Drake WIP

Here is a work in progress of another creature I'm working on. This one took me about 3 hours to model. I'm looking forward to texturing it and rigging it, but I'll have to do that another day. Not enough hours in a day...
I'll post the finished product posed and textured. Keep a look out!

Helcha model

Here is the second proposed character for the mobile game my friend and I are creating. I call him Helcha for now. He took me about 8 hours or so to model, rig and texture. I really liked modeling him. I also want to improve his rig to make it even easier to use.
I really enjoy doing a model a day, just wish I had more days to do it.  The programing has gone underway too so hopefully I'll see these guys moving around soon.
The next challenge will be making his face change through texture. Never done that before, but I'm looking forward to tackling that issue.

Quick Model

Hey every one!

Today I decided I'd spend the day creating this little guy. To help a few friends and myself we decided to make our own game. Something simple and easy to do so we can all learn to work in a pipe line and how to use various game building programs. this little guy, who is currently nameless, will be one of the avatars. I mainly just wanted to have some fun rigging with this character and learn some of the ways blender rigs.
It took me about two hours to model this guy with all the distractions I had. Then another couple hours to create the rig and a couple of minutes to texture it. I want to tweak the rig a bit to make it more user friendly and really define its limitations so no one can break it if animating. I also want to touch up the texture and make it pop more. I just wanted something simple for now to slap on there.
This model was created with Blender and Photoshop.

Stegosaurus



Here is a dino I created today. I felt like making something that could be seen on the History channel. I love watching the dinosaur shows, but usually don't like their animations or how they look in general. I wanted to make something that could give them a run for their money. Of course, this still needs work. I don't like how the plates and spikes don't look connected to the skin, so I'll tweak that. I also plan to bring this model in to Zbrush and sculpt skin, grooves, chips, cuts, scars, ect. ect. to make it look more life like.
I'm of course open to suggestions/comments/critiques, so please don't be shy.

Zombie dies

This is the death sequence of the zombie from before. I currently changed the arm that is flailing around to be a bit more realistic. I haven't rendered the update yet thought, so keep an eye out for it. I also have made changes to the walk cycle to give it more weight and cycle cleaner.

Soon I'll upload the protagonist who's rig I just finished. I'll complete her walk cycle first.

This is an animation of a zombie character I created. The character will be used for a mobile device game. I tried to give the zombie a relaxed walk that conserves energy. I'm thinking about bringing in the arm swing so its not so wide, especially on the arm that is half missing. This is still a work in progress and will be refined as the week goes by.
