Corpser dimensions

[vincetetreault]

Hi,

i need to sculpt a "Corpser" for my GOW stopmotion project.

http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=750435

I need as many details as possible in order to sculp it right.
I found some pictures (4-5) on the web, but they doesn't help me very
much to estimate the dimensions of this creature.

I didn't find anything on that forum even after some search about it.

With all the stuff i've seen here, i can't imagine that there
isn't any infos about it...

Your help will be very appreciated (more pictures or infos about it's size)


Thanks

Humm... that's too bad...

I guess i'll have to guess about the size of my Corpser sculpt.

I'll post my first sketch (on paper) to have you opinion then.

No idea about the dimensions. But, I look forward to your work! :)

Thanks.

I would have like to have some size reference before starting anything.

I can't believe there aren't any, anywhere...

The picture founded on the internet doesn't help me very much either.

I don't want to messed up my project with a too small or too big Corpser...

Everything done so far is perfect scaled (1/24).

Those two show comparisons to human figures. While I can't find any measurements, basing it around the average human should help.

Best of luck.

Thanks, but from the point of view of those shots (and on any other pictures available on the web), it's very hard to estimate it's size.

This one (below) shows the Corpser looking way bigger

By the way, i'll have to do the rear part of the corpser either. The shot below is the only one i could found.

Does it look like correctly done (proportion & details) ?

I didn't really payed attention about the rear part of the Corpser while playing the game and i don't think we really see it.

That first picture, showing the Corpser on a massive scale, is just for the "Mad World" TV ad. I do think the Corpser's size was emphasized to prove a point in the trailer. It's size is off, I wouldn't use that for reference.

Yes, that's approximately what the back of a Corpser looks like. It turns around...rarely, it being a digging-type creature and all. That picture you have is probably the best you're going to get as-to the back.

[vincetetreault]

Since, i'm doing a "remake" of the MAD WORLD TV AD, i'll probably tried to stick with that reference...

I'll sleep on that.

Thanks for the help !

Oh, you are? That'll be cool. The Corpser has never looked so vivid and frightening as in the Mad World ad. That should be cool.

My pleasure. I await your work of art! :)

That's very good work, and I'd like to see it finished.

I've got a copy of Gears PC so I'll have a look tomorrow about getting some front-back and side pics of the Corpser straight out of the game editor. That should do you just fine.

Thanks, i'll update that thread when new sequences will be done.

Wow ! That would be terrific.

Can you also put a character side by side with the Corpser in order to estimate it's size ? (based on a 6 feet human)

Sure can.

... and a better front view since the leg/arms obscure it.

The images on the light grey backing are all in scale to each other for ease of use.

Woot !!!

This will be very useful.

Thank you very much.
