Final http://members.surfeu.fi/tero.konttila/louhi/Louhi10.jpg
Hi.
Topic of this challenge is so cool that i had to be part of it.
First i wanted to make good god, but had no idea what so i desided to make bad instead.
My char is called Louhi it cames from Finnish folkstale Kalevala:
(There is couple similar chars in contest allready, but with my skills i'm not a threat to them.)

I'm impressed!
You've certainly improved boatloads since the February challenge. I'm looking forward to watching this model grow! :cool:
Thanks for kind words. I thing i have made some progress since last month, but there is still room for improve :rolleyes:
Totich: Any suggestion about head? I have been pulling and pushin vertexes around, but no progress (well this is my second head so i dont expect much, but suggestions are welcome).
Btw. You shoud start modelig coz i'm drooling so much that my body runs out of water ;)
paradox: Thanks. I glad that someone invented "artistic freedom" so i don't have to follow original plan :p
timonthyD: Where is yours char? I just loved what you did with photosop your PAchar. There is still lot of time :wip:
Well worked little with arms and next thing is head or muscle/bone stucture(don't have slightest idea howor what, but...)
If anybody is intrested here is Kalevala in nutchell: http://www.finlit.fi/kalevala/finfoeng8.htm
And if you are really bored :hmm: here is whole thing:

hey, good job so far. You might want to look at some of the lines on the face that maybe too sharp/thin, i.e. around the nose and chin area the lines are a bit too sharp.. the eyelids are kinda strange too, but maybe this is what you are going for.
I dig the concept and the saggy breasts are super cool.

That's a hellava hard head for 2nd try!! but, maybe make a really simple version in a another file with just a really soft outline of the mass (ie. no notrulas/ eyelids, mouth) with just primitives
Then try importing and using that as a guide to soften up and add mass to the one you have. (when looking at the drawing I see lots of rounded forms in the end of the nose and chin etc)
Waiting for the update ! :D

My March Challenge So Far (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3816&perpage=15&pagenumber=1)
Thank you for all of you.
I softend most thin plases and fixed little eyes and i think it is a lot better
http://members.surfeu.fi/tero.konttila/louhi/Head.jpg
Well i leave that head alone for a while and move on to wings should i make them by extruding or separed grid?
And here is current render:

The head looks better. As for your questions on the wings, depends on what look you are going for. If feathers I would suggest maybe trying dupliverts (assuming you are still using
blender), if web like maybe extruding, not sure what you mean by separate grid. Or maybe even separate pieces joined afterwards.
Just ideas for you to explore. Your model is looking great.
Paradox
Yes Blender is still my tool, what else? ;)
Well made somekind wings, but those need lot of work tough.
I think i keep only outline of wings and constuct them with better plased vertexes.
Here they are anyway:

Somebody should give her a wonder bra for the belly button, too. It should be a little bit higher. ;)
Keep them coming! :D
Ok pushed that belly putton up a little bit.
Worked on wings little too.
Next maybe those ears or some details if my skills stretch enough.
And thanks for all helping me just being a part of this contest.
:wip: You rock :wip:

Those wings came out nice. Looks like you need a little work where they join the body on the models left side. Also what happened to the letters on the bottom of the pedisistal. He he I'm not being critical just suggestions I like this model alot.
Keep it up coming along nicely.

Wow! Looking great. Like the details and the overall look. The bumps warts on the face look nasty (good ). There is an opital illusion on the 2bumps on the chin. The first time I looked they looked like holes in the face but when I looked again they looked like warts. So not only are you doing a good model but are also a
creator of optical illusions. :)
Paradox
Thanks.
Now she can hear you. :eek:

And another update
http://members.surfeu.fi/tero.konttila/louhi/Louhi7.jpg
Poju you big bad blenderhead!!
I have been following the progress of this and I finally have to let you know that this is absolutely incredible. Awesome model guy :drool:
Is that particles on the legs? If so, very well done indeed!
Keep 'em coming!
BgDM
Thanks.
In legs are "few" dupliverts coz i think that shadows are better that way than particles.
And here is that traditional divx spin (http://members.surfeu.fi/tero.konttila/louhi/Louhi.avi)
Here is little updates for a while (got some time off work and leaving town) so enjoy:

Very cool look on the legs. Looking to do something similar on my character. The rating is deserving. This maybe just my own opinion but I think som more hard lines on the faces might improve it a little but otherwise it looks great. Have you considered modeling the feathers out or are you leaving that for the next challenge with textures?

You are too humble. You have done nice work. :thumbsup:
In fact I think everyone who takes part in the challenge deserve 5 stars just for the amount of enthusiasm and effort put it. :applause:

I agree, the quality of your model is great. I really like what you did with the anatomy, and the scale of the wings are excellent. I prefer the version with the bald lower legs. But either version works.

This is great great Poju I like the saggy wings it goes with the saggy... "Breast" ahah. The fur on the leg is also outstanding you are coming along great.
I have a suggestion you don't have do it if you don't like it. I am thinking you should show a faint rib cage.
Keep it up:wip:

thats looking awesome, the wings are done very well, good job man. plus done in blender that rocks. the fur rocks I dont really like the head but everything else rocks. i think the head looks too sunken in and if its anything close to human the eyes are about half way down the head. but thats not a big deal in the demon world
Thanks for kind words.
I hope i can find time to improve this work.
Things from to do list:
Lose those pants and fade fur to upper body.
Rib gage (made about dozen but not wery pleased of them).
Sharpen claws from legs so those fit better to claws of wings.

one more- maybe reverse the direction of the hair? Looks a little odd . . . The rest is really great, nice to see some really ugly detailed anatomy for once :) (or maybe "nice" isn't a good word :D) spend a little time on the brow region on the face and your set !!
Hi all.
Well again there is lot of things i've learned and lot to learn.
This has been great challenge and i enjoed lot just being part of it.
So thanks to all for yor guidance and sourse of inspiration
