Eon (Illustration) Entry: Albert Feliu

[DDS]

finished the book yesterday at 6 AM :buttrock:

I was terrificly obsessed in finishing it, but it was too slow paced and complex, and for a Spanish guy that I am, and not being 100% proficient in english, it took me a while although the theme and environments are one of the best ever. Greg Bear has inspired me. I've got some ideas in mind.

Let's start this 2-3 month Eon, which is this nice challenge. I'll be looking for your support guys!!

[DDS]

I enter the illustration challenge because i'm sure that I wouldn't be able to match a nice animation. I'm a crappy guy and I love photoshop final adjustments! ;)

I don't have a 100% clear idea of the final image, and I don't like any of the sketches so far. Anyways, I'll be working on character design. This is Olmy concept.

Here's the model so far, I'm working on the texture.

Oh very interesting!Maybe I´d make his ears more round and make some wrinkles smoother. Anyway, looks cool!:thumbsup:

[evilpitch]

nice detail!..
I guess you'd kill that symmetry look later on.

Good luck with the texture :p

[DDS]

thanks guys! I hope I have time to make your wishes come true!

I'm about to post a 1st texture pass.

cya!

I've worked on this texture during some hours today, after finishing the model. I'm quite happy with the look, having in mind this guy is some hundred years old and has been reconstructed a couple times?

I like this conceptual image of Olmy. The weathered face and obviously "aged" skin is very intriguing at what a human of many centuries would look like. I do remember Olmy having hair. The only comments at this time is to take a more soft effect on the eyes and possibilly diminsh the presence of the nose just a bit more.

Congrats on what looks to be a very sucessful venture!:thumbsup:

This is very good model!Nice texture so far I have nothing to crit!Best to you!:thumbsup:

[nwiz25]

:eek: wow! :eek: love the details man! the SSS really rocks big time!

facial texturing .. skin folds .. expression .. awesome!

good luck dude! :thumbsup:

Hey Albert,

look there, a Frant!:) ...Pretty much close to the book description and with your own style:thumbsup: , I really like what you've made of this creature! No crits from me, now I'm just curious to see your next steps!

Cheers,

OMG ! you've got here a great head mate!
really like your design and modeling ! awesome good so far !
Only thing i've to say is about the texturing. Not bad, but i think Olmy is a confidance character. Patricia was not really afraid when she saw him, just surprised, and Olmy is link between humans and Axe citys, even if he have double side identity. I guess he must be inspire more confidance and have a less hard aspect. :) just my opinion.

Anyway, good job ! :thumbsup:

[Garde]

I like the skin texture, looks very realistic. And the modeling also seems to be spot on:applause:

But... one thing about the eyes. I haven' t read the book so far yet, that I had any idea of Olmys look. Anyways, is the skin too thick around the eyes and / or eyes too deep? Because eyes are so deep in the skin, shadows make the eyes look a bit strange.

Well, look great anyway. Keep it going:)

I've worked some more on the look

Very successful update!

Hi Albert, really good job here!

This is an idea for the final illustration. Patricia won't be black, she will be a bit frontlit, and the design of her suit will be cool but is not there yet, obviously. I've tried to play with the different composition elements a lot.
Left to right:
Lanier, Patricia, Olmy.

I've wanted to simbolize the face that Patricia wants to go home, since the moment she knows Earth is gonna be devastated. Everybody is looking at the camera, and she is walking to the gate but also gives a hint to the camera, looking at the side. Olmy and Lanier are there because they are who help her the most during the book, and in the end help her open the final gate.

this is Olmy mesh without zbrush. I hope to be done with him this next week, to be able to meet the deadline.
