WIP 1

WIP 2

i know it looks very strange, that is because the skin has not been made yet and atm it just looks like a jumble of random units.

please give ideas, constructive criticism, and comments !

It's a Druid of the Claw with an abomination head. Yeah, very impressive.

please read the topic before you post.

It still does not change the fact that all you did on the MODEL itself was to replace Druid of the Claw's head with an abomination head. You have to do more changed on the model itself. Just switching\making a texture isn't enough.

Guy, i suggest you put more tentacles, insane purulent bubbles and Better arms and a bit of asymmetry, like the concept art

 

[GnoobSauce]

It's only a work in progress. Read the topic guys, seriously.

you STILL didn't look carefully at the thread, i also added tentacles on his back. in all, i did:

opened druid of the claw model
deleted head without trying to delete body (pain)
delete druid of the claws claws
made loincloth thinner
made his boots thinner so they'll look like feet in the actual skin
opened an abominaiton model
removed everything from abomination model besides head
merged the abomination head geoset to druid of the claw
after like 5 attempts i finally got the right bone to connect the head to
i then edited the torso and arms a bit to look larger
i then got out two tentacle models from the forgotten one
merged the geosets
bent the tentacles (which was a pain)
get them to the right place of the druid of the claw
attach them to the right bone
i also made the stomach wider to look like a "bubble", you can't see that one though because it's only noticeable sideways.

just because it looks simple dosn't mean it was :/
i also DID ask for constructive criticism, not someone to bash me down.

takakenji, it's nice and all, it's great for your first(or one of your first) modeling attempt, but it really does looks like a DotC with abomination head and some tentacles on his back. You should work on it more, give it some bubbles, make the head larger, well, I don't know, but give it something new.

 

[D a w n]

the problem is: it looks very random right now, because it misses a custom texture/ or fitting ingame textures. That's also the reason why you cannot really give critism as the changes are too little at the moment.

 

[takakenji]

okay, i changed it a bit

i made a bump on the back as a bubble, a larger shoulder for a bubble, made the belly bubble look better, added claws for hands

 

[infrenus]

Its better =3~
But one question: The tentaclewill be animated? If not, I suggest to put the tentacle in the finish, because of pinning

 

[takakenji]

i don't know how to animate

might get an animator to do that, i'll decide it later
