the suit is perhaps to black to see detail, but you'll change that, won't you ? :D

Joril

11-08-2002, 09:36 PM

Indeed, it was either the black suit or in the nude :)
I still need to dress him up.

Just a render of one of my hobbies! :D
It's so obvious...
One of these days Blizzard is bound to sue me for one reason or another :rolleyes:
Anyway, I hope you like it this far. There is more to follow! Different hobbies, poses and so on ... :D

looks very cool. add more detail to take it up another level.

perhaps make the underclothing a different colour from black as its really hard to see. maybe a dark grey?

11-11-2002, 10:21 PM

Joril

11-12-2002, 06:05 PM

Chad-D, to kind :blush: :)

Anyway, today was a school day so very little wipping going on.
Did some material testing... a little re-rigging and some posing.
I rendered this just then.

I like,Yes I like quite abit.............Good feel and look,it's already looking to have this certain style that distinguises it from most styles.

Keep going Joril,it's really very good.:thumbsup: :beer:

Joril

11-13-2002, 08:24 PM

Thanks Virtuoso, always a pleasure hear from you :D

I've been busy today.
Here's the result.
Please do notice the armourchains beneath the cloth, my computer would apreciate it because they consist of alot of polygonal RAM eaters :D

Who ho great moddel Joril.
Really nice style great head and suit.
If HONOR wasn´t written on the book I would say it was a book with dark spells.

;) I do c the chains . why not making them a bit longer so you really notice them

Hamer is cool but make the stick thikker or do something cool with it look like a ordinary big hammer now.

Anyways GREAT going man.

KingMob

11-14-2002, 02:51 PM

or add another row of chains, they are cool, it would be a shame to have them hidden.

looks really good man..but you know what I think about it already

leigh

11-14-2002, 04:51 PM

LOL that's really cool, Joril :thumbsup:
You look like a vampire :D

Cool work!

Joril

11-17-2002, 08:12 PM

Dark spells, evil, vampire

...

omg
I'm a monster.... :twisted:

Okok, not all the time... but hey, a paladin is supposed to be a good guy, helping the weak and defenceless, hunting down vampires and so on.. not be one :surprised :D
Hey, but thanks for all the kind comments guys and gal, it keeps my spirit up! ;)

But anyways, I was curius.
So I made this ...

Ohh Ohhh! Fellow Blizz fan here. My addiction so far :D has been limited to Star Craft and D2. Very cool idea.
A added idea, accesorize yourself as each race and put the guys together to duke it out :bounce: hehehe

Great idea and keep it up!

Joril

11-19-2002, 01:33 PM

Fellow Blizz fan here.
Heh, yes, I think I'm taking this to far. :D
The race idea is kinda cool! I'll see how far I get with this ;)

Joril

11-24-2002, 10:45 PM

Thanks guys!! :beer:

I just have to give a little sign of life, I worked very little this weekend (did a major system upgrade over here, and it was a busy week - excuses excuses, I know ;) .
Anyway, I made a little sword(wip!!) fridaynight.
Just imported it in Layout, posed my little friend with it, and made the picture :)
More to come!

A rather smallish update, I'm afraid.
But it sheds some more light at what I had to show :D

http://members.lycos.co.uk/joril/Dread_Render_Vs004.jpg

Got comments? Then help me out :) It's much appreciated.

Virtuoso

11-25-2002, 11:40 PM

Hi Joril..............Looks good. Near to very good. One of the more interesting pieces of this challenge.

I think what's needed to get it to the very good stage is more detailing. To begin with the boots............Go for it,Give them more detail. Also the armor could get some sigils or nice design patterns upon them. Add a displacement or bump here and there.Get your guy more dirty,more worn,he is toooo clean.

All in all however I like the whole look and feel.But with some added detailing he can be a real sweet enrty. Just my 2 Francs.....;)

I hope to see more details if possible,but still even without it's a good job.:beer:

Joril

11-27-2002, 01:39 AM

Virtuoso you are godsend!!
Thanks alot, your comments, and advice, pushed me back into LW this evening :)
Mind the skull which was just like modelling another character-head.

This is the result for now, big render for once :D

http://members.lycos.co.uk/joril/Dread_Render_Vs005.jpg

Have fun!

Joril

It just got better:

Nice update..

u should but a curtve in the boots........ on the inside of the foot. and and and........ the low point of the humps on the dress should be lower....... its too straight, it looks a bit like corrugated iron.

and u should put cuffs on the sleeves

its cool model!

:beer:

11-28-2002, 08:36 AM

Nice work Joril! very nice style, I recognize the Blizzard touch(diablo!)... Those boots give a cool touch. Hey, what's the hobby? Role-Playing?

Virtuoso: It's Francs no more... say "my two Euro cents ";)

Virtuoso

11-28-2002, 09:17 AM

Nicer again Joril..................But don't stop.A little dirtier look too could be nice. But it really depends what you have exactly in mind with this guy. I still think a few added touches can add more still.....................
All in all a fine job.:beer: ..............

m@...............Yes ,yes...........I know.......But how I miss the good ol' Belgian Franc, nice memories and all that. And that's my two Euro cents..............I got to get used to that ....... ;) :beer:

Joril

12-01-2002, 09:05 PM

Hey, thanks for all the feedback guys!
Krugar, i fixed the boots, and the.. erm.. dress.
I'm not so sure how cuffs would look on it though.
m@.: The hobby is "being a warcraft-addict" And yes, Blizzard was a main source of inspiration. For all my stuff actually.
Virtuoso: A dirtier look eh? I'm gonne play with textures for that :)
But I suppose I can't overdo it too, it's not actually part of the challenge, and the image can't look to "busy".
Oh, I'm still adapting to those Euros, converting everything back into Franks... *sigh*

I've been terribly busy this week. And it's not looking good for next week either.
I knew I shouldn't have spent so much time with my other hobbies...

Either way, here's a little progress. I'm thinking more textures next.
