Another visual angle of head, vith better shading. I also started to work on body , I ll post it rly soon

[A-TOM]

Man thats a nice update. The new shader works great on the head! Maybe I would try to add a little bit reflection on her eyes to achive more realistic look...

C'mon give us more :D

[filda]

Hey, A-TOM thank you for comment mate, I ll work on all shaders more for sure, I ll post some update tonight :thumbsup:

[filda]

wow... just 32 days left, I have to work faster! :D So, here is some update, trying to put objects together and get good camera angle... but things go slow... clothes are just placeholder. Im looking forward christmass holiday, so much free time to work on this :)

[Womball]

That's quite a figure. Her face remind me of a cherub. You may need to thin her chin and jaw line a bit to get closer to the sketch. The hair is fantastic, just push up the divisions on it so you do get smoother curves.

[filda]

to Womball - Thank you mate, you are absolutely true about issues in anatomy , I need to improve it :thumbsup: thanks for tips

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1229203387_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1229203387_large.jpg)

Another update incoming! Just textured body and made base for texture. I also tried to made another hiar test, here it is :)

[varma]

Very nice Work and a super cute readhead! I just adore redheads!
Looking forward to seeing more of this concept!
Good luck!
:)

[A-TOM]

Hi Filip
Wow.. Thats what I called an update :) She is just lovely. I really like the pose though it seems that she has no neck. And yes there are maybe some anatomy defects, especially on the hand and I have to say that dont really like these huge breasts, looks little bit plastic to me...

Anyway you have done some pretty hard work these days and cant way to see more updates
:beer:

[filda]

to Varma - Hi there, Thank you for comment, I am rly glad u like it, and I ll try to make her readhead at final image for sure :)

to A-TOM - Hi Tomas, about neck , Im still trying to move with head and find some good position for it. And, you are true about breasts, I have to make them a little bit smaller :D

Thank you for comments guys, I ll upload something new rly soon! cya

Hi, another update, I worked on boots and skirt a little...

[sgw]

Nice curves! ;)

[filda]

[filda]

Heya, here is another update. I added backlight, made better some textures and modeled right hand. I hope u like it, feel free to post some crits ;). I ll not posting tommorow because I have to be with family, so marry christmass everyone :)

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1230254239_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1230254239_large.jpg)

Hey, I made some new maping, material and textures. Background texture is just placeholder. Only 17 day left o.O... I hope I ll finish in time! :D

[greenpizza]

I like the design for the machine :cool: , is a motor of an airplane I guess, or I'm wrong?
The material update is very fine.
Which object will be in the place of the triangles?
Good luck and Keep in it! ...

[filda]

to dapi - Hi, thank you, yea you are absolutely true, its motor of old airplane :D . About triangles, maybe it will be flowers, or sprocket... im not decided, I just like the idea of adding some "move". I will also try to make her hair sweep in wind. I also want to try to make that "motor" more like chrome material, I ll post something soon. Thank you for comment :thumbsup:

[filda]

Im working on skirt... Its just wip, I spent a lot of time on it , and its stil looks bad :(. Here it is, I ll maybe try to little rework her suit, dunno.

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1230550888_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1230550888_large.jpg)

better material for motor

[sanat49]

nice modeling and material, but you can testing with another textures for some details

[filda]

another update, stilll working...

[YuriyXXX]

those boots look amazing.

[threedsquid]

wow, you're really fast :D
i really love the engine man, any background story? or will you give the girl some clothes? (actually i like the way she is right now :cool: )

[Nightlitsky]

I saw the boots and felt sad they only exist in the virtual world. :P
I think you are doing really well with the composition. Do they require that there is steam or like steam exhausts and water pipes in steampunk art? I think your engine looks really nice and realistic, but it could use a little more of the oddness/wacky feel of steampunk creations. But maybe you don' t need to change a thing, because your sketch shows that your character would have some mechanical attachment on her arm.

