Hey everybody, I'm one of the new guys around here signing up to join the war. I tried posting earlier this week but I guess it's stuck in admin limbo or just got deleted. Maybe I shouldn't have promised to discreetly increase all your penis sizes by two inches.

Anyway, I'm planning on doing a Demonic Abomination. Here's some early concepts.

Welcome to the winning side Matt, 3, 4, 5 definitely seem like the most interesting so far. A few more sets of thumbs working with those shapes could produce some cool concepts.

Enderstaley · Apr 2009

Yea, I like 3,4,5 as well. more thumbs!

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

Thanks for the feedback guys. Here's some mutations of 3-5. I really hate not having a tablet.

Enderstaley · Apr 2009

Great, i like 4b and 5c

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

Here's some quick thumbs, messing around with mask design...

Ashleigh · Apr 2009

Well I really like the direction this is heading. For the masks B and C are looking really great, I think the other two kind of remind me of The Punisher. I want to see more Matt!

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

I just bought a tablet on eBay. Within two to three business days I'll be able to really start cranking out artwork again.

Enderstaley · Apr 2009

Finally, what did you get?

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

It's just a Wacom Bamboo MTE450, but it was only $68 and I got to crush the dreams of somebody who wasn't smart enough to use an auto-sniper script. :thumbup:

Enderstaley · Apr 2009

hahaha you heartless son of a bitch, that is why your awesome

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

My tablet finally came a few hours ago. Now I'll be able to make significant updates regularly (if not daily). Here's my first bit of work with it.

for me C

Hey Matt, looking pretty cool but I think you need to get some darker darks in there. This is reminding me of a carnifex! http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b240/rahsyk/carnifex.jpg

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

Well then this edit of the last image that helps me visualize what kinds of materials and textures I'll be making this beast out of (as well as what to do with that abdomen) will really remind you of a Carnifex. There's actually a few Tyranids in the massive wall of monster reference I compiled the other night. Maybe I'll post a link here or something because it's like 6000 x 8000.

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

So, here's a quick sketch of the new direction I'm going in. After spending some time really working out the biology of this beast and trying to block it out I realized that I've strayed from my original ideas.

I'm toying with different things to make the silhouette stand out more. Feedback is as always welcome, appreciated and encouraged.

MattQ86 · Apr 2009

Here's a quick update of the retopo'd and adjusted version of this brute I've begun to nickname "Meaty" since his fists now resemble meathook like claws. As you can see I have about 4k tris left over and I'm knocking around a few ideas on how to spend it. Chains? Shackles? More bone-like protrusions? A norm hero's corpse strapped to his back?

MattQ86 · May 2009

Holy shit this thing was getting dusty.

Well, after wasting a week chasing an art test for a job I probably won't get, I'm back at it. I dove right in to the UVs, started sculpting in detail and now I'm going to be moving on to textures. Here's a preview of what I have so far.

and a detail shot of the bust...

Among the scars and abrasions you can see some sick bastards had the balls to brand him...

MattQ86 · Jun 2009

Well, I finally got around to texturing, but I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with it so I'm moving on...

Wish I would have finished on time, but at least I learned a lot...
