[TheFirstAngel]

Hey piggy#1!

[MattGyver]

Cool. The concept kind of reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe's Telltale Heart, which has always been one of my favorite stories. I'm going to enjoy watching this one evolve. :thumbsup:

[flyingP]

got a start on the old guy ... nothing like a little oxygen deprivation to ruin your day

[TheFirstAngel]

... glad to see you survived those non-payin bastards
"the return of the 1st_angel" was as predictable as any other sequel, since i am stuborn and totally cg-talk addicted :P

go piggy go!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

your model is very very cool! looks like he really has his "last momnets" top go through

[pigwater]

1st angel :thumbsup: ... the only way in this world... ya gotta be a little stubborn to survive ...

[dmonk]

Sweet Modeling so far and I really like the idea behind your entry. Completetly different way to approach the subject.subscribed:thumbsup:

[Lemog]

HoneyPiggy... you work so hard yet... another one fine concept... I love the pose of the old dude... his mask was very effective to follow easily his mounth... good material... and best luck to you mate :thumbsup:

[Larsen]

dark ideas as i love them :)

Cool concept i'll follow this one man

[Reinier]

Very refreshing concept and that expression is wicked :D... keep it up.

~ Reinier

[pigwater]

[[ dmonk ]] ... thanks, i appreciate it ... karma comes back to him or is it just some twisted maid ?? ..... hmmmm .. now you got me wondering

[[ lemog ]] such nice words .. thanks for the wish of good luck , so many skilled artists like you here .. it will be fun

[[ cipher & ranier ]] :thumbsup:

rule #6 has been playing on my mind

Any imaging deemed to contain content that depicts explicit acts that are overtly violent, sexual, cruel or brutal will be disqualified.

so while i have been working on this i have been thinking of an alternate piece .... sketch is coming next

something on the lighter side

[Larsen]

Really lighter than the other one... Personnaly i prefer the first... you should ask to the mods if this one can be accepted...although it's cruel, it's a very interesting idea...:shrug:

[eddieellis]

awsome model so far mate, diffinatly got a great glare going on

[eYadNesS]

Ohhhhhhh, I can't believe, pigwater is here :) :) Long time no see man.. :buttrock:

I liked what you did, hope to see more..
OF course, I will watch you always :D

Good luck

[Reinier]

Yeah i prefered your first idea also... dont think its going to give you any trouble, but you can always ask a mod.

~ Reinier

[pigwater]

thnax guys ... good idea ... i'll check with a mod :thumbsup:

[TheFirstAngel]

i definately prefer the old one. to bring up some more kick an idea would be to have a really spoiled kid telling the man HOW to do that. but anyways, just found a dark way to deal with that topic :D

http://www.angel3d.ch/content/3d/wip/masterandservant/xtra/betw01sml.jpg
maybe give you an input to put a bit more byte into your second concept? keep it up mate!

[pigwater]

ooooh :eek: ... good one :thumbsup:

[SheepFactory]

I definitely dig the firt one , yes its uncommon but thats what makes it great , its all up to you how to portray that , it can be funny or sad.

best of luck with what you choose :)

*subscribed

[Virtuoso]

Hi there pigwater..........way too long no see.Hope it's all running smoothly for you.

real nice concept and execution thus far,really hope to see you get this finished.It's got the emotional package all set in stone........Best to you and good luck to you......:arteest:

By the way thats a great extra something,something Angel provided for you if you descide to take the second concept route........Ok cheers gehry.....:beer:

[AIR]

I see U have same trouble I did,actually I got in It headless.I like both ideas,'s up to you to take the direction,wright.And in the end U still have time for the third and the luckiest.
Hope that my computer wont break in any way,let me knock three times. :banghead:

If anybody knows Is ok to use some older models from personal 3D library,But modified and altered for this challenge,let me know,in PVT or in my thread.THX.

got in a little z-time on this guy ..

-------

[[ Shep Factory, Virtuuoso, AIR ]] ... thanks for the words ... going with the first for now ... i guess it all boils down to how sadistic i make the servant :)

[Reinier]

That looks damn nice... very haunting look. This is going to look very good when finished!

keep the good work coming.

