***so I didn't realize the forum would adjust the image dimensions after I uploaded it. currently it's been adjusted below the required size for submission, after talking with malcom I'm uploading one that's 2.3mb, but the otherwise exactly the same. Hopefully this doesn't disqualify me as I was not aware the forum would resize it =/

As the title suggests I'm making an Oliphant War-Doctor. Inspired heavily from tribal African/Indian culture. How quickly I'm able to churn through the work I need to get done will determine how many, and how complex the character's additional assets will be in terms of baubles and weaponry and armor and what not. My primary focus will be getting some really detailed surfacing in on his physique coupled with a powerful pose

I'll keep updating this post with my most recent update so you don't need to scroll like mad to get to it

Wow, this is looking great! I really like the proportions and style.

[malcom]

Really nice work here. I agree, the style and proportions are really nice. Keep it up.

[glubglubz]

Very cool! I like how angular the anatomy is, it gives it a lot of life and personality.
I'm looking forward to seeing some armor/weapons!

Fin fact: Scientists have studied elephant brains and realized that they think humans are cute.

[archsider]

Id really like to see how it ends

[sheepnerfer]

@archsider me too, haha, hopefully I'm able to finish it on time!
@glubglubz thanks! I think I'm going to keep the clothing pretty basic and focus the skin detail since there's so much fun to be had there. I might 1-2 pieces of armor. That is a fun fact ^^
@malcom Thank you malcom!
@Mateus Thanks! Glad you like it so far =)

here's an update from the last 2 days work :

[malcom]

Those details are looking great. The attention to detail is amazing. The face/head looks really good. You do not wanna get punched in the face by this guy This is looking better every update. Really inspiring.

[sheepnerfer]

@malcom thank you =) lotsa wrinkles haha
mostly finished with secondary details on the oliphant, ready for retopo today.

[sheepnerfer]

had a bit of a slow last two days. finished retopo for the body, and did some prop work, finally gave him a trunk, which needs some polish and a quick retopo as well. his weapons are made from African balboa trees because he's so huge =P Today I'm going to try and get his pose done, polish anything that needs it after posing, finish all his props sculpting and topo and possibly start UVing.

[sheepnerfer]

here's my progress from yesterday. did a quick pose in maya and test render in keyshot. Other than doing a final polish pass, and finessing his pose (fingers, expressions etc) I'm calling Oli done. I wasn't able to finish sculpting all the props last night, but pretty close on his weapons which I need to retopo along with the skull. Also need to add the ropes around his weapon and waist, and possible arms which will be the main focus today, and then hopefully get everything UV'd and start baking textures by the end of the night. (those poles will be spears eventually but I'm leaving the environmental props to last if I have time)

[malcom]

Looks awesome man. Really liking the powerful pose

[Jkooh]

Hey, i like the proportions and the style of this guy ! nice work

[Daniel_Velph]

The skin looks great with the AO pass, nice work!

[glubglubz]

Im not 100% sold on that pose. Normally whichever arm is forward, the opposite leg is also forward. It feels a little off balance otherwise.

[sheepnerfer]

@malcom thanks malcom!
@Jkooh Thank you!
@Daniel_Velph Thanks Daniel, hopefully once I get textures on there I've dug in far enough for some of the skin grooves to not disappear.
@glubglubz It's probably because this is just before his rear arm would swing forward. He's basically doing a superman punch , so if this were animated, roll forward a couple frames and his left leg would stay the same and his rear arm would be forward as you say. I want it to feel like it's the frame just before he leaps off the rock, over the spears and slams his right arm forward
here's a small update :

[glubglubz]

Fair enough

[timdan]

Man, love the stylized anatomy. So good. Great work!

[briansmuin]

Absolutely awesome!
