C.O.W. #162 Holiday Dinner with the Harkonnens -- posting WIPs Thread

[Fantasy Jack]

Hello everyone , thats the first C.O.W. im participating so please be nice ^^'
Im not sure if i can complete that Picture , but ill try.
The idea is that the Harkonnen like to Torture what they eat so the Creature ive drawn is (supposed to be) still alive , while they are eating its Innards. =)

Ah, there are some nice new things around

Fantasy Jack: A very disgusting idea to eat the creature while it still lives- but very fitting for the Harkonnens.

RayTwicket: Nice idea to give the creature an appearance of a turkey.. The textures also looks nice so far.

esteen: Creepy looking creature here- but I think the creature has to be found also in the left ecosystem of Giedi Prime? However, I like the skull-like head here. Also the perspective looks nice (especially of the second one).

Mr.Wittmann: A sand creature- somehow a had a similar idea first, but I decided this would be a more fitting creature for Arrakis itself, not for Giedi Prime- I like your design nonetheless and I'm sure it will still fit to the planet in the end.

Obacmar: Nice sketches so far.

pepps: Also some nice sketches and a pretty scary looking head..

Carnifex: A very nice idea- I'm sure any creature that still lives on Giedi Prime has to hide itself somehow to survive.

..aaaand: Another update of my creature! I didn't have that much time for it yet (had to finish something else), but I'm pretty sure I can still finish it on time

[Tommoy]

I already have an idea for the cooking process but I'm not sure if I'll make it in time.

[Mr.Wittmann]

Im out...
Dont feel like finishing the creature since it probebly dont fit the unirverse and i really dont know anything about dune.. only animal i know from the world is the giant sandworm, sry.

[KentonLikesFish]

I'm not ready to post yet, but the link for the finish isn't working for me. Anybody else having this problem?

[iamdio08]

hey there folks, this is my first time doing some entry in conceptart.org..
nice to meet you all! hope we can do a good things here

i think this is my vision of native creature of Geidi Prime..


i hope i can keep updating this creature

[Lege1]

What's up cowsters? Just wanted to come by and drop a line and say that I am def trying to get down with this little challenge. I also want to drop a link so some of you can get to know me and hopefully be inspired some.

We are all internet bound here so it's not like many know each other on the personal tip if you know what I mean. Also I want to put this link out because it shows some of the cows I dropped being featured, which is proof in the pudding that anyone can do something with this here. You don't have to be discouraged cause your work isn't the best, it never will be. I never won a cow and probably never will but at least gets some recognition in this crazy world we live in.

Big things are popping in Miami Florida where I am located so I am trying to make the best with the time. Anyway, enjoy and much love you all.

Here here Lege 1. It'll be nice to see how much you've improved since you've been at this. I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance..

Tommoy: That's just plain crazy! Nicely done man.

iamdio08: Welcome. Cool texture on that skin.

Kind of a slow one huh? Well, was gonna sit this one out, but with another alien, how could I? Started one today.

[Geir]

Thought I'll try this one. Love Dune, and it sounds fun. My idea is a rat like monkey creature. One that lives of waste from the humans, and like rats eat most anything and very hardy. Don't know if I can manage to finish. Am pretty busy. Well, here's my initial sketches.

First idea

Study from my graveyard shift

A little taste of the environment were I'll put them (they live in small packs.

[Orm Irian]

Mr.Wittmann: Oh noes.. Now you make me feel really guilty- I like the concept of your creature, I really do.. and there is no reason why it whouldn't live on Giedi Prime. Giedi Prime is not a sand planet (like Arrakis), it's a more or less fully industrialised planet- but still there are some wild places left. Your creature could have found a ecological niche there. Don't worry, you can explain that still in the description.
Besides.. The chance of surviving on Giedi Prime is much higher under the earth than above the earth, if you ask me.

Tommoy: Nice creature design here.

iamdio08: Really a weird looking creature design here... looks a little bit like a palm.

scorge: Really nice design of your creature- it has almost something from an undead look.

Dozeren: Nice idea here- there is surely enough things around for it to eat.


Another update of my creature- the right side gets really bloody somehow...