~ reinier

[Lemog]

Arghhhh... I say and he say... :thumbsup:

[Larsen]

Is it dying or is it already dead ? :D

His face is really scary, can't wait to see textures :)

[TheFirstAngel]

Kewl update, Gehry! no crits on this, is simply cool. keep it up!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Ravendsg]

Hey pigwater dude! Great piece of work and model you have there. Makes me feels suffocated just looking at him heheh. Great expression and modelling from you dude! More more more!!! :buttrock:

[pigwater]

[[ reiner ]].. thanx, do you have bamboo in the netherlands??

[[ lemog ]] ... arghhh is about right ..

[[ cipher ]] ... almost dying, i want him on his last days of life all crusty and stuff .. i'll hit the "make cool textures" button sometime soon

[[ 1st angel ]] .. thanks, always appreciate your input

[[ raendsg ]] thanks, little by little it's getting there

[debaser]

great concepts!
i like the details on your latest model.

[Reinier]

[[ reiner ]].. thanx, do you have bamboo in the netherlands??

Bah no... thats a shame. I grow some in the garden but those are the smaller types. Not the bigger ones you see in china. :P... In china they got whole WOODS filled with BAM!BOO! :drool:

... sorry about that.

~ rnr

[smaddl]

unfortunate old guy. imagining that situation i think his whole body should be tensed. great head :thumbsup:

[SaintT]

If the picture will be as powerful as the man's face, you stand a fair chance to win the challenge.
Good luck!:bounce:

[pigwater]

** ninothe ** thanx

** reinier ** yah, i was thinkin it's too cold for bamboo there ... you could always start a bamboo farm (??) ... nah, takes forever :shrug:

** smaddl ** thanx, yah, i'm working on that ... he's gonna be whiteknuckled, all clenched up :D

** saintT ** nice thought but not betting on it ... too many wicked skilz in this thing .. but thanx

a little face paint for the old guy

[flyingP]

is kinda reminiscent of me before I have my morning coffee :scream: :D

[pigwater]

hey flyinP ... lol ... does kinda look like he's yawning .... :wise:


he's got that kinda pig-flesh thing going also .... i think i need to do a cavity shader on it and also bring out the blood vessels a bit though i think ... so away i go :arteest:

[JamesMK]

Very nifty! It's like 'Scream' meets 'Night of the living dead' somehow :D

[pigwater]

hey mr. jmk, .. don't tell anyone , but it is i who has the "scream painting" .. needed it for ref material on this

[JamesMK]

hey mr. jmk, .. don't tell anyone , but it is i who has the "scream painting" .. needed it for ref material on this
Don't worry, your secret is safe with me and anyone who might accidently stumble upon this thread....

[3dRaven]

Wow lookin nice....can't wait to see fear in his eyes (when he gets a pair that is :)). Nice job on the texturing...Old people are rather pale and have uneven skin color (blothes, spots). He seems a bit on the brown side at the moment...or is he meant to?

[Atwooki]

Quoted by JamesMK:
It's like 'Scream' meets 'Night of the living dead' somehow :D

Exactly my thoughts; but.....you got there first :rolleyes: the 'Screaming at my Feet Pose'

Looking good, pig ;) I know there will be some great modeling to follow here - can't wait for more, and good to see you here :)

blotchy old guy ...

[pigwater]

wabbit ... cool, knew you could keep a secret

3draven ..... :thumbsup: ...good eye, thanx ... part of the darkness is the material is z-bruzh ... i'm not using that later so it does come off dark here ...

atwooki ... just some pig slop ... slopiping it's way into this thread :argh:

[Lemog]

Old you said ??? a bit more I think... hahahaha :thumbsup: good work mate ! I'ma waiting impatiently to see what will be inside... :buttrock:

[TheFirstAngel]

for this work i give you :scream: :scream: :scream: :scream: :scream:

[ibexion]

looks wicked to me ...awesome texture.

[Tremoside]

Ironic and cool! Powered by excellent modeling knowledge. Deadly combinations!

Good to see you're turned it to texturing stage.

[MattGyver]

Okay, dude? Your old guy's seriously starting to freak me out. I LOVE IT! :bounce:

[pigwater]

lemog ...:) .. older than old ... were talking "pushin up daisies " \

1st angel ... thanks a ton , but what is 3/4 over the jordan .. i'm lost onthis saying .. i'll take it it means OLD ...lol ... thanks for the screams to .. more ref material for me :thumbsup:

ibexion .. a big thanx

tremoside ... thanx .. your to nice ( but i liked it ) ... been enjoying you stuff too

a test render ... more subdued than the electric z version

[safe05]

Wow, what I great pose/model! Nice fuzzy hair too. Something about that strap is bugging me, though. Can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it needs some bump...Anyway, really digging your stuff. :thumbsup:

[Brent_3D]

Very timely piece of work. Look forward to seeing more.

