RAces of Middle Earth-Character-Pigwater

[pigwater]

this is the result of a wizards curse....a cross between a dragon and rat

named Surion-Ru from common elvish Surion-by the wind, and Rucin-to feel horror

just a generally pissed-off creature, guardian of really bad places

[Gandalf]

OMG what great pictures!!
Keep up the good work!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Remi]

Nice pigwater....really liking the concepts...which one are you gonna do or are you doing both....keep it up:thumbsup:

Wonderful concepts. Really looking forward to seeing them come into the 3rd dimension. You got to love Wizards curse's,they cause sooo much fun and trouble. Go for both charcaters. They both look wonderful.:thumbsup: :beer:

[dmonk]

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/face2.jpg

[dmonk]

looking good, but change the background or material on the model so it can be seen a lil' better.

BTW It's cold as all hell in Jersey today,with light flurries. :wavey:

[pigwater]

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/model04.jpg

[dmonk]

That's looking great so far keep it up.

[fleedawg]

Wow, looking great! I especially like the concept art, and it's turning out just like that. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[Grub]

'Surion-Ru' has a nice ring to it. A cross between a dragon and a rat that looks like a bat from hell - good concept.:buttrock:

[levin]

AWESOME CHARACTER pigwater!!!
first time i saw it..nice idea...is he gonna have fur though? cuz it would burn...
and it reminds me of bats.. fire-bats!!!
keep goin! :thumbsup:

[OZ]

fleedawg ...many mahalos...i can't wait to see it done to...too bad i can't just snap my fingers..that would be sweet

grug ...yah...i kinda noticed that..i don't see a lot of rat in it...i have no idea what i was thinkin..i tried followin the sketch, maybe when i wrote the bio i mixed a "b" with an "r" or my brain just fizzled...thanks for the input and kind words

levin ...graci, graci...no, i don't see fur, except for a little in the ears...i'm thinkin skin like on those hairless cats

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cleric01.jpg

[leigh]

Some fantastic modelling you've been doing :thumbsup: Keep it up!

[Remi]

Seconding the motion...great job...can't wait to see the finished models:thumbsup:

[Virtuoso]

Hi Pigwater..............Looking good,unique. I think a hairless body with transparent skin showing veins underneath with a bit of wispy hair could be a nice look. Just a thought.:)

It's going to be fun watching you update.:beer:

[Fetus23]

The Dragons looking ace Pigwater. The start on the cleric is also looking very promising!! Great concepts to go with superb models!! nice work....:beer:

fetus

[asela]

[pigwater]

virtuoso ....hey!!..a big how's it goin?..you ever gonna start your thread or what??..the offshore conditions are cold and flat (from what i hear) so ya got no excuses....:shame: ..i definetely see the vein action goin on with sss, but as for hair?..do mean like peachfuzz?? ..i could see that, but not really sure how i would produce the effect really...

fetus23 ...thanks a bunch...hey what happened to your entry??..i found it way back and you removed the pic...it was lookin so good to

asela ..thankx as well..do you mean the face of the Surion-Ru or the Cleric??

Here's a wimppy update to the cleric..spending time this weekend with others

[BlueCougar]

Looks awesome man.

spending time this weekend with others

Hears the faint sound of Barry White and some strange muffled noises....A man cannot live on bread alone...AMEN BROTHER! hehe :D :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see the rest...of the model of course.

[pigwater]

BlueCougar ...yah..it's hard to beat Barry:thumbsup: ...thanx for the words..i'll dropped by to see if you found the "otter with-in" yet...cheers:beer:

[Virtuoso]

Well winter swells come and go......But there's always wind surfing,para sailing,off shore boating,and jet skis to pull me from my monitors.......:drool: :p

Yes peachfuzz.......or long strands of wispy hair.Kind of like the long strands you see with Gollum in LOTR.

