Hi All,
Here is (finally) an update! Been kinda busy, but finally got a day to do some personal work. Here is the results. I decided to create her hair out of feathers, since she will have angel-like wings. Unfortunately, since we can't use textures, I had to model them. I kept the geometry as light as I could, but still pretty dense. Well let me know what you think! Hopefully I will have another productive day tomorrow!

Thanx for the wireframe post... love the details in the hair and the circular-thing-that-holds-the-hair (haha, the detail on it is lovely)...

Can't wait to see the body that attaches to that head!!

[Joebount]

I love her hair/feathers ! I'm really impatient to see more ! :)

[fellah]

wow!
I'm starting to fall in :love: with her, really great looking female, good job on the modeling!

[hobbes]

great hair!!!
i hope to see more and i'll check for update of this pretty godess.

[Sirchced]

Wow... Her hair must have taken a while. I can't wait to see more.

Give us more!!!

[goodlag]

wow great hair

:eek:

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate the input. I am going to add a few things to her face then start modeling her body/cloths today. I will keep you guys updated!

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[Sphere777]

Looking top notch as usual. Keep the images coming.

-Chuck

[Nazgul]

Man are you sick!! So much time must have been spent on the hair/feathers!:eek:
Great work. can't wait to see it all come alive.

[Koma]

beautifull ,but look like a human at this point . im hurry to see what is coming.
:wip:

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Here is a very quick update. I have actually modeled the eye this time and added her tiara. Working on the body now!:D

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[Sangotten]

She's looking great!!!

All those details, just excelent!!:thumbsup:

[marioucci]

beautiful details!!!!!
cant wait to see more!!!!!:love:

[Threedeemer]

Truly impressive! :thumbsup:
The eye area details really add alot.

[psumo]

Looks great
I love the feathers and the detail on the tiara

For comments on the face:
I think her top lip is too thin and the line of her mouth is
too straight maybe add some more curvature and
end the bottom lip before the top lip and it'll look perfect

[pearson]

Well, I hate to be a parrot and say what everybody else is saying, but....The hair/feathers really ARE awesome! It's a great idea and you've done it beautifuly! :D

I also can't wait to see the whole body! :cool:

[Wraith]

Awesome looking detail... Looking forward to seeing more, watching this space :)

My March Challenge So Far (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3816)

[Jaidek]

Thanks for the comments! Psumo, thanks for the tip! I will definately define the upper lip a bit more in the next post. You know how it is staring at something so long, you miss the small things.:D Gonna try to post something later tonight, if not definately tomorrow.

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[vapulus]

The amount of details you've got in the modeling is nothing short of inspirational. I love seeing how some of these artists manage to finesse models without textures. =) Great work.

[Angel3D]

Cool ! I like her feathers, it's quite original, hope she won't fly with her hairs!!! lol ;)
Hope to see more soon

[Neox]

Great Work, but have you read the contest rules?

"Gods & Demons should NOT look like ordinary humans with just a robe for example. Give them style, make them "godly", really push yourself."

if you don't change it believe she is much too close to a human

but the model roxx!:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Titan]

excellent work man...love it!!!!

[OZ]

:eek: O mY!!!! YOU ARE A MASTER MAN!!!! the hairs are AMAZING!!!!! a master ,a master i say....:scream: AW!

[lildragon]

See this is what I was talking about, this is where it shows how much you can put into your models without the aid of textures, mind you textures would ease the poly count but that's not what we're after this month, and after the challenge if you do decide to texture, just reduce the geometry and go at it, in the end you really see how much you can push yourself... love it love it... but as some say work on her appearance a touch more to add that non human quality to her.. you're pretty close tho, just a bit more

a su salud :beer:

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

As for making her look more godly, I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Trust me! ;) Being that she has been described throughout time as a beautiful woman, I didn't stylize her face much. I plan on accenting other features, such as her hair, body and wings.

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[bibi5000]

It's...

...wow..


...impressing!

You've got my vote. You're really a good modeler! Just as lildragon said, this is what we're after, please show us more :D

[Titan]

hey man....great stuff, love your work so far..
the only thing that sticks out to me is the lips...it looks like they could use a little more refinement around the edges.....but keep the corners soft.

I'm just nit-picking though..its really fantastic work.....keep it up!

[Joebount]

cutie !!!

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Here is a quick update for ya! I just started modeling her body and here is the rough torso. Still alot of adjusting and detail to add, but its a start! Also a quick render of her with a slight smile (didn't want to get carried away with facial expressions just yet :D ). Well time for some sleep...

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[Jaidek]

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

[Poju]

OOOOHH

Amazing head piece, but is her nose pointing just a little too up?

Keep it coming

[dutch]

the hair is great

but the face needs alot of work

the lips bother me alot

they just come to an end

the should be round at the corners

ie the top lip should go around to the bottom lip

[Eugeny]

I like the hair design, but u stil need to work on the body...
Good luck;)

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Thanks for the critiques! Keep them coming! :D I will definately make some modifications to the lip area, just needs a little tweaking. Don't be too harsh on the body just yet as it is only roughed out and needs plenty of work. Just wanted to show you the progress of her figure.

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[henry]

love it just LOVE it!! especially that feather-hair it's great

keep up the rrrrrrrrreally good work :wavey:

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Here is an updated version of Nemesis's face. I took the lip suggestions and decided to refine her while I was at it. As for the body, I had the chance to work on it briefly today and will definitely post the progress tomorrow (er...that’s now today...time flies!:D ).