[filda]

to YuriyXXX: Thank you :)

to m4rxti4n: hi, Im trying to work as fast as I can, because just few days left ;) , about story, I had something but there is too much ideas in my head, and have no time to make some order in it.. so atm. its just another character. I ll give her clothes for sure, but, I decided to delete that skirt and try to little rework my concept, I ll post something tonight I hope

to Nightlitsky: Hi, yea you are true in all your comments, I hope it will become more steampunkish when I give her some clothes, hand, glasses... we will see :)

Thank you guys, cya in few hours vith concept rework :thumbsup:

[joolz]

I love how this is coming along. I really like the figure- she fits the era nicely. As for the skirt, I'm not so sure you should abandon it. I think you're close; in the last pic it looked like crumpled paper- you could tone down the wrinkle. Also, it could use more of a wind-blown look, billowing more behind her.

The motor looks great, but I'd agree that it looks too 20th century. Maybe you can get away with it, maybe you could throw in some wooden elements... just don't change the girl!

As for story, call her a Valkyrie... done! ;)

[filda]

Im drunk like hell, so ll post tommorow happy new yaear!

[Luffie]

Hmm this image is nice and unique, it seems you are taking a "pin-up" image approach. But I do agree it might look abit like 20th century, and i think its because there is no "outside" element that makes it feels steampunk. I mean in steampunk you see things that would never exist in the real world, eg: ridiculously clunky plasma radiation gun..etc.. right all the elements inside this pic are things that exist in this world, maybe if you some "steampunk/outside" element then it will not look so 20th century? sorry for the long comment:)

[JackZhang]

not sure what legend or myth this one is, but it's definitely beautiful!

[filda]

to Edric Yoeliawan: Hi, Im surprised how much is your comment trully! Rly thanks for it, I ll try to do something with this 20th century look for sure. Thanks for great comment :)

to JackZhang: Thank you , I rly appreciate it :thumbsup:

I worked on background, here is some test, need to make textures now...

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231357109_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231357109_large.jpg)

Just small test

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231400464_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231400464_large.jpg)

better textures and lower reflections...

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231461553_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231461553_large.jpg)

just test how "motor" material looks in high res

[filda]

This week was hard, I didnt sleep too much (like 3 hours sleeping each day) last 5 days. Now Im rly tired, but it looks that I will finish in time :scream: Just got hi res renders and gona give it a touch in photoshop :) I hope I ll finish in time, but im not sure how much time left, cant check it atm :shrug: so, maybe, I ll tommorow post my final Image :thumbsup:

[greenpizza]

Perhaps two days....:bounce: or more if the problems follow. Hey looks too real those materials that you choose for the motor, also I saw the skin of her and is very nice with that expression....finally you leave the triangles out of the scene?
I've seen a siluette behind of the torso and back of she like a plain shadow, that would be replaced or is intentional....waiting for the final! :thumbsup:

[filda]

to davidreyes: Thank you very much for info about left time, I thought its less than 24 hours left, so I was rly nervous :thumbsup: about triangles, yes, they moved away, finaly. Image will be finished tommorow, cuz I already fall asleep on my keyboard :D Bye and thanks for comment

some details in full resolution of final image, still need some work, so , I ll upload final tommorow

[Rivenis]

your rendering is just amazing

[threedsquid]

agreed, love that render :D
the only thing that doesnt fit in my opinion is the hanky, it should be falling if she's holding it like that.. But, maybe you have other plans, so ill wait for yout updates then :D

[filda]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231663380_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/17149/17149_1231663380_large.jpg)

so, I get to phase when I dont know what to improve... If u guys have some ideas and a little time, feel free to comment :)

[filda]

To Rivenis - Thank you very much :)

To m4rxti4n - hey mate! Yea, you are right about that handkerchief, I wanted it to looks like she is just droping it, but, its not too comprehensible... so, Its too late to change anything :sad:

Thank you for your comments guys :thumbsup:

[filda]

See her? Valkyrie! On the wings of war she is waiting for the moment when the brave ones will fall. Do your best to be one of them. She will be pleased to accompany u to valhala just as u will be pleased by her.

I used some textures from: http://www.cgtextures.com/

[filda]

So, finaly uploaded my final image, thanks you guys for great support :) This chalenge was realy fun (now Im gona take some beer :beer: )

[sato]

so, I get to phase when I dont know what to improve... If u guys have some ideas and a little time, feel free to comment :)


I feel that her hands/posing looks not natural.
Maybe some kind of painting or deco on the engine would look nice and are pretty easy to do.
Maybe some holes in the roof with rays of lights could add something too.
Her skin texture could use some lovin' too.
nice work.
good luck.

