NIce! omg man! the face is so sweet! Really good to see you back at it!

[MartinNielsen]

It's good to see a more "normal"-looking female body around here for a change :) Great modeling btw.

[DanielCortes]

I agree about the body, looking good, and I'll be waiting for more :D

[johnwoo]

Hello all...

DTRAN: Thanks bud!...the face is quite early..I plan to add some more depth to her looks..so ther will be updates fo' sure!..thanks!..good to be back!

MartinNielsen: Thanks!...and it's fun to task myself with creating a female character...

live2contage: Thanks!...check out the small update..hope ya dig!...

Ok..Update:

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5831/dwivstalker03.jpg

Next update will be the real-time version..and possible weapons to accompany it?...I gotta get a move on..time is ticking...also got the rigging and weighting to get done also so I can pose it and maybe some small anims?...heh..

Thanks for looking...

[Bri_Spencer]

Hey man! I was following your abomination thread until you lost you file. It was looking damn nice, and now you are back at it. You are a beast... There should be a special award for doing another entry.

This model is looking really nice, and for a weeks worth of work... just insane. The texture, quick or not, is outstanding.

[ShamesArt]

Really nice work mate and beautiful face, between, isn't she charlize theron ? :D

[Darkra]

wow! the face is grand! great details with the fine wrinkles in the fabric mixed with the hard armour shell pieces Great stuff! A+ :thumbsup:

[Ghostesper]

wow amazing restarting this late in the game!, the model looks amazing! I could learn a lot about sculpting from you, especially hard surface and clothing which, I'm taking a stab at in my entry now. I'm super looking forward to this one.:drool:

[DanielCortes]

Rigorous work you’ve got there bro, I only notice the fingers look a little odd, could that be or maybe its just the angle, besides that just perfect.

[Stutts]

Awesome design on the armor. and if that is just a quick texture on the face I can't wait to see the finished texture!:bounce: Keep it up!

[Hexahedron]

You are back !
:beer:

I love the detail on her clothes. Really nice design. Good luck!
Cheers

[CurtisRU]

Great design, wicked suit it looks simple at first glance but when you check it out its sleek, advanced and appears functional.
Cant wait to see some weapons!

This is a cool design. What kind of tools of death will she have at her disposal? Great work.
Can't wait to see more!!!

[Ataulfo]

Great Character. Her face looks awesome.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

keep it up:beer:

[domclubb]

that's looking really nice! I'll echo the sentiment about her body. Its refreshing to see a female character with a natural body. I suits the photoreal style of the face. I also dig the clothing. a nice blend of organic and hard surfaces. I look forward to seeing her progress.

[WHW]

Great going jumoing back into the game, Lee. I guess you'll be exporting the highpoly out and adjusting the low to match the costume? Digging the jump-suit look!

Will she have hair? Just wondering as the helmet is covering most of the back of her hair.

[johnwoo]

Hello all...

Waht a crazy 2 weeks since my last update, but many thanks to Gavin G and Joxx for their help with some PC troubles I was experiencing :beer:

Bri_Spencer: Thanks!...there is still time I thought to myself..and it feels good to get my hands dirty in the comp again!..HAHA..no award necessary..it's about the fun!..HAHAHA...

ShamesArt: Thanks!..and yep!..the ref was based on Charlize Theron, I thought she was a good base to start of with a great looking face, but I am not concerned in the long run if the character looks like her...it was more for transferring the femininity across...

Darkra: Thank ya so much!..that's exactly the feel I am going for..integrated armour on a skin tight, synthetic armour...glad ya dig!..Thanks!

Ghostesper: Thanks..I hear ya..unfortunately this entry will not be anywhere near complex as originally planned for my 1st entry, but I will pull something out the bag for the deadline...I do tread very carefully in ZB tho' with hard surface detailing...thanks!

live2contage: Thanks man!...in regards to the fingers, I'm not gonna sweat it, I plan on rigging/weighting the character very soon, so this will be the last time you see her hands in this pose...but I thought they looked good..np...I'll make another pass and see what I can do for the proportions...

Stutts: Thank ya so much!...appreciated...I did some tests with the face texture and experimented with the focus on her being quite battle scarred, but then i felt it was not fitting and therefore toned it down and more subtle...I feel it retains the sex appeal...

Hexahedron: HAHAHAHAHA..Hell Yeah!..HAHA...Thanks!...

CurtisRU: Thanks!..this is best explained for my actual focus..sleek...still some tweaks to do tho'...

JRBarton: Thanks man!...2-3 blades...3rd I'm not sure about just yet?...I originally had an idea for a shuriken, but I will see...time is slowly ticking away and there are other things left to do...if there is time towards the end than i hope to get something done for it..

Ataulfo: Thanks!!

domclubb: Thanks bud!..I guess this is the next best thing I could have done with time being an issue...but glad ya dig!..and thanks for the comments!..appreciated...

WHW: Thanks...All done for now with the bake unless I plan to add another weapon?...time permitting...yep..she has hair...check out the images below...

Ok update:

Updates to come when there is something new to show...


Thanks for looking...

[domclubb]

wow. talk about updates!. Looks like your definately gonna finish. I love some of the details. The gortext like strips down the side of her clothing add functionality. Nice touch. I also like the shaders. Nice shiney leather/metal. Is there gonna be a weapon other than the blade?

[Stutts]

awesome stuff man!:beer: Keep it up!

[ShamesArt]

it looks really professional, I admire your skill in texturing, great work mate !

