xxxcubanxxx - Snow Creature - Troll

[xxxcubanxxx]

I'm going for a troll type of character, not too much clothing maybe a bit of shell here an there and "alienish" look to it.


Here is some concept work.

[chris_solo]

good start! I follow your thread!

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thank you solo :)

[Tarik2d]

Cool start......wonder how you'll do the body

[xxxcubanxxx]

glad you like it Tarik2d :smug:

here is an update on the body, wanted to give him a beer belly and a small head compared to the body (the guy is not too bright probably) more soon. :D

Nice sculpt already! atm his body is a bit straight, perhaps you could try to widen his chest or hips to make him less human and more creature.

[xxxcubanxxx]

thank you for the comment and suggestion Ojah, great observation.

[xxxcubanxxx]

quick update on the head, more tomorrow.

Great work and i think u like aliens. Every time your took something new. Amazing work.

[xxxcubanxxx]

Lol, yeah I guess I have a thing for aliens; I just feel like I have more freedom to experiment with different shapes and go outside the box and while at break some of the guidelines we've created in this industry. Thanks for the comment Bibhuti :)

[Cordero]

Well, i guess then you are all over mass effect 2 :D
Spare some time, and win this challenge:D

[xxxcubanxxx]

[xxxcubanxxx]

Looks good. but update from different sides also. need work on the metal of neck that is not look like metal.

Reminds me a bit of the Drell dude when you see it from the side...

Interesting design either way :). Keep on going!

Thanks for the comments guys, this is just a concept to see what I want to do with the textures, I'm feeling pretty sick today so I'll see if I can pull some updates later on today.

[TNTxGRAVE]

I love that final render. What did you use for it.

[xxxcubanxxx]

thank you TNT :wave:, for the render nothing fancy really, was rendered in max with Mental Ray and I did some touch ups on PS after that.

[chris_solo]

[xxxcubanxxx]

Thanks Solo :)

[bibhuti]

[xxxcubanxxx]

hmmm, I guess there was a problem with the imageshack.com link. Should be working now thanks for the support, it's not showing on the voting thread either. :(

PS:

If any of the mods can help me, my winning shot link on the final voting thread seems to be malfunctioning, it was working till yesterday don't know what happened. :(
