[RockinAkin]

The first one is my favorite.
Looks very sleek and original.

Cant wait to see some more!
-DivideByZero-

[p4b10]

TNX Divide, i'm doing more concepts in the way of the first character... but more elvish. :D (not from Elvis, from elve) hehe

[Dirk_P_Ho]

I second the motion on the first being the better of the two.
Nice stuff ya got goin there.

[Faraguay]

Hombre! Un paisano! Que tal? mola la idea del concurso, eh?
Bueno, tus dibujos tambien molan. A ver que terminas modelando...
Personalmente me gusta el primero. No preguntes por que...

Y nada mas, que me alegro de verte por aqui.
Que tengas buena suerte.
Seguire tu evolucion!

[leigh]

Wow, both those pics are awesome :thumbsup:

I think perhaps that you should go for the first one though :) There are already loads of bulky creatures in the challenge, and I think that your first character looks more authentic :D

It actually almost seems to be feline - it would be cool to create something that is slightly catlike... Very agile and swift, perfect for a warrior :thumbsup:

[p4b10]

...just another one, this is an Ice Golem that lives in the Misty Mountains...

[Gandalf]

They are all awesome, the last one is my favorite.

[p4b10]

One more concept, this is the dark elve...

[leigh]

Wow, you sure are a concept creation machine!

[lazorwolf]

i like the ice golem!! awesome. i think there should be no dark elves allowed. if there were, everyone could just use warhammer characters :hmm:

[p4b10]

Yes, i'm not sure if the dark elve is too much based in an existing race but.... hehe....soon i'll post another one, and think it will be the concept to model :lightbulb

[freddylierman]

owesome scetches man,
I like the first one the most.

keep it up :thumbsup:

[p4b10]

TNX Frederic....mmmhh... seems the first one is the most popular.

working in more concepts.... :wip:

[p4b10]

...at last, i think i'm going to do this one...

They are "Tritons", Valar descendants. They live in humid environments like swamps, have lungs and gills, so they can breathe underwater.

They are incredible hunters, agile and strong, with membranes in hands and feets to move underwater. They are hard to see, move quietly and their skin has the attribute of changing colors depending on the enviroment... :airguitar

[Clanger]

I don't believe it, how can one person produce so many cool concepts.

I do think your going with the right one though, unless there's another six on the way!

[nadeemmar]

what great concept you got there.....:eek: :eek:

go for it maaaaaaan

[dmonk]

awsome work man!:wavey: :thumbsup:

[fleedawg]

I like all of your concepts, the first one and the Ice Golem the best. The Triton is really nifty, but I prefer the others more. I think the Ice Golem is my favorite, but I don't know why. :)

[NANONEEN]

great concept polart !
I think the first design is the best !
on the last design, you should desaturate de green color and add some texture on the skin in my opinion!
sure, I will follow this thread !
:applause:

[Faraguay]

I like your last idea. I think you should go for this one. Interesting background.

About the sketch, NANONEEN is right, i think.

I think this character has a lot of potential. I like the style in your sketch.

Good luck with the modelling!!

[p4b10]

TNX fleedawg, dmonk, nadeemmar, Clanger ... :beer:

This is the bad thing about doing 3 or 4 concepts, you've got to choice!!!

Nanoneen & Faraguay: think you're right , i was tired last night...
i gave him the general look, but if i have time to texture it i will add more skin details... :wip:

Big Thanks to all :D :D :D

[p4b10]

Some head sketches... :wip:

[p4b10]

A pair of poses... to fit the mood of the character :bounce:

[Apt Pupil]

Very nice concepts, I too like the lizard man. When you say you are going to add skin details, does that mean he will be totally be covered with scaly skin? Then this guy would certainly be something to see. I can't wait.

:beer:

[bentllama]

I really dig the style of your Triton. I am looking forward to seeing more.

[Koma]

the triton was my prefer ,he have a great looking ,but man wow you did awesome concpet ,now let see some 3d ....:wip: :wip:

[p4b10]

Starting the model....

:wip: :wip: :wip:

[dmonk]

Great start!:wavey:

[p4b10]

Thanks for your comments!!! :beer:

Here is the base low poly mesh, i'm just starting to refine it!! :wip: :wip:

http://www.iespana.es/mental/rome/m03_web.jpg

[Joril]

Whoa, I can't believe I mist this thread!
Awsome concepts you have there.
The Triton looks great!
I can't wait until you turn this into 3d - good start btw :D
Have fun!

[Hexodam]

Marking this for later

looking very good:p

[Faraguay]

Excelent base model I think. You should keep more clean your mesh though , if you're aiming for a 4-vertex-mesh.

I don't know why (apart for a correct meshsmoothing process) all the polys should be rectangles... This is driving me mad to keep a mesh with rectangular polys. If someone can spread some light about the subject... I'd apreciate.

Mucho animo que ya tienes lo mas dificil y esta genial.

[p4b10]

Thanks for your support, guys.... and excuse me... there hasn't been an update since.... :surprised

but... :beer: i've re-builded the torso, the edge loops were very confusing and difficult to make good musculature... so now i think it's better and all quads....

i'm now refining it and adding details...

hope you like the progress.. ;) (the green is only to contrast the figure, it not will be the final color)

http://www.iespana.es/mental/rome/m04_web.jpg

[p4b10]

A long time without an update... :surprised

i'm starting the head, don't know if i'll have time to texture it, i would like to make the model very detailed... :shrug:

http://www.iespana.es/mental/rome/h01_web.jpg

[p4b10]

the low poly basic control mesh for the head,... i've to be quick if i want to finish this one !!!!

[OverIguana]

I'll echo what everyone else is saying: the concept is great!!

keep going on the modeling it looks awesome so far :airguitar

[Joril]

Congratulations on the clean wire. The character is looking great so far.
It's a pitty if you won't be able to finish it though :(
But It's good to hear you won't abandon it after the challenge.
I will stay tuned :)
