Now... these guys are the cream of the game. :nintendo:

I have been seing those Rabbids for a long time now and i wanted to make a contest about them.
Initialy - i wanted to see what kind of rabbids you guys can make - but i'm affraid of copywright problems.
So... what if this game was not with rabbids... ?

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i222/ChowPics/ray/chowRRR_Sticker_BunniesEggs_June20.jpg
CREATE A NON RABIT CHARACTER - Build the ortho.
Make it simple - see designer toys
http://www.designertoystore.co.uk/

feel free to add expressions and animation instruction.
These babies will be built 3D in the 3D contest starting next week. With a bit of luck.. we'll have them animated!

WATCH OUT THE ORTHO

I have received a lot of negative feedback about the orthos in the first run. Things from one side.. don;t hold in the other side.
I asked the 3D people to post these problems... i hope they will.
You are free to make varriants and accesories - just MERGE IT ALL IN A CHARACTER SHEET.

[dragon4lunch]

Oh man, that game looks like fun!

Good idea for a contest too! I want to participate!

[entdroid]

Oh man, this topic looks made for me! :)
I'm posting a very preliminary sketch here as placeholder, I love doing cute and stupid guys!

[Stephan_R]

I'll try my hardest to make this one, sounds fun :D

love the eyes and mouth entdroid

[marco nelor]

hahahahahaha, i was just jumping in to see what could someone possibly come up with....and Entroid's piece just made me let out a HUGE laugh. thats the craziest thing iv ever seen. try to stare at it for 50 seconds without laughing.....serious, i dare everyone

[Moai]

Sounds fun!

[Blue Severin]

I'm down

[jtburg88]

im confused so its supposed to be rabbit like or what?

[Oblio]

No - any other stupid creature OTHER then the Rabbids! (No offens to the rabidds - AAAAAAAHHHHHHH)

[redehlert]

i think i can do this....rilly sabbit. kix are for trids!

[Moai]

I think I found my inspiration.:rendered:

Edit: Here's a little doodle I did for some brainstorms. From left to right: blind mole rat, naked mole rat, and two star-nosed moles.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/metalukesurfer/dumb-lineup.jpg

Here he is colored. I think I'll name him Nakey.

[Moai]

I put up a colored version of Nakey.

[Moai]

And a WIP.

[fersteger]

Here's my sketch for wip just gotta orthosize this little punk
he's a dopey squirrel with a sombrero

http://www.moonsloth.com/images/pip.jpg

[chadmango]

well it covers the simple part :)

dunno what I was doin really, might as well have closed me eyes really but hey. A WIP that will probably get finished...

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g169/chadmango/cchow-rouh-wip.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g169/chadmango/chowwipcolour.jpg




now with a bit of colour

[dragon4lunch]

fersteger - I like the character - but he is smoking and thus wouldn't exactly be compatible with kids. It wasn't a requirement though. It's just an observation. Stating the obvious, you see? :)

chadmango: Almost too simple. I don't know, but personally I'd try to make him look less like Tweety. Ah, well, but it is difficult to make a bird character, that doesn't hold something. It's fine I guess. But can you beat the squirrel character, for example? Give the bird something extra... A three/quarter view would be good also, to show more of the character.

[Oblio]

quick doodle

10PM still at the office - i managed to take a snapshot at some scribbles in my sketchbook
his name is mungo jerry :)
he can be painted in many ways - i made parrot out of him (on a napkin at lunch, and a spaceman, and so on)
I hope i'll have the time to detail him and to do it properly.
I gotta run now.
This should be the final week of megatrouble... so.. after this i'll be able to participate - hopefully.

I realy want to see some of this guys made 3D - textured, animated and all :)
I hoped we will have more entries... well.. i guess we'll get everyone back when we'l get back to monsters and chicks.
Next week is suggestion thread subject.

Watch out for TwistedTiki... Flamin Drink mon'... watch him wobble into your heart...

[Orifice]

this must be the stranges round yet. Rabies dog with a FEZ and that squirrel from hell! That thing looks like the grandma to a dried fig. I dont know wether to celebrate this or cry.

[Oblio]

yes - this is a bit out of control.
DONT" forcet guys - try to make it liek a Designer Toy - -it shoul dlook interesting just as a shape. It should allow different and custom paints.
YOu should want to have it on your monitor on in your toy collection.
My doodles aren;'t good either but i was just fooling around in open canvas at 10PM still in the office.
The 3D guys aren't fooling around. The challenge is picking up more and more tallent and inertia.
Have a look at the great sculpt by Kris V12 based on cognition.sb concept.
Swing over to the 3D area and see the rest of the WIPS.
Let's not screw up their next round.
Let's give them some amazing concepts... just becoue it's supposed to be silly , it doesn't mean it's not important.
In fact i think it's harder.

