DWIV - 3D - Ashley Jukes

[ashleyjukes]

Hi Everybody,

Lots of great work here! So, this is the start of my model, I've been lazy so I didn't post anything earlier. I'm modeling a cyborg gorilla (concept to come), and this is his base head. He will have plating and mechanical bits attached to his head. This isn't his final sculpt, I hope to have that done after I get the mechanical parts put in. Hope you guys like him!

-Ashley.

Looking good.

[SeKsi]

very nice start. eager to see it with the mechanical bits and rest of him too

[r4ptur3]

fantastic sculpting! Do you have any of the cyborg parts worked out or are you going to freeball it as you go? Be careful with this one -- there's a popular spawn character named "cygor" (my room mate loves that guy) who is a hard mix between a gorilla and machine. If you add something to make it ultra unique it's gonna rock out.

[Goldo_O]

It's looking so great Ashley! I can't wait to see what you will come up with this guy. I wanted to start a gorilla character myself, so I'll definitely check this thread for inspiration. Keep it up!

[Ged]

cool hope you can finish this year :)

[Spark]

Ahhhh, there you are! Glad to see your entry Ashley, and the sculpt is already looking great in it's early state:). Curious to see your concept sketch, as I know it can get dangerous going into 3d without one, but I am sure you would be fine. Can't wait to see the final!

Hi Guys,

So I've been busy working away and I'm going to try and post more in the last two weeks. Here's a look at my concept sheet. Hope you guys like it!

-Thanks Everyone.

-Ya Ged, I hope I can finish this year too!

-Yes, Here I am Brett! Now you don't have to be curious any longer!

[coldkodiak]

you need to get crackin on this dude. ;) Pretty cool setup imo

[garagarape]

Your concept sheet is super cool.
Lot of impact with the layout and structure you chose.
The gorilla sculpt is great too. Can't wait to see more.

[ashleyjukes]

Hi Guys,

dude.. thats freakin tight! I look forward to seeing textures on this bad boy. You start on the low rez yet? and is his left arm larger? or is it how you have your lens set?

[Gav]

Looks cool, liking those arms :)

[Bashomaru]

They just extended the competition, so that should help you make the deadline.

Might I suggest increasing the difference in size between the two arms? Right now it is relatively subtle. More exaggeration could be very cool.

Nice work so far. Looking great!

M!

[Chai]

this is looking very awesome !

[MoP]

Oh damn, that's awesome! Great work, keep it up :)

[iatriki]

Nice! I like the asymmetrical feel on the arms.
Very cool.

[Mongrelman]

Really cool, looking forward to seeing the lowpoly with bakes.

[Exitrockstar]

Great structure friend,the mechanism looks good on the character too.

[dehebo]

nostalgia... reminds me of a toy I had as a kid, albeit that had no organic parts. zoids were awesome

[katzeimsack]

the broken road is too soft, i needs harder edges.
I'm looking forward to your final images :)

[ashleyjukes]

Thanks katzeimsack, but I don't think I'll be able to fix that and do everything else. Maybe I'll do it after!

[foreverendering]

Very nice work Ashley - Cool idea for the pedestal. Looking forward to your final images

Damn this is very cool Ashley! I really like your idea for the beauty shot

[javier.deandres]

Very great model, textures, etc...
The beauty shot is very original!!

[IronHawk]

Love it. Beauty shot is killer. =)

[MoP]

Yeah, nice work, and good presentation.

The textures in the front/back view shots seem quite flat though, it's strange since your highpoly was quite detailed and "deep", maybe it's just the lighting that's washing it out?

Good stuff though!

[jaalto]

awesome piece :).. gj!

[Kzo]

Haha the screenshot is sooo nice!
