Big updates to little minion
A quick turntable of the minion's progress. Added alot more defining features, with some tops and tricks from gel-oh. Thinking I gotta define his shoes a bit better, then go into the real details

Some Edits for our Zbrush minion
So this time around, got a little more done. Decided to go for some clothing/armor. And his had is majorly starting to differentiate. I'm kinda liking this idea of his head being a skull. Or at least he always wears a skull, and his real head is underneath. Not sure, just kinda going with wherever the music takes me. As my music plays on shuffle, I start getting into other moods, and I let my zbrush do my talking. lol

Creature Mod
Taking from a 3D Sil provided by our professor, the class is all customizing it to become a completely unique little minion creature. So here the slight outline adjustments I've made so far.
More adjustments on Wednesday

Learning Zspheres.....
So the concept seems simple enough, but I think I'm missing some fundamental tricks to really shape things CORRECTLY. By correctly I mean, easiest to sculpt from.....

Little detail added to the Bot of the week....
So I don't know texture applying all to well yet, so I just added some simple material colors to match the ref a little better. Added a bit of piping, some details to the legs and frame...

Maya Modeling Practice, Robo Project WIP 1
So I havent modeled in Maya in like a year, but I think I still got the basics down. Here's just about 2 hrs in, and it's already almost done. Lots of little details to touch on I guess, but I'm not sure we're getting into Texturing this week so all in all I'm liking it.

Prey - Amphibian Possibilities
Multiple ideas going on here.... Manta Ray, Clam Shelled, Turtle Types.... Crawfish types... Basically playing with the idea of large, shelled/shielded creatures in which our Trex/Raptor hybrid could hunt along a water bank, have to use his massive jaws and/or claws (feet mainly) to pry open and eat...

Hybrid Sils - Head Shape
Just some headshot options for this new creature we're designing. Top row is heavy Raptor influence. Middle row is median in influence, maintaining a more natural shape similar to other dinosaurs. Bottom row is more Tyranosaur, with the larger jaws.

Gecko Raptor
Just a bunch of random variations for the original idea; a Raptor with major Gecko/Frog features. Different tail patterns, tongue patterns, some with claws, spine changes, etc....
Triceratops Unicorn? Iono, runing out of ideas, lol
So main figure is obviously just a Tri-Horn, but with ONE horn.... Then I tried a Rhino style. Then a blunt style, where there are no sharp horns, just rounded studs. The 3 line patterns are spine details. I more organic vertabrae, a sharp one, and a jutted one. Thats it for this folks, super simple.

Day 3 - THE TYRANNOSAURUS SCORPIUS
IDEA of the day. T-Scorpius! A play on the T-Rex (obviously), with hints of an exoskeleton, a snake-style Tongue.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY; a Scorpion's tail. Other than that, very obviously a T-Rex. But for the sake of variety, I came up with some ideas. Since this is pre-historic animals we're talking about, why not jumble the genus up a bit?
So I thought to add some feathers. That's why I came up with some feather designs. Then my tail designs were of a feather tail surrounding the base of the scorpion tail. Then on the tail itself, having studs on each section of the tail. Teeth variants are self explanatory. The head variants are majorly similar. One with horns and longer teeth. Another with an armored nose, and a more natural tongue.
