mage of "Clan of death"

[TES]

an artwork added

[TES]

nothing?:hmm:

[error-404-]

its hard to say something ...

can you add more angles ???

(without the background ?)

[Troll]

Vey cool model. The scetch is also good.
The ear looks a bit strange tho.

[TES]

ok guys here it is
front view (http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/front.jpg)
side view (http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/side.jpg)
prespective view without background (http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/prespective.jpg)
second perspective view (http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/prespective2.jpg)

[Ramzes_II]

Very nice head I see here :D

I really liked the texturing and the shape of the head itself, very natural. Looking real, and the eyes make him look more realistic, nothing to crit except for those ears, it is the only thing that bugs my eyes.

P.S. on that sketch as I see he has one normal hand (right) and one...em, abnormal hand :D Tentacle-like hand, is that right ?

Good Luck, Keep up a good work !

[TES]

ramzes->tnx much!!
new redrawed scetch (http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/poseleft.jpg)

[TES]

some new renders
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/ren1.jpg
started working on his body
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/body.jpg

[error-404-]

ok i am not sure, but i am thinking that the eyes are too big ?
don't know how to explain the iris and the color of the eyes are too big, have a feeling of gollum eyes .

otherwise nothing to crit

[loocas]

Je to supr! Fakt prefektní model toho xichtu! ale ta textura mi poøád nesedí... dáme to nìjak dohromady a bude to ultra-cool! :buttrock: ale jak øikám... je to SUPER!:applause:

[TES]

error-404- ->still working on it:)) he will have facial animation,so the eyes will be modified....

loocas-jasny:)

[error-404-]

sorry about that :rolleyes:

[TES]

error->no problem:beer:

[TES]

head is now finished with help by loocas

[aurora]

I think it pretty nice. I like the scars on him and the tatoo. One question though, is it just me or does there seem to be a light shinning down inside his nose?

[Corn Dog]

Ya he's got a lightening bug up his nose. :) I was going to say that myself.

From face on it looks like SSS but form below it looke like an actual light source shining out... perhaps the secret of his powers?

[TES]

:D hehe......that lightening bug up his nose is GI...I don´t know how to get it out:(

[Corn Dog]

One minor thing. He has 3 scares on the one side. I was wondering if they are all from the same swipe (maybe a bear or large cat). I ask cause 2 can pass as being from the same blow, the temple one is the odd ball out.

Also is this an indication that he always turns to his left as he starts to run away? :)

[bJekX]

i like the concept very much, hope u get it right :surprised

i think the eye cavity is to large, u could check on that . besides that the only thing you should tweek is the mouth, lips are kinda strange work on them :p

keep it up man, your going in the right path

greetz

[TES]

heh:) it´s many weapons that they have many spikes or something like that.....one important thing:he has one scar on right side of his face:)

[TES]

now working on his body....will show you something if it will looks good

[loocas]

Jj, maj fakt èéèe... ten nos moc prosvítá! Myslim, že je to moc silný 3s (transluence)... ještì by to chtìlo polechtat... ;)

[TES]

concept of his chest tattoo
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/tattoos.jpg

[loocas]

Hmmm, looks perfect to me! Keep workin' hard on him man! :buttrock:

[JIII]

Great pic man. only thing wrong I can see is that the space between the eyes should be one eye width wide (when veiwed from the front). I can't tell but this might be a little bit to small. making the eyes look slightly slightly to large.

[TES]

the eyes are now "too big" because of facial animation

[TES]

hoho.....that fu*k*ng lighting bug up his nose is removed:)
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test4.jpg

[coCoKNIght]

Impressive work!
I like the eyes better like they were at the begining...

[zzacmann]

I like everything but the area right above HIS left eye. The shininess is too smooth and makes the head look plasticy. I would suggest adding some noise to the spec map to break up that band of light. Also, that reflection seems to start from right under his eyebrow and go over the eyebrow and up to about mid forehead. The shininess on the eyebrow in this area makes it look painted on. I suggest darkening the eyebrow areas, or at least where the individual hairs are, in order to prevent this. Other than this, looks great. The eyes are great. Not too big in my opinion.