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i222/ChowPics/3D1/cognitionsb_KrisV12.jpg


Some feeback:
entroid - one of the best starts. do it 3D (see it form sides) , try to picture it without eyes and see it in pure white plastic... see if the shapes are atractive and still funny. Also ... plan some expresions.

Moai - i think in terms of shape, it looks a bit monotonous rigth now. Make it stand out between the other toys from the desk.

fersteger - not a designer toy, a bit mor elike Disnay character- but i read the crazyness and i like the bastard :) Maybe with some crazy expressions . it can turn into a great entry.

chadmango - if it will be all made of white plastik... how will you paint it? it's also more towards Disney then a Designer Toy... it' cute... no crazy attitude for now. Surely.. it hides a ton of teeth a la chups chups :)

Supervlieg - can;t go wrong with a monkey :) love it - any weapons? more expreeions for the animator? tag line ? :D

mike - try to clean it - do a line only version. Eventualy built it with the bezier line to have it ultra clean. Draw your grid - (see Supervlieg's - and align all the details). COncept is interesting... more spooky then crazy.. but.. it can turn out interesting.

Oblio - it sucks.lazy bastard.

Spazazo - umm.. it looks like a rabbit.

Woodlandwalker - self portrait again ? clean and nice. a bit spooky :)

[Simon Boxer]

Wow, I sure didn't expect to see that sculpture when scrolling down... Time to check out the 3D area...

Will probably be back to participate later.

[dragon4lunch]

I decided to do a cameleon-character. It sure is fun drawing cameleons, people!

I didn't have stupid enough looking chracters, but I think the one I ended with is silly enough to qualify! Hope he is also simple enough. Please let me know what you think!

http://www.trickstertoys.com/additional/cameleons01and02.jpg
http://www.trickstertoys.com/additional/cameleon_constrwrkr.jpg

I'll still add the back view and hopefully color them all. I hope he is not too detailed - I know the rabbit example is very simple, so let me know what you think.

[dragon4lunch]

Hey people, today is the deadline! I hope you all post your character! Come on! Finish them!!!

Woodlandwalker: Reminds me of the Flamin Moe drink from The Simpsons :) (about ten years old that episode, but very good!)

Supervlieg: Pink monkey wip alert Ha, that's funny. I like that "WIP alert", I might have to use that from now on ;)
I hope you polish the character - he could turn out beautifully! DO IT!!!

Alright, there are more promising entries here but I don't want to comment on all of them now. Just finish them already :)<3 :wink: :lens:

Chubs the Dreggun! (mispelled intentionally)

Haha, you didn't have to spell it out, that you misspelled it on purpose :) Pretty obvious. And by explaining it, you misspelled "mispelled". It's spelled with 2 "s"! <grin>

Cool character. Not as cool as mine though ;)

[dragon4lunch]

Supervlieg - the cigarette moves in the side view from being under one tooth to the next. FIX IT NOW!!! :)

The cut off arm blood is gross man, gross.

[Supervlieg]

SIR, sigarette fixed SIR!

[Jska]

i'm gonna give this a try - will give him a full and alternate paint by tonight :)

I've been an occasional lurker on these forums for a number of years but this is my first post. I'm going to try to start doing weekly design challenges with some regularity. I started this yesterday. I hope you like it.

http://subtlesquid.com/imagesforelsewhere/sublte_squid_CHOW47.png

Villaigoot are now known to occupy crawlspaces and attics of suburban homes in lowland areas of northern and eastern Pennsylvania. They are generally nocturnal, so infestations can easily go unnoticed for months or even years; making themselves known only when the colony becomes so overpopulated that the sick and old are cast out to make way for the new. These palsied outcasts will then often be found huddling uncomfortably close to sleeping occupants of the house, or coughing wetly while holding unwrapped food items they wish to share.

His fur certainly isn't so smooth as the average designer vinyl toy, but I think it could be done, and the design does draw on a similar proportion and shape language.

[dragon4lunch]

subtle_squid I'm loving it! Really pretty with a lot of personality! You punk!!! ;)

[subtle_squid]

Thanks dragons4lunch. I'm digging your lizards spindly legs sticking out of his orange vest but they would read better if the boots laced up a little tighter around them. Nice proportions over all. He'd be a cool toy as one of those flexible kind with the armature wire inside.

[Vampire Ninja]

Haha, you didn't have to spell it out, that you misspelled it on purpose :) Pretty obvious. And by explaining it, you misspelled "mispelled". It's spelled with 2 "s"! <grin>

redehlert: I wasn't frowning when I came to your character, but I certainly was smiling when I left! Great fun! Good sense of humor. Good job!

PS: Did you go in to Illustrator and made some vector magic?
