Hey guys, I just wanted to go ahead and get my page here going and introduce myself since i've never been active in this forums community. I've been ghosting around the forums since... 08 or so... Figured this challenge interested me enough that i would try and see how i fair.

I'll be posting my progress screen shots here as i get work done. So far i plan on starting with a male anatomy study i did a month ago as a good topology and scaling reference. I'll be making a demon. I think i'll be adding my own spin mixing it with an imp from doom as well to see how it goes. If i get really into it and have time i might aim to do a cyber demon. That might be out of the time limit i have by joining in this late.

Anyways. Looks like the people posting work on this so far have some good looking ideas and im looking forward to seeing whats happening.

I'll post my first screen shots up tonight.

Take it easy guys,
Fear.

Update #1

Alright guys, as promised. Here are the starting points.

First up is the base mesh i made for an anatomy study i did a month ago, that im using as a topology start and scale reference.

next is the first hour or so of messing with the deformation of the body to demonize him. Im liking the direction so far and just need to really decide what im going to keep or change. Then i'll head into a much better detail level, retopo, bake, etc.

welcome to the community. I am also concerned about time, trying to learn modo at the same time since we decided to test modo for rendering at work. So, hope we all find time to finish the entries. Good luck.

Update #2

Here is the next update for my demon. Figured i'd provide more angles since im getting a little farther along in the shaping. Starting to play with ideas for details not really sold on anything detail oriented yet.

im hoping due to the long weekend i might be able to get the mouth adjusted more and add teeth tomorrow. I am liking the over all shape of him now though.

Thanks,
Fear.

It might just be me but the legs seem out of proportion to the torso?

What's the fun in making a demon if I leave the proportions the same as a human. By that scale the head is small aswell as the torso. Although they might be harder to notice once he is posed leaning forward. Good eye though
