Competition #14 - Skiatch

skiatch · 01-07-2008, 04:05 AM

I am new in this forum and I just signed yesterday because of this competition. I like the idea and it´s full of fantastic abilities to create one little guy. It will be my very first finished 3D character. Usually I am working as a 2D artist, but I am learning Blender for some month now and want to take the oportunity and deadline to challenge myself with the the goal I am leaning blender for. Good Luck everybody!! I´m looking really forward for the entries

!

Bye the way: I have no idea what I´ll make jet, but I´ll let you know

cheers

I think I´ll work on this little guy. It´s called Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa. Dont know his class as character right now, but I like his shapes.

wow that's just awesome the question is can it fly (not sure if the things on his back are wings or what..) his front claws look to be a deadly weapon or can be in this comp at least

Good ref!

unique insect.. This one is bound to be interesting

Thanks for your comments

@ Jinx: I´m not sure if it´s able to fly. Seems like it was millions of years ago, but the wings seem to be kind of degenerated nowadays.

I like the claws too.In german this insect is called "Maulwurfsgrille" what is directly translated as molecricket. If you google "Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa" you find some closeup images of the claws.
I´ll create a offense class that´s for sure

I´ll post the charactersketches next

So, here are my first two sketches of the concept. I am not sure about it, so I´ll further work on them. I want the chricket to be something like a bladerunner, crashing/ rushing enemy lines.

looks very cool. Really like how you gave it some armor, and how you gave it a little more color variation then the original bug

skiatch · 03-07-2008, 05:51 AM

I´ve modeled the basemesh of the cricket to evaluate the numbers of polys I´ll have for my armor and wapons.

One half has about 204 faces, so 408 total. In tris it´s 816 then. Seems like I´ll have to tweak it a little bit

Good luck everybody.

Keep that up, I really like your concept and the color, Hope you 'll reach a nice result in 3D
