Hi!!!
Just taken a sketch I made some time ago concerning the mood I felt in that present (probabily this present too) caused by our contemporary condition.
Hope will fit the guidelines....

Good luck to the world

[willyam]

this is the ninja, or a samurai?

[Eternal Dream]

Don't know actually. I was just thinking at a warrior...

[lateonight]

It should be a warrior not to much sterotyped....

Just tried to model the head but not too much satisfied... Think gonna look for smt else...

Here's a new image.As you can see the character has a new face :I changed my mind several times but this could be a part of the final model.

And this is the detail of the torso.

Finally I've completed the geometry!!

oops!!!wo times the same image..hehe
This should be the right one!!

Just used cold white plane light plus an orange bottom light.I am thinking at the environment, don't really know what to do.

made some adjustment to the model...

[lateonight]

am I gonna put this character in the final scene?

[lateonight]

hmm thinking about.....

[lateonight]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/3441/3441_1087563218_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/3441/3441_1087563218_large.jpg)

we will see---

[lateonight]

The scenario will be composed by the main character on the front and by an ancient "polis" (city) hit by a plague. What plague? A storm of walnuts....

to be continued...

a wire of the city (top view)

This should be the final position. It is so hard to decide which position the character should assume. Reviewed keeping in mind some basic geometry constraints...

[lateonight]

Think must go further...

but not so sure. Tried with old position

this is close to the final skin appearance

trying to use as few lights as poss.. front Key light

hmm think it is too strong...

it could be something like this. Note the walnuts...

[Sandpiper]

I don't know why anyone hasn't posted on this thread. This is good stuff! I love that chicken's face. :)

The experiments with the skin are looking good. Better hurry! Keep going, this is a fun one!

[lateonight]

This is the output rendering for the main character

This is the compositing for the city. Added myst and conformed colors to the background

Painted the background with colors that fit with character's and "city"

I am not sure whther to take this image for final or to crop it .... see the next

[lateonight]

This is the definetely final.

Crazy times.
Well, the picture talks about "My condition" but it doesn't really talk of me author. It talks instead about a man which is falling. He is a warrior because he fights every day inside the world. This world asked him to be honest, polite and nice with the neighbor.
Time's passed and world was brother to him, such as the elder.

Now he is falling down as he was doing before. He thinks that tomorrow he will cease falling down thanks to his capability. "My arm will bear my weight" - he thinks. Energy from his body is required to feed the strength of his arm. Atrophied is the rest of his body: plastified has he the legs, the other arm has been forgotten, while his mind stopped breathing since one month ago.
Is he this way because the bigger brother has forced him to take place in the chessboard? Hope not. He is master in 3D walnuts modelling. Yeah he models only... animating is my task.



Reality has lot of meanings different from each to each; images have even more...

cheers,
lateonight
