Wow, just love them!

Freaky pose you put them in. They look really unpredictable and disturbing in a good way :D
Would have loved to animate those critters!

Top notch work! Keep it up! :thumbsup:

I've seen these fellas on zbrushcentral. Great work. I would like to see them moving in tracking test that you have made.

Wow. :applause:

The creepiest and most bizarre thing about this picture is the long stick legs. The fantastic render and depth of field really emphasize them. Great job.

Nice work, you can really see a story behind the character design!
Love the camera work and the lens you used in the animation.

I really like these character designs. Very creepy. The rabbit ears suggest something cute a furry but these things are sickly and grotesque. Nice contrast there.

Would be great to see these things moving in a Tim Burton-esque, jerky, stop-motion sort of way.

Fantastic!

One suggestion: How about calling them "Nosferabbits"?

Bao2
08-26-2008, 03:25 PM
In the video in the madcrew page it is said these guys are in a test of "integration 3d/2d". I was wondering where is the 2D because all is rotating so all is 3D.

shahabp
08-26-2008, 05:11 PM
Cool characters,I love them.
It should be fun animating them.
The teeth could be better: somehow I feel they are not connected and extra objects.

"One suggestion: How about calling them "Nosferabbits"?

That's actually a fantastic funny name...

I love this! Perfectly excecuted and has that kind of wackyness that comes from the heart. It should be on the front of some kind of deep philosophy book for those with a sense of humour and the abserd.

and the light is awesome man.
how did you do it?!

jobesu
08-27-2008, 11:33 AM
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! I really appreciate it.
I had a plan to animate them but since i´m not an animator or rigger guy it ended up with static characters and moving camera =P
For rendering i use photometric light.
the rendering is setup with two portal light ,bokeh , exposure photographic lens shader and of course FG.

Absolutely fantastic! I wouldn't like to share a dark room with them (unless they have a fetish for watching pocket tv's...they have some weakness, right? :D).

I must say, they look very real. Not just realistic, but actually real, as if you've modelled them by hand and taken photographs of them and put those photos online. Gotta love the blurring, too, adds to that effect. Definitely top marks.

well done, 10/10 my only critique is the cartoonyness of the eyes. i do see that its slanting to cartoony but uve kept in a certain amount of life like that the eyes take away.

good job though i love it

I really love your character design, very disturbing. It is very well excecuted, simple and detailed at the same time. Maybe you could have changed the back character's pose a bit, so it doesn't look cloned.
Congratulations, keep on doing your stuff!

ftb
09-19-2008, 02:27 PM
they look really good, nice render
the depth of field gives me the impression that they are small. did you do that with the render of after in photoshop? would you like to elaborate on it?

also could you post what the texture looks like? maybe a wire?
