Spectacular 3D Entry: Eddie Ellis

[Gunilla]

Anyway i decieded to drop the hands and crop the image, as i think it looked allitle cluttered and was alittle distracting to the overall theme. anyway added more goo for you and i hope you like.

Yep! :thumbsup:

I think this is a good desicion - now we don't have anything to steal focus from the cute baby :)
Goo looks good and the maggots are still ... yuck!

So, now all you have left is figuring out a background or what?

[(o)ne]

:argh: it's awfully spectacular :eek:
and maybe you could try to rotate camera clockwise a little?

[jddog]

I think this is a good desicion - now we don't have anything to steal focus from the cute baby :)
agree :wip:
jdd

[eddieellis]

Thanks guy,s... im really not sure about the background, i think any more people in the scene will clutter up the image which is why i got rid of the hands.

The problem is its an up shoot, so scenery will be tricky ?, i have to admit i like the fire effect i have going on at the moment, but it trying to find something to compliment that, which doesn't distract you from whats going on in the foreground.

:shrug:

Maybe ill do a man form the tax office with a clipboard in the background

[(o)ne]

maybe some dirty hell-hospital walls will fit background?

[Gunilla]

Good suggestion from Stapan I think - just enough detailed to set the scene.

And while you're thinking ... how about disgusting us with some close ups? I'd love to take a closer look at the goo and textures (me - kinky? naaah) :D

[soapy]

I agree with One maybe some distant walls or an demonic headboard froma bed would be nice? You can always use DOF to drop em back. cheers.

[Lemog]

I'm okay with hell/hospital idea... that will be the good idea for your environment... in white dirty style... hahaha... I already imagine that... :applause:

[CryingHorn]

Each time I see your image it gets sicker and sicker :D but I like that extremenees, good luck!

[eddieellis]

(o)ne : Hey mate, sounds like a good idea, i will see what i can do

Gunilla : hey mate, will try to render one off tonight for ya

soapy : will do

Lemog : lol, show me

Crying Horn : thanks man

[eddieellis]

hey guy's, rather than posting some close up images, here's a high res one for you to look at

www.ellipages.co.uk/wip/high1.jpg (http://www.ellipages.co.uk/wip/high1.jpg)

[Lemog]

Thanks for the wallpaper Eddie... really disgusting... I'm taking my breakfast actually :scream: hahaha

Show you... I don't have a pic of my vision... but If I can find something, I will post you... of course ! but it's not really easy in our real life to find a creepy place like that... :shrug:

[Gunilla]

Oh yeah - really disgusting :thumbsup:

I don't think I will use it as a wallpaper - that would effectively keep me from finishing :scream:

Thanks for the big render!

[eddieellis]

Lemog : No problem, mate, there are a few mistake on that render, as i applied the wrong texture to the eye's of the mother, but will fix and post again soon. Dont worrie about the pic i was only joking :bounce:

Gunilla : no problem my friend...

[mranimator]

Each time I see your image it gets sicker and sicker :D but I like that extremenees, good luck!
:D i will never enter here again

anywhy .... great work in texturing

[eddieellis]

thanks mate.... i think ?

[jddog]

I'm okay with hell/hospital idea... that will be the good idea for your environment... in white dirty style... hahaha... I already imagine that... :applause:
yeah me too... :argh: + :applause:
jdd

[JamesMK]

A true contender for the 'Ultimate gross Award'!

Have to hand it to you, Eddie, it really looks utterly disgusting, down to the last pixel :thumbsup:


.

[eddieellis]

jddog : yep i have to agree i think i'll give it a go at the weekend..

JamesMK : lol.... i am to please, but to be honest there was a time when this pic grossed me out alittle, but now im used to it. Im evan thinking is not gross enough, need to add some fungus somewhere

[beelow]

eddie, I just want that is really gross, you may need therapy:p Great stuff so far though Like the models and the texturing I do not seem to have a problem with good stuff!:thumbsup:

[velascodearmas]

are those maggots?

[eddieellis]

beelow : cheers man... ill go see a doctor

dvelasco : yer maggots, are you grossed out ?

[Gunilla]

Eddie - I've been looking at this again and actually I think you could very well do with the current background or similar - not placing them in a fixed environment but strenghten the expression with that screaming red could be very cool ... or should I say hot? :D

here ya go guy's, been working on this backdrop all day, and im kindda happy with it... im abit gutted as most my efforts have been hidden by the foreground, but will post layers later

[ihamid]

hiya eddieellis im happy to say im grossed out! :cool: ... the image is coming out very well !
cheers !

[eddieellis]

just a quick change... so what do you guys think ?

[Gunilla]

I think the colors are great! Perhaps a bit too busy though - I'm not sure ... the top right corner kind of jumps out a bit.

Plenty of time for tweaking still - to make that extra disgusting thingie :thumbsup:

[makaron]

that building looks perfect as background... :twisted:

[Tremoside]

Hey Eddie,

Nice (nice:rolleyes: ) stuff man. Those changes of the background are cool. More interesting. Probably you can add some brighter colors or some "highlights" to the foreground. To characters, just to pick them out from the backgrnd. I only think that bckgrnd and frgrnd colors are too similar now. Everithing else is just perfect for me. It's not a simple topic you know, but the way you realized it makes it so fine :) hehe scary. cya, Mark

[eddieellis]

Gunilla: hi mate, i needed to put it in on the right, so that the contrast between character and backgound stood out from each other. but will do soem tests.

makaron : cheers dude, im kindda happy with it, i decided not to go with the hospital. dont know why artistic merit i guess.

Tremoside : hey mate, thanks for dropping by. i see what your saying. i was trying to get the focus on the baby, not the mother, which is why i tried fading her into the background.

Im really happy with this image now, so i just think im going to add some extra blood and goo to finish it off... then im done

[eddieellis]

Right Guy's, ive decided that this is going to be my final image, as to be honest im bored of it now and want to move onto something else...

Cheers for watching

[monsitj]

Great job man. Love it.:thumbsup:

Brian

[GonzaloGolpe]

LOL! what a beautiful birth haha, original image, good luck!!:thumbsup:

[glenn23]

I finally got the balls to really study your rendering. It's freakin' incredible! I have to admit I would only take quick looks at it as you worked it because it really is upsetting, but time to suck it up and give this artist his props. You're fearless man!
Now I have to go get a turkey ready for frying with this picture in my brain!
Thanks!

Glenn

[CryingHorn]

Hey it's final :) cheers mate :scream: you know I was wondering how many times you've heard phrases like: Hey now that looks sick man! :) Anyway great composition it raises a disgust and laugh at the same time :surprised :D and the surprise wich I feel after can be considered as spectacular I guess, cha cha... Good luck and cheers :wavey:

[evanfotis]

Wow!
What guts for such a controversial image!
I just love the perspective angle, the mother's expression, and the mischief of the little devil.
Well done mate:twisted:
It sure is a spectacular hot potato.

Hey Guy's the title of my Image is called "Birth (The Demon King)".

I haven't really got a backstory for this image, but i would like to give you the reasons why i choose to do it for the challange.

a Couple of day's before the challenge started i became the proud father of a bouncing baby boy. When the challenge was annouced i read the instructions which asked us all to produce an image that depicted a moment or event in time that was spectactular. Which made me think of what was the most spectacular moment in my life, which funnily enough was a couple of days previous when i watch my Son being born.
A futher description in the challenge was to produce an image that would excite and sicken the viewer at the same time, i took this litrally and thought what would be the best thing i could do to show the spectular event of birth, but in just a way that would bring allot of controvicy and make the image talked about for along time after. I was reminded of something Goerge A Romero said in an interview which was "why cut the camera away at all the good bits, its what the vewier wants to see weather say it or not".

These were the reason why i decided to do such a image, plus the fact i love to shock people...

[Matellis]

wow , now thats just something else! congrats on the baby , but do me a fav and dont show this to him until hes about 40 years old! great stuff

[Climax]

• :argh: Everytime I see him i can feel his smell......and it is definitly not like "teen Spirit" :D Lol very impacting image, I guess that is the idea uh? I congratule you for acomplishing the challenge with such great stuff, now, excuse me ....I have to....go to...the ...bath.....BBBBLLLOOOAAARRRGGGHHTT .....:drool: sorry!

[eddieellis]

Matellis : lol. when ever he looks at it he laughs... lol

Climax : lol, thanks man, does tend to leave a smell in the back of your throat.... he he

[eddieellis]

Hey Guy's guess what ?..... my submission of this entry to the Finished artwork section has been denied... how rude is that.,

I guess my art is just to controvertial for the CGTalk team... which makes me think that the judges just might reject my entry. :twisted: :shrug:

[Gunilla]

What!? :eek:

That's so wierd... the gallery is filled with blood, chopped off heads, zombies and such - but a woman (sort of...) giving birth is to much?

I really hope your not rejected for the challenge though, it would be a great shame. Good luck, buddy :thumbsup:

[Dookie 3000]

maybe... cuz the challenge is make "something spectacular", not something SHOCKING!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA LOL!

this is the weirdest 3d artwork EVER SEEN BEFORE! AND WEIRDEST FOR EVER!

congratulations!

[DorisDay]

my submission of this entry to the Finished artwork section has been denied

This is so sad, isn't art meant to evoke thoughts, emotions & opinions, why does CGTalk chose to censor what we can see & what we can't, I think the decision to ban this from the finished art section blows big time...

[grrinc]

Why let it go this far before censoring it?? It was quite plain from the begining what the content of the work was. If there are rules in place to "Ban This Filth" they should of been implemented earlier. I hope the person responsible for this decision is courteous enough to come forward and explain why.

CGTalk just got a little bit more sterile today. Shame.

[Murfdog]

Thats Gnarly

[maxflame]

What is this is see? thats plain not fair! The end product could be figured out ages ago, its then they should have carried out their actions.Why now?

[eddieellis]

arh thanks guy's im touched......

i think i will wait for the results and then try to submit again, if i have no joy, then i think ill just have to try harder to sicken you lot... :hmm:

[Mikeface]

It's in the Spectacular rules:

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

Is this really such a surprise?

[eddieellis]

so which one does this image come under ?

its not violent, sexual, brutal ... it maybe crawl, but only to the mother

[grrinc]

It's in the Spectacular rules:

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

Is this really such a surprise?

Again, why let Eddies entry go this far?? It had quite few viewings before someone decided they were offended. Although the image is most definatly 'in yer face', I cant see anything violent, sexual, cruel and brutal either. But, hey, thats just me.

[eddieellis]

hey before this goes any further, i would like to stress that my entriy to the competition has been allowed up to this point, but the problem im facing is that my entry to the finished work gallery keeps getting denied.

This kind of makes me think that there are a few double standards going on there, as its ok in one place but not another
