Twisted Extreme Sports - character - mrmark

[mrmark]

3 hints for you twisted people


1. Goblins
2. Style, Skill and Strength
3. Beanies

oh come on! i practically gave it away!

[mrmark]

heres a scraggy looking concept doodle:

[BrainFaucet]

Hmmm.... racing on flying goblins?

[mrmark]

they may be considered flying to a certain extent :)

heres some progress of the head
30 mins work

[mrmark]

ears are done
let me know what you think

[mrmark]

smoothed version
this picture reveals the need for some tweaking

[Delapouite]

Is your eXtreme sport inspired by "Blood Ball" the famous game of GameWorkshop ?:rolleyes:

[Cyrix]

hmmm - nice goblin ... think the ear is to broad it should look like spocks (the vulkanier :surprised ) ears and maybe not sooo big - but thats my opinion ....

which modelling-software do u use? and what modelling-method ... i think boxmodelling right?! :buttrock:

[mrmark]

P.Delapouite im afraid its not inspired by the games workshop game but i think i have some dustygoblin minitures somewhere that would be good for reference! thanks!

Cyrix hey thanks ! ill leave the ears til the rest is done, hopefully they will fit the final head, but if they seem out of place i will most definately take your thoughts into my computer :). im using 3dsmax 3.1 and box modelling

heres the latest progress on the goblin with smoothing groups but no meshsmooth

[mrmark]

and the same image with light photoshopping

[mrmark]

some progress
nose needs creation still
let me know what you think

[mrmark]

:beer: another perspective

[Iguiniz.X.]

H mark,
that looks great man.
aint that pic were you only c eyes and some ingrs a guy from Lord of the Rings
....what washis name again.....helll I can´t remember
The guy who had the ring before ballings.
well then I have some crit,<
I know tjere are loads of different eyes in the world, bust still I think you can improve your eye´s a lot as soon as I get a scanner near me I make a drawing and explain more.
well further good going and I hope you will finish this 1:surprised

[mrmark]

ill give my goblin a nose as soon as the downstairs computer decides to turn on!!! argh

and a reply to Xavier

[mrmark]

finally!! the computer was dead so we fixed it and now im back in action

heres 15 minutes worth of nose job

[mrmark]

heres a pic with the mouth closed strangely

[WarpedMinds]

reminds me of yoda to some extent hehe

gj bro :applause:

[Mangled Poly]

Still hard to tell what it is with only a head :(

[mrmark]

hey thanks warpedminds
im at school now but when i get home ill do some more work on it

[mrmark]

did some work on the eye section
tell me what you think

[Delapouite]

Right way for the eye, now it's really better with this smooth !

[erilaz]

Head is starting to look great. The iris is quite nice! Can't wait to see the two halves joined together!

[mrmark]

thanks erilaz and P.Delapouite!!!
here you are, two sides nicely strung together:beer:

[mrmark]

need crits on the mouth desperately!!!
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[gwelty]

maybe make the top lip a little fatter in the middle......

[mrmark]

start of texture work
about 20 mins

[Delapouite]

AAAArrrrggghhhh !!!!:hmm: The smooth ! Where is it ? Did you lose it since your last pics ?

[BrainFaucet]

Cool Goblin! What's the sport? kick the Goblin head?:p

[mrmark]

hehe fear not
the smoothness is still omnipresent

i spose i better give some more hints

-heads can be involved in this sport-
-visually impressive motions-

[mrmark]

another useless pic to raise my spot on the front page

[monotypic]

hehehe.. we all do it... shameless self promotion

[Cyrix]

yeahhh nice development i c ...... please showme the ears :rolleyes: think u didn't changed them - right?! ;) ......
maybe u can show me the wire - without meshsmooth?! think it's a good work u did ..........

[Delapouite]

Yeah ! Cool green! Next stage, bump mapping to make a beautiful "ugly" ;) orc !!

[mrmark]

diffuse texture final!

next comes the bump map!

i will post ears in a moment cyrix

[mrmark]

ear for cyrix

[mrmark]

and some meshed potatoes

[mrmark]

bump done:wip:

(EDIT: i rendered a movie of the head spinning around[you may even say that it is HEADSPINNING!!... but its too large to upload to my site)

[dodo3d]

I like ur characetr exepration
Good work ,keep going

[Aearon]

cool model you have there man :thumbsup:

what should be tweaked a little is those textures, the green is a lot too saturated imo, or maybe it's just the tone of the color

or maybe it's just me, it looks off to me though :rolleyes:

[mrmark]

expression test

ill play around with the textures a bit fist

then post it later tonite

this serves as a specualrity test too

[mrmark]

saturation test

[Virtuoso]

Coming along real nice mrmark............The last test really is a nice improvement. The saturation test passed with flying colors.................Fist was right with his comments I thought, but all looks much better now............looks alot like a mix of Golem and Yoda's Brother, inbetween there somewhere.........which is a very good thing............:beer: :)

[mrmark]

hey thanks heaps Virtuoso! when are you going to enter a challlenge!! coz if you make your avatars then you are a very talented individual!!

