Nov/Dec - Creature - Sci-fi - cavetroll - Noob

hi cg-artists (or wannabe's),

i think i will have enough time to do a very unrealistic square-edged mesh.that means i will need a lot of help and its my first on-my-own project.

to my creature:
i'll try to model a cave troll (i hope the description is correct) who wears a futuristic cyber-suit.that's all.i know i'm not creative but i'm open for sugesstions if allowed.

the cavetroll: https://www.games-workshop.de/lotr/mi...ecavetroll.jpg

I will use this as a basic start.......

Hey, that's interesting mate! Good luck with the competition!
If you need help as you said, I will gladly help you, only if I will know how, since I'm a noob also.

Good start. You will probably want to repost your images at 600 x 400 as they are a bit big at present.

Its 640x480 I do think. There are many programs that will crop it down.

Looks like youhave a good bass mesh to start with.

thx

Thanks for the references....but i'm satisfied with my images.The references you 've sent me are a bit too darky so that you cant see the wrinkles plus they are in a speacial pose with open mout or so ...i dont want this...plus you dont see this troll exactly from the front or the side....

DO i really have to resize my image?
