Daiman Posted December 23, 2012 Hi folks this is my latest CUUSOO project. I'm interested in comments on the creature design in particular as it's my first venture into creature design from scratch. Don't forget to support if you want one too or just pop over and suggest modifications to the concept if you think it could improve. http://lego.cuusoo.c...deas/view/32327 http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobThePom Posted December 23, 2012 Wow! I would love one of those in my collection. Good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mordatre Posted December 23, 2012 Maybe less spots on the Dewback and more "scale-pattern". I like the saddle design. This would make a wonderful set and priced at 19 - 25$ this would fly off the shelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master3019 Posted December 23, 2012 It's about time we get a new dewback. This more detailed one reminds me of Kenner's action figure. It would be nice to see what it looks like without the sandtrooper. Supported on CUUSOO, commented too. BTW what program did you render in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The program used for the building was the ever faithful LDD to POVRAY and the dewback created in 3ds max then cobbled together in photoshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naugem Posted December 23, 2012 This is pretty. I'd love to get this set. My only comment would be to add some play feature to the building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daiman Posted December 23, 2012 This is pretty. I'd love to get this set. My only comment would be to add some play feature to the building. Thanks for the comment. Initially the play features are the sliding door and Threepio hidey hole as displayed on CUUSOO Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangely Posted December 23, 2012 I love the design, it seems pretty consistent with how Lego handles creatures currently, a nice mix between detailed and cartoony. I suggest you move the spots down a pinch so the slope bricks wouldn't need printing. Otherwise though it's right on the mark. We really need new Jawa's too.

DarthPotato Posted December 24, 2012 Wow, that Dewback looks awesome! It looks just like something Lego would design, and they have been making larger molded creatures and figures lately, so this could totally happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fighter of Frizzies Posted December 24, 2012 Hmmm, you know I had said to Borex that the Mos Eisley Cantina would be better as one set; if they can't fit a Dewback into a large Cantina model, something like this with a large chunk of connectable Cantina to complement a larger set could work out well. As long as two sets is enough to spread out some of the must-have Cantina characters. Thanks for the comment. Initially the play features are the sliding door and Threepio hidey hole as displayed on CUUSOO Cheers. I noticed there were no flick-fire missiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daiman Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I noticed there were no flick-fire missiles. Laughing... I read right through the pun sorry Edited December 24, 2012 by Daiman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reevr Posted December 24, 2012 It looks awesome! I'd maybe do something a little different with the saddle though. Those half pyramids don't quite cut it for me. Even an old school lego saddle would probably look ok. I'm definitely giving my support to this though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HJR-Holland Posted December 24, 2012 Love it, so voted :-) good thing you included a Jawa; we need more of those! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wedge09 Posted December 24, 2012 Nice idea :thumbup: Personally I'd like that the dewback has a longer tail as in the films Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chieffy765 Posted December 24, 2012 I think this is a great idea. I never got the chance to get the first dewback. This one has great detail but I believe that if LEGO made it, it would either be less detailed or be in an expensive full cantina set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie75 Posted December 24, 2012 Honestly, that thing is awesome! Since Lego has been releasing new figure with alot more detail, then before. The Dewback is sorely in need of a re-release. We got Jabba, a Rancor, a Dewback should coming soon. Thanks for the hard work, Jamie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
North Lego Star Posted December 24, 2012 Great Job Daiman! The Building looks really nice and that Dewback is just perfect. I hope we see a dewback next year in a new Mos Eisley Cantina set similar to your design! Again excellent work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borex Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Nice! Let's get Lego to make Mos Eisley-sets instead of Hoth-sets ----> i want that dewback And oh yeah you should design a Bantha with a Tusken Raider outpost-set as well! Edited December 24, 2012 by Borex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
