we belong to mother nature

[Falcorr]

Very promising 2D artwork :thumbsup:

Im glad youre not up against me in the 2D machine flesh. Im trying to wonder how are you going to do when you start 3D modelling.

Good luck!:bowdown:

[lulaassassina]

Great concepts! Very stylish!

Keep on m8!

Hello Vlad,

Nice to see your smooth modeling and drawing art. And of course your name sounds good, but I think lot of people say that.

Do you have academic skills? It looks like.

Do you use rhino?

cya and congrats to your elegant details:bowdown:

[VladPascanu]

thanks
i ve learned drawing and 3d by myself
thanks to Michelangelo and F1
hope i ll get better
i m learning arhitecture
3dsmax - splines and epoly

[Squibbit]

very , very good designs !

the curvy parts are so cool , and the wrist is best ,
probably one of the best if not the best wrist in the
whole contest :D

[maxus13]

Impressive skeches... great technique
Keep going that way ...
I like the idea
Good luck, man!

[shinjuku]

very nice interpretation of sketch thus far.
eager to see the following phases.
i like your choice of metaphorical reference, has room for humour
and intense dramatisation.
good luck in the challenge./

[Cygnus-X]

REally like the idea. :thumbsup: your design and modeling are great. Keep it up:beer:

update

[celmar]

It's a really impressive work, Bombeu! with a lot of significations "around"!... I'm waiting for the updates!...

[flinder]

nice work. excellent detailing.

[jddog]

:eek: wonderful work !
jdd

[chi]

yeah im sorry, but i guess im gonna have to be the one to ask the question.... but is the earth to be THAT suggestive?! It might just be me, but i think some clarification would be great.

[Tremoside]

What an excellent thread!!!
Man I have to :bowdown: your work in texin and modellin is awesome. I really like the sculpted feeling of your model.

KEEP IT UP MATE!

[Changeling]

I'm gonna have to agree with chi... the whole 'mother earth' thing is a little in your face, so to speak. It could get messy if it overbalances and gets stuck on his head:hmm:

keep up the good work.

[BrettHolton]

i agree with chiu, the planet can does seem very suggestive.. well it did to me when i first saw it and still does

[VladPascanu]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/3497/3497_1085345016_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/3497/3497_1085345016_large.jpg)

thanks for replying
about the latest replies - i wanted
the planet to be that suggestive
i don t intend to make something obscene
but i think that way i express my idea better
posted the concept above

[VladPascanu]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/3497/3497_1085345164_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/3497/3497_1085345164_large.jpg)

and here s the update

[lulaassassina]

powerfull image u got there m8!
You're really on the top threads for this contest.

My suggestion:
The breast muscles are too down, because they look relaxed, in spite of his arms being projected to the back of his bodie.

Also the the rib/abdominals connection are wierd! When anyone is in that position, the flesh will bend in the tummy area, not in the aexternus. Sholders an neck are wierd too.

In spite of the crits, Brutal job, again!

[Ionized]

Fascinating take on the mother earth idea. I like it very much and although it is very suggestive, I dont see it as a problem. You obviously are trying to create something that is very provocative.

I hope the final composition will do the subject matter the justice that it deserves. With something like this, I think you need to take a very sombre approach to the lighting and textures.

Some very nice modelling in there too... =)

[aLxDesigns]

Very nice level of detail!
Just a thought...the muscles of the lower arm look a little fragile to hold that kind of structure...or maybe it could? I dont know :shrug: but it looks a little odd.

Other then that, very nice progress and idea! Cant wait to see the final result of efforts!

KEEP ON ROCKIN'!!! :buttrock:

[Changeling]

looks good... like the added stuff.

you're not going to make the 'mother-earth' vulva thing to fleshy are you?

Cheers.

[Lonx]

I must say; this looks very cool. I like the idea of modernizing the Atlas-legend. Very nice.