I am just past the design phase,and have just done a couple concepts and have just started modeling. I'll show something soon,I have quite the plan for this challenge.......I always seem to go for the extra something,it's an extra burden but worth it to me..............Well I see a big set coming in,time to hit a few and then get back in the ol' lab on the beach for some CG work...........See you after your next update,Real nice start thus far Pigwater.:thumbsup: :beer:

[leigh]

Looking awesome!! :applause:

[Remi]

Great details you've added on that update...looks like things are coming along...keep going pigwater...great job:thumbsup:

[pigwater]

Virtuoso ...ooooh...the benifits of coastal living:) :)

i'm confident that what you have been creating till wee hours in that lab under the sand will amaze


leigh,Remi ...tons thanks

[pigwater]

a little bit more...those are (will be) leather straps acrost the chest

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cleric03.jpg

[Virtuoso]

Keep working Pigwater.It's going to be a fine model. I think the two will be quite a nice entry.Fine modeling,now get to work,you can sleep after the challenge.....;) :beer:

[pigwater]

virtuoso ...thanks for the words..yah.i'm draggin this week..losin my focus & i don't know where i'm at..so the words help ...actually i just read your post again..you used "nice" & "fine"...i'm screwed;)

started playin with maps..far from final..thought it would help my ADD

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cleric04.jpg

[Virtuoso]

Now that's a face full of character. And instead of nice and fine I'll use the words wickedly off the scales cooooool. ;)

It's really got a fun look,I like the eyelids,it gives off the whole look and feel of the character very well. Both will be great I mean viscious when together. ;)

Keep going it's coming along well I mean radically off the scales.;) :beer:

[pigwater]

o.k...o.k...o.k.:) ....i'm throwin out the high scores and the lows.....:) :)

[Nurb'd]

That is kickass :airguitar

A little shiny on the skin but all in all a great unique piece of work

[Remi]

Very stylized Pig....great work indeed...really like the map on the head you have there...nice work on the viens....keep it up:thumbsup:

[Fetus23]

Hello pigwater!!..I thinK you've got a wonderful start on the body and head. Your texturs are also very nice. A suggestion for the eyelids, make them thinner with more wrinkles...they feel a little too bulky right now. I love the body so far...It looks very abused!!:thumbsup: ..He's gonna look great on that dragon man!! Keep going!

:wavey:
fetus

[Drakeotic]

That is very cool, i wouldnt want to meet that in Middle Earth, my just scare the well, you know out of me. Very CooL :bounce:

[pigwater]

Nurb'd...yah, he's a greasy mess now, needs something..thanx for the input;)

Remi..mahalos... :beer:

Fetus23...hmmm.. good point, so thinner as like distance from the eyeball?? and wrinkles where..i am working on a wrinklyer(?) map, but just crows-feet type stuff:shrug:

Drakeotic...appreciate it:)

[dies-irae]

WOW!!
this guy has an awesome lot of character!!

those eyes :buttrock:

and the body is coming along real good!!

give us more,
give us more!!

[pigwater]

dies-irae...thanks a heap..it's gettin there, little by little...by the way, beautiful place ya live in..hope to have a place there one day...i'm jealous:)

i'm tinkerin along...tweakin the model and still searchin it out...thinned out the eyelids a little...hope to have another post soon with more


http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cleric05.jpg

[Virtuoso]

Coming along real nice Pigwater. The sleepy hooded eylids go real well with him.Just keep plugging away,you already have something to be proud of. The only crit would be the skin area underneath the bottom strap looks to need adjustment,but it's WIP I know.

Yes dies-irae .........The alpine lakes area of Switzerland and Austria are extra sweet. I try and spend as much time there as possible,and if all goes well plan on even more time there, like half the year,beautiful is an understatement.:love: :beer:

Keep going Pigwater,it's looking real sweet.:beer:

[pigwater]

virtuoso ..appreciate the watchful eye you've had here..and all the comments:cool: ...it does look a little funky there..one of those things i wasn't sure about but now that you see it also i'll go push some points, as well as the scapula and a few others...gotta say CH is one of my favorite places for sure... seasonal residency would be fab...and they got the best hot chocolate of anywhere:thumbsup:



here's a nippled version....gotta fix that texture blend miss-match


http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cleric06.jpg

[Slot]

Amazing texturing work. You are pretty quick on your modeling, don´t ya?

I like your style.

Keep up.

[Mandrake]

Thats good work man. I like how "organic" your modeling
looks. Texturing seems solid, too. I'll watch this thread
:thumbsup:

[cuse]

wow! thats really really really fantastic, gotta start working on textures more when i find the time :)

cant wait to see more...



cuse

[l_farley13_l]

Ha looks really great there!! I think maybe some more definition in the lips would fit the whole toon style - the eyes are just hilarious !! The top of his head my need some varience too.

Looking forward to the rest!!

[Remi]