[varma]

Wonderful image! Congratz! She is supercute and the pose is spot on!
Good luck!
:)

[filda]

to sato - Hi, I see they moved deadline, so I ll maybe try to tweak it little more :) great constructive comment, thank you

to varma - Thank you :)

[filda]

Hi, Im back, after some time. I decided to give this picture second touch :) First of all, Im gona to rework her left hand, because it dont looks too good. then maybe add some more details into smoke, and I wana try to make that painting on engine, and holes in the walls of hangar ( I have to thanks again Sato for great suggestions - Thank you :thumbsup: ) lets see how it will works

[Womball]

This really came out great! And its great you have time to rework the weaker areas. Right now the napkin is glued unto her hand, rather than her holding it. And she could use longer eye lashes. I'd also think about using the same color red that is on her fingernails, for her lips.

[filda]

Thank you Womball :) I ll try to do my best to finish this one. I know the right hand dont holding the napkin too much, so I ll try to move with her fingers, hope It will helps. I also like idea with red lips, and I ll try it for sure :thumbsup:


Thank you

[A-TOM]

Hi Mate

I Have to say that I am so proud of you! You have done it! This picture is great, pure eye candy. I think that SATO have pointed out some very good observations and if you will make the corections, which you have said, this picture will become one of the greatest in the whole competition.

BTW: I hope that you will feed your fans with some nudity version :D

[filda]

Heya mate,
I ll try to make all that things till next monday, already started to work on her hand :) (too bad I have so much work in my job, so I cant work on this Image full time :shrug: ) , but I hope there is enough time to realize all that great ideas ;) Thanks for compliments!

Nudity version? haha, maybe , someday ... :D

[A-TOM]

Heya mate,

Nudity version? haha, maybe , someday ... :D


Maybe, someday?!
Dude, give us what we NEED!!! :D. I am a fan of this artwork and because I like your Valkirrrr a lot I want to know her better...

C'mon guys! Lets convince FILIP to make an adult version for us :wavey:

Hey, Im back with some little update ---> I tried to make some basic ornaments on engine, and here it is... I ll try to add more details

[Nightlitsky]

Ooh,
That's much, much better. Good job. :)

[OZ]

YOUR FINAL VALKIRIE ROCKS!!!:beer:

I love this image! is pretty cool...clear...everything is well modeled and superbly mapped.
One of the best piece here around!!

So...good luck...and compliments again.

[filda]

to A-TOM - hehe, thank you mate, Im very hapy you like it :) I ll think about it, I promise ;)

to Nightlitsky & OZ - Thank you very much guys, Im glad you like it :)

[A-TOM]

Nice update man! The ornaments works pretty well...
I am looking forward to see more updates like those
holes in the roof with rays of lights could...


This picture will grow in to a perfect diamond :love:

[A-TOM]

double post, Sorry :blush:

here is some wip of glove on left hand

[filda]

to A-TOM - thank you for kind words mate, always appreciate to hear that :) I ll try to add more details into that ornament

[A-TOM]

Oh jeah!
That what I call a hand, dude! Great work, finally the hand looks like a real hand and not just like a rake or something :) I can see you have added some metal fingernails on her hand... Very sexy :scream:

The only thing, which in my point of view is beat down the hand a little bit, is the needlework. The shape of the needlework is too perfect, too starchy... I think you could use some lovin' on this detail...

[filda]

just update.

[A-TOM]

Yep, thats much better. Nice update:cool:

Hey, I finaly found some free time to work on this, so here is just quick update - changed color of glove, and testing how it fits in image

[A-TOM]

Hey Filip, thats much better!

Only thing which distubes me, is the tattoo now... It looks little bit CG for me. You could give this tatto some realistic look by adding a texture in it. the tattoo is never just a color over the skin, but it has same bump/ displace/ specular like the skin...

http://tomaskral.cz/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tattoo.jpg


BTW: I am till waiting for the nudity version :)

See you around!

Robert

[AUMAKUA]

wow Filip, I wonder how I missed this thread! you've done extraordinary work on every aspect, I'm glad to see a purely artistic "obsession" with fine detailing and rich materials!
This steampunk pinup girl is definitely a winner my friend!

btw, I've noticed that the 3d artists coming from your country are true powerhouses of digital art ;)

[threedsquid]

congratulations on finishing!
she's beautiful, and i love the extra details you gave to her :)
good luck!
