doylle: Thanks man. That tank thingy on the back will probably be there, but I didnt think of that when I UV mapped, so Ill add it in another map probably. I reworked the colors a bit and made his armor a little more brutal and toned down the highlights a little more.

glynnsmith: Thanks! Well yeah, the most of the concept is in my head and also it changes when modeling to something more appealing

Well, heres an update. He will have a skirt instead of a coat and Im gonna add some more personality to the face.

Okay, so Im done with the upper body (Im gonna add some more details later on) but I really cant come up with anything good for the skirt. I like the idea of a skirt but I have no idea what Im gonna do with it. The color on it is just a neutral color for now. Dont know what color it should be either.

And I dont know how to fix the stupid problem in maya when applying an alpha map. Everythings just seems translucent in a way. Just looks weird.

Im gonna start with the scene now.

You could make that skirt bit out of leather.

The reason I say this is because it's very similar to the creature "Nemisis" from the Resident Evil games and movies.

Here is a reference image that I think you would find useful

Natace: Thanks man. Im gonna try it, that will probably fit just fine.

Made some interior design and came up with a pretty neat story for my guy

Natace · 23-11-2008, 11:30 PM

That's a pretty cool lair, I was just thinking that with those pipe things that connect to the head of his seat/throne thing, you could put little ports on the back part of his armor up by his head, like while he's on the throne, he gets powered up or something.

psychord · 23-11-2008, 11:44 PM

Natace: Thanks! Thats exactly what I was gonna do

also he will have a tank with him at all times cause he cant live without this, whatever it is.

Natace · 24-11-2008, 12:46 AM

Cool, that'd work, because the tank on his back would become a weak point then.

Say you'd have to hit the tank several times on his back by running around him (because he's big and slow) in a similar fashion to in Mario 64 where you have to run around that bomb king thingo, then he would do a roar before stomping on the ground which would send you flying and get hurt if you weren't close enough.
In that time he would run to his throne, charge himself up in 10 seconds or so, and you would have to press a switch on the tank behind him or something which would give him the wrong mix of chemicals or whatever it is he powers up on, and that would cause him to die.

To make this difficult, he would start off fast, but each time he does his roar he would slow down, so say it'd take about 3 of those roars before you have enough time to run to the tank and flick the switch or press the big red button or something :P

I dunno, it's just a thought.

In any case, I think what you have right there, is a damn good boss, I think your entry will go well

psychord · 24-11-2008, 02:05 AM

Natace: Whoa! Thanks alot man! Really nice tactic thingy there, kinda similar to what I was thinking. This fluid in the tank is his fuel and without it he wont work/live. And thats why he have to dock in his chamber every once in while to fill up his tank and just sit there and be awesome ^^ I was thinking that this guy is some kind of a emperor or something.

So I made some accessories to the guy. Dont worry, hes gonna get his big ass hammer to

Natace · 24-11-2008, 03:02 AM

Wow! Good to see you put that leathery black texture there for his skirt thing, it looks great!

However now you've put that tank on his back, i'm a little unsure, it looks kinda all over the place for the time being...who knows it might look better with a texture.

What might look good is a kindof backpack style object that looks kindof like a super charger with 5 pipes for each of the tubes going to the throne.
You could put a tank underneath that that has the liquid in it.

I'm trying not to use up any more download space right now since i'm almost on capped speeds, but I will have my download quota back to scratch tonight in about 5 hours and I will grab some reference images that I could piece together to show what I mean.

Of course, the fuel pack thing that you have right now COULD be better if you added more to it, but right now, that big tube on the back in the shape of a V is not doing it for me looking at it from behind i'm afraid.
The front looks ok, but the back looks a bit bland, especially if the character were to attack the device attached to the boss, it would have to stand out, and this one doesn't.

But anyway, enough rambling, take a look at things like car motors and any sortof pump device (aside from a certain type of pump, *cough cough*) and I reckon your imagination will lead the way.
