- Patic Rider - : Super Villain Challenge

I'm in.

I will go for a character model based on my game project i'm currently working on. So the story goes....:

This is a rider from the forest land where lots of unknown creatures inhabit it. The riding thing will be in wolf style with that kind of topology and the rider will be from the same race. I will make the model low poly to fit the torque game engine. I'm currently working on the concept.


This is the basic ... i will think about abilities, magics etc... stay fresh !!!

Looking like an interesting idea Coldwave.

Kinda reminds me of the things in Lord of the rings the orc's rode when they knocked Aragorn off the cliff.

The rider model ... a lot more tweaking till final shape of the rider and the beast ... but this is a bit of finished ... 2-3 days tweaking and i'm going into Zbrush to do normal maps.... and the texture will be pain full due to my nonexperience Ass... @ texturing...

So here are some pics of the progress :

Critics and comments welcome !!!