[Canche]

Man i whish i had modeling skills like yours. The dude is really cool and creepy i like it very much. i put your thread on my favorites so i can see your progress.
good luck!

[eug55]

nice expression on his face - really love it

[ibexion]

thats so cool...tell us about your wrinkles/viens/tex

[Lemog]

Fantasti mate, so impressive... juts one remark, the pupil seems not to have enough polygons...

god job Gehry :thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Ha, that fuzzy hair suits him perfectly :thumbsup:

[Neeno]

great work so far man.. cant see anything to crit on.. great concept dude...great modeling and texturing so far.. great stuff keep it up./.and the expression i might add on his face man that guy looks like he really need some help....!!LoL *PULL THE PLUG*!!

[blackdragoncg]

Awesome work! :thumbsup: Very funny LoL...... Some of us will make it to that point in life some day and will probably remember this!!! Dunno if it will be that funny anymore but hey gotta love that oxygen...

[DaddyMack]

Aaah greetings pigsy, Awesome use of everything there man:thumbsup:
I think the more wrinkles you can fit on that face, the better.
You'll also get more impact on the mouth pose if you raise the transparency on the oxymask a bit more.
I really like the overhangs on his eyelids, I think they make the face.

Stay bent good sir;)

opps ding! just saw the news...Brent_3D, i geddit...

[Larsen]

Excellent now with the textures, you got a great expression there ! :thumbsup:

[arLutiK]

Wow really cool modeling. :thumbsup:

[Miezis]

dude! thats simply scary!

[pigwater]

safe05 ... i agree , right now it's untextured .. or maybe cause it's bent a little
Brent-3d ... i really didn't mean to ( i think )
lemog ... yah, got go in there and cut it once or twice, kinda flowery right now
wabbit ... it's bunny hair :scream:
Neeno ... the plugs gettin pulled on HIM :twisted:
DaddyMack ... i'll try the mask suggestion , thanks
Canche, eug55, blackdragoncg, cipher, arlutik, Meizis .. really appreciate it , thanx

ibexion ... as far wrinkles and veins , it was a slow build-up in z-bush .. work at lower settings and big shapes first .. then go higher and into fine detail ... veins were last with the layer brush ... you can always undo or smooth what you don't like

as far as texture ... heres is a pic ... random skin tones (red and green) ... a scattered brush with random sizes

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/skins.jpg

[dmonk]

Really nice work on the old guy!

Maybe you shoudl go for a lighter skin tone sinces he is old and sickly.

[pigwater]

hey dmonk how ya doing tonight ?? .. hmmmmm ... he probably could go paler .. i didn't want to get into this white though

http://www.tlcbasebal.com/images/Sith_Lords.jpg

i'll keep it in my mind and see how the image looks when i get more elements around ... thanx

[nebezial]

real convincing image... shivers... great work man:eek:

[theuni]

... paler is a good idea make him just one step away from death and maybe put some condensation into the mask... his last breath :thumbsup:

[Squibbit]

great work as usual, pigwater :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Ahhh.... this is just so good! Can't say any crits at all, looking forward to the rest! :thumbsup:

[tilite]

marvelous

just want to see more... no crits

[Atwooki]

Alright, pig - Now I know..... I's: Johnny Rotten's emphysemic grandad :D j/k

Cool ZBing my friend, and lovely veining coming out there :)

[kru]

[Ravendsg]

Great job dude!! :applause:
I really enjoy the look on his face hehehe. Some suggestions(if you don't mind :) ) : more visible veins on his eyes? and For the eye, maybe can lighting the colors around the dark of the pupils so we can see the dark dilate or something... (sorry, but hope you get what i mean, i'm not too sure how to say it, or even if what i said is correct. Its dilate right? :shrug: ) Still getting on really great!! :buttrock:

[pigwater]

atwooki .. :thumbsup: .. thanks a ton ... for my next character i needed a girl .. i haven't really done one before, so i used your latest girl wire for a basis ... at least it helped as i fished my way around ... so double thanx for the help ... need to change some things still ... but it came out o.k.
flyinP ... and i thought i had rough mornings :D ... good to see ya as always ...