[jspangler]

I have to regretfully bow out on this round. Just not enough time. And to be honest if I do find time it would be better for me to try and tackle "The Morrigan" for CHOW since my portfolio could use less monsters and more females.

Orm Irian - I like the insect-like iridescence that your creatures possess. And the egg sacks within are a nice touch.

Scorge - That thing is nasty. Only a Harkonnen would consider eating its flesh. Nice design.

Tommoy - Its cool for me to see people's work from round to round when I am not previously familiar with their style. I really like the "character" that your creatures possess. Nice work.

[Mr.Wittmann]

thanks Orm Irian, but its not your fault that i quit, im just not into the dune unirvers

[Vaghauk]

this is the grown-up adult version of the udderslug. The legs become useless when the creature grows.The harkonnen feed the udderslug until it grows huge like this.These first sketches are a bit cartoony- i think i´m going for a bit more realism when i start to paint this.

[mongreldesigns]

I picture the creature as fat and pokey like the Baron himself.

[RayTwicket]

nice to see it picked up in here a little and there's some really good work going on.
Vaghauk that's awesome, looking forward to seeing it when it's finished
Orm Irian yours is pretty bad ass, I like the way they tear them apart like one of the Christmas snappers (if you know what I'm talking about) to eat them, very festive
scorge that's thing's great! and fast too. good style.
Tommoy you got a good thing going on there, I bet you can get it done
Fantasy Jack I like the idea, keep it coming

Mine's comin along slowly, here's what I got so far...

[scorge]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Update. Almost done!

[Tommoy]

Scorge, looks tasty already.

Mine is close to final, still working on the cooking process.

[pepps]

won´t be able to finish but here are some sketches i was working on anyway

[Tommoy]

This is where my creature ends up in, the Harkonnen fondue.

[Vaghauk]

this is a very sketchy quick thumb of the dinner-party.The giant udderslug is in an room above the hall where the harkonnen celebrate.The enormous udder hangs through an hole and i want to have some small flying sclicer-robot who delivers pieces of the udder to an barbeque-grill on the right. Under the udder i want to put something to collect the blood and liquid from the cutting - i might add tubes and pipes and stuff ...
this is a bit messy and doesn´t show much but it catches the atmosphere i´m aming for.
I hope i can finish all this on time ....

[Geir]

I have throw in the towel. Got the flue yesterday, and not feeling good now. I'll finish my piece, but not for the contest. Ta for great topic, and good luck to y'all

[Vaghauk]

dozeren : hope you get better very fast !!!!
tommoy : this looks awesome - how do the harkonnen actually eat this ? looks huge !

[Vaghauk]

detail sketches...

[Vaghauk]

some ideas for the "kebab robot"
all these sketches are made directly with an ink pen and i apologize for the poor english and lousy handwriting ....

[scorge]

Done-ish. Any input greatly appreciated.

[Vaghauk]

scorge :this looks tasty but i ask myself if its served cold like an salad or cooked ? if its cooked you could add some steamy smell coming.....
something is odd --- In the first pic you got some steamy smell going around and the creature looks fresh from the oven - skin is less transparent and color brown- and in the second "cooked" version it looks cold and rare- like still slimy and -i dontknow fresh like some seafood .... maybe its just me but iwould eat the first version - looks like grilled chicken

[Carnifex]

yeah,i just thought the same thing: shouldn't that second one be more thurougly cooked? it's still raw and bloody

really like the way you're sketching vaghauk.

thinking about this whole thing,i now crave chicken scalloped with cheese....mmmmmmm.....damn you all!

[Vaghauk]

some colors on the adult version of the hiddeous Slok. ( i decided to call it Slok - cause i got nerved with all the long names... udderslugg and uddshluk and whatever : Slig=slug+pig - Slog=slug+cow... if you know what i mean... okay,well - but its short and tasty.Slok.
thanx carnifex --- aaaarrrr you are making me hungry !!!!!

[scorge]

Thanks for the advice guys! Fixed (I hope)

[Vaghauk]

yep ! looks cooked ! mhjam ! i say : bom appetite !
