salud

[cerreto]

Haha sheep head good to see you mate as far as that arse thing goes you better pack your lunch LOL i may even have to hurt you with one hand behind my back and using wings instead of maya or lw ;)



This should be alot of fun !!!

[bentllama]

Welcome to the fray once and again! Jackass! :p:p

where are your sketches?

[cerreto]

If they were up your butt you would know ;)


Ill work on some so you can have a good laugh soon enough

[cerreto]

Ok i have a few ideas one of them is to create a race that hunts down drunk llamas and chops off thhere head to help keep down all the poo they creat over there farm lands !

Thats only one idea though !

[bentllama]

this llama spits sake.

[chadlychoo]

he he he, nice idea. I can't wait to see what you'll come up with! :thumbsup:

[cerreto]

Ok i did a lil reading and decided to go with this concept



The Western Gods took council with Iluvathar and decided to capture Melkor. The War of the Gods broke out and Melkor was captured ( Year 1099 ) and brought to Valinor ( Year 1100 ) where he was doomed to serve 3 ages in the fastness of Mandos.

But Sauron was not found and he laid hid while Melkor was captured


My character is a hunter that is created by the gods with one function to track and destroy sauron at the will of the gods!

No sketches yet but my thoughts are that he will where a steel mask with no mouth and only eyes cut out large anotomy inteligent and overpowering



pretty simple but simple is good when your rushed for time !


pic coming soon !

[Per-Anders]

that sounds cool, i love the idea of this hunter creature out to get Sauron. looking forward to some sketches

[Error323]

Your artwork was/is always so original!!! Can't w8 to see this!
:bounce: :bounce: :wip:

[Remi]

Sounds kick ass....good idea...need to go back and read the books again..it's been a while....looking forward to seeing your "crappy sketches" that you're so afraid to put up.....:thumbsup:

[cerreto]

Originally I had planned on doing a big huge creature as the hunter, but then it occured to me a hunter sent by the gods would probally need to look in some ways similar to sauron himself with armor etc of a simmilar style !

while not wanting to copy any of that and also to have a distinct difrrence at the same time as looking similar. I came up with this from a 5 minute sketch its only part of the sketch and ill finsh the whole thing with a difrent view or two but i think its hat ill go with

just wanted to get a sketch up before bentllama crucifies me LOL Its also kind of ironic that during this challenge im reminded in my poor sketching abilities of something bay raitt told me when i first started modeling FORM VOLUME DETAIL ! some things stick with ya LOL


anyway heres my crappy sketch as you can see i havent decided on leg armor gloves and weopon yet many more sketches to come Sorry ! ;)

[erilaz]

[Loki]

I love the paintover
great stuff

are the spikes on his arms or back? its hard to tell at the angle shown


cant wait to see the 3d model :thumbsup:

[BlueCougar]

You'll be able to do some cool textures on that matte black armor. Maybe some intricate runes and writing on it that you only catch in the light. Bring it on!

[Remi]

Very dark and my pants are full...wait did I just type that out loud....uhhhh...great job cerrato....looking forward to the modeling...:thumbsup:

[psumo]

hehehe... the old day's? 6 months ago. ;)

haha... Nate, you always crack my ass up. Anywho, Trav I like it so far. The one thing I want to mention is... Don't try and be like anybody besides YOU. I know it's hard when you draw inspiration from such good artists but those concepts look a lot like some other artists I know.

besides all that silly stuff... looks good. What else you got biotch?

[marioucci]

whoa!!!!!
travis style at its best shape!!!!!!

terrific concept trav. are u moving to modelling already??
each day i like ur 2d more and more.. post some more sketches would ya???

cheers mate

loggie

[cerreto]

Thanks man mostly i just try to draw what i think would look cool if i were to be the character ! kinda hard if its a girl lol but martin tells me all the time my designs all look cat like LOL i do tend to like cool blues and monotone colors, nuetrals etc though i think thats a coomn trait for alot of concept stuff though thanks man

[cerreto]

Thanks mario im going to work on a front sketch tonght so ill post the sketch up then ! btw wheres yours at ;)


psumo im thinking along those lines tuff decision on the weopon as it needs to fit into the story the way that saurons mace does !
btw are you going to enter ?



thanx to eq for hosting this image as well !

[Equinoxx]

trav my man .. . told ya when i hosted it that it looks ace and that i really dig the Knights Templar cross as a detailing .. .

really looking forward to your start in 3d man, it's gonna be ace

come to think of it, this is one friggin ace challenge for sure

[Laa-Yosh]

Looks nice... I have an idea for the weapon. Ever seen those crosses between battle axe and mace? It's basically something like a battle axe with 4 simmetrically placed blade's and is used to 'open' plate armor :)

Or maybe a sword with a waved blade? But I think the first one would fit him better...

Which isn't a bad thing at all I might add.

:wip:
:eek:

[cerreto]

LOL at visualboo ;)

la yosh yeah im trying to think what would work best thats a good idea ill have to play with!

you do a sketch yet ?

[leigh]

Holy crap that's cool!! :D:D:D:D
I love the design - that's a bloody cool character you've got there! Wow! Looking forward to updates! :bounce:

[cerreto]

Ok so i started a body was more for playing around with muscle structure than anything but it was funn the anotomyeven though it sucks and doesnt really matter sense it will be covered in armor so WEEEE!


I belive im having some gamma troubles so let me know if its funky !


http://www.3dluvr.com/cerreto/WIP/Chest%20.jpg

[BlueCougar]

Ya think! Hehe, yeah its just a little dark on mine. Looks awesomely ripped in the muscles I like what you have.:thumbsup:

[bentllama]

that is one deep butt crack...and the pic was dark too! :)

[rickycox]

eeeerrr fantasy mucho guys always look a bit gay, but great work, keep it up man.

yes. i been telling him his gamma is way too high for months now..
damn lazy.!!

[cerreto]

think part of the problem was that i switched it to 1.1 from 2.2 i just switched back tell me if its still to dark ? also my blue gun may be gone on my monitor as well


heres a tiny update things are really sloppy and rushed not any detail or tailoring yet but its a start lol

[SirManfred]

Looks cool, keep it up. I like the details and the armourparts

[Virtuoso]

Quite a nice design there Cerreto. It looks to be one to look out for as you continue.:beer:

[bentllama]

the screen is pretty dark here...

nice to see your progress. :)

[ambient-whisper]

lookin good.

seems like your a bit confused on what to model next tho ;) with so many parts started .. my only advice is to get teh doods body finished. and then make the armour around it.

[cerreto]

sorry about the darkness ill try to adjust really light in ps with cuves or something

as far as bieng confused im just trying to budget my polys so im not modeling areas covered in armor the eyes were there only because i deleted the helmet which wasnt turning out the way i wanted ! agree though that most of the time body should be done first thanks bro !

[ambient-whisper]

just main proportions of the character should be fine no need to go in all out on detail on areas that dun need em :):) that way youll know exactly how to fit the armour around him:)

[wgreenlee1]

Yep,looking awesome here cerreto!
Keep us updated!

[cerreto]

Well i have been half assing it on this challenge thing up until now, my friend timo and i were chating and he did a great model turnaround of one of john howes designs (i beleive) so good that now i have to actauly do a decent job on the model


he may be doing some more sketches so this is both of our entries into the 3d challenge
