Paranundrox's Pachyderms (And Other Assorted Oddities)

you’re among friends here… feel free to share, i hardly think anyone will be overly cruel… :wink:

Its nowhere near completion… The hair is decent, but the body shading will be annoying. You’d think working with one color on people would be easier…

EDIT: Here’s a head as it is currently. The hair is ok, but it feels a lot like a Dark Eldar Mandrake

im not sure what you’re aiming for, but i do like that model… and is that a voxel goatee? :+1:

i think you are onto something here… :smiley:

I got bored with that project, which I may revisit eventually. Here’s a sneak preview of what I’m working on next (just some concept art I sketched out at 11 last night…)

doth mine eyes deceive me, or is that a monocled and top-hatted elephant i see before me? :+1:

Yes, yes it is. I even have another alliteration to go with the model as well…

@Paranundrox for some reason I feel that there will be a Posh British Humanoid Elephant mod next… Hmmmmmm???..I wonder…

… maybe

The full concept art picture also has a teacup and a fancy cane, yes.

edit: But I’d have to make up some witty wordplay for the title of the species and/or mod…

Idea you could make a mod about an Elephant Version of the British Empire set in 1750!!!

@Paranundrox Is this elephant Loxodonta africana (African Elephant) or Elephas maximus (Asian Elephant) as those are the two recognised species of Elephant? (He’s obviously too classy to be a sub-species)

And (I know it is terrible grammar to start a sentence with ‘and’ but so is the way of life) what will the species be called?
Elephantimorpha (Proboscidea) perhaps?

I only wish to be helpful,

First Iteration of the Elephant Titan

I’m mainly focused on the shape right now, though I should probably work on shading so he doesn’t look like he’s wearing sweats…

Edit: Looking back on him, he look super blocky, most likely BECAUSE of the lack of shading… I’ll post a better one once I finish that…

leisure suit pachyderm? :smile:

he looks pretty awesome so far… perhaps more of a gut on him though? those “nubs” on the end of his ears might need to be clipped, unless the entire ear is intended to be animated (i think you mentioned that before)…

@Paranundrox you need to get your Elephant Titan to Fight my Majesty’s ( @voxel_pirate ) Cow Titan or You two could make a mod where you both have your Titans as Kings and they have mini Versions fight to the DEATH with each other!!! :smiley: That way the community gets 2 more “unique” Factions!!!

Actually, I WAS planning on making a tux for one after I finished the hat and monocle… Am I really THAT predictable?

In regards to the ear, I PLAN on animating it, but if there isn’t a way to export to a .obj before the game is released, I’ll probably clean up the models with that fact in mind, to fit an existing model…

Or I’ll just have to upgrade my edition of Qubicle, which I might do if I have enough models lying around and too much free time.

Here’s an update with a decent amount of shading on the bottom. It’s coming on well, but its a bit of a pain. That plus allergies is really slowing me down…

Edit: It’s popping up and then disappearing for me, let me know if its actually there or not…

I can’t see it :disappointed:

@Paranundrox Its there, no need to worry your pants off :wink:

Absolutely Wonderful job @Paranundrox !!!
All he or she now needs is a Tux and a top hat! (if the Elephant is a male) or a dress and sun hat (if he is really a she).

im not seeing it, but i’ll try from another machine in a tick…

Oh Come on @SteveAdamo , ask yourself this who here really wouldn’t want a Posh Elephant? :wink:
