Skaven Clan Rat - Further Smart Bone Rigging

This is just a quick update on the model.

I've improved the tail although I'm sure it could be a lot better any advice let me know. The main work has been done on the cowl and front shoulder when his arms move.

Let me know if you have any comments

Many thanks

Skaven Clan Rat - Rig Test

Hi quick test of the rig so far. Still more to do.

Skaven Clan Rat - Rigging Started

Still tweaking the vectors but have finally started the rigging. Just the bones laid out at the moment no points or layer binding done yet.

Once that's done onto smart bones and actions.

Fun times!

Skaven Vector Work Progress

Still Quite a way to go but pleased with how its going so far. Not sure I will cell shade for all (example tail). As this will all be a problem when it comes to rigging and smart bones. I do like the look though.

Hopefully more progress will be made before next weekend when I will be embarking on some new (as yet undefined) projects.

Let me know what you think so far.

Skaven Lore Inspiration

Hello,

Whilst I've been working on the Vectors  from my sketches I've been listening to these Lore videos from grey hunter. I've posted the Skaven specific one below but he's going to cover all the armies in anticipation for the much awaited Total War : Warhammer Fantasy game. Hopefully we can trust Creative Assembly to do it justice (or heavily patch it after release??).

Also I have been distracted from the animation (ooppps) by Neverwinter Nights 2 which I never played, enjoying so far though. Hopefully it wont interfere with my productivity.

Any way here is Grey Hunters Lore Video:

Initial Skaven model concept

I'm never any good at doing feet, any tips let me know.

 

Skaven?

Really considering a Skaven style warrior for my next little project. It's another tangent from the story I've written but I really want to give it a go. I initially started doing concept art for Gazelle like people which will be a minor race in my own animations and it rekindled the Skaven spark.

Thinking something a long the lines of a Clan rat or maybe Gutter Runner for starters. Not going to go for Grey Sear though maybe in the future. Warp thrower might be cool to make and a good particles test?

Any way just a thought will post some concept stuff up soon.
