dborruso Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Hi all, I've been thinking of doing a character of a frog bone warrior for a while now. I have done a painting of him to help visualize him. My painting skills are a little rusty as I just started painting again after like 6 years of not painting. Sorry the pic is low quality, i took it with my web cam. Let me know what you think of this character. Comments, criticisms, suggestions welcome. Thanks Quote
pixelmech Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 I like him, I think your painting skills are quite fine Get modeling already! Quote
DarkLimit Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Den this is a great model.. I look forward to learn from ur modeling progress.... be sure to make his shield kick-ass Quote
johnl3d Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 looks like it would be fun to animate fast.mov Quote
williamgaylord Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 He would be great in a "Muppet" Jason and the Argonauts! Kermit as Jason, fighting the frog bone warriors! Great character design! Bill Gaylord Quote
dborruso Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 Thanks Guys. I'm glad you like my character design. I've started modeling him as you can see. The pelvis and skull will be challenging but the rest is pretty simple. I dont know what jason and the argonauts is but my frog bone warrior will gladly fight all challengers. John, how'd you make that little animation of my guy. It's awesome! so cool to see him move already. You beat me to the punch. I'll keep you updated of progress. Thanks for looking. Quote
dborruso Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 I stole the rest of the parts from the old eugene model. The pelvis I made stunk but eugenes is great. I dont mind cheating a little. Now I can focus on making a bad ass skull for him. Quote
williamgaylord Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 The frog bone warrior is really shaping up! You can read a good condensed version of the story of Jason and the Argonauts here: Jason and the Argonauts Your frog bone warrior reminded me of a certain scene of the 1963 movie of the same name. Ray Harryhausen did the animations in the movie. The scene is where the king of Colchis, Aeetes scatters the teeth of the Hydra, which spring up as bone warriors that attack Jason and his crew. Well worth renting the movie! Bill Gaylord Quote
johnl3d Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Animating picture is easy with AM and Photoshop. I grab the picture quickly got rid of the background made a path around the remainder exported path as Illustrator path Imported into model in AM with IA wizard applied picture as decal did a few adjustments and rendered like here http://johnl.inform.net/pages/pretend.htm Quote
dborruso Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 Well my frog bone warrior is just about done. let me know what you think. Thanks for looking. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted June 19, 2005 Admin Posted June 19, 2005 Getting attacked by reanimated skeltons... not good. Getting attacked by highly skilled warriors... painful. Getting attacked by highly skilled reanimated skeleton warriors... priceless. Great modeling. You really have capturing the image in your painting. Animate that guy! Rodney Quote
brainmuffin Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 If you're going for something serious, shrink the pelvis a little and make the head a wee bit bigger. , and scrunch him up a bit. Hunch him over a bit, with bent knees. Don't let him stand up straight. Then, when you animate him, you can make him very bouncy, hopping all over the place. Quote
dborruso Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Here's and update on the frog bone warrior. Quote
bentothemax Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Thats pretty cool! Nice job . . . but for being dead he looks kind of . . . happy Ben Quote
johnl3d Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Nice job but he looks too friendly maybe red eyes or something.... this from a non modeler Quote
