Hey everybody.
I got some time to work on something more interesting and I found this concept made by Greg Broadmore who has some amazing art on his blog and website.
So I started working on this (after I contacted him) and it is the most fun I have had for a long time :)
All zbrush so far and if it turns out good I will make a low poly version and bake it down as well. Still very early WIP.

Any feedback is more than welcome.

    Looking really good so far! Your matching the concept very closely. Only two things I noticed were, the feet, or hooves, seem to have too much of a crease, and the mouth need to be a bit wider. Don't forget to add in that wicked tongue : P

    So i got this baby painted ( just the tong left )
    I am pretty happy with how it looks so far so I think I am going to bake it down to a proper low poly mesh and bake some decent maps for it.
    Just fast zbrush render:
    Any comments and critiques are very welcome :)

    Gross! That's so awesome. nailed it bro. Only thing is his shins look a little smooth. It would be cool to see a wrinkle pass on them like you did for the rest of the body. Can't wait to see some gross specular on him! :)

    KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!...
    Ahem, look great so far! Especially the uhhh... Face I guess you'd call it. I agree about the shin wrinkles could use a bit more wrinkly goodness on all the joints in fact. They look pretty detailed in the concept.

    Thanks for the critiques guys.
    I went on vacation and now that I am back I forgot to check if anybody replayed on my thread ( i don't usually get any replies :) ) , so I did not know about all of those great inputs and just started working on the low poly and the texture maps.
    Those are really good points so I will go back ant try to get some more wrinkles in ( this does not have to change the low poly so i just have to rebake the maps.)
    In the mean time this is what I got . 9500 polys and viewed in max with 3point shader:

    and the wireframe :
    texxture-work02_006.jpg

    How does that look so far. I can't say I am happy with the specular but not really sure how to improve it some more.
    I am using the 3point shader as i said and they have that option for additive specular and I am not 100 % sure what it means. I believe I don't need to shift the hue the opposite direction in order to get the white highlights so i just left the specular in grayscale mode. Am I on a right track here?
    Also I did cut my uv's a bit more than i wanted to but only in order to get some more uv space used.
    Here are the flats :

    Ah rigging. I remember my first rig... It was terrible and made children cry. Yours looks much better than mine. Are you gonna try a walk cycle for him?
    Her? It?

    Hey guys. Adam :) nice to see you here and thanks man. The tong unfortunately is not rigged. I made a spline and used path deform modifier for it as it is only for posing. Nobody will be animating it. :)
    Mr hobo thanks man :) Not going to do the walking thing .. it is going to be pretty hard with this thing :) and i rather start sculpting something else.

    I took some more time and I prepared some nice shots with this baby. For first time I decided it is about time to make a podium for it and a better presentation. All rendered in 3point shader (which is awesome) and just a touch of PS for the background.
    C&C are very welcome and much appreciated. I hope you like it :)
