Legion Juggernaugt

[PROXY]

Along with my requests, I'm working on another model. Okay, I stole the idea a bit from DvO's tower, but actually I got the idea, because he said he copied the hands from the tree of life. So I took a closer look on the model and thought: hey, this could be a pretty awsome demon uber tier 3 creature. and I started to wrap and edit it a bit. here is what I've got so far. I was already a bit further, but the armor I made was crappy so I'm "startin" again with this version. Any comments or critics are highly apprecicated.

Btw. it's called Juggernaugt.

It's a cool idea really
But... something on his face is a bit common, I think that if you replace the eyes with something more creepy, or give him some type of carapace that cover then...
But only from the beggining I can see this model will be awesome and original

Thanks

Jeah, it tought about something like a mask like metal thingy that covers the upper part of his head, only leaving his jaw and his teeth left. what do you think?

 

[infrenus]

Yeah, something like it ^^

New WIp.

This time, I'm going for an complete model edit, because I'm too lazy to make things from scratch xD

just to informate you, the chest and leg wrap is just permanently made on the flesh texture. to 99% it will later be wrapped on metal. I just wrapped it now basic on the flesh texture to not have 10000 colours on the model.

Uhm, Why dont try a new demonic armor desing? =/
That armor does'nt look good Im my opinion, but the part that needs more redone I think is the legs armor, its a bit out of place.
But the face looks more evil

Mhm. I could try.

For the feet. yeah. I already fixed their wrap

 

[infrenus]

The siege demon died? D:

Not really, I'm just lacking in ideas =/

 

[Dionesiist]

Work on this mooooore. It's such a rad idea.
For the armour, you could make it involve a lot of chains, since he's probably huge and all, and making armour to fit would be too much effort.

 

[BlackDoom]

Instead of 2 eyes, a mask with 4 of them? Not spider like, but a bit like that. Hmm?
And too much red for my linking. It shouldn't be pale undead, yet scorched or bruised tissue - yes. All that red makes me think of living tissue.

Weren't demons halfway through dead? /:

 

[Dionesiist]

No, the demons from the Burning Legion are very much alive. Are you thinking of Dreadlords?

 

[BlackDoom]

I guess so. Hey, haven't played in years now. I'm happy I was that close!

 

[RiotZ]

Don't use a mask it makes the skin look like shit.. And don't use armor on his feet.. I think you will be better of with a sort of chained beast type style.

It reminds me of this: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...t:429,r:17,s:109&tx=75&ty=87&biw=1280&bih=709

 

[XenoStalker]

The armor plating and feet "claws", if they are such a thing, look very odd. But it's such a cool model.

 

[PROXY]

Woah. Didn't thought that I would get so many posts so quickly

Anyway, as you all seem to very like the idea with the chains, I'll see what I can fabricate

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

i do like the hunched back, the face is okay, the claws give a nice touch to it...
but the four legs are meh...

want me to make an armour for him? lol jk, make it yourself ^^

how about starting modeling on your own, heh?
get yourself my msn or icq addy and i'll show you around a little if you want...

 

[PROXY]

hey m0RpH, you're back?

well, it is based on the tree of life, and it is more or less just a rewrap with a few fixes yet.

hehe, jeah, I'm going to make it myself

what do you mean?
completly from scratch? I've got milkshape actually, but it is somehow complicated to make a complete complex scratch model..
do you also got skype? if not, I'll get icq now

I'm telling you right now the best part of the skin on the model is the face, and with a mask there it is covered up..

meh, i'm... not active, just lurking, but wanted to write something encouraging
i use 3dsmax 2009 (anything above got more bugs than 2009 version, we dont even use them on work)
you can however model with which software you feel comfortable with, you can almost always somehow convert it to .mdl (mostly export it as .obj, import to max, export to .mdl)


and yes, putting a mask on there would cover up too much...
the chin region is getting messy already, adding more geo and color there would be even more confusing^^

its "based" on the tree of life, so why not even push it further and edit it even more
(being lazy doesnt count)
how about putting the whole torso on the naga guard?
(like having him have no feet, but a tail)

 

[infrenus]

I like the idea of the four legs, he looks like a big living plattform of war =p

 

[Devine]

Work on the belly some more. The wrap there is hideous.
The armor looks good but not very original, I guess.

hehe :>

oh okay. maybe I can get a student version from somewhere

true true. Jeah, I already deleted all the armor and I'm experimenting at the moment with it.

well, the problem with that would be, that the attack animation of the naga guard isn't very "juggernautish", as it is just a impale attack.
and I somehow like the four legs more. but thanks for the suggestion

jeah, that was my intention

Work on the belly some more. The wrap there is hideous.

As I said, the belly is just a placeholder, the wrap there was just thrown at the texture, no rewrapping yet.
And I'm already working on the armor

Considering the juggernaut idea... I've always hated big units. They're so massive, yet 50% of the time they're doing nothing, waiting between attacks.
All you end up with is a slumbering beast, eating popcorn as 5 fledglings chew it up to morsels.

Say it to the XL units on battleforge... =p

 

[BlackDoom]

Will the attack animation(s) get modified as well? It would be interesting to see a swipe-like action for this fellow. Would pair perfectly with some splash damage ability, don't you think?
