LotusEater/ Snow creature

[Arkadius]

Hey I'm new around here but I've decided to give this comp a go! I've decided to forgo the concepting and just go into the 3d stage since I'm very pressed for time due to school. I'm thinking Walrus..

[Insania]

Hi. Your nik(Lotuseater)remind me one Opeth song.(melodic death metal band)
Do you like this music?

[Arkadius]

Of course I do I like both Opeth and Nevermore, update later tonight, I tried skipping the concept stage and its not going as well as I had hope so its back to the concept stage O.o

[Arkadius]

Small Sketch This will be my base.

[Arkadius]

Thanks guys!
I did another concept while listening to lecture in class :P the only thing is my scanner isnt working.. but I think it looks better ^^

Anyway I made a quick base mesh in max and started doing a basic shape. I think I will retopo now.

looks really cool

[lampshadehead]

yeah, that looks awesome. The face has lot of character. I will watching for whatyou do after the retopo.

[Insania]

Good start :D

[kogen]

Great idea combining a walrus with a body builder. I like his teeth :) Will he get fins as well?

[thefmilyofblood]

Cool! I just hope he doesn't stab himself in the chest with his teeth...

[Arkadius]

Martin_x: Thank you!

lampshadehead: Yeah Retopoing is a pain but I got through the first wave, but for some reason the process always pays off in large amounts

Sadone: Thanks, I'll add some fins just for you :)

Insania: Thank you :D

Thefamilyofblood: Heh that why he has a fat neck makes it hard to bend down :P, I'll make the teeth short so it seems more functional thanks for you're input.


Heres the Retopo!

very nice progress. he's definitely powerful looking. Looks like the HULK if he were turned into Walrus. =] can't wait to see this textured, keep it up.

[Arkadius]

Thanks E4sy!

Heres a small update+ paintover still working on the legs and hands.

damn that's a beast.

[lampshadehead]

Looks like the retopo went great. This guy certainly does look like he was born to laydown a beating. I'm not sure what's up with the knees, is he wearing knee pads?

[Arkadius]

Thanks Big Toe

I'm still working on the feet Lamps. So hold on I'll post one more update by today. :)

[Cordero]

Did you write BMX on the upper left corner? Why would a giant walrus need a bmx on his back, in the land of snow?:D:D
Just kidding, great model, and i dig the walrus idea a lot. And i also am curious about the knees!

I wonder how will you do the textures.

[Stoneking]

Yeah, this is awesome, really love it
Congratulations,
Cheers

[xxxcubanxxx]

one swing of those hands and he kills the whole competition...lol :D

[Arkadius]

Cordero: Thanks it says "back" :P The knees are almost done I'll have anotehr WIP tonite
And the textures I have no idea... :( Thinking about it...

Stoneking: Thanks I'm glad you like my work :)

xxxcubanxxx: Who told you my plan?! :P

pretty sweet. nice matcap, too. maybe close his mouth? kinda looks like he's panting...

[Arkadius]

Thanks I like his mouth semi open, but I'll see what I can do!

[Insania]

Nice character. Creative idea. :D

[Arkadius]

[Arkadius]

good to see someone going the extra step and putting their model in an engine.

[Buzzy]

I wouldn't quite call it an engine...looks like xNormal's model viewer. Not alot different than Marmoset or even Max's viewport with dx shaders.

Its a shame you couldn't finish. This model is really cool and has alot of style. Very nice work. Let's see it finished!

[chris_solo]

coOl character!! great work!
