Love the details of anatomy, looks amazing. :cool:I'm not an expert with ZBrush myself, but I have to agree about the proportions. The huge head makes the body look a bit tiny. Most heroic creatures have a rather small head sitting on massive upper body, plus the legs could need more volume compared to the arms.

The armor you made is awesome, but doesn't fit with that character. I picture a minotaur as a very powerful, brutal creature, which requires a really heavy armor with rather raw shapes and design. Too much ornaments and stuff make it look like elven armor.


TDW;)

This is a good model mate...the ones in Narnia are bloody good too but too furry and sort of Muppet like to me...then again Im a fussy bugger with movies and we all have our own interpretations LOL...thats why we create art in the first place.

Im not sure I agree TDW...again it comes down to our individual perceptions. I honestly think it has or would have more impact if it had nearly no armour at all. I mean we all see the dude with a 40kg battle axe and armour 3 inches thick..which would scare the crap out of me!!But something like a berserker with no armour or very little...completely muscled and just raw power would also be imposing.

I probably agree in weapons...a bow wouldnt suit this kind of warrior I suppose...more of a mace/warhammer or a two handed sword. It will depend on what steve will be trying to nail at the end I suppose. Having lots of options with weapons and armour I think will give him a range of choices...then a scene to set it off.

Dont forget a nipple ring steve...just to show he had it done LOL.

In all I think time will tell where it goes and Im sure with all of these suggestions...steve has a headache. (In jest mate)

Thanks for the feedback!

A different take on a Minotaur, based on the Concept by Carlos Huante

Still WIP, and it varies from the concept, but eh.

Will be posting more pics when I've done some more work on him.

Cheers!

Looks very Doomlike in its appearance steve! bloody big bugger innit?

EDIT: I must say there is some nice artwork there man!! Interesting concepts...blend of imagination and reality, in particular with the beasts. I can relate to his work immediately...I think along the same lines...though I cant draw stickmen LOL

cheers bullet

damn you really do have this zbrush thing on lock

Theres no way he eats just grass ! ... awesome.

that looks ridiculously menacing...

Very nice indeed - But I miss the armour - I hope you finish that off as well

Dang, forgot I commented here already, bwaaaahahaha!!! Guess I'm getting old... :p


TDW ;)

Thanks for the comments guys! Really appreciate it.

I will be finishing the original as well. This will be a separate piece... more stuff for the portfolio this way.

Working on the face a bit.

this looks really good mate. i would add more detail to the eyes and ears

Thanks, yeah I've added some extra detail to the ears and some too the eyes. I didn't want to add too much extra detail to the eyes as they don't have much to begin with in the concept, but Ive have played a little with them.

Anyway, more work done on the face and some work on the horns too.

Cheers!

Nice work man...that is cool

Keep it up mate.. its looking fantastic...

He`s looking a lot happier now hehe

nice detailing

Thanks for all the great comments!

Here's an update... The forearms are REALLY sloppy as I was lazy and rushed the transpose. So, I'll re-sculpt them later.

Cheers!

looks awesome!!!!!!

they're sloppy...?

Thanks Mastone!

Chirone, Thanks, but yeah. They were originally in a upward and outward position, I wanted to change that for this image. So, I used transpose, which could get the job done fine... but I rushed it. So all the forms are off and the veins are screwed.

Anyway, here's that same render but with some colour corrections, and a cigar lol. I think he would have to loose the loincloth if he was going to pull off the tattoo and the cigar, but hey, it's all for fun!

LOL love it mate...that is cool!

cheers bullet

Not to my taste I like the original...............sorry......dave

Thats one guys mum I don`t want to meet

Thanks for feedback guys!

lol, Neil.

The original minotaur or original render? As for the tat and the cigar, they're there for fun... they're not actually a part of the design.

Thanks for the feedback.

The original minotaur that you started with, it could be I just dont like the head little piggy eyes.......as alway your modelling is great...........dave

Looks like a Minotaur on steroids. Impressive work!

I like both Steve....I think the first one would look cool in the usual Greek tragedy. The second (still pissing myself) cigar/tatt and all reminds me of big bad Red...Hellboy...LOVE it man...I dig it...it would look perfect in Manga man...some big bitch skolling a beer and crushin it...tokes a cigar...and calls some nerdy dude a sweet bitch cos he cant hack fighting ghouls or something LOL...love it

No probs Dave, I'm going to finish the old one too. Just gonna get this one out of the way first. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Perfecto!

Bullet, lol Im thrilled you made that Hellboy reference! I had a member of my family make the same reference. As Hellboy is one of my fav movies.... it make me happy inside. lol

Got the forearms fixed:

Thanks again!

LOL no worries mate...I didnt make the connection...but as soon as the tatt was on and the cigar...I saw Hellboy LOL...and Im with ya!! I LOVE ol Red man...top movie.

cheers bullet

Yeah, Hellboy's brilliant!

Colour corrections...

Ace mate! Really like it, only crit would be the loin cloth being a tad dark, but the sculpt is great!

Cheers Steve! Yeah, I'll lighten it up.

The modeling and sculpt work on this is killer, just looked over the whole thread and think both your takes on this are pretty damn Epic. Not quite sure how you are working in a superstore with skills like this, all I would say is keep producing work to this standard and I am sure you will get picked up soon.

You still got plans on doing some fur/hair tests. Be great to see some animation on one of these.

Keep up the great work,

Leon

damn! that render could have been painted by Boris Valejo!

WTF!!! Haha, that's hilarious, would have never guessed it turns out this way!!! :cool:


TDW ;)

Feels like he should be wearing cowboy boots and mining jeans

This is just extraordinary sculpting, comp, texturing, rendering and lighting work M! Really great work!
