DWIII - 3D - medunecer - thalujis

[medunecer]

First sketches. I think she'll be an invoker. Still working on it...

[medunecer]

...more sketches...

[medunecer]

...still working around the idea...soon details!

[Trybal]

Looks good. Perhaps give the ornament on her back a larger base. At the moment it looks like it would break off too easily in a fight.

[Ferx]

Hey Marco, relly cool sketches! I like a lot the eyes "tattoo" idea. The artifact on her back looks great, and the "ninja star" style on the blue disc is simply great. For sure looking forward for the progress on your concept my friend !! Cheers :beer:

[medunecer]

Trybal: Thank for the comment fellow! I changed the nature of the "roots" on her back. Now they come directly from her back because she's a mutant elf. But maybe this ornament is still too thin...will see it during the modeling phase.

Ferx: Hey Fernando! Thanks for your words. I hope you like the new developments my friend!

[medunecer]

Her name is Thalujis. She's a mutant elf invoker. She uses two magical axes as powerful artifacts.

The magical energy type of the axes is Vegetation. She uses this magical energy to move mould

and spores against her enemies, crossing the axes in front of the roots blended with her body.

Roots and axes have powerful gems. When alligned, these gems create the energy.

[Trybal]

It's looking good. Definitely include vegetation shapes to the axes. Like the handles are roots and the blades branch out from them or something. :)

[SteevieWoo]

Ha! that's a reallyt good artifact mechanic, I can clearly see it happening in my head, that's cool.
Also she looks really menacing, raising her flexing arms, but the sleeves doesn't seem too practical for that propouse. First, they would keep sliding down everytime she rises her arms. Second, they obscure her muscles in a position that would certainly make them look cool. The design in the second sketches, with the exposed arms and shoulders looks great. the sleeves could remain as shorter bands maybe. Just an Idea.

The whole concept is going really good She's a neat elf!:thumbsup:

[medunecer]

Thanks fellows for your comments!

Trybal: Cool advices. I'll work on it. Thanks!
SteevieWoo: Hey Gabriel! Yes, I agree with you: shorter sleeves or something like that. Thanks and...see you in the other "room" soon...

In the meantime, I enclose a fragment of the back dress. I'm studying
the way the dress interact with the roots coming

from her body.

[Ferx]

Hey Marco, really cool sketches :thumbsup: , and like a lot your concept on vegetation power, really great (do she summoning a monster too??). The outfit for Thalujis´s back is looking really good. Again, cool work !! Cheers my friend!! :beer:

[medunecer]

Thanks man! I'm doing some changes on the model...soon updates!

[medunecer]

Modeling started!

[medunecer]

...a bigger shot of the model...

[Airflow]

Nice concept and modeling.

[kkem]

Nice concept Marco, the models coming along nicely. I like the way the head piece connects to her back. Lets see some more updates.

[Ferx]

Hey Marco, really cool model !! ( and great that you posted the work flow on it, nice) I really like her face, you have a great face for great expression !! Cheers my friend!! :beer:

[medunecer]

Hey fellows! Thanks for your comments!Airflow: Thanks for your words! I hope to make a nice texturing too!

kkem: Thanks! Updates today...
Ferx: Thanks! Even if I wish I have better modeling skills...

[Airflow]

Any updates?

[medunecer]

Hi Robert...not yet...I'm still studying normal mapping...hope to post something soon.

[medunecer]

It's texturing time!

[Nennad]

Heya hello again!

I liked the sketches, very clean work and a firm drawing representing a firm person! I like her body being strong but still almost fragile :)

Keep on...

[medunecer]

Thanks Nenad! I agree with your comment: she's strong and fragile at the same time...

[Ferx]

Hey Marco, the UV maps look nice, and cant wait too see some textures on the model :) Cheers my friend ! :beer:

[medunecer]

Thanks Fernando! Your comment is very encouraging, but I think I'm doing a very bad work with these UV! Hope to set them up...

[medunecer]

I'm going to finish in the next hours. This is the textured final model as we see it in LW Modeler...

[medunecer]

...here we have the textures used, but I have just realized that luminosity and diffure are not requested!

[medunecer]

...and finally, the first render test!

[Necronomiden]

wow man she looks wicked! did you maped a texture to incandece to make the glow effect or is there a glow atribute?

[medunecer]

Thanks Octostatue! She has just a luminosity map...I'm still trying to understand how to get the glow in lW...

[Necronomiden]

oh .. i see what you mean i tried looking for tutorials or something but couldn't find anything useful:banghead:

[medunecer]

Thank you so much! You're very kind! I'm looking for some tutorials too...

[medunecer]

Finished! I'm posting the delivered images...

[medunecer]

...this is the texture sheet (I'll study more about textures for games)

[medunecer]

...here's the concept sheet, the beauty sheet and the final winning pose. I changed some elements in the final model...

[Necronomiden]
