*subscribes* ;)

[LadyMedusa]

Thank you mateys :D

I'll do my best. It'll be the first time I do anything 3d in "Public" so don't be expecting anything spectacular :scream:

Starting off whit a rapid Photoshop sketch.
Sometimes journeys start a little confusingly, before it is all well planned out, and that is the emotion I want for this image.
They are on a long table behind a bowl of fruit. I want some flowers on the table as well, but I didn't manage to fit them in. I'd rather get lost while I'm in Maya anyway so it doesn't really matter that much at this point.
I'm going for a perspective I'm having difficulties in when working in 2D
Need to put some chairs as well, now that I think of it.

[Zapan]

Yay !

How cute is that !! :bounce: Cool sketch Valentina !

cheers ,

-Zapan

[pluMmet]

I remember that bug you did in the Photo / WIP Exchange. It was nice. I'm sure this will go well and I like your sketch. Details like chairs and stuff will only help. Have Fun!

[jmBoekestein]

Hey kewl, also 3D, the colours are cool, but it's hard to tell if they're going anywhere or not I think. Since looking at the perspective they don't a lot of places to so heh.

Good luck, curous to see the rest.


Buuugs!!! Weehee!!! :scream:

[sergioKomic]

Good luck Valentina...!

I like the begining of your concept!:thumbsup:

[varma]

Hallais! That's a great start and fun idea! I agree that you need more composition
tweak to make it work! Anyways, I wish you good luck!

[LadyMedusa]

Squib- haha XD
Zapan- Thank you :)
pluMmet- hehe, I have to confess I'm rather fachinated by bugs, particularly beatles :)
Funny little round bugs, they are :cool:
Jan-Mark- Thank you :). Heh, that's right. They don't exactly got much to do- I Got it! a rescue mission! Not sure that'll go as a journey though
Sergio- Thank you :)
varma- Takker :)

[Agamemnwn]

[Wintermute]

LOL! the one scratching it's head just cracks me up! "where are we going again?"

Looking forward to more! :beer:

[mali22]

That's such a funny concept.. I love the idea. And it's so true
If you can get those guys' confused expressions right, it's gonna be soo good. :D

[elmasfeo]

hey, I didn't know you were on the 3d side too, good luck with the 5D!!!:bounce:

I'm curious about where's this journey going too...

[urgaffel]

*prods* How are things coming along? Any new sketches/ideas/previews? :)

[LadyMedusa]

Aggie- Helloo~ Thanks :)
Wintermute- Hehehe, Exactly the kind of feel I whant for him, Hope I'll be able to do that in 3D :scream:
mali- Thank you :)
Feo- You'll see ;)
Urg- ... Yup! I'll work on it tomorrow :). I got an idea, but havent been able to put it on paper yet

I what to make it whit a perspective I really can't handle in 2D, and for this concept I'm going whit frog perspective, or seen from bellow, if you what.
What we see here is a spider that has captured a beautiful moth, or maybe another bug, and a beetle who is going to rescue her. The spider is going up trough a spiky bush of some sort. This is where his journey begins.

A little devil, or a monster, finds a stairway to the upper world and decides to venture up to see how it looks.

[Agamemnwn]

hi valentina ,

both concepts are looking good. i like the devil one most :D maybe u can make his expression evil looking and plotting something bad:D

[Gremlin]

wow, we think similarly--I was thinking of something similar; some childish devil-like characters that essentially must trek through heaven to get back home (to hell) but you're idea is decently similar to mine! :argh:

[MVDB]

I think this devil sketch/concept is definately one to brainstorm some more on!

Cool concepts tho, but 'devil's' my favourit! :thumbsup:

[luigithekid]

Yes, somehow the devils concept seems more like a journey thing.
And his expressio should definitely be an evilish one...

[raultabajara]

The ideia is very cool!
but the stair cold be to larger!

[Vedic-kings]

Love the sketch!

[LadyMedusa]

Aggie- Thank you :)
Gremlin- Oi thats sort of scary, hope you won't mind if I go whit it though... I really liked it aswell
Michael- Thank you :)
luigithekid- Thanks :)
Raul- Thanks. I'm going to make the steps a little smaller, might make it a little borader aswell :)
Vedic- Thanks

[Squibbit]

haha sweet sketch!

A more detailed sketch of the devil.
I want his wings to be too small for him to use them, so he will have to walk all the way. He is still growing after all :)
I also want to have his throat glowing, and his tongue to be black or really dark blue or purple.

[makaron]

one cute little devil... and perfect touch with those tiny wings... :thumbsup:

[se7enthcin]

Glad to see that you're competing Valentina!

I like your second idea with the devil. You should run with it. Jump into that 3D ap! :wavey:

[Selina42]

I'm for your last idea too -loving your little devil design! -And its an unusual idea!

[Wintermute]

I like the little devil concept too!

from your initial sketch, I got the feeling that he was sneaking out of hell, sort of looking around to make sure nobody is watching–like a child sneaking a cookie out of a cookie jar while his parents aren't watching :D

[INIX]

Hey nice work there keeeeep it up yeah i like the devil thing better then the other :D n yeah would love to see the modeling in progres :D :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

[sergioKomic]

[LadyMedusa]

Mona- Hehe tack :)
se7enthcin- I will.. sometime... soon, yeah soon :p
Selina- Thank you
Wintermute- Hihihihi. A sneaky little fella' he will still remain http://forums.hyperactive.com.au/images/smilies/icon_evillaugh.gif
Nahvi- Thank you
Sergio- Hehe, hope so attleast :), Thanks.

[MVDB]

this last color devil concept is realy good. hahaha, made me laugh!
:D
Maybe give him a bigger belly? throat glowing? That would be awesome!

[Zapan]

Modeling in process :)

I started whit a Polygon sphere for the belly, and move some of the top vertexes to start on the torso. I extrude so I have pretty much enough divisions. I extruded the tail, but could not make the tip of the tail, so I made a polygon cone, modified it to look like I wanted and connected it to the rest of the body.
I Made a NURBS sphere as a temporary eye so I could make the eye lids.

[Sneakybunny]

good luck lady Medusa, i like the shade of red you shaded with and a really creature devil keep up the good work ok.
see you around.. Jay

[Agamemnwn]

hi valentina :D , cool looking devil and great start on the modelling :D

From behind, front and a full body, so you can see how huge those horns are.

[LadyMedusa]

Jason- Thank you :)
Jannis- Takk :)
Dimi- hehehe ^^

[bleumoon]

Hello Valentina! You probably don't know me, but I know you (Ok, that sounded a little creepy . . . oh well). Actually, I've only just seen some of your great 2D work from bouncing around on the forums.

Anywho, I guess I'm not the first one that didn't know that you were into 3D. A true artist you are :)

I'm glad you went with the lil' fellah . . . he looks great. I can't wait to see how this turns out, so I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on this.
P.S. Did I mention that I like the lil' fellah . . . . because I really like the lil' fellah :love:
