Some concept sketches, to put my image in my head on paper.
I think I’ll make an other animal for the caravan.
Story:
Every thousand year, the Krems have to send out a small group, on a
journey to find the rarest flower on the earth and bring back the pollen
from it. The pollen are kept in a machine that makes their town
completely invisible for everyone but the krems.
the head of the turtle look great. About the house: I dont know what your gonna add now, but it doesnt look to steady. You should put rope or something around the turtles belly, so the house wont fall off. And the toes of the turtle need some work too.
Thanks yoeri, if you’d looked on the concept sketch you’d see that he is going to have belts and stuff to make the house steady :). You’re absolutly right about the toes.
A few things I’d like to point out
*The “toe nails” (do turtle have them, or is it just me?) are stretched vertically
*The legs look like rag dolls. Maybe make them go into the shell in a more straight maner than a bend 90 degree thiner joint
*The texture on the vertical pannels of the home look stretched vertically
*You might want to close the area ,between the shells, between the front legs and the turtl’es neck
*The railing on the home gives it a “modern” feeling. MAybe model carved wood vertical bars.
it’s pronouced Slep-nyr- L (sort of L sound like in LoL but only the L and very short its sort of optional in a way since its just some sort of guideline on how to pronouce the r or whatever…i’m droning off again…)
I saw the texture was stretched because the color of the wood is uniform in each plank. There are no vertical color variations. thats how I spotted it
Its been a while since I looked a a turtle shell, but I thought the tiling was kind of hexagonal?
also, from the 3/4 view the turtle looks really nice but from top it looks like it would be a little imbalanced? The legs look thin from top view, so it doesn’t really look like they could support a house
from what i remember, turtle legs are not quite so round, maybe that the problem with the slighly unnatural look of the leg in your model. try to stretch your legs a bit wider along a line and line it up with the curve of the shell.
The Tutrtle looks cool so far ! I think the Neck is a bit to long and you should probably take a look at the feats of the turtle. The don’t have knee’s but somehow the angle of the “knee” looks a bit to flat for me. But it’s a great start and i’m looking forward for more results.
