[Eratrioch]

Hey Petre,

This is a great concept and you stair modeling is looking great .:thumbsup: One thing in the concept sketch , I think you could emphasize the gate pillars in the foreground more, or move the camera and characters back some towards the camera. Just a thought. Good luck and have fun with this.

[Eratrioch]

Thanks Mmoir . I will keep in mind your advice - it can help the composition . Good luck to you , too .

some additions and another point of view-more close to the concept

[simovici]

Very nice concept. It really give me the impression of a very long journey.

Good luck.

[Puck]

Wow, you've done heaps already, nice start. I've always loved windy stairs, reminds me of Roger Deans organic illustrations.


Keep up the good work.

a shading/texture test and some more modeling

[mmoir]

Hey Petre,

Great job on modeling of the stairs.:thumbsup: I like the texture on the stone but it is a little monotonous, maybe add some contrasting darker shades towards both sides and have the stairs the lighter color. Just some thoughts I had when looking at the image.

[luigithekid]

Great concept.
I like the modeling. I think you should look at the grand canyon for the textures, and maybe make a distiction between the rocks and the floor on the foreground!!

last update for today :).

[theodoru]

Hey, nice job on the textures so far. I think that if the stairs would have a different texture and color it will be much better, and will help to guide the viewers eyes and add more deep.
But this are just my thoughts not a must.

[Eratrioch]

Thanks everyone for advice - good hints !

I've started the first character.

[burpy]

Terrain is looking great, nice start on the character modeling too!

Maybe you could break up the rocky 'shelves' a bit as they have an artificial look to them...but the overall effect is brilliant!:) So keep it up!

more detail - I will concentrate on the back of the character since this part will be the most visible

[shahabp]

good composition,I like the comcept.

good luck.

[BrianC]

I like the concept..

and the terrein its great!

there is something with the character that I don`t like.. don`t know.. may finished would look great, but so far, I don`t like it to much

good luck!!

small update

[simovici]

I like your model but I have something to comment. I think something is wrong withi his clothes that covers his head. I think some wrinkles are are nt in the wright place orr the wright position. I mean the wrinkle in the upper half of the head. Maybe I'm wrong, but from the back, the head looks almost like a tree to me. Maybe those wrinkle are too deep and that's why it gives me that sensation.

Anyway, you made a great model.

I'll be watching :)

low-poly character - still very much work to do on it

[luigithekid]

That character is coming along real nice!

texturing WIP

[asbassie]

Modeling superb and the mapping really something else. Of course I love the theme and of course the concept is nice. I felt after seeing the hands first that it might need some work now it seems to me that it actually ties in nicely with your style. I would like to see more. Dude - Love those materials.:thumbsup:

[Eratrioch]

I've continued texturing the character . There's still a lot to do though .

texturing update

[simovici]

Really nice textures. I would make that sword brighter. In rest...very nice, as I said

[BAMU]

salut

I like textures too [and enviroment looks good too ;)], I think the proportion of the character are a little wierd [at least if you intend to do so], head am hands [palms] are too small.
bafta si spor la lucru in continuare :thumbsup:

[Alberto_Ro]

Well, the terrain looks nice, but a bit artificial!
About the character...His head should be bigger, as well as his hands ( too small for a knight ). The shoulder armour could give him some style if it would be something like this ( World of Warcraft hehe ):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v512/Frozt/filthwow.jpg
And you should make him a nice helmet like the ones use by the greeks: http://www.varmouries.com/vpics/anc_46a.jpg
And I think you should make a stilized sword, like this one:
http://files2.turbosquid.com/Preview/Content_on_11_13_2004_08_32_09/sword_v2_01.jpge459eac5-96fc-4504-b2b1-1f7d1dac79d6Large.jpg

Salutari! :applause:

[zdepth]

Just a quick question. Do you think the characters proportions are right? or shold i say working as well as they could.

[warpy]

i think his head is too small for his body.

[Eratrioch]

I've changed the proportions a litlle - btw thanks everyone for advices , also modeled and textured the sword .

[simovici]

Very nice and detailed model of the sword. Looks very good.

[jonone]

hei nice work so far!
textures look good.if u might round the chet abit and maybe scale it down to better work with the rest of the body.
all in all good job:)
mult noroc in continuare! ;)
