dude....that guy looks awesome!! Cant wait till u model this one.

[Hickory]

Thanks. As soon as I can get my scanner working again, I should have a few more concepts up. But thank you very much. :)

[Hickory]

Here he is...Crogan....

Felt that he would feel better as a big guy who likes to throw his weight around in a game rather than the wolf type character I initially started with. As for the rabbit...any good Twisted extreme sport is going to have a rabbit carrying a rocket launcher on his back...er...maybe...

This is kinda finalized character design...Crogan's his name...greatest player to ever grace the sport...maybe...

Crits? Suggestions? Free beer?

it's good that you've given your character some background, it makes it easier to see what you're thinking.

Your concept work is first-class, so I can't really crit it at all right now. I'll be back though. Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

[Hickory]

Well do to a strike among the players of my Extreme Sport, work has been delayed. A small aggreement was reached with a few players, so work can resume, but slowly. Here is some progress.

Money issues have kept me from spending the time I would like, but hopefully things will improve.

Here is about an hour of work on what will be a head hopefully.

i have no idea what the hell sport this is, but im sure its gonna rock!:buttrock:

[Hickory]

He has eyes at least...more progress soon, hopefully another tonight.

[Hickory]

yoink...

[erilaz]

Nice rubbery look to that face! Looks appropriately nasty.:D

[levin]

cool concept art man.

i'm curious about your modeling style... looks like a squishy ball of clay.. what do you use? is that sub-D or nurbs?

anyway the result is outstanding, can we see the control splines?

[rizob]

welcome to the comp, nice concepts and a good start on moddling, ill drop some crits when you get some more finished,just wanted to say keep up the sick style

[Hickory]

I use all Sub D/Poly. I start from a cube and immediately split it down the middle. I then just start pulling and pushing verts until I need more detail...then back to the split polygon tool. I usually do most of the really detailed tweaks in Sub D mode...I haven't done any on this one yet. Usually to get the wrinkles and lip areas really nice and detailed. Some days I make a whole hell of a lot of progress. I have done whole characters with lots of detail in around 4 hours. Sometimes it will take me weeks to get just the head done...I just don't have time right now to really sit down and work...As soon as the nose is finished, I will light him and post some renders...thanks for the interest and crits...

Hey there Hickory2.5, Welcome aboard :thumbsup:

Great work so far, I love your concept sketches. I am really looking forward to seeing you progress.


I'll be back to crit when there is more, but I am sure it's going to be awesome.



:wavey:

A polygon post...

[Hickory]

What ya think???

[Benno]

I like him, good and expressive. You'll have to put on a spurt to beat the deadline though!

[Hickory]

I still got a few days :)

[Hickory]

firmp...

[erilaz]

I'm really loving this character. Great expression, and a very cool body mass! :D

I'm thinking maybe too much wrinkle in the top of the nose though.

[Hickory]

Thanks....I am actually going to increase the wrinkles over the enitre face to match his nose area. I want him to look beat up...he should...he should look beat to hell...especially because of the sport. I am off to day so I should be able to get a lot done...more post soon.

[Hickory]

Somebody...

[Hickory]

Concept of the platform which is key to the sport. I know that it kinda looks like the people on board are on fire and in pain, but thats not whats going on. They are cheering:) People in this universe look like they are on fire when they cheer....hehehe...sorry...

[Hickory]

I think I can...I think I can...

I still got some out fit type stuff and a thumb, to add...

[Hickory]

Mas..some outfit type stuff...there is a harness being shaped over the body, much like a paratroopers...

[Erik]

i like the modelling, good job, and the idea them to be good too ;)

[OZ]

AMAZING! one of the best concept and modeling!Go ON!Give Us MooOOOOre!

[Hickory]

A picture from Crogan's tour of Europe. Here he is in some random European city...we think Germany...He seems to be stretching for a second...er anyway..more soon.

[erilaz]

Love the lighting and the meshing stuff on the torso Hickory2.5!:thumbsup:

[Hickory]

Thanks...everything is done in Maya...

[rayz]

yeah the mesh looks really nice!!!!.......... :beer: :beer:

[Hickory]

Finished the hand...now I am just hoping I can finish the challenge...

[Hickory]

Well, work defeated me. Lack of time or lack of interest in taking the time needed...not sure what kills things first.

Well my sport was Free-fall sky-plundging.

Contestants are separated into various weight classes. The more you weigh, the higher you plundge from. Imagine a tower set up like the one used for diving in the Olympics. Some arenas have those cool repulorlift style platforms like my concept. Anyway. The rules are below.

64 contestants. 4 rounds or dives per contestant. Scores are totalled and the top 8 contestants move on to the next round. Contestants are limited to no more than 100 additional pounds of gear above the naked body weight. Type of gear is unrestricted, except nothing can be volatile or explosive.


Qualifier to the next round or dive is determined by if you survive the fall.

Contestants are judged on the difficulty of the dive and the size of the impact crater.

The guy I was modeling was named Crogan and he was the Grannd Champion of the sport.

Thats my story and I am sticking to it. Thanks to everyone who commented. I would love some critiques now if anyone has anything to add.

Later,
Hickory2.5