[TES]

tnx for C a C.....will do something with that:scream:

[Hickory]

Is the face texture pieced together from a picture of someone? There is a line running down the side of the nose that is bothering me. Also there is no shadow in the nostril. is is kinda bright. try darkening the skin texture a bit in that area. As a whole he looks pretty cool. His skin does look a bit shiny though. Hows a bout a spec map to help break up the shiny patches and give the skin a more natural look?

[TES]

worked today on specularity map and translucency......I think that the head is finished now...what do you think?
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test5.jpg

[Darius43321]

looks good...i think he looks like the guy from fable tho

[TES]

worked on his "chest jewel"

http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/j3.jpg

[loocas]

No crits for now man! ;) looks good!

[TES]

worked today on his arms......so i think it´s finished.....now "only" textures:thumbsup: write some CaC if you have some
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/body1.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/body2.jpg

[loocas]

Great modeling man! But I think, that both hands need to be remodeled! Not completely, but the big fingers look tiny comparing the rest of the hands! ;)

[TES]

started texturing his body.......not much time for this now
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/body3.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/body4.jpg

[coCoKNIght]

Looking great! Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[TES]

coCoKNIght->tnx:) this is my biggest project

[coCoKNIght]

If you want something to improve, I think something's wrong with the wrist... thou I'm not sure what it is...

[TES]

ok....I´ll do something with that:)

[silv]

put some more specular on his lips... or you should make him more blue or smth because he is a priest of death, and he should be kindda dead....

ok now how sick can he be to do that piercing to his nipples. :eek:

all in all it looks great

[TES]

ending with his head.I don´t like to make him looking too much dead:shrug:
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test6.jpg

[TES]

worked a bit on his body texture
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test7.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test8.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test9.jpg

[loocas]

Well, lookin' cool, but couple of crits here. I think that the proportions of the body doesn't fit to the proportions of the head? Head should be a bit bigger. And the second crit, the M. Teres Major should be more complex and should start from armpit and end to almost half of the torso. Anyways: COOL! :applause:

[TES]

those disproportions are made by camera......the model is OK
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test10.jpg

[TES]

working on his shoulder armor
I will by happy if you write here some CaC

http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/sh3.jpg

[loocas]

Whoooa! Awesome piece of armor man! Looks very rough and cool! No crits on this bit so far, keep it up! :buttrock:

[TheLegend299]

Nice model but the arms are too long a little to wide

[JBoskma]

Good stuff dude, the head looks great, only his expresion should be more sorted out. Like set him on angry, not on this half stoned chicken look. Also the neck seems prety wide, for the rest ace stuff! Not sure bout those niple rings though ;] heh

[Wizzard]

texturku vyladime ;)) jenom makej dal, je to na dobry ceste, jenom mi pripada to telo malo vymodelovany

keep working! looks cool :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[omega-0nd]

think the proportions og the head could be better, i mean eyes coul me more up and ears too...i think u should fix the nose, the nostrils are a little "flat" by me and too much symmetrical, u should add some more chaos to all the model.

The proportions of the body too need some adjustments, arms are too long (or head is too small) and u need to add some details to the whole body, expecially the back and the arms

btw, great work on textures...keep goin' on, i think u're crossing da right way! :)

[BlackMedusa]

really nice tattoos design

keep up the good work:thumbsup:

[Syrogen]

whoooooa! nice piece of armor :applause: keep it up! i want more :beer:

[TES]

hoho:) tnx guys for your posts......worked today a bit on armor textures.....
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/sh4.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/sh5.jpg

[TES]

i would modify his arms a bit and "unsymetry" his face today ........

