Alien WIP....

[Grey]

Nice work. How many hours into it are you?

[Stephan]

This head? Started a few hours ago with some breaks.. worktime about 2 hours... I'm a bit slow....

[neilyb]

Trouble with aliens is....your the only person who knows how it should look. But I would say work on the lips and the eyes. Add depth and detail make them more believable....

[neilyb]

Why do people always say "I did this in 2 hours" or "I have only spent 3 hours..." this I personally don't care about, providing the model is good. Seems to me people either wish to say "Look at me, did this in onle a few hours aren't I cool!" or "Didi this in 3 hours, thats my excuse for it being shoddy!".....for Newbies I can understand this, but lots of people in the WIP section say this alot, as if it is and excuse for cack work?:shrug:

[Stephan]

Well, I was asked for it...

[Grey]

Niely, I did ask :D

[neilyb]

Yeh in this case it's fine, as I said. But there are many people on the forums who use time as and excuse to a) show off or b)be cack. I just got reminded that this iritates me......hihi....anyway, work on the eyes, give wrinkles and stuff, this adds depth. Whatever you model our only reference is humans, so if the alien is a biped humanoid character it will not look right without the correct "human" features!

I would try and loosely follow human anatomy :)



Stu.

hey stephan, looks cool except for the position of the mouth. i'd tryy to lower its position a lot. well, just a suggestion. :D

[That Adrian Guy]

he he he... instead of lowering the mouth... try moving the chin further up, ke he he

Oh yeah, get rid of the beak

[That Adrian Guy]

a quick paint over "I did this in 10 minutes!!!!" he he he he, just kidding (get it?) okay.. it was corny

[derwolpertinger]

that paintover is a good idea! but decrease the size of the mouth a bit stephan in case you go for the look of this paintover.

[Stephan]

Hmmm... I'm not trying to create Casper the friendly ghost.... ;)
I tried several positions and sizes for the mouth, but that one seemed the best... but I agree with neilyb, that it needs more detail... ok... working further on it today... will show progress later on

[Grey]

Stephen, suggestion:

just take out the smile, see how that looks.
