Vermicious Knid Sculpt wip

I spent some time at a coffee shop sculpting this guy this weekend.  someone left a wacom tablet there a couple weeks ago and one of the people working there tried to give it to me, but i don't really need another one.  what kind of idiot loses a wacom tablet?  i can understand losing a pen.

this guy is looking pretty rough, but i wanted to get all  4 of the willy wonka monsters started, before i really finished one of them.  i'm also working on the oopma loompa sculpt.

edit.... didn't like the look of his face so i did a paintover of some changes i might make.

edit #2..........  after i did the paintover i thought it would be funny if he was giving the finger with the hand on his tail.

Oompa Loompa Doopidy Doo

It was nice outside, so I sat in my backyard and sketched some oompa loompas.  None of the sketches really grab me, but I'll use then as reference when i sculpt it in zbrush and pick out parts I like from the different sketches.  I didn't really want to base them much off the movies, the book mentioned they wore deer skin clothes and had crazy hair.

I also sketched out the rotten vermicious knid.  he's got a tail with a hand at the end to grab oompa loompas by the head and then toss them in his mouth.

Whangdoodling

Here's a little more work on the Whangdoodle, a monster that was mentioned in the Willy Wonka movie because it eats oompa loompas .  In my design he uses his smaller arms to dislocate his jaw to open his mouth wide, and then throws in oopa loompas using his big arms.

I sculpted it in zbrush and did a little polypainting , then I started painting it over in photoshop to get some ideas how i might fix it up.

More Willy Wonka monsters

here's a wip of the textures i'm doing for the hornswoggler.  he's rendered in vray using the fast sss2 material, and then some touchup work in photoshop.  I'm working on the Snozwanger sculpt which is really early on.  he's got an extra set of small legs that he only uses when he's fighting to brace himself or something.  i also started sketching oompa loompas for them to eat, but nothing worth showing.

Willy Wonka Monsters

There's a line in the original Willy Wonka movie where he talks about how he saved the Oompa Loompas from a bunch of monsters in their homeland.  Snozzwangers, Hornswogglers, Whangdoodles, and Rotten Vermicious Knids.  I've always thought it would be fun to design what they might look like, and I'm finally getting around to it.  Here's a link to a youtube video with the quote from the movie.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9Zhm8QxKmA&feature=fvsr
