Character A Dementor

[MakoHaze]

Awesome work!

You have botha very vivid imagination and a great sense of character design. The Dementor looks awesome! :buttrock: :buttrock:

[meats]

Hi Julian -

I love your Dementor!
Super creepy.
The cloth texture looks near perfect, although I think that the robe itself kind of falls apart around the edges, perhaps some thickness or fraying would help this.
One thing in particular throws me off a little - the back lighting on the neck area. Would light hit that area at all with the hood up like that?

Nice design and interpretation of the character (according to my girlfriend, I haven't read the book). :)

[nalhcal]

Disgusting - but in a good sorta way. Seriously if you could see that picture while reading the books it would make the idea of the dementors a whole lot scarier. :buttrock:

[JIII]

okay this now counts as oneof the pics that firightens people away from posting.

that is a totally cool pic.

[dandavis]

I love your work Julian!

[curcas]

I cant see anything!
It would be nice if you could check that.
don't think its me...

[phoenix2k]

wow, great imagination, and great pic :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Dreamwave]

aaaawsome, this ain't going to be an 'all-ages' movies if this one comes in the third HP movie ;)

[bustasnipe]

Looks great.. I think you should consider puting eyes in the character.. it will add soo much realism and make it look even more disgusting.. especially if you make the eyes sunken in and darken the region around the eye.. and of course make the eye looks grose. and if you character is blind then just give it some greyish rotten looking eyes. after that it would look scary as hell.
It will require a bit more work but it would be worth it I think.

[nanabaky]

yeah terrific ! real kind of horror i like, good job ! What about your avatar ? looks pretty cute too ^^ can we see more from the same darkness ?

[Viper.dk]

Yikes - that's nasty o_O
But excellent work. I really dig the texturing.

Rad stuff :buttrock:

Actually, my thoughts on thare are... look at the hood. It looks as if it were added in in Photoshop or something since it carries not much of the texture from the rest of the robe and it seems to not have any effect on lighting... at all.

[JulianJohnson]

hello there thank you very much every one for taking the time to comment on my work, and all nice as well thanks

in answer to "bustasnipe" I did find it hard trying to make a good looking character without any eyes, because their a very important part which makes up the face. but I wanted to stay close to the description in the book, and in the book they have no eyes.

to "meats" thank very much meats your right about the cloth,

thx again everyone and here's another pic

[Aeroplane]

:buttrock:
wow man,those are really creepy.But the concept is very cool,I like it!:thumbsup: and the modeling..texturing....the atmosphere...humm..very good!:thumbsup:

[Psycholink]

Very cool!
Can you post a wirefire?
what software you use? boxmodeling ?

:bounce: :bounce:

[mrgrimmx]

Looks cool, reminds me of Eddie from Iron maiden for some reason ;)

[Stahlberg]

Brilliant idea and design, brilliant execution, no crits! Stay with the no-eyes, MUCH scarier this way!

[machikouli]

:scream: beautiful work, i'm scared:applause:

[BiTMAP]

I think there are prolly to many wrinkles round the nose though :S

[Threedeemer]

Wow disturbing image, but thats a good thing for this particular character. :buttrock:
Compliments on your website BTW.

[tomb]

I was waiting for you to post this. What can I say, it's beautiful. :applause:

[eLm0]

great work trust me when i say your good enough to post here:bounce:

[Trivertex]

Absolutely beautiful :beer:

[OrestesMantra]

Wow!That is really cool.The texturing is amazing:thumbsup:


However, I have one small complaint: The eyesockets should be bigger(By bigger, I mean they should extend farther back into the head). Eyes are bigger than you think they are;) Another really cool touch would be if you the hole where the optic nerve goes and have some bloody chords poking out.Now that would be awesome.

Keep up the great work!!!

[Mr Stressbunny]

How inspiring!
I'm currently texturing a character - thinking on cheating on the teeth. but after your post... no way.

wat an effort.:applause:

[JulianJohnson]

Hi their, a BIG THANKYOU to everyone for all your kind comments:thumbsup:


To Psycholink I've attached a wireframe, the software I used was Maya, it was modelled with polygons using my favourite script called Connect Poly shape.

i've attached another pic

Hmmm...well, the dementors in the Harry Potter books always reminded my of the Ring Wraiths in Lord of the Rings. I think for something that gone, dreadful, and evil, his face might would be longer and even thinner. I might would even make his skin more pale to kinda refelct this undead look. Maybe consider no teeth. They look natural, but its just an idea. Maybe make them a little more rotten. Like the skin just hanging on to the bone and whatever is left of the muscles. The wrinkles are nice and the mood is also very good.

