Update

Another concept

A quick sketch to visualize the overall shape. I try to create something compact mix with power…I still not sure how this thing will run. The back leg is kinda shape like the leg of a frog…so I think it will be able to jump really high. The things on his back are like exhaust that will realease gaz during effort (i just made that up) LOL. I know, its really change since the first concept…coz I think the 1st concepts were too cartoony. I want something mean and more realistic, I try to creature a an alien creature that when you look at it can say “yeah, that might exist on some unknown planet”. What u guys think ?

Front leg new design

I am still refining the leg….I was suppose to do the back leg, but i had a new idea for the front one. Dont hesitate to post your comment and crits…coz I need to know if you think something doesn’t look right. :P And don’t pay attention to how it is color…but more to the design and color.

Loyo ?

Ok its seems we have a lot of comments on the 2 pictures I post earlier. U see francois, u r so famous now :P ! But I would like to show you a pic of Loyo (he post a comment on the samurai picture). To thx him of his fidelity to the blog…I reward him with a spot in it. The picture is blurry I know…but you are stil able to see what Loyo is doing :P

Front arm

2h of work for that arm :( I am so slow…But its getting somewhere. I reshaped the foot, so it would look like an elephant’s foot. I also added the color and some shadows. So u guys like it? Or are there things that look wrong.

Samourai

LOL! If I show you guys (maybe girlz later) pictures of you on the blog, its coz I love you guys (no I am not gay)…I dont want to hurt :P To prove you that I am a real friend, I want to be fair with you by posting of picture of me. That’s my samourai style !!! WAAZZAA !!!

PS: Most of the picture, I will show are old pictures. Since I haven’t since my friend for a while. Those are the only one I have. And this one was taken maybe 4 years ago…and I has just finish to dry my hair.

Francois Eurkel ! :P

Last time, I thought about a new section…one dedicated to my friends. Each week..no each month I’ll try to present you one of my friend. I already show you Peter (the guy who made this blog for me ! thx again Peter) and Ryan my dumb cousin. Today the star will be Francois ! :P The picture below is a side he normaly never show in public (The “Eurkel” Style). But its just too good to miss…eheh this is for u Francois. Peace n Luv :P

I wish

Ok I take a break, I have been workin on his front arm for about 1h now. Still not very happy with it…:( I wish I took real drawing classes, coz the one we used to have in high school are just useless…I can’t even remember what I learnt. They just give you a subject and then you draw. It would have been better, if they actuallly tought you something useful, like drawing shadows. Now that into the design and concept stage of my project. I know how hard it is draw something that look good. I think my main problem is my sense of proportion ans masses. Coz when you try to be original and create something you. You still need it to be natural…You can’t just put foot where there should be ears. You have to respect somehow the natural anatomy of human and animal. Coz human eye, notice quickly if something is wrong. Damn If only I knew ealier what I want to do in life…well I am still not really decide, but I know that I want to work in 3D, maybe as a modeller or an animator. It will be awesome if one day you could see my name on the credits of a Blockbuster movie (even if I know people usually dont stay for that). If I could go back in time…after my high school diploma, I would enter a design school (1years), during that time I would teach myself 3D, write an amanzing script for a movie. Then I would fly to america and try to get into The Gnomon school or VFS. :( This would have avoid me spending $$$, for a 6 month of bursary school (equivalent to high school diploma in france) 6 month of Electrotechnology (I though it would be interesting…like making robots and stuff but I was all theory, reading paper ? No thx U) and 2 useless year at the 3D school I went. In fact the only thing this school gave me…is to meet new friends who r also into 3D. ahahah I just remember my first Life drawing session…I just stay in front of something and draw it. And for the 1st session we had to draw a nude woman !!!! Before the class I was like “oh oh nude nude !! lol” But you know…when you start drawing and you get into it, you don’t see a naked woman, but a model. I mean you don’t think any perverted things but you concentrate on how to draw the curve, the shadow and to get the right expression. Kkk, I admit that sometimes I watched “it” (it look angry) but it was in the name of art. :P All that to tell you that if you want to draw good humanoid or creature :P Learn your Anatomy, and not by “touching yourslef” (well in fact, it might help too :) But by looking at pictures, people and try to draw everyday :P

Another Version

I’ve try to put some details, and I end up changing the overall shape. Do u think its bette or worst ?
