The story of Tweaky and the guy that got hired

[Ravennome]

Very nice, hooks all the way. Congrats. Nice work.

[MrHappyPants]

awesome, thats a great model! i think its great too that you used the forums to bring the game community together like that. I hope whoever wins the gameart comp here on cgtalk, picks a design of yours as the theme for the next comp!

[lordmachuca]

a nice model here.

but a week, but doesnt that seem like a long time to work on one character.

whats the usual time frame that a person gets to model and skin a character for a game.

for a character of that quality, thats ok.

a character can be built and textured in a couple days,
but in most cases its not going to be top notch, 100% perfect.

the model above is as close to that as your gonna get,
and a week isnt even that long

[PhilWesson]

you have inspired me to try my hand at game art

[hawkprey]

ya Louis is freaking fast!

He is modelling 3-4k characters in a day and half in some cases. I cant churn out the model sheets fast enough.

When he came to us he was doing contract work. He was modelling and texturing a character a day! From scratch! We keep telling him to slow the hell down.

ahahhaha

[CGmonkey]

that's nasty.. real nasty.
He got truck load of talent (and a caravan of hard work)

I wish him all the luck on Legend!!

[SPruss]

Cool as hell! and the texture work is really impressive! I'm inspired! :thumbsup:

[cakeypigdog]

amazing!! she looks *exactly* like your concept!! really, really excellent work.... first thing i've seen for a while thats made me feel daunted - !!
i am off to be sad and introspective for a little while :/ and then try and brush up my texture skills....i gotta a way to go with my painting after seeing this i think....

well done to you !! -as i said: really excellent!!- especially in the time frame
:beer: :beer: :beer:

[oxygen_77]

Really great work... congratulations to both of you!

[wanzai]

wicked guy. :buttrock:

me gotta be faster :insane:

[Gotham]

:thumbsup:

[Krystman]

wow, doesn't happen often that stuff from here gets plugged...

However, this model here deserves it! Looks so damn good... and the time...Man, I gotta get faster! faster, better, lalala :bounce: :argh: :insane:

[Mangled Poly]

always wondered what happened to this thread glad to see it came out so well good job to all you guys

[Digital Magi]

It would be great to see the texture file. All of us trying to improve on these skills would apreciate it, I bet.

[Neil]

My only crit of it is that in the neck and arms she looks really lean and sexy. But then the legs look kinda stocky and chubby. I think giving her those braces that make her ankles look 'fat' is what really draws my eyes to the curves.

[Chewey]

Very nice work. The only critique I'd make would be that the "bosums" appear to hang a bit low on her torso, making her appear older than what was probably intended.:eek:

[Digital Magi]

Also The lighting on the skin from the neck down seems to be brighter than the clothing.... like the two were lit separately. That's all I see changeable about it. Not every chick has to be "anime"perky in the areas of interest:D

[Astral]

Great job :)

You earned it, nothing but happiness for you :thumbsup:

[HapZungLam]

impressive, now i should dig a hole and put my head inside:cry:
i won't get as good as that... never....

[Alice]

Yeah, Great work!
As a lowpoly-newbie I would love to see the mesh and texture, is it possible for you to post them?
cheers!
/Alice

[BlueCougar]

Awesome job! Hey lets see the mesh! And for the comments already made this is actually's Tweaky's mom not Tweaky she's supposed to look like that since she's older.

[Jed]

Damn what a team you guys are gonna make !

This model looks much better than a lot of professional high poly characters I've seen. And I think he's a very lucky guy to be able to work with such inspiring concept sheets. I'm always on the lookout for inspiring concept art and I've always wanted to get my hands on one of your characters. Gonna be hard to do as well as Louis, though.
Congrats to you two. This is just beautiful

[phoenix2k]

wow... this is stunning!!! :eek:

[Roach[MXF]]

That compliments your beautiful concepts well, I love all his work on his website, very inspirational, now we have a dynamic duo you two HAVE to post anything that is legally acceptable to pimp to the public :) -Jeremy-

[Digital Magi]

I agree The concept art is awesome. I wish I could shade the way he does on photoshop

[amos_chid]

This is how lopoly should be :applause:
Amazing works, bothconcept & model :buttrock:

[Xaint]

I'd like to see the textures and the wireframe. It would be very comprehensive to know wich softwares were used for the production. And how do you guys produce a character nowdays? Do you use only photoshop for texturing?
:wavey:

[goodlag]

wow great work!

[zoomking]

:eek: :eek: HOO!COOL!:wip: :wip:

[facial]

Well done . Nice low polygon work, Post up more:buttrock:

[dtrimble]

Amazing Job! The texture makes it look cooler than the sketch!

[chudofsinister]

Man Hawkprey, whatya gotta go and post stuff like this here for. It just makes me want to shoot myself even more when I go into work.

[Waters]

Your concept art is my favorite.. really.. i saw that blue skinned girl you drew in a thread at one point, and saved it because I liked it so much, and now that i see the rest of you work..:drool: .. I am left in awe and jealousy. Great stuff, make more.:thumbsup:
