Character WIP

[Temporal]

Superb job Cel, this model looks perfect, no errors whatsoever. Though I may be wrong since this is an alien.

Thanks, here are some more pics. The veins will be a little different on the opposite side of the body. I also think that I want a little more definition around the waist and ribs. What do you think? Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

close ups

Interesting model, i like it.
You should add some details on the hand, it looks too flat.
I can't wait for updates...
Keep it up :)

This is actually the part that I am most disatisfied with. I think that it is the shape of the inner part thats bothering me. What do you think? Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[RiotManZ]

.. so what is wrong with the ear? i don´t have any crits except you could use some more polys on the upper 'earline' . But hey, that´s why it is WIP.
And if you´re that unhappy with them, why not do some reptile-like ears, the just have two holes in their heads. Maybe this would be much better cause this guy has something of a snake or a dragon (does that make sense?!?)
I wish I could do such ears

Keeeeeep on rockin´

There is nothing wrong with it, I just wanted to reshape it a little. I guess your right, that is why it is a WIP. Thanks for your comments.

flamedevil

Your right. I arced the hand a little and it looks better. Thanks

Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

I just started the knees. See a few things wrong. What do you think?

[cel]

No more comments? :sad:

Cel :shrug:

[flamedevil]

The knee looks strange, you should decrease the bump of the bones on the skin (hope you understand :hmm: )

Could we see some wireframes ?

[RiotManZ]

i have to second flamedvil about the knees. they look like someone hit you character onto the knees. reducing the bump should do it.:D :beer:

[sinthetic]

Very cool body! I really like the veins you have running throughout. I can picture this character in black leather (like pinhead osrta) tight enough to see those veins, and maybe a black Dr. mask!?!?!

[dg]

Awsome work, man, congratulations!

But for my taste the veins are too symetric, maybe you could give a more organic look to the veins by doing them asymetric.

But is awsome, anyway!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

See Ya!

[JDaniel]

Nice! I like the design. :thumbsup:

[cel]

Here is a wireframe. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

Definitly right about the veins. I am still working with one half of the model, but when the overall model is done I will alter the veins so they don't look so symetric.

Thanks for your comments everyone. I'll keep trying to post updates!

Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

Another wireframe. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

Good, do you have an idea for texturing ?:wip:

[cel]

I have not thought much about textures yet. I am modeling in my spare time so I do not make huge amounts of progress. I was leaning more towards a reptile like texture. Maybe some spots, scales, patches of light/dark areas, I'm really not sure and I have not done anything except think about it. What do you think?

Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[JasonA]

looks cool cel! Those viens really add some tension to the character. And that face is something else. Good job ;)

[flamedevil]

Maybe you could add some cloth to the model...

When you model a character think about some things
What kind of character do you want to make ? Gentle? Bad ?
In what period he live ?

I think it could be a scifi character or a lotr-like monster... i don't really know :)

Think about it, take your time and if you have an idea, feel free to share.

Hope htis disorganized comment help u.
Good luck

Hey, I forgot. I posted this character at the beginning stages awhile ago. The original character sketches were of a robot. After the alien design evolved I decided to create armor based on the robot design. Here is what I've got so far for the helmet.

Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[cel]

Here is the new design. Between all of your helpful critiques, I forgot that I hadn't posted the design sketches. Sorry Cel :bounce:

[cel]

I added some more detail to the hand. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[JDaniel]

I like the head gear design. Very cool.

[cel]

Just started the back. What do you think so far?

Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[cel]

Here is the palm. Sorry for the slow progress. I am busy with other things. Thanks for your comments, please keep them coming. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[dmonk]

Hey Chip,

The character is looking good. watch the abs though. They look a little squarish and I would add the veins later so they won't be as symetrical.

Glad to see you posting your work. :thumbsup: :wavey:

[cel]

Thanks for the comments Tony. I mentioned the veins to another guy who pointed out the symmetric look. Since I am still working with one half of the mesh, I have not altered the veins yet, but I will. Thanks for the comments! Chip :buttrock: :buttrock:

[cel]

Here is a little progress. I have not updated in while but this is all I could do. Please let me know what you all think. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[cel]

The foot needs more work but here is what I've got so far. Please critique. Cel :bounce:
