[Virtuoso]

Hi Kokoro...............Nice to see you in. So you have taken the Zbrush plunge eh..............Still working with animation master?

I have also added Maya unlimited to my arsenal,it's a real nice thing to have alonside Max.:)

Looks like you have a pretty good start with Zbrush thus far,I'll watch you progress from here on in. Good luck,and good start already.:beer:

[Mentat7]

Great start Kokoro!! I noticed you registered at ZBC too. Keep up the good work buddy! :thumbsup:

[kokoro]

virtuouso - hello, to you. well in the moment i dont do anmation master. i was so angry about these 1000 crashes.... zbrush is my choice now. its so intuitive , i just like it.

mentat7 - thanks for the wellcome. will do my best;)

[Rye]

very creative concept kokoro! I really like the head of the brainigan, and the body of the dog, but i cant help feeling as though the dog would tip forward in that stance. Maybe make the legs a little beefier? Leaning him forward will give it a more ferocious look for sure, so keep that like it is :) Good job so far, cant wait to see the progression of a zspheres model

[zued]

:beer: ... another multiuser.. :D great start!
( Im using Zbrush, AM, wings, Cinema4D,.. and sorry lightwavers just sold it. ;))

[kokoro]

Rye - thanks for the hint. i will redo the pose of the dog. but later. i first try the brainigan. here is the idea of the scene i have in mind...

[kokoro]

as you can see - i had problems with putting a shirt on her. she was too high poly for my poor comp, so i could not model cloth on her directly. thus - i restarted her as adaptive skin from the spheresmodel. thats how far i got...

[kokoro]

i started texturing her head

[kokoro]

and from her backside...

[Virtuoso]

Having fun with Z-Brush Kokoro...Yes you are.;)

It's looking good,I like the cave scene set up as well.Keep going with this,it's got a good dose of potential.:thumbsup: :beer:

[kokoro]

yes, virtuoso, i really do have fun with zbrush... hope i get the cave scene as it is floating clearly in my mind... am glad you like the idea.

[kokoro]

i was very busy last time. hope i make it in time.

i changed the body again. was not satisfied. this is done with zsperes with the new attractor spheres.

oh they shrinked the size for attachments even more.... sorry for the poor quality.

[Satyricon]

Kokoro is the man!!!:buttrock: How are you doing my friend? You have done a realy good job here buddy! :beer: I can't wait to see even more!!!:thumbsup:

[kokoro]

hi Satyricon - nice to meet you again. here is some more update. i worked on the dog. again, i remodeled the whole. the first one was to cartoony. the face is close to finished, the body obviously needs a lot of work....

[kokoro]

worked on the dog. its not perfect, but i think its coming along the way i want it to....

[Satyricon]

Hi Kokoro! The dog is coming along very very nicely!!! I like the expression on his/her face!:buttrock: Keep up the good work buddy and give us some more eye candy!!!:bounce: :bounce:

[kokoro]

i started working on the final scene. the caves were too distracting. thats how far i got...

[Grub]

Hiya Kokoro, your winged woman and her pet make an interesting pair. She's pretty funky.:thumbsup: I reckon the wings might have been better if they were feathered instead of silvered - don't know if you've time to change it now, though.

I also checked out some of your other challenges out of curiosity. My fave is the 'Extreme Sports' one.:D

[kokoro]

hey grub - yeah feathers are a nice idea ! hmm, may be i can find the time...

[kokoro]

i worked on the background. may be this is close to final... but someone gave me another idea... which i want to try also

[JoeConnolly]

I realy like the colouring on this image.Almost looks like a soft Watercolour.Very Nice.

[Grub]

Hey again Kokoro, took a look at your background. Very nice.:)
Never mind those feathered wings now, they'd take a lot of doing. Bat wings would've been better, but nah - the metal wings look kind of ornamental, anyhow.:D

[kokoro]

hi grub - you gave me a nice idea, with your description how you see the image: i build a neat mask for her - its just zspheremodel - , so she is now very good protected, not only by the dog...

yes, you are right. the feathers were too difficult for that short time. it´s a pity. but her body with the wings is an adaptive skin from a zspheremodel, so making feathered wings, means changing the model by adding new spheres, and thus i would need to repaint the whole texture...

the mask:

and the final composition
