Hey Dame!
Very cool idea to do the Garderium with its baby. It makes your creature even more believable and tells a story like David said.
Now that you have a clear idea of the sculpture you want to make, the only thing to do is.... SCULPT!
Keep it up bro.

Hi everyone,

Its been awhile since I was able to get back to this, I have started to work out more muscle structure and kinda where folds of skin would happen. I think my settled on the overall volumes for this creature. I have changed it abit from the original concept giving it more of a chisled face and a broader back. I also decided to have my pedestal on a slope to emphasize an upward journey!

PS: the young one is very WIP atm.

Nice ! they already look great.

Dameo! this is looking Hot! Keep going!

It definitely looks muscular and chiseled, I can feel the weight on that supporting front arm, good stuff

Very cool - like the small dude

Here is a quick update, I decided to spend a bit of time on the face! Its been hard to work and pull myself away from the game prototype!




Cheers!

Ey bud! i am liking the textures you have on the sculpt right now. keep this going!!!

love the little guy at the front and great pose, good stuff!

Very cool character Polygonhead! Great idea having a youngster in the scene as well and the composition of them both is really cool. Look forward to the next post mate.

@Domingos: Glad you like it
@shavedmonkey: Thank you very much, I wouldn't want to get in his way either!
@kingroaw: Thanks for the C&C, your right I was pushing the mesh around in a high level, I fixed all the pinching.
@Goldo_O: Thanks bud for all the support, Im gonna work on the pedistal next to really finish off the story
@gpepper: Thankyou friend!
@Flame: Thanks for the comment, I really liked your action hero
@scottimation: Cheers! I really want this sculpt to feel heavy
@DTRAN: Eyyyyyyyyye bud, thanks for the comment, I really want that skin over muscle look
@yeoman: Thanks, glad you like the little guy and pose
@Sinzalot: Cheers! Im pleased that you mentioned composition, it can make or break any artwork!

Okay....Here is a quick update and then i'm gonna focus on the final finish line and pedestal! After laying out some of the muscle groups, I then took my lowest sub div leveled mesh into max and took the cheap way out and turbo smoothed to uniform my mesh a bit more. I would usually build up another topology but I think i can get away with this cheap fix. I then take the mesh back into Zbrush and project all my details from my old mesh to the new smoothed one!



cheers!

cool creature!

I really dig the face! it looks very alive!