[johnwoo]

Hello all...

domclubb: Thanks bud!!...Oh yeah!..I plan to finish!...I want to do something dynamic for the beauty renders, this for me is the final step..but a big step..my lighting skills suck!..HAHA...thanks for the comments tho'....I still want to polish some areas up in the time I have left...I hope I will see ya at the frontline too bud!...

Stutts: Thanks!!

ShamesArt: Much appreciated!...still want to tidy up some areas, but I wanted to show my progress for now...Thanks...

Ok..update!..

spent this week on the rigging/weighting stage so I can actually pose the character, everything is all going well and I should have some time to tighten everything up before my final submission of renders...this is just a test pose and is in no way representative of the final render...

http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2596/dwivwip06.jpg

Thanks!

[Stutts]

I like the pose, but I think it could be more dynamic, which I am sure that you will pull if off something awesome. she 's looking awesome :thumbsup: though and can't wait to see her finished! :beer:

[Hexahedron]

She looks awesome. But I have to agree with Stutts. The pose could be more dynamic. Something more like martial arts perhaps.

[domclubb]

Awsome. Could you post a close up of the face? That would be great

[ShamesArt]

wooo johnwoo, awesome! really great texturing, cant wait to see her final pose :applause:

[requiem]

Wow, that turned out fantastic! I hope your final presentation is as amazing!

[MartinNielsen]

Great work :) It's simple, nice and clean, and doesn't have all those extra magic-super-weapons. Perfect in my opinion :)

[DanielCortes]

sweet! I mean she's not sweet, ha, but your work is fantastic. I also agree about the beawty in simplisity, the texture is also fabulas, I cant wait for the final render. Keep it up bro

[johnwoo]

Hello all..

I was informed there is an extension...is this true?..is there a confirmation of this?

Stutts: heh..thanks!...but this is a test pose..I was happy with the weighting and I did not update for a while it seemed...so I thought upload something for an update, I am working on some poses right now, for the beuty render as well as the pedestal pose, but I will say I am investing a LOT of time into the beauty render, hence lack of an update..next week I will probably upload the final submission depending on there is an extension or not?

Hexahedron: this is the focus for the pedestal pose...heh..so ya pretty spot on...thanks for the comment!

domclubb: Thanks bud!...check below...hope ya dig...

ShamesArt: Thanks man!...final pose is coming along well, just tonight I finally got settled on a good light rig, so I can concentrate on the poses as much as I can before the submission date...

requiem: Thanks!!..I hope so too!...HAHAHA

MartinNielsen: Thanks!!...I feel I got a good thing going with the simplicity of the character, but I am gonna attempt to capitalise on her abilities an skills ;)....Thank you...

live2contage: Thank you very much for the kind words...I appreciate the support...

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8120/dwivwip06a.jpg

Thanks..bigger updates to come next week....

Thanks for the support...the fun is almost at an end..

[Stutts]

cool I can't wait to see the final and yeah there is an extension new deadline is May 18th 2009 11:59pm Eastern Time

[Necronomiden]

amazing character dude! :wavey:

[tokaru]

fantastic job dude

[johnwoo]

Thanks for the support!

Stutts: Sweet!...an extension is most needed as the beauty render is kickin my ass!..sheesh!..it's coming together tho'...thanks!
Octostatue: Thank you very much! :beer:

tokaru: Thanks man :)

Ok...been plugging away in general on the beauty as it is quite the big task and I need to pull this off, but check the image below as the light rig is fairly similar albeit a lite version..heh...and thought I'd giver her a more action orientated pose...a small taste of what is to come ;) ...

Also been thinking about a pedestal for the presentation, will be something fairly simple as I cannot help but devote a considerable amount of time to the beauty render..it's the where the mo' money is!...

Ok...small progress shot...all WIP...[edit..changed the pose slightly as I was not happy with it now that I looked at it again..]

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5209/dwivwip07.jpg

[Bri_Spencer]

WoW! You never cease to amaze me! That is looking BADASS! The model, proportion, texture, and pose are all top notch. Congrats man. Now where is that beauty render ;)

[Nethermind]

You've done a good job on keeping a naturalistic body design that also works well with the concept and character archetype. It is nice to see people working against the standard of busty, synthetic plastic dolls that are so popular in CG and games today.

That leather material is spot on as well. Now I feel like watching the Matrix again. ;)

[Stutts]

I love the pose man! Can't wait to see the beauty render and the final presentation!

[onelung]

Oh crap man, finally found it. She looks fantastic man, per usual. Nice textures, scar and ripped up material look especially great! Looking forward to where ya go with the new pose, and base. You gonna do an action beauty render? Lookin forward to the update.

[JacqueChoi]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude


that is all





:applause:

[DanielCortes]

I love how its coming, your work is impressive, you must have worked hard to get to this level. In my opinion she doesn't read so well in that last action shot, but I'm sure you have something just right in mind, see you soon. keep it up bro :bowdown:

[snk]

I really like the pose and lighting on the second page. I think she looks great. Since she wares a dark suit, i would stress the contours with additional lights maybe. Look forward to seeing ur latest pose- hopefully slightly bigger shots though.

Cheers,

Ok...I just submitted these images, so I checked and double checked everything to make sure all is good, so knowing it's all submitted, I hope you all can enjoy the images...

domclubb: y0!..buddy!!...HAHAHA...glad ya like the finish!...

Obmoc: Thanks for the comments...heh..the pedestal has been done already, is it not that obvious!?...HAHA..I really did not want to detract from the character so the pedestal was simple, so she was was the focus and put more of my efforts into the Beauty as that I wanted to show a snapshot of her life...

GavinG: Thanks buddy!!..glad ya dig!...and good luck on ya side too mang!

Thanks for stopping by to everyone who commented...it's been fun!...