[eddieellis]

nice work dude.... looking forward to seeing more

[emonimo]

Hey Gehry! nice modelling here ..... I like a lot the expresions of your characters .... my only crit is that the articulations of the girl could be more pronunciated ... I dont know if I'm expressing well the idea ...
Anyway I think your making a great job here .... I'll come to see more ...
Good luck!!

[mmoir]

Pigwater,

I really like the characters you have modeled so far. Great job, the old guy is marvellous. Good luck with this.

[arLutiK]

Cool style you got there, great work.

[pigwater]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6107/6107_1112865787_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6107/6107_1112865787_large.jpg)

another concept . good & evil premise .. in spite of her condition she is good - he is evil

---------

i'm still not sold on my first concept and have been tossin stuff around ... the girl above was created durin these fishing trips and wasn't designed for the first concept ...

i'll decide on somethin soon .. (maybe)

[tilite]

seems its only a concept i wont nit pick on the models.. they are excellent just for a concept... although when are u going to pick something. im very keen on following ur work but there needs to be something to follow... alot of time has already past.

tilite.... awaiting keenly:thumbsup:

[safe05]

Nice models! The woman has a nice peaceful, et sympathetic look to her. I personally like your original concept the best. Keep up the good work!

[BlackDidThis]

I don't understand why you are leaving the first concept aside? As good as your modelings are for the last. I think there has been an efficent enough GoodvsEvil type stuff.
The end choice is completely up to you ofcourse. IT's just I liked the first idea and had hoped to see more of it.

Would it be an option to sort of integrate them to each other? Like lets say you have that 'bad guy' sort of pulling her threads to abuse the power she holds over the old man.


Just a thought.
Your modeling is outstanding and I would like to see where you take it to from here.


Black

[rattlesnake]

hey mate im happy to see you here...i think the expression of the man on the left is very nice...hes got personality...good job man...ill be following your job!

[TheFirstAngel]

Just wanted to soil a piggy to run Gehry run!!! to help to decide, print all possible concepts out, get some tape and put em on the wall, go get some dartarrows close your eyes and shoot wild around... uhm.... let the last part away. maybe take a day off. go meet some friends go for a beer. come back with a refreshed brain... your sideconcepts rock, and whatever you deciede to, i bet it will be a great choice.
keep it up mate!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[pigwater]

sasha, rattlesnake & all the rest .. :) ... thanx ...

the problem i was having was that in my mind ( and how it was headed) was that the servant/maid was killing the old guy ... with a dark subtle creepy mood .. but i don't think that is good for here in this challenge ..

so i took some time, tossed around 4-5 ideas and then steppd away ... i got it now ... i'm gonna do a variation of the first ...

---------------------------
so ... my concept is

LOOK BELOW :)

---------------------------

spent today looking at textures, some light modelling and working things out ... i'll have a post sometime soon :thumbsup:

decided to take the lighter side of things ...
lord farley is a heavy sleeper .. while asleep the servants have a little fun

still WIP'n on this guy ... threw it up here for general purposes

[Larsen]

Haha, this last concept looks funny and the modeling is very good, i must admit i prefer this head than the previous old sick man...lot more expressiv !

Well i'd prefer seeing this one evolve as the idea is comic but it's up to you to decide... good luck for the next :)

[pigwater]

thanx cipher .. yah i'm gonna stick with this one ... the first guy i just wanted to kill for some reason :shrug: ... i like this one , plus i don't have time to change my mind again :D

glad ya like

[Tremoside]

pigwater, these chars. are simply superious. Those lips on both. Excellent! Maybe his ears are bit small but it's just depends on taste. Keep it up and rock on!!:buttrock:

another angle of the fat guy

tremoside .. thanx for the compliments AND the ear comment .. looked at it and you were right .. lifted em up and made em a touch bigger ... :thumbsup: .... thanx

[atra]

Yep, I've seen this some days ago and I really like both men.
Specially this poor old man on the bed.

I also like the concept. Like in the movie.
Will keep looking for "making-of" article.

This ofat guy scares me :)

Good work

[flyingP]

Oh damn has it been that long since I have been in here :argh:

that is hilarious pig bro :applause:

[suk-grigorij]

Cool, mate! Great modelling. But, hey, when the servant holds the power he's not servant anymore. Don't you think so?

