Meet the reptiloid king. The leader of the Lizard People that dwell under the earths surface. The Reptiloid King has been mistaken by religous groups as the devil!

SaberFang

Here is my Monster dude, Former Gladiator champion turned Werewolf. He will bring pain, a lot of pain!

Not Naked

Worked on the clothes for the character and fixed the head a little more.

Character Model

Character model ive started in zbrush after playin around with 3d coats voxels. I didnt like it much but good idea.
Posting this for fun and to keep me motivated. Enjoy!

Barbossa the Badder

Barbossa the Badder is ofcourse Entrant #1 in the challenge as he prides himself on winning any fighting competition in the galaxy (he's 'badder' then anyone else - but in his books good-bad, not bad-bad).

Monster Fight!

Illustrate your entry in the Ultimate Monster Fight Challenge – any shape or form goes! Inter-dimensional, extraterrestrial, supernatural, it doesn't matter. Entries for the first official Monster Fight Challenge must be posted on the blog by end of day December 31st to be valid.

Entries must adhere to the following rules:

• One hour drawing limit. Monster must be finished within 60 minutes. Any medium is acceptable – sketches are fine.
• Monsters mustn't be larger or heavier then a large elephant (around 3 meters across the back and 5000kg). They must be 'material', and not ephemeral or energy beings (all entrants must all be able to 'hit' each other).
  
• A Monster must be given a name by the creator.
• The creator may give a one paragraph background description of the creature.
  
• The creator can assign the Monster three key words to describe it's abilities. For instance, fast, savage, lean etc. Keywords may not include obvious exploits such as impervious, immortal etc.
• More then one monster may be entered into the Monster Fight, but will be treated as separate entries in regard to fighting and advancing in the competition (They'll fight each other).
• Each monster will fight each other, winners determined by a general office vote to be tallied. Ties for the most undefeated creature, or what is considered a valid keyword, will be judged by an impartial body, probably Admin.

Another one

Here it is. Had to neglect the girlfriend to get this one done. enjoy!
3D model soon......ish. I wanna try out 3d coat should be fun.

Art Challenge 3 Submission

Heres my submission for Art Challenge 3. I finally got it done YAY! Was meaning to do it ages ago. I want to do another full body concept soon. Then I'll start a 3d model that will have all the current gen goodness! I was going to get rid of the line art completely but accidentally overlayed it and i liked it, so left it in.

Art Challenge # 3

Thanks to everyone who have contributed over the last few weeks! Guess what time it is? Time for a new art challenge!

~Art Challenge #3~
Produce a Character Concept, in any form, from the description below. This is for a side project being concocted - the game is a side scrolling shooter, like Blackthorne made by Blizzard back in the day.

The Demolitionist:

Stature/Look/Build:

• Big (built, strong)
• Alpha male type character (think Marcus Fenix from Gears of War/Marine from Star Craft II, Wolverine)
• Bald, Beard
• Carries a Shotgun
• Tall 6 ft +
  

Dress/Demeanour:

• Worn singlet
• Worn black leather jacket, open (think Mad Max)
• Tough look/serious composure
• Anti-hero, every man for himself attitude

Options:

• Scar on the face
• Tattoo on the face
  

Background:

• He’s been enslaved unjustly and he wants revenge, big time. He’s “found” himself a shotgun and a leather jacket and wants to get out of the prison that he’s been put into (a la Death Race 2000).

That's it - do with this as you will. This 'challenge' isn't a competition! It's a personal challenge, an opportunity for practice and to have a laugh. Your post can be as simple or finished as you like.

The Little Merman

*My late submission for Art Challenge #1 - Take a classic story or novel and add a twist. I'm jumping on the reversed-sex role bandwagon. Took me a while to post it... and it's not in colour! D:*

Story
The story starts exactly like The Little Mermaid; a young merman with a beautiful voice has a fascination for human artifacts. One fateful night he saves a human, Prince Eric, from a sunk ship; from then on he dreams of being with the humans. His father (the king) finds the human artifacts and shows his disgust by destroying everything his son loves. This sketch is after that moment when the little merman holds the broken face of the Prince's statue.

If the little merman peruses the Prince, will he find love? Will the sea witch use the little merman's stolen voice to command all of the Prince's attention? How would the prince treat the little merman, if he is the exact same Prince from the original Little Mermaid? He may be in for a lot of hurt, would it be worth jeopardizing his life in the sea?

*PS: Feel free to colour this, if you want to try

i call him scribblor, now in 3d!

started off just mucking around doing proper edgeloops on odd shapes, then thought i would put him through the mudbox, the coloured version is the low poly mesh with normals spat out of mud box.