[VladPascanu]

wip

[braindust]

that looks really impressive!

one small comment: perhaps you could "twist" a bit his head and put it a bit lower so it gives more the impression of a heavy weight

I would add also some wrinkles to his forehead (perhaps you were already planning to do that with textures) that would magnify the feeling of a heavy burden

[Luter]

Good work man...Art, ideas, thoughts....have always caused discussions...Do what you feel, what you like, that's all...the purpose of discussion on this forum (in my task) is not to modify the principe of the primal idea of a concept but eventually to enhance technical and artistical capacities and sometimes to find a better idea...

Anyway, sorry for my bad english, keep up !:D

lula_assassina

i ll try to correct/hide them

Ionized
Changeling
i ll be carefull about materials

Burning_Frust
style vs functionality ???
that s always a hard choice

Lonx
:)

goli
i ve seen a lot of threads on CG where the discusions where around the decency of the posted image and less about its quality
i don t want that

harnelbe
:thumbsup:

[aLxDesigns]

Well I really tought that maybe both style and funtionality could be intergrated into a project...

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Believe it or not ..it is the first time i walk in your thread...and i am very sorry about this....Amazing work and details ...i really hope u finish this one and make us happy to see it textured and with a nice dramatic lighting.


:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Holy salmon mousse!

This is a beautiful piece of work - top notch concept and execution....

:applause:

Then I'm on my way, stalking Dimitris to see what he's up to...... :D ... I could easily imagine David Attenburrough doing the voice-over here, sort of whispering....

[Versiden]

holy shyte, this is excellent.... Im glad I found this.
this is really styling dude, details are outstanding.. I'm surprised you havent gotten more replies - wtf!

sweeeeeeeeeeet

:buttrock:

[saraki]

wow i haven't seen this one, the concept, composition and modelling is fantastic - all of great quality. I can't wait to see this one finished, this composition is very strong and so is the concept - not to mention great machinery. Great job! :buttrock:

Sean

[roctavian]

Hi Bombeu,

Congrats from Cluj.
Bombeu, you have style.
Very nice job, Very nice ideea (and some couraje, too).
You have my vote.
I`m eager to see the final image.
Good luck and happy rendering man.


pro

[Luter]

Your skills in modelisation are impressive...I like a lot the organic feeling of your work...and idea too is great...can't say anything else for now...
I wait for the next...

btw, thanks for your nice comment on my thread:)

best regards.

jeffrey.

[Luter]

Your skills in modeling are impressive...i like the organic feeling...the idea too is really interesting... i can't say anything else for now.........i wait for the next and your render tests...


Btw, thanks a lot for your nice comments on my thread:)

Best regards.

jeffrey

[Luter]

oups!!.... sorry for the two comments...do you want another one ??:D

[VladPascanu]

yes


thanks for your comments

[Virtuoso]

I'll give you one Vlad................A well deserved one,Your beautiful concept is getting a real nice 3D rendition,I cannot believe that I missed your thread.Too too many to keep up with.Sometimes I wish the challenge had only 100 entries or so,it would be simpler to be involved with others as they progress.........But still at least i caught up with you now,very nice,really think alot of your efforts................:thumbsup: :buttrock:

[Zenlines]

Nuu see poaate!! Beton! Traiasca Vladutu!

The concept is super, the character looks great, and the most important, you're made to do 3D.
I would have some suggestions for the face expression. I think there's somethig that doesn't look right. The muscles around the nose are a bit too contracted for a closed mouth;

And to suggest the heaviness on the character you could bury his neck a bit or raise the shoulder. All in all, great work. Three thumbs up. Mai vb.

great concept and great execution. I dont know what your planning but i would make sure that the earth has a very realistic layerd look. No just a txture maped on but all the atmosphere stuff.

[VladPascanu]

the first was just an idea

[Lonx]

Very nice texes, man. I'm really impressed. What software do you use?

//Lonx

[hanzo]

bombeu: thanks dude :scream:

Lonx, I think that's maya, meshing shade looks the same as in maya, when I'm working,

[VladPascanu]

Lonx thanks

Eu zic ca i-ai cam batut la cur pe aia de la 3d. Texturile si bumpmappingu sunt extraordinare, foarte realiste.

Imi place foarte mult lucrarea ta si cred ca ai mari sanse sa convingi si juriul.
Abia astept sa vad puzzle-ul laolalta.

Esti tare de tot!!
