@Origina1Penguin I've got it all UV'd and the last thing I did was bake the base textures. My girlfriend of 3 years is going away for 7 weeks today, so a) I've been less able to work on this/anything. and b) my productivity will shoot up.

@pwnmachine wow, didn't know there was one, post when you find it

LOL I love it! I really want to find the one of Jeff, but I cannot seem to find it :(

Any more work on this?

Test (TED talk) Pose and Test Bake with a low res normal map (512*512) and a rig that is ... well... arse. here's hoping @Sweep can do something with the rigging :D (no pressure). Next I'll have to model the peripherals(shoe/glove/mask laces) Belt/Cape/Giantbomb Logo/ hair planes for his "mane". then I can start Texturing proper (this was done with a quick unwrella unwrap).

Update, bit of work done on the gloves, and more wrinkles on the trousers, still need to work on the creases and overall design of the clothes, will try and add as many references as I can into it.

On the last real leg of sculpting, then I'll retopologise it into a game model and texture this mother.

This is amazing. Luchadeer is usually on a male body whenever the community gives him one. I can't wait to see him textured.

Huge improvement right here. Loving it

High Five!... Started work on the hands, and managed to COMPLETELY mangle them up before getting to this stage. bed now though; more to come late tomorrow.

@RedHatDrew@LordXavierBritish Well like I said, once this is done I'm going to let people download and do what they want with it, so we never know

@bonorbitz Noted, will do a selection nearer the time :)

@MooseyMcMan Cheers, there's still a tonne of work to do though, thanks for the comment

@Origina1Penguin Yeah, Totally. At the moment I'm still kinda just roughing out shapes, and that was going to be just fur going down to the body, but now if I'm making it in low poly I may try and create a fur shader (like shadow of the collosus/kinectimals) to cover that area instead, which means taking that bullky fur back a bit... which will be interesting. Keep the crits coming!

Looking good. The more I look at it though, the more the neck looks a bit too bulky with a rough transition.

I'm surprised this isn't featured in the Bomb Shelter yet.

Slight Progress on the shoes and fabric of his trousers, need to do a lot more and get some practice down, after that's done I'll concentrate on the arms and hands, then try to get it out of zbrush and into maya and put some shiny shaders and stuff, also try and get a good hair/fur shader written

Looks nice.

He needs a cheeseburger on that championship belt.

I want this in Saints Row: The Third now.

I hope there's a way to import something like this into the PC version of Street Fighter X Tekken. Would make an awesome alternate costume for King.

@WilltheMagicAsian: Oddly enough those are fine. I remember when Will was walking around with them. Just something about them on that model looks off in a freaky kind of way.

@crusader8463 The basemesh I was using had toes, I've now gone in and de-toed it. if anyone is interested the basemesh I'm using is Arshlevon's Base with toes (Should have used the other one without but hey)http://wiki.polycount.com/BaseMesh

@zyn Yeah, no such luck I'm afraid :)

@WilltheMagicAsian Even since seeing Will Smith wearing them I've wanted a pair!.

@crusader8463: Ha, I guess you wouldn't like those running shoes that have toes on them.

I thought it would just be a giant flying Luchadeer head.

Modeling the toes even though he is supposed to be wearing wrestling boots really freak me out for some reason.

Yes on the hooves and deer legs, but keep the torso human, so that he looks even more like a monster. Doing great so far - here's hoping for a cameo in the next wrestling game.

@WilltheMagicAsian said:

He needs a bigger bulge.

Came here to say this.

@Marz said:

lol that's awesome, someone import it into Skyrim asap.

Make a mod that replaces Lydia with him!

@Ravenlight give me time to finish the model and rig it, I'll put it on my list as the first thing to animate

@WilltheMagicAsian I'll grab the "inflate" brush

@MostlyBearded He currently has one, which I was going to put over his shoulder. I was going to texture it with an embossed whiskey media logo, although I'm not sure

He needs a championship belt of some kind.

He needs a bigger bulge.

Hot damn! Luchadeer is looking awesome!

Now animate him doing a Shoryuken ;)

@Origina1Penguin Cool critique here, I agree with the faun thing (I really should have turned safesearch off when googling minotaur :| ) The hands haven't been worked on at all, and the feet have changed quite a bit since I got rid of the toes. I'll post up probably later tomorrow, I should really be going to bed. The legs ARE undersized as I made the whole torso bigger cos the head was oversized... if that makes any sense

@Marz That's more like it!, I'm still not going to do that, I'm pretty certain I'm going to keep it human with wrestling shoes.

What I DO need though, is any designs for his cape, colour suggestions for his trousers or constume design in general, should he be wearing more of a singlet?,

@Slaker117 I Think going into that I wasn't feeling it, so the end result COULD have been a lot better. I DO like these types of legs, and I recently had some of those jumping stilts so I know how they feel and should look,.. but It's just not for this character :) more suggestions would be cool though for general stuff. Cheers

give it cyberdemon feet :P 

Pretty much amazing. Couple of constructive criticism remarks though: 1) The knuckles look too prominent. 2) It looks better with the man legs/feet (the faun/satyr look doesn't do it for me), but the form looks a little iffy on the side of the feet with the little toe, and the legs look slightly undersized.

@Slaker117@Goboard Yeah, They are called Digitigrade because the weight is on the digits (or hoof in this case), will attempt to stick them in now before I carry on with any more high details. if they look too generic God of War I may reverse it though

*Here Goes*

I'm not thoroughly conviced YET, I think it looks like just another Minotaur-a-like...

More work done on Ears (as they were too small) and started some rudimentary colouring.

going to try fix legs now

@Slaker117: Thats what I was thinking to, you'd have to give him reverse bipedal legs to match otherwise hooves just look weird.

Damn, that's good. I wish I could do stuff like this.

@MEATBALL The one thing I thought people here, what with all the games being played, wouldn't think about this thing is that it's terrifying, unless you're like scared of deer. and apart from RAPING YOU IN YOUR SLEEP tonight, it doesn't pose any threat.

This is absolutely terrifying! (but still pretty impressive)

@jelekeloy I'll attempt to do two versions, it's only a case of changing the low poly and doing some map tweaking, but that's all pretty simple. What about the legs?, if he has hooves maybe they should be digitigrade (if that's the word I'm looking for)

I vote for human hands, deer feet.

@TrippinBungalowYes totally!, and to make it even better, we should just use snippets of footage found in the videos for all the animations!

@Mr_SkeletonIt's actually, proportionally speaking, not too big, but then again once you realise it's a freaking half deer half human monstrosity, you can kinda overlook realistic proportion

Dat bulge... It's like watching David Bowie in Labyrinth all over again.

@Robster said:

Yeah... I know, I was bored.

The game?? I dunno, however I do kinda want to make a super smash brothers clone with the crew of the whiskey media sites

Aw shit, do it! Dong Dong Never Die: Whiskey Media Edition.

@jelekeloy I'll attempt to do two versions, it's only a case of changing the low poly and doing some map tweaking, but that's all pretty simple. What about the legs?, if he has hooves maybe they should be digitigrade (if that's the word I'm looking for)

PLEASE give it hoofs (hooves?) instead of feet, that would be delightful. Also, probably easier to animate.

@Goboard That's fantastic, Yeah the feet are odd at the moment because I'm using a base-mesh that has toes, I'll sort that out now I know I should go with feet.

@Slaker117@MikeGosot Yeah, I may try an even more fucked up version for laughs, but I think I'm going to just get this looking as detailed as possible and get it baked down to low poly

Also, is there anyone who can rig well??, I'll probably try myself but usually it ends up badly...

@Robster: Human hands, deer feet. Lets make this thing as fucked up as possible.

Looking great!

As for crits, since he is already very humanoid I would stick with that and change his feet to boots because having toed feet and the suggestion of boots looks a little weird as it is. I'd also say give him some wrinkles on the areas where he is wearing clothing such as his legs, gloves and boots because right now it doesn't seem like he's wearing any even though you've put in some of those details. Once your done with the major forms I'd say add some suggestions of fur and some grain and scratching to the antlers to add a little detail. Look forward to seeing where you take this.

lol that's awesome, someone import it into Skyrim asap.

This is both scary and exciting.
