Design Goal
Creating a faithful, articulated collector’s figure for a specific community of fans
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter is a 1998 hunting simulation game where the player embarks to an alien planet to hunt its reptilian residents
Thought it is an old game, Carnivores still has a thriving, passionate community of fans. Everything you see below is a passion project made by the community of Carnivores.
Design Study
The T. rex in Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter has a strange, unique design
Sketching
Incredibly skinny arms
Large head with odd proportions (oversized eye, thin lower jaw, etc.)
Short, thin tail
Long, scrawny legs and small feet
Adding more detail while still keeping the original design’s most iconic features
Final Design
Rugged and armored, while still keeping the lanky proportions of the original model.
Joint Study
Much of the dinosaurs’ personalities in Carnivores comes through in their animations; thus a fluid joint system is critical to this project.
