Odibatorasu - another Monster Hunter Frontier fella that I have never fought and probably never will, but have been asked to recreate as a modern asset. Probably my most involved work yet; this guy is colossal and needed a lot of bespoke details over his huge bulk that took me about a month of sculpting.
The low-poly is around 100k faces; high poly was about 30 million and he uses three 4k texture sets. Will show off some behind the scenes stuff in a future post.

idk
The Sand God has caught a meal!
just ported odibatorausu and akura vashimu for this render!
not sure what il do with them but hey ideas from you guys are always welcome!
Hybrid of Odibatorasu and Dagahra making Dagatorasu!
I’ve heard some people compare the new monsters designs to the ones from Frontier and Online, especially Magnamalo. Do you have any thoughts on that matter?
(I kinda get where they’re coming with that, especially with Magnamalo as you said. It’s definitely extravagant to say the least, but it’s (seemingly) an Elder Dragon threat-level flagship and also in the same family as Zinogre so it gets somewhat of a pass in my book.)
(But the thing is, Frontier and Online had plenty of great monster designs. Sure, there were some that were absolutely ridiculous and looked ugly or overdesigned by MH standards, with the Zenith and Burst species being the worst examples, but many would fit right in perfectly with the rest of the series. I would adore seeing Baruragaru, Odibatorasu or Tartaronis in the main games.)
(For me, and I assume most people, Frontier and Online are not bad games in the slightest. They just don’t mesh well with the main series in terms of style, which makes sense as they were made by a different team. Like I’ve said, there are amazing monsters that would fit perfectly in the main series, but there are also plenty of others that look like Digimon or something and have attacks that fill up the entire screen.)

And here's the behind the scenes images. Textures are mostly hand painted; but I wish now I'd put a little more texture into the sculpt itself instead of trying to fake most of the micro-details with materials, which did broadly work out but still isn't quite as crisp as I'd like it.
Sculpt took about a month, on and off, and then I did the painting over the course of a long weekend. Environment is just a procedural displacement on top of a plane.
Feel free to message me or reblog with questions if there's any part of the process you want info on, or if you just need close ups or pictures of something that isn't shown here!
(Decided to group these two together for something. I think I’ve mentioned it in another ask before, but I’ll repeat it here to restablish that point. I consider Frontier a separate canon from the main series, think like Hyrule Warriors with Zelda for example. It was a perfectly fine game, don’t get me wrong, but it just doesn’t feel like a Monster Hunter game. I think this video here does a good example of explaining how I feel about it. They feel a lot stronger about the point than I do, but I agree with the basis of what they’re saying)
(That’s not to say I don’t enjoy some parts however. There are actually some monsters I would love to see in the main series, in a little bit more subdued manner. Espinas, Odibatorasu (who may actually be canon to the main series), Akura Vashimu, Pokaradon, Baruragaru and Inagami, to name a few.)