I'll keep an eye on this thread.
Good luck

[arLutiK]

Wow man, that is awesome modeling, great work

[Virtuoso]

Changing gears......?Got to go with your gut ......This will be a humorous scene........Fun concept.the modeling is off to a real nice start.As expected........This guy can be real expressive,you left a lot of room for this.....already is,any plans for face morphs....?

......Ok Pigwater set sail for another course,and while I liked your first I still think this has still more potential.......Off you go now,create some more.....real nice start Pigwater.....See you as you progress....:arteest:

[TheFirstAngel]

hahahaha, piggy rox again! love that update. keep it up mate! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[safe05]

Looking good, pigwater! Really like the modeling job and new concept. Bump seems a little high to me, but overall excellent work. :thumbsup:

[Versiden]

excellent modelling.. I love the way you've modelled the lips, very good work here.

[Ducklips]

Hey, great job. I grew up a big fan of Todd McFarlane because he could always utilize exaduration and expression while still keeping a lively human feel. Yours certainly does that and you have your own style.

I must say I like the bigger guy better, but they are both great.

Keep up the good work and thanks for visiting my post!

Good luck Pig!

[Atwooki]

All coming together a treat, pig :thumbsup:

Composition's looking tight, and Farley's sheet modelling is looking superb - 'course, I won't flatter you too much if you simply set about dropping' a piece of 'Syflex' cloth or whatever down on top of him, instead of modelling each and every fold :D

From before:
atwooki .. :thumbsup: .. thanks a ton ... for my next character i needed a girl .. i haven't really done one before, so i used your latest girl wire for a basis ... at least it helped as i fished my way around ... so double thanx for the help ... need to change some things still ... but it came out o.k.
Invoice is on it's way......

[AIR]

I just refreshed my memory on your project,,just fantastic,I'd love to see an cg movie
or sitcom with theese characters arround,,,maybe we will ,what do you think.....

[Atwooki]

She's looking just great,gehry:) amazing dips under the cheek bones there, but watch out for those outer upper eyelids though....:wise: Cuteeee!
just call me grasshopper, o master

alright then; grasshopper it is :D

Chris

[dmonk]

I love that nurse lady! Only thing I see is her arm looks a bit funny some how.

Good character though.

[blakbird]

You are very good in face modeling. Shocking details. I loved the concept too. This piece is one of my favourites from now on
(I am fed up with demons and demonlike creepy scenes, blood etc. I dont want to see such artworks anymore)

[smaddl]

amazing progress. loved your strangled character ( curious why you changed your mind) and find the final concept very amusing. great idea and great characters :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Hey Gehry, now, you know where to send me pickles... always funny Pigwater... continue like that :thumbsup:

[rattlesnake]

yes this is looking nice...i know u still working on it...i just have a little advice...i think the cloth on her... should look more relaxed...afected by gravity...but i know maybe youre working on that already...
nice update friend...l

[pigwater]

o(ne) thanx
Dimitri glad ya like ... bubble back at yah :bounce:
AIR after i read your post my mind races for hours .. love the idea ... but, i don't think i have the time or the drive to do it .. mabye in the future ... but thanx
Atwooki yah .. i really haven't figured out the topology for those suckers .. right now i just kinda fold and squish the wires into place .. not the best for sure
dmonk thanx .. reworked it ... actually both arms got a do-over
kuzgunoglu first .. how the heck you say your name ?? .. second - thanx ... third .. like you anti -demon stand there :thumbsup:
smaddl well .. basically the maid was gonna be killing the old-guy .. i just thought there might be a problem with the final image being that ... excess violence whatever thing that is in the rules , so i went this way .. and also this started pulling me more than the other .. but thanx for the words
Lemog pickles are on the way :thumbsup:
Rattlesnake great new avatar ( if i haven't mentioned it already ) .. i had z'ed the dress but i didn't have the map on when i did this render ... you got a good point and i'll look at that again .. cause i can see how i might have it to stiff :thumbsup: thanx

Looking nice job here...coming very good job. for sure!!...I like the concept and the model..

Alex.

[blakbird]

Hey Gehry
I said I fed up with demons but your butler is another demon. Aaaargh, deeemooons, demons everywhere. Get off BANG! Take this. RAT TAT TAT ! TSSSssssss.....(silence).

