yeah im in!! i didn't finish the other challenge ( the challenge before the pirate one ). but this time i will finish it:)

now here comes my idea:
i want to make the 3headed hellhound named: cerberus!!
this hellhound was guarding the gate to the underworld!! the dead was welcome to walk in :) but the dead had to stay in there!! if you wants to see images of it...try a google search :)
for the story of this beast ( i told it already ) i am giving you this link: http://www.loggia.com/myth/cerberus.html

sketches are coming soon!!!
hope more people will join this one :)

good luck for upcoming joiners and the one who allready joined in!!

( can you guys understand my english?? )

hey cerberus sounds like a god idea it was included in the game final fantasy 8 so that could give you some good reference just an idea

thanks for the tip sspikedidley... but i never played final fantasy :)

my inspiration are the hellhounds in the game ( and movie )resident evil!!! but then... he's got a larger body and 3 heads :)
well... here is a ( digital ) sketch to get an idea of how i have it in mind!!

mmmh.... i see another one at simplymaya.com is also doing the cerberus!!
is that a problem??? please tell me!!

i don't think it would be a problem unless one of you decides to copy the other but if you are worried about it being a problem PM mtmckinly and see what he says

I wouldn't worry about the other cerberus, it would be nice to compare to the two when the challenge is over. Good luck

Dae

well allright... i just go further with it!! when their are coming any problems, i will stop with it!!

anyhow, here is a first w.i.p!!! i wants to make him a bloody bastard ( just like in the R.E games )!! with scars around his eyes and things!! i dont know if i have the skills to make that!! but i will give it a try :)

the line on the nose looks a little strange but maybe you have already sorted that now back to my dragon lol

Looking good bullet... i agree with the line at his nose... I think a little spin quads and reworking the area around his eyes will save you time in a long run. Like the ears.

thanks...here is a little update:

a little hard to judge because the colour is a little dark can you brighten it up a bit please looking good though what i can see

sorry... here is a brighter one!!!

Looking good... like the decay skin thing.

looks very promising...can you post a side shot? because it looks like the snout is a bit short.

Hmm,,, you might want to look at the teeth, the top set and bottom set does not look quite right. Then again its a mytical creature so what the hell,, make the front 4 of them larger than the rest and do the Lips and jaw larger, mussle defination....bla bla bla.. Ok i am thinking too much. Wish i had more time to do something.

heej...thanks for the comments!!will see what i can do with it!! here is a side view!! i did shorter the snout!! also shorter the teeth a bit!

as you can see the "red teeth holder" ( how you name that? :) )
is not fitting perfectly yet!!! will fix that too!!

thanks again for the tips!!!

and the teeth object!! always having trouble with the mouth!! its a hard thing to model i think!!

well...i think the head is almost finished!!

The eyeball seems too protruded out.

Looking good!

the eyeball seems to protruded out because it has to be protruded out!! ( yeah i've learned a new english word :P )

here is a small update!! just joined the heads together!!
i have no idea yet how i should add those 3 babys to the body :)

looking good i think it would look a lot better if the snout was longer or have you tried that way already

Certainly a good start here! He looks almightily peeved at something! I think Cerberus must have an extra wide body to accommodate all those heads.

Cool,, looks like some of my thoughts are used there. :) You might want to make eye sit around some eyelids. Looking good, keep it up.

Very good. I would tone down the specularity on the red part of the mouth. and maybe raise the gloss a bit.

Might make the interior of the mouth more pinkish rather than deep red.

i like all the comments and tips you guys are giving me :D
thnQ all


sspikedudley: the snout was longer in the beginning, but i like it more myself when its shorter :)

Fallenswordsman: he looks almighty peeved because he has no body :P

kumar: yeah i used some of your thoughts!!

R4s1n: thank you for the tip...i changed the specularity a bit

mtmckinley: I will try to find a more realistic colour for the mouth!!


now realy have to go find a way to make the body!!
screens coming soon!!

http://www.tuttoconsole.com/gadget/finalfantasy8.htm

i love the final fantasy series!!!
heres a pretty good image of the cerberus just for some referance

and look at the siren at the bottom i love the way she has wings coming from her head :)

EDIT:

by the way looking good so far ;)

mmh im realy stuck with the body!! why does that beast have 3 heads?? :P


well here is a first try...but i dont like it myself...maybe i should delete this part of the body and start over again????

I'd suggest keeping at it as it is. Simply make the shoulders area broader than you normally would (after all, he's goiing to need strong legs/shoulders at the front to cope with the extra weight). Then, as you move further down the body, make it thinner but muscular as you progress towards the hindquarters...

I wonder if this thing needs three food bowls. And can you imagine cleaning up after it?

thanks mark... i will see what i can do with it!!!

yay lol wonder if it has 3 exit holes to. poor lamp post

lol... i can give him 3 "exit holes" :D



still working on the body :ermm:

Were facing stiff ness from the maya side this time... Im too busy to keep up the fight :( go for it guys! Kepp the side up!

well im doing my best chrispo!! but for some reason i can't seem to make the body look good :(

dont forget guys we still have 23 days left to make something cool!!!

Yeh - I think they were a bit :alien: about the clean sweep we did last time - but we'll try our best!

Bullet - what kinds of problems are you having with the body?

Hah ... come on fellas - remember that the Mayans have too much cash to flash to let them get away with winning :D

well modeling the body isnt that hard...but let it look like 'nice' is harder :) here is a screen how it looks like the moment!!

Definitely taking good shape there though. Maybe make the front legs look a little beefier, and you'll get away with it no problem...

thanks mark... here's an update of the body :) i want to add more "death" heads in his body to give that creapy feeling!!
it looks a little weird at the moment, but i am gonna to tweak some here and there!!! it also looks me fun to give him a chain what is stuck around his feet, and with a cutted head on the end of the chain!!

yeah i know.... its a sick idea :) but looks me fun to make!!
i think it will add a lot to the atmosphere ( correct word?? ) in the final render!!
