hey, it looks good, its a bit like a T-REX... i am looking forward to see the improvements.

Looks great!
Welcome to the forum.

What method are you using, poly by poly?

At last we are having a real challenge on this forum. ;)

Hi and Thanks
 

regarding your question the answer is I have no idea,
I start with a box then I Bandsaw it and model it from there.:)

thanks
dae

Ah, ok. That is a form of box modeling. :)

looks great so far!! Im glad to see that more people are joining the contest this month! :)

An update
 

This time it is a test render.

Dae

looking very awesome so far!!!!!

great leg detail

i like the legs too, all of the geometry is very unique, original

Almost done
 

I am almost done just a bit of tweaking and adding a few bits and bobs here and there.:)

Dae

great mate..looking like this one is gonna be hard to beat!!

good work, great muscle defination starting to appear

Agree.. looking grrrrrreat!! :)

Rigged 1/2
 

Hi there

I have rigged him, is there an easier way to rig opposed to using skelegons,
which I am still working out.:)

Dae

Rigged 2/2
 

Thanks DigiMatt and Kevin, I am glad that is looking good,
I think I will have to redo the hands they dont look right.

Dae:)

Looking great!
Some of the muscles on the back legs look too square which gives it a cartoonish look.

Talons - he needs Talons... :D

Great muscle and detail work. The only problem is its head. Don't get me wrong, you did a good job modeling. This Hellbeast just looks so friendly! I can imagine small children riding on its back. This could, of course, be what you intended.

The check list
 

Hi everybody

I totally agree with you Mark and CheesEv, in fact I was about to put up a list of things left to do, anyway here is the list:

1: Teeth.
2: More thorns or horns, whatever just more of them (similiar to the ones found
on the back of Dojo from the Samurai Spawn Series see photo)
3: Shackels and chains.
4: An evironment for him to be in.

more will come later.

Dae
:)

Day 15
 

Hi all

I have added more spikes, increased the size of his eye brows, added a set of teeth, eyelids and a tounge:D
still working on the bones.

thanks,

Dae:D

wow super... i dont think a small child can ride on his back now.. :) its not good... it's excellent !
will you texture it ?

... And he's saying "Ugh.. Too much Chilli sauce on that kebab ... *urk*" :)

wow awesome work!! If this entry doesnt win this month Im gonna eat my hat ;)

Dammit, DigiMatt, now I'm rooting for it not to win! :P

TheEndless

Ok, maybe he's actually saying 'I'll eat Digi's hat for him' :D

Thanks
 

First thing I would like to say is thanks for those great reviews, THANKS, regarding RiGLEY question, I will have a go at texturing it, but I cant promise anything spectacular, my texturing skills are not that good, but hey, this model seems a good place to start learning:)

Thanks

Dae

This model rocks!

Been out of the loop for a while.....but now that I'm pretty much done my model at least I know that I'm losing to a really awesome model...Great work!!!! *sob*

almost final
 

Hi everybody

I have been pretty busy with work lately and have not been able to do much more on the model, I have tried to texture but to no success,
so I had to use many Procedural Textures.:D

I have not textured it for the final render it took long enough just as it is,
here it is:)

Dae:D

FINAL RENDER
 

Well here it is,
this model shall be moving to WIP Forum after this Challenge.:)

Dae:)

Awesome man.

Christ I'd be scared if I saw that thing on the way home from the pub. :D

*smack around the back of kevs head* :D
