just throwing my bit in. will carry on thumbing but this was one that i wanted to experiment with some quick blocking today :

Muzzoid · Mar 2009

Thats looking pretty darn rad.

Ill be watching this one.
Hey you live in wellington, i don't suppose you went to the massive black workshop there?

jerry · Mar 2009

I'm a big fan of your work, i bet whatever you do it'll be kickass.

This guy might look cool with a tail.

tacit math · Mar 2009

hey. thanks guys. Muzz. yeah. i was at the workshop. amazingly humbling and exhausting caper that was. awesome. i assume you were there too man ?

Muzzoid · Mar 2009

Ya, twas one of the best weeks of my life. well good luck to you, we probably didn't meet but it is still cool knowing we were once in the same room :P.

Man when is manley going to release that lecture on color theory though.

Good luck dude

Snowfly · Mar 2009

Oooo

I agree, he needs a counterpoint at the rear. And all those little points and accents to punctuate his shape (still a smoothy mesh, I know)

Go go tacit!

MoP · Mar 2009

very cool!

kite · Mar 2009

that looks cool tacit, always like the fluidity of your models. more thumb creatures please!

ThatDon · Mar 2009

lovely, I hope you finish this time!

mikezoo · Mar 2009

what a great idea to do a 360 test with whatever silhouette you got.

hmm. I might try the same thing.:)

Fount end looks pretty darn cool.

r4ptur3 · Mar 2009

yeah man, nice job on the 360! I think you inspired me to do a test tonite after I get off work.

tacit math · Mar 2009

get spinning fella's. not much fond of these 'cept for the dude in the bottom bottom right. so. well. token thumbage :

DeathByChris · Mar 2009

awesome concepts,
2nd image bottom right take the head and put on the guy in the top left, just a thought

kite · Mar 2009

anything from that bottom set of silhouettes! i like 1, 3 and 4's weapon particularly

machuca · Mar 2009

really liked 1,3,4 on the bottom sheet. some crazy stuff going on with them.

leslievdb · Mar 2009

nice thumbs man!
second thumbpage nr 4 and 5

keep it up

notebookguy · Mar 2009

looks nice nice render setup for model

killingpeople · Mar 2009

Very cool stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do!

mat · Mar 2009

shall be very awesome to see what comes when its time to show the model

Kamui · Mar 2009

frick! sweet thumbs man! can't wait to see some of these develop! IMO you're better off without alchemy. The 3/4 thumbs are sooooo much better.

tacit math · Mar 2009

thanks guys. more thumbs. still just to loosen up more than anything. not really any attempt at a given direction. will narrow something down over the next few days :

Asmuel · Mar 2009

yea the new concepts are great bro, 4 5 and 6 from the 1st sheet and 1 2 3 and 8 from the second I particularly like. And bottom left on the 3rd sheet.

coldkodiak · Mar 2009

dude, everything rocks on this page. The first guy, 4th guy and last guy are delicious.

r4ptur3 · Mar 2009

your latest post, center right -- big horn and three eyes ... that and anything from the above image pretty much kicks asses. lots of asses.

c0ldhands · Mar 2009

I also like the last guy on your second sketch sheet, the dude with a lot of eyes and some weird horns/tentacles, and looks like he is holding a rifle, but i might be mistaken.

Zatoichi · Mar 2009

ok, without numbering this will be difficult, but i like the feet on the guy... second character sheet, second row down, first guy #5. Interesting skinny split shin look.

Ladysoul · Mar 2009

Awesome silhouette! really like the first row of your last sketch sheet!

foreverendering · Mar 2009

It's great to see some work from you man! You always bring a ton of a creativity with everything you do

Sir Gimp · Mar 2009

Going to follow this one for sure. Great!

wretchedgoat · Mar 2009

wow are you pumping out some great thumbnails

i really like the first guy on the page that coldkodiak quoted, nice and interesting shape

the one you posted first though is a good start though, all the tentacles/horns/tusks make for some cool possibilities

can't wait to see what you flesh out!

tacit math · Mar 2009

thanks for the comments guys. appreciated. still messing with ideas. that first post block in is starting to look appealing just to meet the criteria of a massive over the top thing. though i'm pretty sure i'd prefer the balance and proportion of a biped. flake. anyway

made a quick sketch tonight and since i'd not done any sculpting for a bit i figured to play with some of those forms in zb :

mat · Mar 2009

cant take my eyes away from the spinning awesomeness
great sense of form and structure going on

Slipstream · Mar 2009

That looks fun. You always have really cool forms and proportions in your models.

Gav · Mar 2009

Always love your sculpts man, this guy looks awesome even for a quickie

kite · Mar 2009

cool sculpt tacit, going with any one of your thumbs in particular or just working it out as you go?

RITORIAN · Mar 2009

looks sweet Tacit. I love it so far. go go go

peppi · Mar 2009

Awesome work so far!

James Edwards · Mar 2009

That is some badass anatomy!

55joe · Mar 2009

really nice concept and sculpt

r4ptur3 · Mar 2009

guuuuu!!

Ferg · Mar 2009

goddammit tacit you have such a good eye for proportions

foreverendering · Mar 2009

great stuff man... you always nail it when it comes to forms/proportions

meshiah · Mar 2009

i agree the proportions are great, the back fins are alittle general dont really read as anything bt the rest is fantastic,,i love the rat skull look it has in the face,,good stuff man

Joao Sapiro · Mar 2009

love the shapes on your sculpts man. this will surely rock

ThatDon · Mar 2009

You need to be doing this for a living man...seriously.

joolz8000 · Mar 2009

I love this! The guy's head is so cute! Love what's going on with his back- great stuff!

MoP · Mar 2009

tacit math. ftw.

tacit math · Mar 2009

ThatDon. bro. i'd be sitting in a well damp chair if i could be sculpting critters in the days. i'll keep the dream alive. think i might've narrowed my focus down to something worthwhile. will post some sketches of that a little later. for now is another dirty cheapy sculpt i did the other night to have a look at a trollish body type. kinda cartoony maybe. but pretty fun just to get in and push some forms around. thanks for all the replies fella's. wish you all well with your entries :

bilbana · Mar 2009

Love the arms/hands in particular. Looking forward to those sketches

tacit math · Apr 2009

after a lot of straying and false starts i'm gonna go with developing this. canabalizing a bunch of ideas old and new. not much to look at but. spin :

NEED MOAR HOARN !!

.

all this is blocks / placeholder stuff so. . . get a bunch of armour parts in there and some gear. etc. what i'm not so sure on is the severed head of the felled serpent he has draped across his back ( the two wings here will be wrapped around him like some kind of sash maybe ). he wields the ( eventually ) spiked tail as a weapon in one hand. but dunno whether to make his other arm the head of the beast. have an attachment / gauntlet with the skull head on a vertebrae chain. or have it bound into a kinda sword / staff thing. please let me know quick if any of this sounds knocked off. much time spent second guessing where you might've ripped an idea from somewhere along the way

foreverendering · Apr 2009

Hey tacit,

The concept sounds cool to me, block-in is looking great. I think a forearm/gauntlet piece using the head of the creature sounds like a logical continuation of the idea. The skull could be used for defense, and the tail for offense. It gives him some nice assymetry too.

Go go go!