The only other thing I could say is to maybe push in the eyes a little bit more. Give them a little more shadow.

The link to your movie brings up the movie, but the movie is just a still frame. Anyone else?

Good creepy character. I am summoning my patronus right now:)

[Eugeny]

Amazing work :eek:
Some one pleas put this work on header !

[Redf]

Very nice work.Your heads are near the best of all heads out there.But still I like your Fred guy best.;) :beer:

[goodlag]

great detail work:applause: :thumbsup:

[LowEndFrequency]

Well first of all this is a sweet image as well as being from a sweet line of books. Harry Potter Rocks!

Anyways, just a bit of critique, I would use some sort of blue lighting when illuminating this guy, since the demontors are said to have an icy touch and they suck the joy out of anything they get near.... also I thought the dementors had a circular leach like mouth for when they suck out your soul.... At least thatshow I remember.

But keep up the good work, that animation looks sweet.

[nibo]

sicko!:surprised

[ChristophZollinger]

WOW, can´t wait to see the whole mesh.


a "Prost" :beer: from me

[Hickory]

I agree with LowEndFrequency about the sucker type mouth. I kinda figured the same myself. I dig yur portrayl of them though.

[alexgc]

This is some seriously impressive and inspiring work! I agree that the eye sockets need to be more sunken in but, other than that, fantastic work. Ive just looked thru ur website as well...U have so much talent!!! :insane:

[Standard Poodle]

actually, if I remember correctly, they aren't quite sockets; they're scab flesh. Looks great. I'm trying to think though, what are those things called in the American books? cuz i remember something like those, but not called dementors. or maybe they were.

[Martyr]

Hi, i know that its an old thread but i want to say the you have a great concept for this creature, i have already saw your dementor before but at this time I havent read the harry potter books and, now I know them im really impressed by you interpretation of the soul-sucker creature, im also working on an interpretation of one of the character in these books. BRAVO

Ps: your last image is my wallpaper for now...

[iaodKid]

You got serious skills bro...u should send that thing and make some serious coin off that...:buttrock:

[Darkman1A]

Julian is my Hero!

Is there any sub surface scattering going on here in your skin shader?

[goodlag]

wow

very lovely skin
:drool: :thumbsup:

[self_advocates]

Looks like someone had a very crisp image of what they wanted to create. it looks awesome and has a real foul sort of feel to it. Solid texturing and modeling. totally amazing man. damn... wish I could do that.:thumbsup:

[JulianJohnson]

Hi there. I thought this thread had finished ages ago :). thx very much to all the new posters for your kind comments :thumbsup:

To Martyyr25 thx very much for posting and i'm pleased you liked my concept. it will be interesting to see how they make them in the next film. i've got a feeling their just make them human like and not to scary

To Darkman1A any sss effect that you see was done using textures, you can see the textures on my dementor WIP page on my website.

[hhmaya]

wow very good
the texture is good!!!!!!
Can see your texture?
:thumbsup:

[rafiadrian]

you're the best :thumbsup:

:)


:drool:

[JPGargoyle]

Wow!


Great work!

Love specially the first one that looks like Michael Jackson :surprised


:applause: :bounce: :buttrock:
Best regards

[JulianJohnson]

hi there thankyou , hhmaya, solidgrafi, JPGargoyle :thumbsup:

To hhmaya you can find pics of the textures, on my website.

[JonasNoell]

Your skins and modelling is just mindblowing! It really is taking the model up to a new level! One question though: After doing the colour map you repaint all other maps from scratch or is it based on the color map. It looks to me as if you do every thing from scratch, aren't you? Ever thought about making a tutorial how to get this perfekt "skinny" look? There are thousands of modelling tutorials out there but the real skin tutorials are missing. Anyway don't want to load it on you ;)

cANt

[JulianJohnson]

thx very much cANt :thumbsup: I'm actually making a texturing tutorial now, it will cover the making of most of the maps i use and skin shading in maya, I'm quite busy, but i hope to have it up on my website in a few weeks.

[Threedeemer]

Julian_J, Great news. You have some excellent tutorials. :thumbsup: :beer:
