Races of Middle Earth - Character - Amuzani

OK...so on to modelling.

This will be a corrupted elf sorta creature...hopefully retaining some small bits of the elvish beauty.

Here's the chest section...:rolleyes:

[Amuzani]

Woo woo...done the head.

Modelling is goin quickly so should have bigger update soon.

[Balur]

Looks good, exactly like the sketch :)

[Clanger]

Looking at the sketch, will there be 2 pairs of arms?

[Amuzani]

Yes...exactly like the sketch..hehe

Actually it'll have 3 sets of arms...I went a bit nuts last night workin on this, so here's a pretty big update. :p

Most of the modelling is done here, I just want to add a few more details. Also, the textures you see in this pic are really just the most basic color pattern i was considering...'course there's so many ways I could take this texture wise...hmmm.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[Clanger]

Looking cool.
I'm sure I went out with her once.

[OZ]

WHAAAA.....skary....ULTRA SKARY!!! tonight ill deram it !!! THE NIGHTMARES ARE JUST BEHIND THR CORNER!!!:applause: :applause: :applause: i love the skarrry things!

[Araval]

Yeah!
Excellent impression:thumbsup:
Heh - I like also your sketch... its very simple but expressive:buttrock:
Fantastic model...
Generally whole creature looks very good:applause:

[Amuzani]

Thanks for the comments!

Clanger: That must have been quite the date!

Oz: If I can give YOU nightmares...I'm happy!!

Comments are good...but what I really need is suggestions on texturing. Anyone have any ideas??

[Amuzani]

Well then...

Here's the start of texture idea #1

What ya think?

[Amuzani]

Ok...great response!?! :p

Here's another update to the texturing.

[Amuzani]

Well...if nobody's got anything to say I guess I'll toss this render in and call it done.

[Dreamwave]

no response?

it's cool, I like it, but post a bigger render!

[Kogepan]

heh. yeah, us newbies often get ignored. :shrug:

I think it looks great in a lot of ways, but the mouth is just too simple, imho. And also, maybe the lower/insect-like body is too small? The weight balance is thrown off by that, I think. Good stuff, though. :buttrock:

[JDex]

It looks awesome.

I would like to see a wireframe. My only crit is that I think the bottom sets of arms (or dare I say legs) need to be about 50% longer to make it's mobility a bit more agile, seems like a creature like that would be kinda slow...

Can we get a backstory? :thumbsup:

[Amuzani]

Dreamware: Thx..I'll post an external link in a bit.

Kogepan: Good points...newbies do get ignored...I suppose that's to be expected :rolleyes: Also, the mouth is boring...I'll work on that.

JDex: Thx...I'll attach a wireframe of the face and torso. I think I'll go more like a centipede and add even more arms..heh.
:eek:
Backstory?? Hmm..I'll add soon.

[Amuzani]

OK..here's the background story.


For many years since his corruption, Saruman attempted to create the perfect army to bring him into power. The Nameless is one of Saruman's early attempts at creating this army. A perverted combination of captured elves and various creatures of darkness, the Nameless was too difficult to control...and too dangerous, so Saruman abandoned them in the depths of Moria. Though Saruman expected the Nameless would quickly perish in the gloom of the deep, the Nameless were too cunning for this. Strengthened by intelligence and the magic of their elven blood, they began to dominate the lesser creatures and kill anything they couldn’t control. Though forgotten, the Nameless are not gone. They grow in strength and in numbers and plot their own rise to power.

[Amuzani]

Been workin on the mouth...it was too boring. Hopefully this is better. I will be adding a tongue soon.

[funnydoodle]

i like the design..... it looks like an earwig though.... somehow something tells me that this was premodeled..... just my opinion

[Amuzani]

>>somehow something tells me that this was premodeled..... just my opinion

What exactly are you implying!?!

[Amuzani]

Minor update...now has the tongue...which wasn't premodeled...adjusted the textures...which weren't premodeled...and altered the mask slightly..which wasn't premodeled.

[Hexodam]

looking good :D

texture work reminds me of blade2
