here's some early sketch i made today. im planning on giving him the eight legged horse also..

[mr_carl]

Nice, nice, nice, I also have a first draft of Odin (Oden in swedish) but this is so much better.
Don´t forget Hugin and Munin his 2 birds and eyes of what's happening in the world.

[Matellis]

Really nice character work!

[threedsquid]

mr_carl : thanks! youre doin odin too? actually i cant find any info about hugin and munin, i can only find some info about his two wolves, freki and geri--> link (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/o/odin.html) but thanks anyway, and good luck for your odin!

Matellis : thank you! :)

[mr_carl]

Well as was about to do Odin but I did´t get any good ideas so I did a draft but abandoned the idea.

Anyway here are some info on Hugin and Munin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugin_and_Munin

I´m really looking foreword to see this one done, good luck.

[VictorSantos]

Woah! pretty cool idea! I studied the possibilty of making my own Odin the last week.

Really looking forward this post :thumbsup:

[DeeVad]

The sketch is fantastic, and I'm sure you will do a nice WIP. I keep on with notifications.

[nwiz25]

brilliant details mate! :thumbsup:
good luck with the challenge! this is definitely something to look out for ;)

[Niall]

wow, nice concept on odin dude, love the style, much look a like warmachine concept, but still, its very nice, cant wait for sleipneir, it must be great, so are still gonna make this one 2D or 3D? com'on dude, make it 3D :D

[RicoD]

Cool looking Odin! The two themes compliment each other well. Good luck!

decided to give odin some helmet and an eyepatch, also changed the spear, what do you think?

also made sleipnir today..

[threedsquid]

mr_carl : thanks for the info, too bad you left this idea, but good luck for your entry anyways :)

VictorSantos : thank you! and good luck to u too..

DeeVad : thanks! saw your thread and your drawing are very good.. i still need alot to improve mine :D

nwiz25 : thank you! really good to hear that from you

Niall : haha..i might try 3d coz i looked at other entries and they were all very awesome..anyway where's your goliath i really wanna see it :cool:

RicoD : thanks! good luck for your entry too..

[Niall]

woohooo, sleipneir dude, loves those lil chimney on the neck, and also that the horse is not totally machine, but its half machine and half mechanic, nice one dude, lets get started on the 3D shall we :applause:

[ArthurGWG]

Looks like the concept art from a ded fantasy scenario called Iron Kingdons!
In this world there is a team of lancers from a real named Kador that are very alike your odim!
Liked the idea of the extra legs of his horse being mechanical, and not the entire animal.
Would like to see the finished version! Any particular chapter from the mithologic god will be represented or is just an depiction showing him in no particular situacion?

[threedsquid]

this is the low poly base mesh for odin, accesories are not done yet, its for visualization only

[threedsquid]

niall : thanks man, glad u like it :D i have posted some quick start on odin, but it still very rough heehee..

ArthurGWG : wow, didnt know that, searched google but didnt find any kador :shrug:
anyway thanks alot for dropping by, about the pose i'm still looking for the right one, but for now im gonna work on the characters first :)

[angel]

very nice sketches and character design. Looking forward to see how it develops, good luck!

[Niall]

Holly cow, you already start it, i even havent touch my program, hahahahaha, should start it immediately hahahahaha, but for now your model just looks like Thor, hahahaa

[oneandonlyDiscoStu]

neat work!

so are the additional legs of the horse just attached with gears?
i would find that pretty cool. like external wheels on a bike kids learn riding with.
just without looking stupid :p looking forward to more

[threedsquid]

[threedsquid]

SNoWs : thanks for the support! best luck for your entry also :)

Niall : haha..yeah im waiting for yours, i bet it will be awesome man :)

oneandonlyDiscoStu : haha, nice comparison..yeah the front leg will be like implanted machine to the horse, so it will be attached to the gear..

[Wen-Jr]

Nice concept :thumbsup:

[VictorSantos]

Woah! keep it up buddy! Pretty nice work here.

:thumbsup:

[threedsquid]

Wen-Jr : thanks! best luck for your entry also :)
VictorSantos : thank you! :)

[Kerem]

I love the idea - good work :thumbsup:

[RicoD]

Sleipnir looks very cool, but didn't he have 8 legs? The digital sculpture of Odin is starting to shape nicely as well.

[aliasfx]

Very nice sketches, cant wait to see your models in more advanced stage.

[Try]

Odin is Looking great.
He looks like he`s picked up the smell of som ugly Troll that needs a bashing!:cool:

[mr_carl]

Great sculpting man, I really like the Sleipner concept you've done.
Keep it up.

[threedsquid]

Kerem, RicoD, aliasfx, Try, mr_carl : thanks alot for the feed back guys! really appreciate it :)

PS : the concept for this version of odin is not done by me, its done by my team mate for the video challenge. You can view my team entry in this link --> http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=5535350#post5535350

[filda]

Hey Marthin, armor looks very good! I love this style of design :thumbsup: Im looking forward final image :D

[asela]

great stuff man

this is going to be a very cool character
cant wait to see more

asaf

[Citizen Suicide]

I really can't find anything that could be improved thus far. That's awesome!

