I will post my start later. I just want to say:

GOOD LUCK TO ALL COMPETATORS

and I heard that you (twisteddragon) are a n00b ,too.
Thats fine because I am also one.
Solet this be a fair round. :P

*kicks you in the knees*

of course it will be fair.

i didnt even know this started. how do i find out... just figured it out.. lol.

the only part i seem to think i will have trouble wih is the whole sea creature part. adios amigo.

Ill get started tomorrow. gotta do this and that today.

ok ok ... I will post the concept in some hours. but I promise I will finish this creature.

lol..here is the concept. hehe. I know its crappy and undetailed but its just the concept. :D

basic shape without tail

my concepts in my head.... so um... god luck with that.

thanks and good luck to you :P

added a lil tail

dont forget that Ima n00b.

I gave him a lil hand

Eagle- looking good buddy! Love that render too... GI joe eh?

H!

well.. still having absolutely no clue on what to make.how to make it. or what my name is... for some reason i decided to do this entirely(or almost entirely) in spines. Why? who he hell knows.

my first wip. its pretty craptacular so far.. i made the fish in all splines. the eye i just made a sphere to see where it goes. and the tusks i cimpletely screwed up on. so i will be ramaking. possibly a little smaller.

So far what do you think?

LOL, hahaha, the teeth are huge! I love that idea :D. Anyways, its coming along great, but you need to put some more time into that eye area..i know its hard but try to keep the ball inside the mesh.. and then try to build around it with a hole in your mesh.. to make it fit. Looking great though :D.. can i see a sideshot? Just because that tail looks a bit tall.. its waist or something could be skinnier.. anyways.. i cant really see with that view.. but keep it up :).

yeah. im working on new teeth, and the eye now, you can see i started the eye more.

the tail looks weird now but thats because 1) i messed uo on the splnes because it took about 20 different splines to make it. 2) the splined differently than i thought they would. I still have time to fix it.

I still have to add the top fin and the sides. Fill it out more.

well heres the side. *almost forgot ot add it.

hey that´s a really good start. won´t be easy for me =/

kind of feet:

little overview:

i just got my new fangs done, filled out the tail a little and i cant decide to completely remake the eye or not. will be very difficult. as a guy once said mesh is 1 letter away from mess:).. whos sig was that anyway...

Hey eagleking.. didnt realise you started modelling yet :P.. i kinda thought yours was the same as twisteds.. as there the same color. Just to say though, its coming along great, nice and smooth :D.. the feet can use some work, maybe make them a bit thicker.. but i like how this is going... :). As for twisted, yea.. i think you should fix the side viewport shape so that it goes in more of a smooth curve, :). Both coming along great..

BTW, eagleking.. did you take that microscope picture yourself.. or is it not a microscope picture and... ooh, is that a field of grass? In any case, really nice (im talking about your sig) :)..

everything on my sig is made myself with photoshop. I didnt take any existing microscop pics.

Everything was messing up. so i kept kicking it till stuff hanged. this is what i got? any ideas?

last view was a litlre weird. so heres another. i think ill make the tail fin higher, and stretched farther form the body if that sounds okay?

That's getting to be an interesting shape- have you thought of looking at some pics of manta rays or regular rays? Might look quite jolly with the 'wings' extended and one of those 'ray' tails coupled with that deadly head.

i already extended the wings. and i made the tail shaprer. almost like a sharks. i dont know what mantas look like... this was all shoot from the hip modeling.

hehe. much better.

I added the eye and I tried to give him a happy look.
I think he looks happy.

another overview :

both of the look great....
twisted - i love the fangs :)
eagleking - thats very creative....i love the shape of the front legs....maybe toy can five it a more of an underwater look....;)

first I have to finish the model and textureng..then I will bring up a underwater scene

heeeeeelp...I cant see anymore...my EYEEESS...EVERRYTHING BLACK...

ok. here is your pupil :P

looking good!! :)

thanks.
I took this nice green as colour and now I will add a bump map.

i have no clue how to texture... so this is all like... guessing. i dont even know how to make en eye pupil and stuff:(... i tell you lightwave can get confusing.

final render:)


J/K :(

LOL

I want to see the wireframe of the dolphine:)

/me got a shock

for one second I thought it is yours

Hey don't submit something you just knocked out in 3 minutes :D

Has a good free tutorial on making a basic eye.

Nice lizardy thing Eagleking.

well it was mine.. but i made it in poser:). i did the pose....

kinda my final render ig uess... dont knwo what else to do. so ill give background info for it:).

This is a SandStalker. Dark colored to blend with the deep waters. Its eyes a bright luminescent blue glow and its semi reflective fangs push the glow out, seeming like living creatured sticking out of the sand. It can gain emense speed from its spralled wings on its side stealithy flowing along the surface.

Its tusks are used mostly in attacking from below. by loosening the protective fold over its eyes it can hide its eyes glow. causing it to near vanish against the dark bottom. when a meal comes along it rushes up with its speed and gouges it from underneeth, slicing long gashes in the bottom... and filling its lungs it sucks the fish into its gullet whole.

Its stealthy body has its flaws, with its bright eyes it must stay near moss, algea, or other plantlife to conceal its color.

Next will folow the images.

final renders... ish

hered a few images thrown together.

more dont you know.