SPECIAL THANKS TO FIST FOR BEING A GOOD BLOKE!!

here is a bit of progress
nothing exceptional

just the start of a jumper which will have a hood

hint: think along the lines of nike, fubu, adidas and so on

:beer:

[erilaz]

Oooooh! I like everything here, except for those forehead creases. They look a bit too painted or something, not sure how to put it.

Really nice work!:D

[Cyrix]

ughhh - wonderful ear! and nice mesh ...... but now the bump .... hmmm - i think there must be more thin lines and no 2 big - u know? - you should make a bump with many, many wrinkles ...... ähmmmm ...... like this ---> http://www.source.at/beetles/afrika/img/falten.jpg ..... 'kay not like this face but i hope u know what i mean .......

ähhmm and then the green - maybe you should the skin with more spots ...... a noise-ma pr something like that ... because i don't really think that a goblin will wash his head ;)

so u know - thats no critic that r all points which i would change :p

[mrmark]

update:

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!! AHH relaxation

heres a couple of layout pictures, just quick piccys showing ideas

and hints~!!

[mrmark]

number two:

[mrmark]

here is progress of body modelling
any help is appreciated and encouraged coz i suck:wavey:

[rizob]

looks like caporia (i dont know how to spell it) keep tweakin those virts, and im feelin you on those school holidays.

[mrmark]

rizob capoeira is pretty much the brother of this sport!! so very warm now!

heres a hint, i went to this club in the city with my friends last night, gas (the spot or something) and there was lots of this sport there!

thanks
heres a useless pic

[erilaz]

I'm guessing breakdancing perhaps? Dangerously, with fire and blades and ferrets?:D

[mrmark]

smack bang! CORRECT!!

YOU WIN THE PRIZE ERILAZ !!
dont know what the prize is
but ill think of something hehe

cheers:beer:

[mrmark]

body progress:

let me know what you think

[mrmark]

2... crap render haha:shame:

[mrmark]

back progress

[mrmark]

i need some good clavicle reference can anyone help me out?

[erilaz]

Have you been here?

http://www.fineart.sk/

Check out the clavicle stuff under the loomis project and others.

[Iguiniz.X.]

I think the right one is the best, but I advise you to put the legs on the torso aswell as the arms, this way there are more things to crit and then we can crit you on the overall..
Don't expect that it will be perfect in once and you also have to keep the goal in mind . 10 days to go....
I think your doing really well so get the body done and then we crit you.

Get going...:buttrock:

[mrmark]

hey thanks erilaz yep i visit the site a fair bit but i never looked in the loomis section! thanks found 2 good piccys from the henry gray book thanks again

hey xavier how r u doing? im gonna work my arse off dont you worry!

[mrmark]

how are these length proportions? (n.b: they dont include appendages ie hands and feet)

[Grosserfrosch]

maybe scale the head down or the body up just a bit. The proportions look just a tad off.

[mrmark]

heres what speedy looked like before i went out last night

[mrmark]

arm progress
not much done
but still give me some pointers on muscle structure
i have collected some lovely reference though!

[mrmark]

more

[mrmark]

more once again

[mrmark]

started hands
changed size of arms
better now
will do hands, feet then work on arms and legs and neck
coz those sections all join to external objects

[mrmark]

number 2

[mrmark]

handprogress

[levin]

:lightbulb
is he going to be hunched? most goblins are hunched and actually have long limbs but their stature makes their arms look long drag on the floor, so you may want to check on your proportions.!

good luck!

[mrmark]

he wont be hunched
he will be as well postured as a sissy english school boy haha

[mrmark]

leg progress,
crits are welcome - but at the moment i really just want to finish!
for once!!:wip: :wip: :bounce:

[mrmark]

heres where i am
its all together
going to pose later on

[mrmark]

annyyyonnnee alivivvee outtt theerree??

[Iguiniz.X.]

better late then never,

I looked at your body and here are two things which I found dusturbing in the moddel.
the neck is ok but the bones that go from shoulderblades to mid chest are are a bit low and I think ou can define them more ( show them better.
second the legsare way to short they look goodbut the upper leg is longer. I made the things I nted in photoshop so you can see what I mean.

Your compostition of the last pic is good only a bit weard skin deforming in his X.
It is looking really good and I must say you ar inproving good and

Give us the last compo shot soon cos time is running out.

Cheers

Xavier

[mrmark]

hey thanks for the crit xavier:beer:
i dont have time to implement the changes but i will definately follow your advice in my future models

i rendered final last night but it looked strange sum meshsmooth thing was being a nuisance.
i tried to post this pic earlier but it keeps telling me i have already posted it????

i will post final render (which is baking now) when it is done

i wish i had more time to work on this, coz i am too slow!!

[mrmark]

pooey render not final render

[mrmark]

here is the final render, complete with unwanted weirdness around neck of foreground goblin and pectoral area.....
http://mrmark.netfirms.com/finally%20final.jpg