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1230812457_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1230812457_large.jpg)

here's my latest update, finally i'm done with the upper body, next is his lower part, and maybe some simple scene if i still have time :)

[threedsquid]

Ramirezz : thanks dude, hopefully i can manage my time to finish this..I would love to see yours finish too, its already lookin good :)

asela : thanks! good luck for your entry too :)

Citizen Suicide : thank you, i still have lotsa things to improve compared to other professionals here :)

[JackZhang]

this is a very interesting character wip. i love it! keep it up and hurry up~!

[ra-gevz]

wow! reminded me of warhammer! nice modeling and texture works! :applause:

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1230918153_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1230918153_large.jpg)

here's some scene test i render today, the props are still messy and the lighting is not final..
i wanna put him in some sort of a throne, with engines and pipes all around
what do you guys think? :)

[threedsquid]

JackZhang : thank you! i will try to keep up with the deadline :)

ra-gevz : thanks man, to be considered to them is an honour :) i still have to learn alot to achieve that standard :D

[YuriyXXX]

the modeling and texturing that you did on the guy gets lost in that composition. maybe making the guy take up more space in the image would help.

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231013980_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231013980_large.jpg)

change the camera and light, also adding some details, tell me what you guys think :)

[threedsquid]

YuriyXXX : thanks for the input, now i changed the camera for better view of the character, (i didn't put it yet) hopefully it's better now :)

[JackZhang]

someone got some speedy here! i love the scene. brilliant!

[threedsquid]

been working on the textures of throne. I'm quite happy with the looks right now but im still open for any suggestions :)

[madshooter]

Beautiful job Dude, looks great:thumbsup:. You have added sufficient details and texturing looks good. I feel you can start creating your composition now. All other details and tweakings can be done in photoshop. Would really love to see every thing combined with lighting.
And the character looks awesome very nice details:)

[filda]

wow, you are fast! background looks great, I just wana see this finished in time , my favourite picture :D good work!

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231355111_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231355111_large.jpg)

okay here's some updates, not really interesting i guess..its just the character's lower part, i will texture it next and then rig the whole part to pose him on the throne

[threedsquid]

JackZhang : thanks alot for dropping by! :) im trying to finish on time, really have to put every spare time i have to do this..

madshooter : thanks man, yeah i would really love to put him on the scene but there's still some work to do, i will try to finish it asap

Ramirezz : hey thanks for dropping by again mate, thanks for the compliments also :) best luck for your entry!

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231587446_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231587446_large.jpg)

finally got him rigged and posed..
the weapon that he is carrying is gungmir, according to wiki it supposed to be a spear that never misses its target :)
Next job is texturing gungmir and putting them all in the final scene..

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231607027_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231607027_large.jpg)

still strugling to find a good composition, so here's my first attempt at putting all i have on a scene..
any suggestion would be appreciated :)

[Niall]

naisu naisu....., its good, he looks like a king, first thing that notice me is that his feet in not on the ground, and then maybe you could add effect like glowing chimney, just to make sure that the room has so much power, just to make it feel grandier then before...... finish it dude, take your time to polish it :)

[threedsquid]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231760862_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16388/16388_1231760862_large.jpg)

here's a composition test of odin in the throne..i might change it coz we have a week extension :D

[madshooter]

Wow it looks awesome already. Not sure, but how about some very mild smoke coming out from those skulls. Eyes and nose, very mild like cigarette smoke.
Nice job dude:thumbsup:

[Niall]

whuooo, nice one man, its really suits the scene, anyway i gonna suggest you to do this, try to it zoom out and see your pic from a thumbnail, and see is there anything miss, well imo the odin need to be stand out a bit, make him a bit brighter, but its just my 2 cent man, hehehehe, nice piece :)

[filda]

Hey mate, another very nice update, congratulations :) maybe you can try to change coloration on background to more "cold" color, Odin is little lost vith all that tubes, or, like Nial said before, make him a little bit brighter great work man, cant wait to next week to see it final :thumbsup:

[MartinNielsen]

Cool work :thumbsup: Could be a good game character :)

[threedsquid]

wow, thanks for the kind words guys :)

madshooter : great idea :D i'll do it soon, thanks man ! :)

bajing Niall : yup, i will do it dude, hopefully i can bring this character to focus :D

Ramirezz : yeah, i think ill give it a try dude, im still looking for a good blend between the character and background :D

MartinNielsen : thanks for dropping by! :) and thanks for the comments too..

i guess this will be my last updates before i finish, i might send this for the finals if i cant find anything to improve..so any last suggestions? :)

[Ataulfo]

Hi Marthin,

It looks really good:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Good luck with the final:beer:

[Nigel-Q]

Dude, this is lookin' friggin sweet! Love the atmospherics and the texture... face looks great too. My only suggestion would be some subtle asymmetrical elements in the bg... unless that's not what you're looking for.

[themightym]

Wow, that face is really well done, loads of detail, love the skulls and wings behind Odin as well.

[mrpeace]

A very powerful image! The composition rocks !

[cabertevon]

I agree: Last image is awesome. Congratulation!:deal:

As the final battle about to begin, Odin rise from his throne to prepare himself for Ragnarok. He holds his mighty spear, Gungmir, ready to enter the battle against the beast Fenrir..
This image is a representation of Odin in a steampunk era..I want to make him more like a human in a supersuit, powered by a steam engine.
Hopefully you can enjoy this final piece, and thanks for viewing!
