Also, do we know if we need to have a specific background on this one? The 2D contest says you have to include a frame, but I can't see any stipulations in the 3D rules. Is it just supposed to be a gradient / solid colour / textured backdrop?

Has everyone given up the fight?
Given up the War?

Does anybody know if this is showing too much body so far? I wanted to have all the forelegs in.

you're fine assuming he has a fairly long tail.

I really like this little guy

Just a bit busy. I can assure you I will be taking this one all the way.

Ichiban · 28-05-2009, 03:21 PM

I'm still fighting too

jjvdb15 · 28-05-2009, 09:27 PM

hey here is a concept i started, still needs a lot of work and some sort of armor or something to distinguish it. Doubt i'll finish this, school is getting busy now.

Pets are coming along everyone keep it up!

Spiderclaw · 28-05-2009, 09:37 PM

Update time - here are a few changes I had time for today. Needs more texture and the paws need sorting out, and the pincer things are a bit flat.

polysmooth · 28-05-2009, 11:22 PM

Still got a little bit more to go...
I'll try to finish tonight or tomorrow and I'll
post some good renders...

MonteCristo · 29-05-2009, 12:52 AM

jjvd - Welcome to the proceedings mate good start.

Spiderclaw - Yours sure made me smile.

Seeee? Only thing is you need to be careful with the textures. The rules state only a single colour.

Polysmooth - Looking slick as always.

Here's my update for the day. I'm worried that I've made this all a bit too cutesy though...

the only thing I would worry about are the colors. Maybe a darker grey for tghe doggish looking thing so it fits in better with everything else. That, or lighten everything else up a tad.

Sebiomegas · 29-05-2009, 06:41 AM

Great work from all. @ MonteCristo: Are you using one of the MatCap you posted on cg Chain ? I love the Monte_White Queen material, now I can really see what I'm sculpting.

By the way, I'm glad you posted the link for the Decimation plugin, I was starting to get tired of those memory crashes.

Here is an update. I want to make it quick and simple.

Spiderclaw · 29-05-2009, 11:50 AM

Monte - too cute? Ain't no such thing! As long as there are some nasty little needle teeth waiting when you get too close.

I was planning to grayscale my image and then colourize it? Are we allowed to do that? My Rooch is mostly shades of beige anyway so I'm aiming for something like sepia but lighter. I can redo the paint job on the bowl if I need to but I don't see the point if I can alter the colour postprod? I didn't see anything about it in the rules.

To those people still running - congrats on your work so far. It all looks minty fresh.

MonteCristo · 29-05-2009, 08:19 PM

Not sure about that. To be honest if you hunt around for some good MatCaps you shouldn't really need to.

BiGToE - I need to know something... Are we able to put multiple angles in our 1 1000x1000 image? Would appreciate if you found out. I think a lot of people would prefer this.

Ichiban · 29-05-2009, 08:36 PM

An Ebizorie update.

Actually I'm using A modded version of the Standard gray clay. Just played with some settings, adding a bit of cavity to it. Glad you like the White Queen. She's not pretty, and definitely don't ONLY use her, use Red Wax Redux too, or Mercurian clay when sculpting, to see how well your sculpt takes shadow. As you say, White queen's to see everything, so it's good to get an idea of the opposite end of the spectrum.

Looking good, Ichiban. Unusual, and with lots of character. I like it.
