Brussel Sprout - Snow Creature - Aquatic Blubber Beast

[Brussel_Sprout]

Alright, cool topic i'm in! :)

Thinking of an aquatic walrus type beast, big, fat blubbery with freaky features. Large webbed feet for good swimming and to not sink in the snow.

Concept so far, not sure about the rear end yet. Flippers? Tail? Little crocodile type legs? or just like a maggoty body? Open to suggestions a crits!

Cheers

hahahaha! Blubber beast, love it!

[Brussel_Sprout]

Refining the concept a bit more...fin thingy to absorb heat from the sun, and to aid swimming. any comments suggestions?

[Buzzy]

Needs to be fat like your first concept...perhaps even fatter...and smaller legs and head to make the fat look even fatter.

By slimming him, he no longer looks arctic...just deep-water aquatic. So I suggest lots and lots of blubber

[Cordero]

Personally i like the first concept more.
I think that the water monster thingy is a pretty nice idea!

[Brussel_Sprout]

Quick update, bout halfway through the low res model and poly limit about 5k at the mo.

Still debating weather or not to bother with the fin?

Keep the crits coming.

[setschaos]

good progress, I personally would like to see more sag to the neck, think faaaaaaaaaaat but wiggly. It would add a great touch. Also, I really like how the first concept's head looks like it really has the capacity to 'suck' into itself, maybe even have a totally different texture, like tranlucent skin or something of the sort.

I think you can exagerate the fat mass much more. Also the body seems a bit small compared to head/arms I think. Groeten.

Reminds me a bit of the slimy worms i Diablo 2 :).

You could try making a leech mouth, just a thought..

[Brussel_Sprout]

Yeah thats the idea.

In super subzero the beast can tuck its head into fatty hood, kinda like a fat foreskin.

Good crits guys will take em on board.

[hulahuga]

kinda like a fat foreskin.

hahahahahahah!

Epic. can't wait to see it textured!

[Brussel_Sprout]

Right, still debating weather i keep the fin on the back or not. I put the vote to you guys. what you think? Also toying with a tentacle/tounge, with suckers like an octopus. Still needs teeth and have at least 2k triangles left.

Need to get a move on with this!

[omid3098]

I think keeping fin on the back looks better and second tongue is more fit with your creature..

[Buzzy]

I say yes to both the fin and the tongue.
Looking real cool so far!

[lampshadehead]

Cool job. Like the latest additions. Hope you get it all done in time.

[Brussel_Sprout]

Yo,

Finally finished the sculpting and baked out the normal. Model shown here with Ao map in diffuse slot and normal map.

Realtime preview from max viewport.

Looking forward to texturing him! :)

[Brussel_Sprout]

Uv layout in case anybody is interested in that :P

[Brussel_Sprout]

Early Colour test, ignore the colour on the hand.

[Cordero]

The normal is pretty good i think. So is the uvw.
I think that the colors are already cold enough for the topic, but you could always push the green towards the blue a little bit...:D
Anyway, i already like it!

[Brussel_Sprout]

Guys,

Texturing is pretty much finished.

Im not quite sure about his eye?

Will try and get him posed tomorrow.

[GEGRAZE]

man thats looking awsome, i must say wasnt too impressed with the NM, but seriously this texture is totaly changed my opinion, he looks amazing. btw im new to this and wondering how you set up the realtime shader etc, im using max also and just have no idea wt im doing when it comes to veiwing anything in max, can about poly model thats it lol. btw think his eyes need to look hmm less plain, they kinda look like a focal point to me so need to be uber sexy.

[Edragon]

one word....Vicious

Disgusting, and awesome! Perhaps a bit to much of that blood splatter...

[Brussel_Sprout]

Yo guys just submitted my final entry. Would to have liked to spend longer on the multiple views and wire frames but its already 12am and i have to catch a flight tomorrow morning. I have done zero packing!

I think the money shot works well though.

Hulahuga: There can never bee too much blood and gore! :evil:

Cheers for all the advice and feed back :)

[sarN]

damn that thing is UGLY!

[Edragon]

Brutal! That extra squid detail on the tongue is sweet :), the pose is working also.

[Buzzy]

incredibly repulsive!! I love it!

[hulahuga]

With that pose and lightning the blood actually worked very well! :)

Nice one!
