Sweet looking head, can't wait to see the rest.

Thanks @rezilin @independhans @alien_hand !

So I'm kind of just playing with shapes right now to see whats working. The rope around his forearm will be much thicker with wider ends for silhouette purposes. The priest beads are just place holders for now but will be damaged and have a design on them later. Theres a jewel shard in his chest that I want to have skin kind of wrapping around almost as if its being held in there. I haven't really done much to the main torso yet and back but this is also a really early stage right now. I plan to give him shoulder armor as well. Possibly a face of a traditional oni demon. Lots to do still. Glad you guys like it so far.

Digging the silhouette dude. Just an idea it would be tricky to do but I think it could look cool having the rope wrap around most of its forwarm with hooks or locks on the end like it just escaped containment.

A couple of different angles of the current stage I'm at. Last update for tonight. Haven't touched the ropes yet. Broke a little symmetry for the front and back body. Lots to still do. Might start some of the armor tomorrow.

Nice progress so far. Those elbows are huge . Gives me a very monster hunter feel.

briandolan89 2016-12-23 16:10:31 UTC #29

Thanks! Yeah it's kind of giving me that feel as well lol

Made an oni mask acting as a shoulder plate. I liked the idea that he would wear it at some point but it was strong enough to be armor and just slings it on his shoulder. The mark on the mask is a demonic symbol for Returning to the infernal realm. So maybe he puts it on to return to hell. (Work in progress lol) Still need to make the strap for it but for now I think I'm going to start blocking out the back of the body. Want to make sure I have the entire body done before I start adding any more assets like chains, lanterns, talismans, etc etc. Not sure on what ill make exactly but those are thoughts for now.

Kamul 2016-12-24 05:48:27 UTC #31

Woaaaah this shouder plate, really felling the Toukiden vibe here =o

What a progress @briandolan89 will it be finished in game res or are you going to just render him ?

briandolan89 2016-12-24 14:41:34 UTC #32

Thanks man! @Kamul Im glad you like it so far. Ill definitely be making it game res but I'll probably stick to about 30-50k tris for the end result. Who knows though maybe ill do a little higher, or a little lower. End result will be game ready though

Woaaah looks Amazing. The mask on the shoulder looks great!!!!!

briandolan89 2016-12-24 20:13:40 UTC #34

Thanks brotha! @drakkon29

alien_hand 2016-12-25 11:31:18 UTC #35

Dude loving the crazy detail you're putting into this. The shoulder mask is awesome dude

briandolan89 2016-12-25 17:58:55 UTC #36

You guys are great. I'm glad you all like it. Tons to do and still to come!

alien_hand 2016-12-25 22:43:38 UTC #37

There Bloody BETTER BE DUDE!!!!

lavitz 2016-12-28 07:16:06 UTC #38

This guy is coming out awesome. Part of me wants to see his beads as dragonballs for a joke.
Can't wait to see what colors you go with, getting the right set of colors without having too many might be tough, but I'm sure you're going to nail it!

Looking forward to seeing all of your progress =D

fantasymaster 2016-12-28 07:52:29 UTC #39

Nice monstrosity, keep it up!

briandolan89 2016-12-29 20:21:16 UTC #40

Trying to figure out some proportions right now but I wanted to keep the Kanabo aspect considering thats an iconic weapon of an Oni to use and I didn't want to add another asset to have it hold on his body, so why not have it as a weapon. lol (Still subject to change)
I decided to change the name from Oni Wyvern to Kuroi Akumu (Black Nightmare) Theres a lot of Oni's popping up on this contest and lets be honest, Oni Wyvern sounds dumb. lol I made some base armor for the legs but I haven't detailed them yet. Now that I have pretty much everything blocked out for the most part Im going to just hammer it with detail. Theres a lot to still do but next time I post I would imagine it will be a full detailed character and posed
