Hey I just checked out this challenge forum over the weekend...and well...I wanna play...

I know...I know...How can I draw like him. Well it takes a lot of practice...days without sleep type of practice...anyways...check it out...I'll post some character WIP's shortly...

This isn't really a concept art...it's more like a look into my brain...the thought process for my idea...
-peace-

here's a rough idea of what I want...

I need to work on the lighting...and put a lot of details in still...
and work on the compostion....and any suggestions for the "board" he is riding would be helpful...well any C&C's would be helpful...

Ok I think I understand what you mean now...and yes you can use blinn phong or lambert materials...just no textures. As for a color scheme hmm...maybe some light greens and tans. Just try applying different materials to different pieces of the model. In the end you might find a simple flat color gi render might also do the trick. As for criticing the model so far, I'd like to see a more complex harness...and the wings seem a little thinck...keep modeling I wanna see more!!:wip: :wip:

hi i'm also working on a dragonfly, i started this one, but i'm scrubbing the project and going to build a very detailed robotic type dragonfly instead. not bulky in shape, but with tons of parts that it can keep it's organic shape. don't worry about the shitty texture it was just an experiment.

Fetus- thanks for clearing stuff up for me...adn yeah...I'm going to try to add more details in all my models...the more the merrier right?

srich- I don't know why you showed my your dragonfly...but thanks...it's pretty cool...quite a bit different than mine...I thought about making one like that...but it doesn't come across as one that would tow a gnome...come to think of it...I don't think there are too many dragonflies towing gnomes anyways...

well here's an update on the glider thingy that the "gnome" will be using....
a little help would be nice...the deadline is coming...

well this is just to show you how the character will use the glider...this isn't the final pose...but some posing ideas could be helpful...thanks...

well this guy will be holding a tow rope, from the dragonfly pulling him....so this won't be the pose...seeing that he's not hold a rope yet...

Maybe he could be holding it with one hand like a snow/wake board? looking good more updates!!:wip:

Fetus23- hey man...good idea...I was thinking about just making him hold on for dear life...but he would look cooler looking like a snowboarder....and I'm still working on the details for the dragonfly harness...I'm running low on time though

derwolpertinger- thanks for your kind response...
and yeah...I'm still working on the pose...what do you guys think of the plain textures?