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Here is the latest update. Sorry that it took so long.:D I have pretty much finished the overall body, just some adjustments here and there. Also continuing to work on her feet. I decided to do a modified bird's foot that more resembles a humans. Would really like to know what you think of it. After this it is onto the wings then finally the clothing (then rigging, what fun...;) ). Hopefully I will post some progress tomorrow, if not definately the weekend. Thanks again for all your critiques!

Very Very nice. I like the softness of her human form and the sharp contrast with her bird feet. That hair is stunning too. I want to see it with proper texturing. that will be great.

[Jaidek]

Thanks for the critique! I agree, I can't wait to start texturing her! I really hope that they will allow us to use this months modeling challenge in next months shading and lighting challenge. That would be great.:bounce:

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[Joel Hooks]

From what I read, they will do exactly that.

[OZ]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: !!what the he@%.......just incredible!!!!!! the feet.......aweeeeeeeeeeeeesome!!!!!! G R R R E A T !

[Kaos]

OH MY GOODNESS................ WOW...

i think you should work a bit more on her face...... especially the mouth and nose area........ your detail is staggering, i hope you plan on a large format print of this, otherwise, the amount of detail and the beauty of the detail will be lost.......

[DesertSTRIKER]

MaN. i just love her:D :D , the details are freaking cool!!!!!
may i can see the low poly of the hands???? they are so beauty and wich program are u using?

Like the wise cow said: Muuuuuuu

[MikaelPersson]

(do you want critiques on the body yet?)
I think you should give her more of a womans body, not so much like a girls. Wider hips for example.
Her face and hair (wich really looks great) suggests that she is a queen. A mature woman, but not yet old. The person that comes in mind is the elf queen in fellowship of the ring (elloween is that it? (I surely must brush up my lord of the rings knowledge)).

[J.Peckham]

wow. look at that hair...thats amazing

[EvilKroM]

I love the details on this model. The feathers on the head are very cool, and the details on the feet are awesome.

Keep pluggin away! :buttrock:

[Jaidek]

Hi All,
Thanks for all comments, keep them coming! Well I have been hard at work this weekend and here are the results. I have finished the wings and are setup, but remain static in these pics. I have also started on her clothing, which is only roughed out at the moment. There is so much detail to add to the clothing, definately looking forward to working on that aspect. Also you may have noticed that I have added some additional details to the feet as well as added an additional support toe. Well here we go, on with the posts!:D

WOW... absolutely incredible work man. Would have expected nothing less. Nice semi transparent material.

[Iguiniz.X.]

It is te first time I see a women in the march chalange.
It is really cool how you made her hair of fetters.
This promisses a very dificult choise at the end of the chalange.
Well I'll give some opinion I have but it is just an opinion. the nose is a bit round and personally It could use some personality. I don't know how to say it except in this way so it isn't my intention to offend you it is just english isn't my native language. Well I hope to see the updates soon.:thumbsup: :buttrock:

[DirtROBOT]

That's looking really nice, that is a cool classical looking character :)

The feathers are a sweet touch in the hair.

=Dana

[Sphere777]

You know, I was looking at your post again and I thought of something you might consider as a revision. I was thinking that maybe the wings should be more jointed than curved. I don't know what kind of a final image you have in your head but I thought it might add some more definition to them. Just a thought. looks incredible either way.

-Chuck

[Iguiniz.X.]

It is the second women I seen in the chalange.
Woman character

[Jaidek]

Hi All,
Here is an update! :D I basically finished the overall look of her clothing, so now it is time to add some small details here and there. When that is complete I think the character design will be finished. I should be rigging and creating some facial blends later this week (if all goes well.) Then it is off to create the final image!! WOOHOO!!! :bounce:

Here is the requested wireframe of her hand, I am sorry that it took me so long to post it.

Looking absolutely incredible. You definately have an awesome sense for character design. Been outta the loop for a while but it's great to see this kind of progress through out the board.

Keep it up.

[dutch]

fantastic

some things that bother me:

her head seems too big

also

i dont like her feet human feet would be nice : ) but thats my personal opinion : )

good work

[Jaidek]

Thanks for the replies! I am still here, just working on the final setup and image. Haven't given up! :D Hopefully I will post something tonight or tomorrow. As for the feet, I agree, I would rather have nice human feet but it adds some non-human traits to her. I have worked on the proportions some while setting her up, just haven't posted anything to show the progress.

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[psumo]

looks great

My one problem is that the feather patterns are repeating
I think If you made 4-5 different feathers this wouldn't be
that obvious

I hope you put her is a great dynamic pose

[Jaidek]

Hi All,

Well here is the result of a months worth of work, had alot of fun doing it. I wanna thank each and every one of you who gave me feedback, I really appreciate it. I decided to give her a kind of heroic pose, something very powerful. As for the background, just a model I am currently working on for my day job, thought it would fit nicely. Once again, thanks! Happy voting! :D

Latre,
Corey Kinard

[zero]

wow! that looks very impressive! i love her pose, very dramatic! are you going to texture her?

- zero

[Korgath]

Cool pose.

[Jaidek]

Hi All,
As for texturing her, I had originally planned to for the next challange, but it will all depend on how much time I will have next month. Even if I do, I am going to have to rework and simplify the model, my little machine wimpers every time I load this scene! hehe.:D So time will tell...
