Crude, but it will work quite well if you can make the mucus a crusted, pus-ridden part of his face.:D

[LyonHaert]

i'm not sure if that would count as a deformity, though. that would be really cool if you can pull off an utterly repulsive giant booger.

[pigwater]

Erilaz & Lyonhaert .. frickin hilarious:scream: ... with some nice sss and soft body dynamics ... i can see it swinging now

yah ,.. i went and read the rules again ... so i came up with this, but this looks a little boring ... anyways i got a bunch of real work to do this week so it'll give me time to think

[Cyberdigitus]

[Virtuoso]

Looking forward to your next creation Pigwater............it will be fun to see what you come up with.I know I can count on something both original and fun.Now get to :wip: ...................I'm looking forward to your updates.:thumbsup: :beer:

[pigwater]

cyberdigitus ...uhhhh, i'll call that creative vomit ... it was way to late and i got a little too "filter happy"

virtuoso ,... well hey there :) , i thought you'd be out busy catchin the last of the waves and babes ... nice to see ya come in from the beach and visit us that are stuck indoors ... :beer: back at ya


just tossin things still ... this is an idea to show the pain and compassion of those in the show ... an armless young girl in the arms of the tattoo lady ... since no hands, the prop is held with feet

[dodo3d]

:cry: :cry:

[BigSky]

The difference between filter vomit and this sketch is amazing. The tattoo lady and kid really is a great picture.

Good luck with the comp.

[JamesMK]

That last sketch is truly beautiful... And that little ragdoll... :cry: Go do that stuff now. It's amazingly good.

[pigwater]

jamesMK, BigSky , dodo3d .. thanks for the words, but i think i'm gonna do big buger boy ..... well, maybe not

got a little face of the girl goin today ...

does anyone know of a link to a tut on the hair solution "HobbittGuy" put up a while back, or someone elses version of it .... i've never done it and wanted to try ...if not i'll just do the trial and error bit --- EDIT .. nevermind

[Mangled Poly]

[eYadNesS]

Nice modeling for the face :thumbsup:

[Virtuoso]

Nice going Pigwater.very deep and emotional concept.The modeling looks to be off to a great start too.Keep the updates coming.:cool: :beer:

[OZ]

COOL START! very intense model.......mmh...very interesting....i will be back 4 more! :applause:

[pigwater]

Mangled Poly, eYadNess, Virtuoso & OZ ...thanks

just a quick one ..blocking it out and tinkering here and there

hopefully i'll get some done over the weekend :)

EDIT .. oops , forgot the pic

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/block02.gif

[JamesMK]

Looks like a really promising start here... :thumbsup:

How about the arm stumps? They're sort of pointy now.

[pigwater]

JamesMK .. hey, ... i started thinking that she looks like an amputee instead of deformed with just a stump soo..... i'm still searching for it


anyways, ..a little morehttp://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/block03.gif

[Pufferfish]

aww... She really gets my sympathies :sad:. This is gona be one touchy piece of work!
Looking very good!:thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Excellent. Very good indeed.

If you want an amputated look (couldn't really figure out if you did or did not want that =) I suppose if you consider that one would cut through the skin, leave a bit of it, then cut the bone off and you would sort of cover the remaining bone with the extra skin and subdermal tissue. So in the end you are looking for something rather blunt and boxy, sort of... :hmm: Like a wrapped up parcel or something... Ugh. What a topic...

[pigwater]

Pufferfish .. thanks,

JamesMK eeeww!! ..that's kinda gross:surprised ...no, i was thinking the sketched looked like an amputated arm, which i didn't really like .. so for the model i was thinking more of a gestation malfunction type of thing .... but i really do appreciate the thoughts:) ... been enjoyin your thread as well a it looks like your really flowing with your new app :beer: .. congrats on that, by the way

here's some of the tat lady ...

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/tat01.gif

[pigwater]

a little more ..

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/tat02.gif

[Pufferfish]

damn! they both are looking great!

The tattoo lady is coming along nicely. She really could be her mother, the look in her face is the same as the little girl has.
Well I assume you modelled her from the same face :)

great work!

[JamesMK]

Argh! That looks perfect! Really interesting to see your shell modeling approach here... I used to make stuff like that, but then I started using Wings and had to go box/volume all the way. I really should look into shell-stuff again...

Uh, anyway, you've got a great sense of anatomy going for you :applause:

[Virtuoso]

Your beginning to reach your potential with this idea Pigwater.:thumbsup:

Will you be giving the characters a scene,or surrounding carny feel?

Very emotional and true to the topic.Looking excellent,keep up the great work Pigwater.:beer:

[pigwater]

pufferfish ..thanks, ya used the same face mesh.. i'll be tweakin the models later to get rid of similarities and symmetry to fix that

JamesMK .. mahalos , actually i was going to box model this, at least that 's how i started, but by the time i got here i kinda ended up switching back and forth ... anyways, my wires are coming out a lot cleaner than just sub-d modelling

Virtuoso :thumbsup: ... ya i'm going for a full scene here ... thanks for the words


just wanted to post and show i'm still alive... doin odds and ends today on this ... right now i'm staring at a shoe lace so i can finish this corset ...gotta go:wip:

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cors01.gif

here's the f#%n knot:)

http://home.hawaii.rr.com/vanillapixel/cors02.gif

[JamesMK]

Aaargh! Knots! Not the most amusing thing to model... guess that's why they're called 'knots' :) Looking really good.

[pigwater]
