Challenge WIP - Pentagramma

[el gatto]

I don't see your pictures !! :(

[Pentagramma]

Strange; they seem OK to me....:confused:

It could be a "Geocities" situation - I´ll upload them to another site, and edit the post, ASAP.

[alben]

cool looking dude.

[marioucci]

hey penta,
i cant see it either..
fix it quickly man!!!
cant wait to see it:)

[pascal_blanche]

you can see them there: http://www.3dluvr.com/camargo/wip/

grate style pentagramma , very bug like, actually the only character with wings that fledge asked for .. btw.. fledge, how things are goig? anything to show to your friends?:D :D

[marioucci]

thanks for the link pascal:)
pentagramma,
great character man!!! the design is very well put together and his head is very original.
what are u planning for him next??

[Pentagramma]

Thanks, folks! :)

I´m trying to use every proposed characteristic for the challenge, in a not so humanoid design.

The "bone" structure in the head is something like a ressonance box, and I suppose he uses it to generate high-pitch sounds. It´s not really made of bone, it´s more like a mollusk shell.

The tall guy comes from a low-gravity , dense atmosphere enviroment. Even so, I suppose he can´t fly with those small wings, but maybe they can help him in huge jumps - when the need arrives.

Logan, I´m planning his wardrobe right now, probably something that leaves a lot of skin exposed. I´ll try a pirate-like wardrobe, with maybe a few twists.

Pascal, thanks for the help with the link... but I really would like to show the images right on the post. Any suggestions??
:(

[marioucci]

pentagramma,
try here :
www.hpg.com.br
they allow image links in there and its free!!

[Golgoth_bla]

very good design... nothing else to say
maybe put more.... humanity
he look more like a creature and not like a character

[Pentagramma]

At last, it seems like it´s working (the direct link to the images).
Sorry for all the trouble, folks...


(Valeu pela dica, Logan! :D )


Golgoth_bla, thanks! And I totally agree with you - he looks just a creature, without clothes and gadgets.

I´ll focus on that, next.

[Pentagramma]

Hi there...

Here´s a small update - one more in a couple of hours! ;)

Started working on the clothes, and a little bit of Ray Diffuse for good measure...

[pascal_blanche]

nice! it's gonna be the wierdest character of all :D :D

[epatnor]

Great character! Some weird/cool dude..! Very nice indeed :)

[Pentagramma]

Thanks a lot, Pascal & Epatnor!

But, weird? Really, guys, what´s so weird about a six-eyed, four-winged insectoid pirate?

(As a matter of fact, we have lots of them here in Brazil! :D )

[marioucci]

man ure creating one of the coolest characters so far man:)
and one of the funniest too!!!
keep it up!

[Pentagramma]

Valeu, Logan! :D

And thanks, for inviting me to the Challenge. It has been a great experience so far .

Just looking at the other entries is very educational - I hope someday I can do a work so nice as one of those beauties! :) :)

[Pentagramma]

[Joebount]

Excellent ! I really love the sword. :)

[Pentagramma]

Thanks a lot, Joe! :D

[marioucci]

wow man!!!
what can i say about that sword!!!!
beautiful, very stylish!!!
very tim burton(ish).
i love it:)
keep it up man!!!

[Pentagramma]

Thanks Logan! :D

I haven´t tried to emulate Tim Burton style - at least, consciously. It happens he´s really influential to me (like Giger, Barlowe, Gilliam, and others).

But I confess: I specially love his style. Love those non-symmetrical spirals, nauseating color stripes , bug-eyes and such...
Wish I could create a character as cool as Vincent, or Beetlejuice, or Jack Skellington, or...


Is there a doctor (or a genie!;)) in the house?

[goodlag]

it looks cool!~

good work

[pascal_blanche]

nice sword :D

[Pentagramma]

Thank you guys! :D :D

BTW, my next update will take a few days - lots of things still to do ...

[epatnor]

I still think that you have one of the best designs yet... :) :) :)

[Pentagramma]

Patrik,

Thanks! I hope you enjoy what I´m working on, right now... :D :D :D

I expect to have a reasonable update by the end of the week - and maybe I can give a few anxious fellas one more reason to nuke Brasil! ;)

And what about you? When are you entering on all this fun?

[epatnor]

I'm not. Check out my reply in the Challenge WIP: KFC thread... I just love to bug you guys! :p

[Krep Suzeth]

Hi !

Its the most .... surprising fellow of the contest !

Great modeling ! The sword is very very nice, great design !

You told about an update before this week end .... :D Waiting ....

Krep

[Pentagramma]

Ahoy! :)

This is my new update... I just added the prosthetic wing, and I´m working at wardrobe right now. I really would appreciate any feedback, positive or negative.

I´m specially concerned with the "friendly factor". Does this guy look like a, well, guy, or I´m still at creature/monster territory?? :confused:

Krep: Thanks a lot for the "surprising"! Hope you like this one... :D

( Please notice he´s armless on the images, for display purposes)

[Pentagramma]

Fellipe,

Thanks a lot! I specially appreciate the compliment coming from you - you´re one of the better and faster modellers I know.

I´m still worried If I´m on the right track, on this. Any comments/crits are welcome, OK? :) :)

[Krep Suzeth]

Hi Pentagramma ! That's great !

I really like the concept, and the humour !
Good modeling, nice details....

Love it !

Krep

[Joebount]

Kick ass ! :) Just add a mouth maybee.

[Pentagramma]

Krep and Joe - thanks a lot! :) I´m really glad you guys like it...

And, Joe - I agree with you, the mouth could be a nice touch.
Actually, I had tried something like that already, but it wasn´t working at all. I´ll try another kind of mouth...

[stark-001]

Bravo ...

1st Post here...

[Pentagramma]

Hi there Stark-001,

Thank you - I hope you enjoy what I´m planning for him next!

And thanks, too, for "wasting" your first post with me... :D

[stark-001]

dont thank me
Heya !!! Cool !!!
:D

[Pentagramma]

Hi everybody,

I would like to let you know that I´ll probably miss the deadline - I have too much work around here... And that´s sad, because it was a very nice experience so far.

Anyway, thanks a lot to everybody who made sugestions to my WIP : you guys are really cool!
And rest assured that, ASAP, I´ll complete it, and post it - even if at the regular 3d artwork section.

To the other challengers, good luck, and have fun! :)
