C.O.W. #143 Arctic Juggernaut of Death -- posting WIPs thread!

[Evil_comrad]

a new update on my creature, im going for a brown pelt , instead of white ^^

[Michael Jaecks]

Gawd, I cant' make up my mind .... should I go with a large snow creature or a giant wave of mountain, snow and ice!? Juggernaut is defined as a massive relentless force or object that crushes everything in its path. I've been working on a kinda creature but I'm just not sure it fits into the realm of juggernaut. Maybe I will just sleep on it hahaha

Whatever the dictionary definition of 'juggernaut,' may be... this is still CREATURE of the week. I reserve the right to speak somewhat figuratively when chosing COW topics.

No mountains, please.

[Evil_comrad]

another update.

still need to do the background

[Wixxi]

Here is my wip on the subject.
Only started detailing the head yet, tommorow is the next step.

[MEMPER]

Heres mine. Hope I finish in time.....

[Razorleaf]

MJ ... "mountain" was a loose reference to size not an actual land mass haha

[acb]

[Reymus]

update

[AtlasIves]

rigthy then time for an initial crit spamm thing, while the ideas are fresh, im a noob so i may be WAaaaaaY off on these

sketchius-
my only thoughts is thaat with only two leggs on the ground your creature would be very unbalanced, but love the idea of an ice giant

Razorleaf-
looks a little cuddely at the moment, make him mean and feice "GRRRR", and something to show the scale would be nice, great work

Reymus-
im going to see that thing in my nightmares!!!

acb-
That thing is HUGE! would be cool to see where the tenticals join the body

toasted-
what can i say? that thing is BAD ASS

Crowsrock-
scary stuff! love the trees on its back - id really push that idea. like a forest camoflage

Ah Chu-
Damn that is cool great sence of scale, and action

memper-
awesome facial render, very creepy, looks a little like one of the ice creatures from the new star treck film

Wixxi-
lol love the face, my only thought is that the creature looks off balance, maybe some bigger arms to help it support its weight

evil comrad-
looks pretty cool, not really getting the jugganought of death "feeling" seeems a little to cute


me-
ok so heres an update beleive it or not ive been using photoshop for painting for 3 years and ive only just found how to use a texture overlay, so any comments on how my texture looks would be much appreciated

[Razorleaf]

Ya, skunk257 .... I was watching the damn Animal Planet with my kids and before I knew it I ended up with this puppy/kitten effect for fur hahahaha. Not what I was going for but thought I'd post it anyway. Still, I'm not really into all the blood, guts and killing senerios hahaha but I do what I can

Yours, however, most definately falls under the juggernaut category .... nicely done!

[skullbeast]

this feels better ... C&C are welcomed. Does anyone think that I should I move the eyes?

[HugeHarHar]

I'm hoping I can get this finished in time. I'm going for a massive shark/whale/ocean creature. I plan on having some teensy winsy blue whales running away or something.

[gavinmacdesign]

Dang! too slow on the iceburg shark creature ! and yours is looking fantastic HugeHarHar!
off to bed!

[AtlasIves]

hahah spent ages doing mine into the late hours last night, just seen it this morning and ive realised that ive painted some men having a crazy party under my beast.hehehe

[Buchmaler]

Had not much time (last five minutes ) and i hope i will be able to get this ready before deadline.
I took my basis and tried to think a little bit about anatomy (i must confess, that i am not very good in anatomy.. i try to learn it ... think one need those basics).

Update: Sketch of creatures is ready...

Update 2: Very first stage of rendering...

[acb]

ROOOFLLL skunk
i was thinking at first wow those ppl looks nice there and then i looked at what you said about the party and yure right LOOOOL its looking kinda wild there 0^_^0 lots of pyrotechniques and congrats on finding the texture overlay and those textures looks cool ^_^

skullbeast- i think that the eyes there will look cool although it doesnt look practical to put those ther unless yull change abit the mouth or the area near the eys cuz think of when it uses its mouth then hes eyes can get hurt easily ^_^

MEMPER- cool head @_@ looking forward for updates

[toasted]

update

[AtlasIves]

update think im nearly finished my only real issue with it now is the composition of the image, crit always welcome + should have a HD video uploaded soon "timelapse style"

[Tommoy]

Memper, I like the movement and the claws.
Skunk257, that thing looks huge, love the explosions but I can't see a killing monster in it.
Wixxi, although eating an polar bear he looks quite cuddly.

Tried to make mine less looking like a polar bear and a little meaner and bigger too.

[Teundeboer]

Tommoy I think you should make those lightblue lines so that they follow the shape of the body. Right now they don't help establish the shape.

My attempt, open to suggestions!

[Crowsrock]

Update

Thank you for the comment, skunk257. As you can see I gave up on the trees growing on the back of the juggernaut, because I imagine that beast as a relatively fast one, having a huge energy demand. So forest-growing will be difficult when it has to chase mammoths all day long.
Cool action in your piece.

Tommoy: I more liked the version without stripes.

[Lander]

Did I say that I really dig what all of you are doing?
Here is what I've got so far. Will probably get a pair of ears to match the tail

[Wixxi]

Hi again, tx for the helpfull comments guys! ;D

Gonna do some commenting as well tommorow, aall i can say right now is awesome entries all!
I like Tommoy's on alot! great job man!

here is an update:

[Evil_comrad]

i detailed the beast some more + i made the background.

[Wixxi]

I think i'm finished with this, had lots of fun. See you guys in the final thread

[Tonic]

Sounded a relaxing topic, so I'm taking a part At this moment, I've painted only a background:



Now I see the vertical composition is bad. I'm going to cut bottom part, or add a empty bar at the bottom. Probably the second option. And the monster is a bit cropped, so I will enlarge canvas at right and paint more of creature body. And I would like to make feeling the monster is cramped inside canvas to emphasize its' big size.

[blobs]

Hey all, there is some good stuff going on in here, love it!
Very quick from me, I'm not sure I'll get to finish, but just practicing with a new technique.
This is an awful/boring design but it's fun to paint

Cheers.
Scott.

[Lander]

Well it sure looks like it could kick some.

[geronimo66]

So here is my idea, an arctic grub... with the whole dune, mouth, and sarlak tentacles thing goin on.

Now to make it look good... uuuggg.

[acb]

tonic-awsome start @_@ w8ing to see the rest ^_^

blobs-actually i dont think your design is boring at all ^_^ its quite cool and i hope yull be able to finish on time ^_^