[TES]

modified body parts-arms,neck and head
i think it´s better
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test11.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test12.jpg

[TES]

worked on his boot......
every CaC is welcome
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/bota.jpg

[TES]

some wire
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/wire.jpg

[Syrogen]

lol, youre giving him sneakers!??! imo i dont think it really.. fits him

[TES]

whats the problem man?:annoyed: look at the concept on 1st post......he has some sport boots in the concept..

[TheLegend299]

erm I only get red crosses

[TES]

i see....its some web hosting problem:(i dont know what to do :annoyed:

[TheLegend299]

Well I hope it gets fixed I wanna see the updates:buttrock:

[TES]

its worknig:)

[TheLegend299]

Looks much better now that the proportions are about right:scream: :applause: I love your textures. Is he going to be some sort of modern day cult mage?

[Syrogen]

yeah, i did notice that in the concept drawing, mabye some type of background story would give people like me a better understanding :S although modern day cult does sound right

[TES]

heh some story about him......I have one ,but with my bad english it will be a problem.......you´re right......he´s a member of some modern cult that is worshiping(i don´t know that´s the right word)to a really old god-Saletaren.If some member wants to get higher in the cult hierarchy,he must fight with some more skilled priest.If he wins the fight he cut off his oponents head and fix the head on his staff and get a white colored mark on his arm.Priest have many tattoos-skulls,tribal tattoos....They live in demolished cathedrals.More info will be added..i wish that you understand to me:shrug:

[TES]

working on his pants
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test13.jpg

[loocas]

YEAH! :xtreme: :xtreme: :xtreme:

[Wizzard]

n!CE SHOES :bounce: keep workin' man!

[TES]

i´m getting really mad becouse of simulating his clothes....using stitch plugin........now trying to simulate his cape and it goes everitime through his head.....i don´t know what to do with it....trying everithing,but no change:cry:

[loocas]

Well, I think you should manage with standard max tools? Such flex etc... are?! NOPE? Ok, just kidding man... :p Hope you'll manage that soon, 'coz I wanna see more! :airguitar

[TES]

standart max tools?:) youre a good joker:))

[Wizzard]

work faster man :wip:

[TES]

wizzard....i know but i must to learn a bit for my last exams....i will work on him this evening and try to do his clothes-how is it on concept art

[TES]

some new updates
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test14.jpg
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test15.jpg

[coCoKNIght]

Ouch, doesn't that hurt? :D Great work! :thumbsup:

[TES]

today started working on details....
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test16.jpg

[TES]

it´s really bad if noone posts:((

[Killerj]

hehe..I don´t know if someone has already mentioned and what is your purpose in this issue but those shoes are pretty odd.. how are they link up with this character...otherwise nice job!

And btw - this is "elite s**thead" - forum where nobody says nothing reasonable - they just look at the best works and say "nice dude that´s awesome"...you know.

[TES]

Killerj ->youre right......everione looks only on well known names like -Strike,OZ,Leigh and so no....

but what can i do with it:shrug:

[loocas]

Hey, not bad so far... keep it up dude :p

[Menge]

that is very goood dude!

those rings to hold those pieces of cloth must really hurt!

but... aren't his hands a little too big?

keep it up!

[TES]

his hands are too big?i modified it once :( so i will do something with that.......i must have some wrong references:shrug:

[mawashi]

hi TES,

Good work so far :thumbsup: keep it up!

I noticed that the muscles between the pecs and deltoids are a bit weird, no? If I'm not mistaken, there should be some more definition where the chest meets the arms.
But I'm not that good at anatomy, so... you better check some reference pics first before modifying anything, hehe.

A bit about the concept, isn't it a bit hard to tie a shoulder armor to the waist? I mean, if I were him, I'll tie it around my upper arm :shrug: It won't move that much that way, right?

But it's your concept, you should have freedom with it :)

Good luck with the project!

[TES]

got some time to work on this project......worked on his hair,eyebrows etc........today worked a bit on facial expression.....
this weekend i will pose him and start working on env.Will post some sketches of the final scene
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/test17.jpg

[jayjun]

Okay i know it's past the modelling stage but ...

.. shouldn't the chest be joined to the top of the shoulder?

[TES]

worked on his staff......showing some first test renders
....wish that you like it...if you like post some CaC ....
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/3.jpg

[TES]

http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/zidle.jpg

[loocas]

Hey! Totally AWESOME dude! really wicked design! Keep it up! But don't forget about our leaving exam! :buttrock:

[TES]

loocas->tnx much!!!leaving exam?:) it will be ok.....i wish:)

[S_3D_A]

[Lukashi]

[Teyon]

Ouch...that might leave a mark. :) Nice work!

[Grub]

Great character work, TES.:buttrock: The staff looks cool too.:thumbsup: Howsabout a cushion for the chair...

[TES]

grub->tnx for your post!

[heipei]

Man, you are sick ;) That head on the lance (dont know the word) and his facial expressions and his eyes. Looks like a flash-picture from some horror or splatter movie.

But, this is really a great piece of work, nice modeling, texturing and facial expressing. The chair looks really really interesting, with the hands. Love the style. Keep it coming!

regards, heipei

[TES]

heipei ->i´m sick?:) thank you much:) really......

[TES]

after a long time I´m back:) my final exam passed and a can continue on this project

started working on env...here´re some render....just only test..must work too much on lighting and textures...
http://tes.euweb.cz/mage/6_glow.jpg

[loocas]

Hey man! It looks great so far! Reminds me a bit of Half-LIfe style! ;) BUT! The main light source seems to be placed under the main round window, that's flapdoodle! 'coz sun should never set so low! And another thing of lighting in your scene: sun rays won't ever spread to Cone! They would spread rather to Cylinder! Ok for the textures, I know you'll be working on them, so no crit so far! :thumbsup:

Keep this good job UP man! Keep it up! :buttrock: :xtreme:

[TES]

tnx loocas..i need every help....

[TES]

rigging finished......so enjoy first posed image....
wish that you like it!!:bounce:
P.S.-it´s only quick test-without HDRI and SSS

http://www.tes.euweb.cz/mage/posed_1.jpg

[TheLegend299]

Wow that is great looks sinister and evil perfect pose and I love the eyes. The only thing I would say is that the trousers need more wrinkles in them they are really letting the rest of the model down.

[TES]

TheLegend299->i know...trausers and the skirt needs more modeling..... i did it simple for rigging...now i will add some details...thanx for your feedback!:beer:

[TES]

so it´s 2:40 in the morning and i have finished modeling of the trausers and skirt.....i think that´s finished and i can place this character in the "final" scene...

http://www.tes.euweb.cz/mage/posed_2.jpg

[TES]

no feedback? :sad:

[error-404-]

hey nice work :bounce:

there is only somthing which strike me .

the position of his left arm seems strange? it could be flex.

nice modeling and nice texturing. Now lets see him on his environment :thumbsup:

[Darakusan]

Perhaps because of the wrist???
hmmmzz couldn't see really clearly here.

But nice work on the pants ;)

[Mentat7]

Wow....Pinhead look out! :thumbsup:

[Sylfurd]

Great, great, great work!! Fantastic texture, model and concept!!!
Want another perspective for the whole body!!
:thumbsup: :drool: :applause:

[Sylfurd]

Great, great, great work!! Fantastic texture, model and concept!!!
Want another perspective for the whole body!!
:thumbsup: :drool: :applause:

[TES]

thank you very much for your feedbacks!!!!
Sylfurd->i would render some more for you:)

but i have a really big final rendering problem!
:cry: i´m using brazil RS 1.03 and when i render whole scene many parts ot the scene get wrong basic self illuminating colors - red,blue..... i don´t know what to do with it....i tried to merge the whole scene to new scene,but no change :(

[ZeBoxx]

zöh

Well, upgrading to a more current release could very well help. The latest version is 1.0.14 and we're working up to a1.2 point release.

