Cool cool cool I wanna see more more MORE!!!!!!:D

[so_hi]

Thank you Leigh

Hopefully I will get some time tonight to do some more on him. :grin:

[Kaos]

WOW, your head is VERY good.... i like it, and think that if you get the model right, with the right textures, it may be one of the best.... he looks cute and insolent, excellent......

flicker!! flicker!!

any chance i could get a look att he control cage??

[so_hi]

Kaos I will tonight.

So, Keep watching. :grin:

[fellah]

yea! GREAT looking face! but the forehead pops out to much and the "end\bottom of the ear" is a bit to wide IMO.
really looking forward to see more of him,
work work work! :wip:

[so_hi]

Here is a unsmoothed wire frame.

wire frame of head (http://members.rogers.com/murkworks/images/flicker/flickerWire.jpg)

Connecting edge loops what are those? :grin:[

[so_hi]

This is just a beginning I only had a couple hours last night, to work on him.

http://members.rogers.com/murkworks/images/flicker/flickerheadE.gif

Go easy I know what he looks like. :hmm:

[Sphere777]

.......WOW.......... I can't wait to see more. I think the hair rocks. Compliments on the clean model.

[OZ]

GEEEEE!:D very cool!! i like it very much!!so evil!

[so_hi]

I like how everyone is all about positive reenforcement.

Makes you want to forget about work and just do the Challenge.

To Fellah The forhead will probably not be an issue with the hair on, but, I know what you are talking about (you should have seen it before). The ears I will go over some more, but, the ear lobes will stay big because it is good luck in chinese religon.

I am glad you like it Sphere777 I was worried it was looking to much like a giant merange on his head. I like sculptural hair design, a testament to my 2d roots.

OZ yes children are inheriently evil especially child gods.

[so_hi]

Not really an update but here it is anyway.

[Babatunde]

ooh nice! :wip:
3 thumbs up! I like the hair.
What does the lump on his forehead do? Is it a nubbin for a future horn? Is he a horny little dude?

[so_hi]

I finished the back.

[mrmark]

:D nice work!
i love the look of the character!
its interesting to see how little subtleties can enhance a characters expression, like how his bottom lip is slightly furthur forward for example, it makes him look like hes gonna explode you or something!

as i say very good so far keep it up:)

[maya_death]

nise work . i like it :bounce:

[Wraith]

Not me, I dont like it...... I love it :) keep that up m8, I want to see this one finished. Looking fantastic so far, love the characterisation(is that a word, or did I just spell it wrong) :)

My March Challenge So Far (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3816)

[so_hi]

I am really going for subtlety in this model (with exception to the hair design) thanks for noticing. I really hope I can go as far as rigging him and animating him before the 5th.

I really should not get ahead of myself though and get a the model done.

Anyways less talk, more work.

[so_hi]

Thank you Cgkoko you are to kind.

I hope to have more this evening, especially for Cgkoko.

EvilKroM I am glad you like the hair, it was quite a struggle for awhile, I was on the verge of scraping it a bunch of times. I am pretty happy with it now though.

Wow! First time Im seeing this. Excellent so far. Your character is very appealing.

[Zero Degree]

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
WICKED!!.. I've only got 2 thumbs in real life.. but here is 5 thumbs up to show how good I think it is.

Very Kool looking God you have there.
You've got the gift. One of the few lucky people who can effectively model a 3D character exactly the way they drew it. And because of that, I HATE your GUTS.. just kiddin..
I've seen your homepage too. Great robust looking character designs.

-------------- GREAT WORK !!! -------------

[ACFred]

Damn, this is sweet! Really nice facial features and overall slick sculpting. Double-check the thickness of the wrists. They seem a little wide to me.

Keep it up. You finish this guy and you might just have my vote.

Alec

[so_hi]

ACFred, about the wrists they are thick on purpose if you compare it to my concept drawing I intended the arms to get progressively thicker to the ends. Needless to say though, I have been wrestling with them trying to keep true to the concept and at the same time look workable. :hmm:

Thank you for the crit and for the vote of confidence.

A post like yours makes it manditory that I finish.

[Lonewolf]

I think you have way too many polys in there. You should read Bay Raitt's tutorial, it's very important to have as few edges and polygons as possible in order to make animating easier and rendering faster. For instance, all that smoothness on the biceps and the chest isn't necessary. You could get rid of half of those segments in the chest/gut and still get the same result with faster rendering speeds.

[so_hi]

I am so annoyed with all these people that are afraid of high poly models, espescially ones that don't have one poly to there name (you know who you are). I put just enough polys in to get the detail and nuance I want, if you can't deal that's your problem not mine. :annoyed:

[Cgkoko]

Nice sugestion lone wolf:rolleyes: .Maybe you should animate such a model after 'getting rid' of those edges?What do you thing is going to hapen to your model if you use less polys in the arms when you try to rest the arm to the sides?.:scream: :D
Nise work so_hi.Your model is not dense.It's nice and clean, it's funny to even think of reduction of polys.

[rebeldreams]

Ummm.. yeah, LW.. whatever... :rolleyes:

I'm a big believer in high-poly modelling myself (I'd put up the meshes of some of my characters on my website but I'm afraid of people ponting and calling me the "infinte poly guy" or something...:D )

GREAT model so far! I love it!

What are you using..? *drool*

Keep it coming, man.. I've just gotten my dream system up and running (all SGI, all the time...) so perhaps I'll be able to make it for the April Challenge..? Hope so...

[rebeldreams]

BTW.. are you going to use a "real" flame texture on the hair, or just color it up? Inquiring minds want to know!! :D

[pFodere]

very very nice man !!

i like it so much
good design and very clean model !
i hope to see it whole !

one of my favourite

[so_hi]

Thanks for the support folks.

Cgkoko I can always count on you. I personally thought I was modeling lite, for what I was trying to acheive anyways.

As for the hair rebeldreams I really haven't decided yet :shrug: , I haven't given it much thought because this is kind of a modeling challenge and I am trying to concentrate on that.

I have some ideas that I am toying with though so keep watching.

Thanks again it's nice to be supported. http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon10.gifhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

[pooman]

Lone wolf,

You mock so-hi's little god of love? How dare you critique a model when your only comment is how heavy it is. This work is both proffessional and creative, your work, although not even a cg piece is worthy of both ass and poo. so in the future please refraine from making ill comments to my friend so-hi, or you might find yourself on the recieving end of pooman in a clocktower!!

love
pooman :wip:

[so_hi]

rebeldreams I forgot to say that I am using Xsi to model with. I just started using it a month and half ago and I'm not looking back. It kind of pains me to have to use Maya any more. I probably will have to rigg it in Maya just to meet the deadline, I am a lot more familiar with it when it come to enveloping. I will re-rigg him it Xsi after though.

To patrick Fodéré I fully intend to, hope to get lots done on good friday.

To Pooman your words move me inside in away I can't explain.

Thanks again All.

Woah woah woah, I was making a suggestion that could help increase your productivity while animating and your rendering speeds, I love your character and you have a lot of skill. This is a community where you have to accept the compliments with the critiques, if you're expecting people to just stroke your ego then you're in the wrong place. Great model anyways.

EDIT: And in all seriousness I was only attempting to offer help to you in a non harsh, constructive manner (I didn't flame at all). Whether you choose to agree with my suggestions is up to you and I respect that, but if you disagree please do so in a civil, mature way. No sense in getting bent out of shape, this is supposed to be fun right? :)

[so_hi]

Lonewolf your post was the straw that broke the camels back, I was just tired of hearing that kind of thing. Your post just seemed to have nothing positive or constructive in it.

Kudos on having the guts to reply. http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon10.gifhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Thank you for the compliment.

Good Modeling to you.

Thanks for not holding a grudge, I seem to have made a lot of enemies with my critiques. Maybe from now on I should just say "Good work, keep it up."

[rebeldreams]

Ah, sweet, sweet Softimage...

I just got through setting up SoftImage and Maya 4 with RayTools to pipe the renders through MentalRay - LOVE that GI, don't get on too well with SI's modelling interface. Call me an old stick-in-the-mud. And WHY oh WHY does AW insist on using a renderer that moves at about 8mph when everyone else can implement a GI solution that can go at Warp 12?

Lonewolf - I'd like to apologise for my offhand tone. I misunderstood you, and I'd like to extend an olivebranch immediately. Call me Mr Thicky.:o

Peace and love

I like your design a lot...Good work man!!

[edaddy]

beautifully modeled . .. .. and just to let you know.... i thought your mesh was clean:D

[Sandman]

Thats a real nice model and style you got there :)

But drop that Shading/texturing thing ..

[so_hi]

stipen thanks, I like hearing from other Xsi folk.

edaddy I was trying to be very careful about that, I'm happy you noticed.

Sandman don't worry I was just messing about. I have something much better in mind.

Thanks again all.

Hey! be nice! :confused: :annoyed: :mad: :wip: wheres your stuff?
If i like a model its because its appealing on some level!

What of you? Your just mean:annoyed: mean! Sorry my spelling is bad. But not as bad as your attitude!

[dmonk]

Could you use a skin shader on him I think it would look cool and it's a lotquicker to render than the sub surface scattering shader.
anyway great model.

I love to see more people using XSI. I wish I had time to enter a challenge.

geeeee....SOO COOL!!!:cool:

[Joel Hooks]

Flicker is so subtle. Very nice style to him!

The area I see that needs some attention is the forearm and wrist, but other than that this model is very nice. Even there is not too bad, it is just a little off from the rest.

This is another that I hope continues to get updates even after the challenge is over.

[dies-irae]

VERY SAYAN-LIKE!!!!!

i love the style... the clothes are wonderful, the hairs too!
i love the face...

i'd love to have a statuette like this one on my computer table (those useless things that fill up all your space, and you lose yourself in tought looking at and your boss just catches you and wonders if you ever work...)

[stipen]

one of my fav...the design and the modelling are excellent (and you're an XSI user!!...)
You got my vote too!!

[Piz]

mmm.... Love it!!!!!!!!!! ;)


Bye
