belts don't you? well you should they look fantastic. also the turbine nipple is decidedly badass. cant wait to see whats going on with the crazy ass helmet will look cool. also cheers on going realistic, it will help it stand out of a crowd of horned wingy things wif big nasty teeth.