Barring that, though - are you using a (mapped) skylight ?

[TES]

but that rendering problem came yesterday:( it is first time when brazil renders shits....

[mage111]

First time ive looked @ this thread, and i must say TES you've done a brilliant job here.

i really dont have too many crits to poiint out.

- the left thumb looks like a finger, like to me it doesnt look like a thumb (hard to explain, but i hope you get what i mean :/)
- the right pant leg just below the skirt looks very flat, then as it goes down more there is a sudden change in it looking more rounded... is that natural?

this is more of a little suggestion to think about.
putting some long patches of worn hair on the skulls head would look kool (and raise the eww factor more :p), the way im thinking. lol but its not important, just a thought i had.

i love it though man, with the minor details that seemed weird to me, i really like it *thumbs up*

[mstl]

Takz ti to musim pochvalit na cgtalku,ne? Snad nevadi, ze pisu po cesky.

Je to very very NICE work :buttrock:

Uplne :drool:

[TES]

thanx for your advices!!
mage111 ->thank you much for your advice!!i´m really happy that you like it ....... i wish,that my next worx will be better..i really need to learn rigging...

mistle->diky kamo:)) uvidime jak dopadnou ty nase....kazdopadne takovejdle uspech sem opravdu necekal!!!

so here is my rendering problem....if anyone who is looking in this thread knows how to fix my problem....so please!!!help me!!! i will by really happy....i´m using Brazil rs.....i tried to reinstall 3Dmax and all plugins which i had installed-brazil,shaq hair and phoenix...

so here are the images

Tes: Musime byt nejlepsi :bounce:

Pak to oslavime a pekne si :beer: .
Fandim at ten final co tvoris ma jeste vice uspechu...musi. Si nejlepsi :thumbsup:

[loocas]

Damn man! That's really great! But, don't forget about composition man! The way you wanna us to look at it is a bit out of the way! but I know that this is just another step in long journey to the final product, isn't it so?! ;)

Tahle vìta mì stála mozek a dál to anglicky už nejde... :thumbsup:

[TES]

thank you guys....:beer:

so here is a small render....in final scene will be a bit of fx..
please write some crit....i like to make this scene my best work

rendering takes about 39minutes......
http://www.tes.euweb.cz/mage/env/4.jpg

[error-404-]

no shadow on the bridge from the mage ?

his left sneak is very white maybe too much light

on the bottom left of the image the green part seems to be strecht

i have the feeling that the mage is put on the bridge but not really integrated in the environement

I hope that i help you and that U anderstand my frenchglish :surprised

[TES]

error-404->i undrestand you:) my english isn´t good too:) i figed those bugs.....now i´m rendering final image....i will se what needs more work

[TES]

so i have finished the scene.....here is final image...
so enjoy!!!http://www.tes.euweb.cz/mage/final2.jpg

[loocas]

It looks cool! But I'd not consider this as final man! 'Coz of those volumteric-like fx! For example the fog (or whatever it is) looks very cheap compared to the rest of the scene! And that fire in his right hand is very odd! But this is just my opinion :thumbsup:

Otherwise: AWESOME! :buttrock:

[coCoKNIght]

Yeah, I would play some more with the lighting, otherwise very cool pic and great wip, congratulations! :applause: :thumbsup:

[tyio]

COol, but the spears seems to cross the chain :scream:

[error-404-]

optical effect tyio

;)

[Lukashi]

Hey tes! I think you are done with the modelling and texturing stage. The image looks great, but u still have some work on the lighting and posing part. Im not too great at that so u might wanna post it in the focused critiques section to get some hard criticism on the lighting and how u could make it better. I Think he should hold the spear differently also because in this render u hardly notice the bloodyness of the head. :wavey:
