aug/sept - noob - s2-speedy
 

ok ima try this competition , i alredy have some ideas, i keep changing my mind, but my 1st idea is wot i might go wiv which is guna b a realistic lookin dinosaur wiv mayb a waterfall bkdrop mayb.

will post some concept soon of idea. :D

Best of luck, s2-speedy. One word of warning - don't get too ambitious about scenery at this stage, just concentrate on what this competition is really judged on - texture and modelling skill.

ohh yeh thanks 4 recap fallen- i leave the scenery till last if i have time , i shud have seein as we have 2 months. :D gud luck.

crickey every1 seems 2 have made gud starts, all i have is a few drawings. i still got 2 scan them in. ill do that 2mora and start modelin after i get sum feedback on the concept.

do u think a realistic dinosaur wud b better or a humours 1 (cartoon style).

It depends really... I like realistic ( because I love detail) but a cartoony one could match realistic if you can make it down right hilarious... but that's my opinion.

well, s2-speedy if you ask me i'd say if you are comfatable with detail modelling,,, then go for the realistic,,, if not then do a cell shaded one. But what you can try is a realistic one that has a anime look,,, that freak everyone. you might want to visit SM and see what they got cooking. This is going to be one hot competition.... i can feel it.

Good Luck,
Kumar

thanks 4 the advice guys, ima try and go 4 a detailed 1 see how it comes along(seeing as i drew it realistcly)- if not ima go cartoon style.

i dont think i can think of sumthin that hilaroius ive bin thinkin but aint got nuthin, so thats y ill try realism.

i do feel comfortable with detail modelin so ill see wot happens,

cheers guys - guk luck
s2 (concept will b scanned in 2moro) :P

ok here is my concept of the dino i shall model.

and another view :D hope these are gud enuff.

and another ..

Nice concepts. No forearms though?

nice design its good to be different :p

arms
 

Having no arms kinda gives it a unique personality, very cool!:)

well thnks ppl, glad u like.
u got it colto :D
the reason he has no arms is cuz i wanted it 2 b different.
it also has a short stubby tail. i did have other designs 2 mite post them later.

hey man!! nice sketches you've got there!!
the creature reminds me of nalicow from the first unreal game!!

http://www.cologne-fragg-addictz.de/nalicow.htm :)

doesnt matter!!! good luck to model that guy!!

cool creature dude:tup:

oh cheers guys.
yeh i guess it does a bit bullet, but that creature looked more like a rabbit 2 me :D
i never played that game. i wana play the new 1 thou . :D
well ive started modelin the head. its comin along quite well.

will show sum images of it soon ;) cheers.

ok i got some screenshots. tell me wot u think guys, cheers!

C&C welcome.

another early shot

another 1

and the latest shot wiv eye detail and nostrils :D

and a side view

and a side view!!

looking good man i cant wait to see it all dun

looking good, ( fun to see al those dinosaurs to take shape )

1 critic: the eye looks a little strange!! looks like its pushed inside the head!!!
maybe move the verticles around the eye a bit!!!

cheers guys.

yeh i ada feelin sum1 wud pick up on the eye bit, i will sort it i just wanted 2 show sumthing, still got a long way 2 go. i have bin practising textures too.

i will sort the eye. ne1 have any other crits. :D

Looks like a Salamander with a cut off tail and legs. I like it. Dinosaurs are basically dead for the most part and how they looked, moved, percieved things is basically all theory- fairy tales without actual living proof- IE: no CONCRETE scientific proof about anything other then they existed (the Brontisorious(sp) is one of the most famous hoaxes that ever made it into US schoolbooks). So to set your beast apart, I'd keep the eyes as is. Not everything has or did have 90degree forward vision- it's a 'make your own dino', yours as it is, can only see to the side. A simple animation showing the only way to look forward is by turning it's head and a background based on this being it's key to extinction as being genetically flawed leading to its extinction even before the 'total wipeout' of the other dinos would definalty flesh it out and be interesting- give it character outside the pack of entries. But that's just my opinion. Nice job so far anyways.

thanks meanpi2, i will keep the eye on the side i just meant i would give it a bit more detail round the eye like -eyelid and some creases.

yeh it is make ur own dinosaur so i guess u can have it entirely how u like :D u make a good point meanpi2. cheers

have done more on my model- now has a body will post pic later. but i was wondering do u have 2 UV ur model or can u use a texture cuz i have a very nice dino texture i made.

great start mate!!
mean2pie is right our conceprions are always based on what we see in movies and books ect. I love the original concept! keen to see some more!

woah im glad u like :D i aim 2 impress. if u want 2 see more of my concept ill post sum later along wiv screenshots of the model which i have done more on. i did alot of concept as i luv doin it and it keeps me lots of ideas wen researchin different things.

:D cheers guys.

hehe i like your concepts...so post more of them!!