What do you think about the end? Will master wake up? Will he be angry? OR frighten (because of the butler) :)
Or have a heartattack and die?
Maybe servants die after a ruined bad joke disaster.
All the answers in the next episode (if there will be any)

Your artwork excellent man. I think I will give one vote for you. !!

PS: My nick can be spelled as (Kuz-ghun-og-lhu). Or you may just use "Kuzgun".
It means "raven". Previous long one means "ravenson"

[pigwater]

thanks everyone.. i appreciate the kind comments

---------

AIR .. svinjska vodica ?? .. i like it

tremoside .. he reminds me of donkey ...lol

kuzgunoglu ... the ending has to have a twist of course .. so many possibilities :)

This is awesome.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
good luck.

[Virtuoso]

Real nice Pigwater.......This is shaping up just as nice as I would have expected from you......perhaps as a practical joke.a wild and real aggressive one........the servants could have placed a severed head of a horse under the sheets......just peeking out........"Godfather" Style.......;)

......I'll be watching for more,so keep bringing it.....you got lots of promise with this,and thus far are coming up real well with it.....Keep it coming gehry.........I'll be watching....:arteest:

[AIR]

Hi pigwater,nice to see you made update.you could try hanging his brests more a side,,
like theyr hanging bit,,and not to look so firm and tight...
other than that,,and bellybutton is great,in equality with other characters,, :thumbsup:

[atra]

Hey pigwater, this looks great! :bounce:

Yep, AIR is right with the breasts.... just move them a bit apart.

I love how you made the sides of the body. He really has that hanging fat and the arms look fabulous !

Come on, give some more pictures :)

[blakbird]

Gehry your sleeping rich man's eyes were so in harmony with the latter of the face, plus giving the relaxation feeling of being strong (in the matter of monetary power).
Man, even those eyelids were telling a story alone!
I know that your first concept drawing include that night mask or shading goggles (whatever is it) but is there any chance to keep the eyes apparent? By any way. Maybe a slided mask ha?
Or ummm... he might be put them over his forehead just before the sleeping.
What do you think?

[3dRaven]

Man thats a kodak moment. The masters lookin great. I'd add a bit more reflection on the sunglasses

[arLutiK]

Hi Gerhy

Always happy to see your progress, very nice job on the covers, modeling or physic?

And don't you think his bellybutton is to pig

Otherwise great work like always.

[pigwater]

hey all ... i have some other deadlines i'm working on so nothin for ya yet ... sometime soon though

-------------------

xric7 .. thanx ... appreciate the words
VIRT ... a little Corlion action huh ?? .. well i got a few ideas in mind that i kinda like .. nothing bloody though, these are just some good ol' house-help folks letting off some steam ... thanx for the thoughts though
AIR, atra .. so yah thinkk he needs some MAN BOOBS huh??? ... hmmmmm .. i think we can do that :)
kuzgunoglu ... awfully nice of you to say... actually i do have something planned that will take care of that very issue .. stay tuned and thanks again :thumbsup:
3draven .. thanx ... the sunglasses are actually a sleeping mask and that texture was temp in that shot ... revised mask coming soon :thumbsup:
artulik ... the covers were 90% physics ... and the belly-button as it is is way to big for a normal bellybutton, but this guy has a bellybutton that will make his countrymen proud .. you'll see

---------

thanks again all, have somethin for ya soon

[cjewell]

Ahahah...nice update! It's really starting to take shape..keep it up.

Hehe. Love the whip cream and cherry! :thumbsup: Nice work on the texturing. It particularly excels on the woman. The poor guy looks like he could use a little more coloration in his skin. Bumps look great, but the color seems a little too uniform. Keep up the great work! :bounce: btw, how did you handle the fro?

Okay, the whipped cream and rubber duck I get, but what are they going to do with the bowling ball? Wait. Don't answer that. I don't want to know. :scream: I have to admit that I wasn't liking this one as much as the first idea, but it's grown on me. :thumbsup:

ciao, gotta go, a render pop up :wip:

[Tremoside]

Memory...always these popups... but pillow "underbutt" is fine trick! Comfort for the final run!

Maybe one day coffee factories will give a new brand.. 3Dcoffe-in "ultrastong coffe for 3D artists"

Keep it up and have a long day...:)

[handlebar]

Great stuff Pigwater. That background is awesome. Everything looks set for a fantastic final image. http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon7.gifhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif
