Inspired by a few things..mainly a nightmare I'd had and knocked out at 4am -6am a week back.

That is AWESOME!!!!!!

Wish i can transfer 2d stuff to 3D.

What 3D software do you use?

Marty

For this I used ZBrush and 3d max 2008 using mental ray to render it out.

Wayne...

Awesome work! You saw something like this in a nightmare you had? Wish I could draw some of the things I've seen in mine! Or do I? Hmmm, maybe not, too scary!

Another really good one! Awesome detail!

Wow, that's awesome, is it rigged? Can you animate him?
I have zbrush 3.0 and max2008, I like Blender the best though, zbrush eats up my memory and is super slow for my poor compy, and max is too weird to me, I understand how to use it, but it's almost like everything is a modifer lol. I need to read some tuts on it I guess.

Great work,

Thanks everyone I'm glad you liked him.

No he's not rigged at teh moment, mainly as I used a normal map wiht a 40 thousand poly mesh to speed up render times, as a reuslt this means if I do any more than look at the damn thing ...hard crash to reboot lol. So I 'could' if I redid the scene from the ground up. I do some animation for my clients so try to keep away form it when not getting paid for it....lol

But given the free time I'd probably give a go at animating him in the future. Although rendering out anaimtins takes so damn long it drives me crazy lol.
