Hello there fellow hunters, the Forest Monsters are completed!

Hey it’s Meleemaru, one of the 3D-Artist of the PSO-Remake project. The last weeks I’ve been working on the Wolves and the Hildebear. It was a lot more work than the Boomas or Rappies for example, especially the Wolves were a challenge. I’ve never modeled a dog or something similar before, so i needed to study at the anatomy of a dog for while. It wasn’t fun. Dogs without skin look scary. But at the end of the day, it paid off. I also changed the face a little, the old one looked a tad…well, let’s say it looked like the wolves were dropped on their head as a kid.

Now, the Hildebear was relatively easy, except the face. The original model had a low res texture with details that can only be interpreted in one way or the other. The concept art and PSO EP III Cards looked different from eachother too. So i had to figure out how the face should look like on my own. I tried to work the overlapping details from the original model, concept art and EP III card into my final design. I needed to add some details here and there, so i looked at the boomas and wolves – i took the lamella-like stuff they have around their eyes to give the hildebear a more cohesive look. It wouldn’t alter his face too far away from the original, but it would add the needed detail to make it look more interesting. The model itself is by far the most fleshed out. It needed to have more details since it’s a pretty big monster that uses a lot of screenspace.

Evilpixills, our other 3D-Artist has worked on the laser-fence switch in the meantime and finished it just last week. He did a really good job at it, and his screenshots look a lot better than mine. Just look at this beautiful piece of art:

But wait! There’s more pictures, in which you might spot a DBs Saber + Flowens Sword too:
