Character: skeletal warrior

[dakmoden]

Here are the pics of the modeling so far. There is something bugging me but i cant quite put my finger on it yet though...

The obvious symmetry will be taken care of after the general body structure is taken care.

HI

great character
good start for modeling !!

for me, front tooth are too litle flat

[Gene_C]

well thats a nice start, you have some nice hard looking lines on the face there. I think maby the thing thats buggin you might be he brodness of the front of the teeth/jaw area, it should be alot more narow. Lets maby see some flat front shots instead of the down shot, a three quartar shot would be helpfull too.


also get some better reference, I'm not looking at any right now but I think he missing some small bones under the cheek bones and lower face.

http://www.adam-may.com/images/left_shot.jpgok here is a side shot and the 3/4 view. Please elaborate on what you mean by the teeth being too flat. Do you mean the actual teeth or the whole contour of the front of his face?http://www.adam-may.com/images/3_4_shot.jpg

hey dude...i really like your concept... :D

just one question...is it gonna have eyeballs...???

i can't really tell from the reference pic... :)

G...

[dakmoden]

hehe, havent really put much thought into the eyeballs yet :shrug: I was kinda thinking glowing sockets but I'm more than happy to hear any suggestions.

[glynnsmith]

wasn't there a skeleton comic character (a bad guy) that used to have glowing eyeballs / sockets...???

he rode a motorbike from my memory... :p

seeing as the spider has control of him (of sorts), maybe there could be a way for it to see for the skeleton...

just a suggestion... :)

[creative destructions]

Ghost Rider.

[wal_russ]

i realy like your concept drawing cant wait to seen the finished model.

[glynnsmith]

Ghost Rider.

THAT'S THE MUTHA !!!

:D

weren't his eyes actually fireballs...???

G...

[dakmoden]

hehe, ya. All i'd have to do is have his head flaming :)

ok, so no flaming eye sockets...

I really like the idea of the spider seeing through his sockets, gonna hafta do some sketching tonight.

Thnx for the great idea

[dakmoden]

just a small update on my progress tonight

[glynnsmith]

do you find that you seem to have better ideas for other peoples projects than your own...???

i'm always way more interested in what other people are doing, and i always think i get the bum deal...

weird... :p

Glad to be involved, dude... ;)

[Dave Anderson]

Looks wery good and clean , and i realy like how the skull looks . great work :)
Hope you will skin it when you will finish it :thumbsup:

[dakmoden]

hehe for sure, worst problem is i just moved to california to finish up school and so i no longer have all my around who normally were the ones whose ideas i could build off.

Thank goodness for cgtalk :)

[Gene_C]

yeah, I ment the contour of his face, the front 6 teeth are really falt they should have a nice U curve to them. Hope it helps

[thjazi]

Yes, the whole contour of the front teeth
for me

[OptimusDinkus]

yeppers, indeed. A shit load better than my skeliton (although my first model... uck). If your going to keep this in a semi realistic fasion, Id keep it the way it is with the teath, if not, do what others said. Maybe you could make the eyes glowing orbs, or fire spewing flame throwers, or something sensible like woden eyes or glass eyes. I dunno

[Borro]

Hmm the scetch remonds me the blizzard style of concept art! Modeling looks good so far keep it! i hope the finished model will look as good as the scetch!!!!

[dakmoden]

well here's today's progress. Havent gotten around to fixing the teeth like everyone's suggested yet but its deffinately on my to do list :)http://www.adam-may.com/images/3_4_shot_02.jpg

[glynnsmith]

WOWSERS !!!

only one problem...his arms are missing... :p

seriously though...it's looking really cool...he looks really evil with his head tilted down too...

keep 'em coming !!!

G...

[motenai]

Good model i like it till now :thumbsup:
Surely you have to detail the legs yet...they look too simple if compared to the rest of the model....i wait for updates :bounce:

OH...cool concept...it's yours?

[Obi-one]

great character, nice style.

the head is very cool. :bounce:

[cg219]

Lookin good. Looks like Skeletor

[dcmoutinho]

great modeling !!!

[dakmoden]

another small update, tried to add some more curvature to his face and started the process of making all that flat material look like clothe... Oh ya, and now he has arms. They are thin on purpose, I plan on making them look like they are the arms of a life-drained man...

I've yet to see how that goes :) This is definately my most advanced model yet so everything seems to take me forever, especially since I've had my fingers crossed the whole process :)

Thanks alot guys for all the nice and helpful replys, really means alot to someone working their butt off on something.

PS: I never woulda gessed going to school for 3D would so get in the way of getting any 3D done...
