Description
Here's the realised 3d version of my beast of burden from the concept art LINK [link]I tried to make it so it will look like a physical sculpture.. So Final Gathering was opted for it's lighting scheme.
The textures are all handpainted. Here's the link to the textures. [link]
I wished i had time to do the actual sculpture for this beast. It would be so fun.
Another Picture of this Beast without the Desert Gear.. LINK [link]

Awesome 3-d modeling. I do sculpture and you fooled me 'til I read the description and saw the full size view. In the smaller view its really hard to tell its not an actual sculpture. Bravo!
The only give away in the full size view that its a render is the base is perhaps a little too perfectly shiny and symetrical. If you put a little chip or scratch into the circular base, it would probably be even harder to tell its not a photograph of a physical sculpture.

That thing is insane. I need to learn how to 3d model and texture.

It's fun once you get the software hurdles past you.. I'm loving it now. I guess it's the only way i could make money by doing what i like.

Excellent rendering. Looks real as many have said before me. The realistic lighting on the base really sold me on the concept of "real figurine". Thanks for sharing such excellent work.

Thank you very much, however, when you say I'm one of many talents, I always think that I'm Average at lots of things but master of none of them! I write songs too but I'm not the best at them.. See, that's one thing i strive to be good at, Is to find one skill and try to stand out among others!

Thank you.. I'm glad people think it's realistic. It was mostly the lighting that made it look that way.

That is excellent. I seriously thought that it was a picture of a real sculpture you had made until I read otherwise. Wow!

For a second there, I thought it was a little figure from Warhammer.

Not always, depending on what series and what race.
