ARTEMIS
FINAL


http://www.gamesentry.com/loki/artemis-last.jpg



The children of Zeus and Leto, she and Apollo were born on the Island of Delos. Both are associated with the bow. Apollo is said to use the curved bow and Artemis uses the silver bow. She is one of only three who are immune to the enchantments of Aphrodite (the other two are Hestia and Athene).
She is a friend to mortals, and dances through the countryside in her silver sandals giving her divine protection to the wild beasts, particularly the very young. She rides her silver chariot across the sky and shoots her arrows of silver Moonlight to the earth below.
Unlike her brother Apollo, Artemis is not skilled in warcraft but she can punish and kill as the will of Zeus dictates.

Little bit about me:
Followed last competition and could not resist enterting this time around. I am new to the high poly stuff but have been modeling for a while so I expect to be a contender.

:thumbsup:

The picture above was made by an Artist (Keel) whome I have followed and whose work inspires me. The enviroment will come after the character but expect a forrest scene.
I had some problems with my account and was unable to post but thanks to Lil Dragon I am up and running. I will have models to post by mid to late week. You will see me around until then.

Hymn To Artemis
The Virgin Goddess of the Hunt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


O pale, cool goddess, proud and free
Roaming through woods and skies
I call upon you to bless me
With your great gift of freedom

I wish no heat of human passion
Envy, lust, or desperation
Nor the crowded streets and archways
Full of sweat and stinking masses

What I wish is virgin silence
Quiet glades and rushing water
To hunt and fish with none to follow
To breathe the cool of evening air

You have untied the knots
Which bind the stale hordes of men together
You have escaped the net
Of clubs, arenas, and crowded tables

Hear me and breathe fresh air to me
New springtime, and cool, clear winds
Heal my tired lust and send
New and chaste strength into me

Give me courage and independence
That I may break free of all my bonds
That I may follow in temple or hunt
The path you have blessed
May all my needs and desires be drowned
In your cool and running streams

I offer to you this bowl of water
Shining with the moon's reflection
I offer you incense and night-blooming flowers
White ones, delicate yet strong
Growing where no other was able
Independent, proud and free
Like you, o goddess
Heal and help me!

You've improved much since the last time I've seen your work. I guess Baalrog has been tutoring you in the ways of 3d. The model is coming along nicely.

The only comment I have is the concept piece that you're using to build your model. I'm pretty sure Keel has already built a 3D version of the concept that you are using. I would also make sure that it's ok with Keel to use his concept art because this competition is sponsored by New Riders.

Here is a link to Keel's website. One of the best game artists I've ever seen.

Great One Miyamoto -
Yes the great Baalrog has been my Master, he has taught me much in the way of 3D. I wish to one day consume all of my masters skills, it may take a while, but one can try! I have progressed much since I was the kid who annoyed you guys by sitting over your sholder. :D

The moderators already expressed a concern, so I'll wind up doing a piece a little different so as to not directly pull from Keel, unless of course he allows me to.

Already posted the link to his site... amazing stuff.

Are we going to have the privilege of seeing some Miyamoto 3D this challenge or are you going to be to busy with work?



Update coming in the morning guys - complete with hair v1.0

I loved the reference picture, but it's a shame you might get in trouble.

The nose and lips are kind of off. The bone structure of the eyebrows kind of flat compared to the Artemis painting. The way it's shaded in the paint, it looks like the forehead slopes down flat. There's no spacing between her thighs. Her crotch looks like it's getting squished by her thighs. Try checking out this site
HERE (http://www.planetquake.com/shattered/shine/images/ref/index.htm) . Has a good start of references, but I think it needs some better material to show off. But it's free, so therefore, why complain? lol

079.jpg under the Female Reference section has a few images of the female crotches you can check out and help refine your model a bit.

From what I get from the painting, her head in the 3D portion could do a much softer curve so that the top looks round. Then I'm sure the arms could use some more refining to get them as thick as the Artemis's painting.

Heh, the painting looks so good, I may try my own hand at replicating her offline myself. :-)

Good luck and keep going!!

Loki
03-21-2002, 05:08 PM

Danko
03-21-2002, 05:38 PM
looks good! :)
Something strange on the elbow but guess its heavily "under construction" yet :) . The upper lip is also too sharp near the nose don't you think? Other than that great face! ;)

thanks for the reply Danko

the nose was completly redone and still needs to be smoothed to the lip. It is a closer match to the painting because I didnt want to commit to the style till it was time... and as you can see the time is now

you are kinda seeing the elbow at a strange angle... I think it matches the concept pretty dead on... feel free to be more specific though if I am missunderstanding you.. but her biceps do need to come back a little bit

the boobies are set up so when i pose her they will sit on her body - you dont really see it in the pictures and it still has some tweaking to do

the gloves and shoulderpads im saving till they are almost done so that i gan get comments on a near finished piece... I am still trying to figure out how I am going to use your guys input to help me model better... whether I should post everyday or when I am almost done. different for everybody


the... ummm... patch down below... was added just recently and i have NO idea how I want to portray it in the model... any suggestions?

it's pretty cool but her torso looks kinda weird

keep doin what you do best :wavey:

Very..very nice so far. I think that a little work in the hips area might refine the femine aspect a bit more. Think "Hourglass". That reference image can be mis-leading due to her extreme pose.

mmmh...She start to be close to the concept! Good work loki!......:thumbsup:

Loki
03-21-2002, 10:03 PM
thanks for the responces...

sphere - ill take a look at them hips for ya... i think ive gone through 3 revisions trying to find that just right and i dont think ive found it yet
ill spend some time on that tonight

OZ - thanks dude... it will get there

Poju
03-21-2002, 10:30 PM
It's hard to say from this angle, but it seem to me that ass could be little wider or hips little upper or something in that area.

Hair looks very cool and like face a lot.

Can't wait to see more

Great modeling , like the hare (...and the boobs:p)

Loki

Update for ya all...

the Enviroment is not finished and is also LOW RES at the moment - gotta finish the tree and make the ground a lot more lush - the background is a waterfall for those who cant tell... it will be more identifiable once i have some time - it will also be tied into the chick more later (got some good plans for it)

the bow is going to get alot more detail... just gotta find the time

the arrows are pretty much done

the chick had her head narrowed... and her boobs worked on... - next is pose and shoulder pads... im looking forward to the shoulder pads

Getting cute, but still looks lika a dirty model.
Take a little time on the breast, the draw is way more rounded.
And i really wanna see the boots work. Very hard model. Good job!

Loki
03-29-2002, 12:38 AM
i got an intresting modeling idea for the boots... my polygon-attack method didnt work as well as i would hope so im going to try something different... will post when i get it working

i got the boots and pads lined up for the weekend and will have something then to show

caldeira
03-29-2002, 02:30 AM
I probabily could use MAX Displace for the boots. Its do fine. Waiting for more...:eek:

I thought geometry was the way to go... I didnt want to do small planes that didnt have any width or feeling.

I wanted to do something I have not done before - hence the challenge part ;)
