Hey Evilmaul - it's so weird how you can't attach images :surprised :surprised
That just doesn't make any sense. We haven't been able to figure out why...

Well, your ogre looks promising... Now don't forget to make an enchanted forest around him ;)

Looking forward to seeing this one develop...

[samartin]

Just like 2 say that is an awesome drawing u have done there :buttrock: ... r u entering the 2d challenge side of things also ??? BTW wot software r u using there ???

[evilmaul]

im sorry Samartin....but as i said the drawing its not mine but from Miles Teves( an great artist)!! Im not so good in hand drawing :) anyway ill make some changes in my character...im currently using XSI 2.02.

[evilmaul]

ok my first show.....the Ogre foot!

i know its still too human like but i have a lot of work to do...for first giving to it four foot fingers as on the original design. Dont worry if they looks so spread becouse i've made them so for a more easily future setup and weighting.

PS: i forgot in previuos msgs to excuse me for my poor English! :shrug: ...but am i the only one? :D

[evilmaul]

here's a rough sketch of my idea about the forest...but i think i will pose him horizontal :) sleeping!!! :D

im sorry u have to browse other web pages to see my images but i still have no idea why i cant show attachment..so if there's some1 that can help me...let me know. Many thx

the "camera angle" looks a little weird in that last sketch. It almost looks like the gargoyle is taking a #2 ;) .

I really like your concept though. It's nice to see a character for this challence that's not a fairy. :p

Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

[Tellerve]

Woohoo, someone else using XSI baby! And your using it very well indeed. That 2d concept was awesome and the foot and calf of the ogre is lookin' great as well. No big critques yet, look forward to future updates.

[evilmaul]

morning to all CG talkers!!!


ok time for an update of my character... i ve make some changes in the low legs and foots (in particular giving it four fingers and no more human-like nails), i also continued modeling upper parts of legs!

Let me know what do u think!

Many thanx to ZrO-1 and Tellerve for the answer.

[samartin]

:eek: Blimey some awesome detailing going in2 your piece... can't wait 2 c the finished item now, this is going 2 b watched closely now, and out of interest is this going 2 b a textured model ???:applause:

[leigh]

Holy crap :eek:
Wow, that is looking AWESOME!!!
Love the toenails ;)
That is really really excellent work so far, well done! :applause:

[evilmaul]

Thanx u Leigh and Samartin for encouragement ...its a little bit difficult to work and to compete to the challege :hmm: but at last i will have revenge (oh nooo....the dark side of the force its taking me!!...this is Darth Maul not me, sorry :D)

the idea for the challenge is confused by my actual work.. and im thinking to make my character play soccer in the forest with other funny creatures in this moment instead relaxing and sleeping on the cut tree...oh my God!!!:surprised

[leigh]

Now THAT is a GREAT idea!!! :bounce:
Soccer playing ogres!! DO IT!!!!! That would definitely make this the most authentic idea in the challenge!!
You have the ogres playing against gnomes or something - it would be BRILLIANT!!!

I'm going to be following this thread closely... http://www.theunholytrinity.org/cracks_smileys/cwm/3dlil/lurk.gif

[evilmaul]

hi again....

here another update of my ogre character, ive done some changes in the legs, added a part of body (mmmh i think it looks to much as an bodybuilder :surprised , especially i dont like abdominals) and some props to hide its nudity :D


ogre_body (http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/evilmaul/temp/ogre_body.htm)

Let me know what do u think about it!

Marco

[samartin]

Looking very good... but..

Personally I think that the knobbly knees don't quite look right, they seem 2 b 2 inset ???

as 4 the abs, how about going down the route of all ogre's being fairly chubby ???

apart from my personal opinions that is 1 smart model u r building there and can't wait 2 c how it develops

:applause::applause::applause:

[leigh]

Wow that's looking great :applause:
But yeah, those abs don't look right. Maybe go with samartin's suggestion of making him chubby?? Give him a cool beer-belly :beer:

[urgaffel]

Really nice work. I like the detail you've got going, and the soccer idea is a great one :)

This is worthy of a subscription. I'll be watchin you ;)

:wavey:

[evilmaul]

thx for the comments folkz...but a pleasure...what the hell means chubby? :shrug: :D :D . Leigh or Samartin can explain with other words?

sigh....why i never learned well english!?! sigh

[samartin]

ermmm... some1 who has eaten too many pies is chubby !!! I can model 4 u - LOL...

chubby - fatten him up, big belly, rounded belly !!!

hope this helps

[evilmaul]

many thanx sam....so i'll fix his abs later...im currently workin on his arm and hand.....and a little on a cutted tree where i suppose to pose him......see ya later!

[L0rd]

Hey, why not have a well toned Ogre, is there really anything wrong with a healthy looking monster? Personally I like the way it's coming along, maybe the muscles are a little to well defined, a little plastic looking.....

......but that's just my opinion.

sweeeeet:thumbsup:
cn't wait to see it fin

[evilmaul]

hi all,

here some updates i'm worked on in last weekend. I started on environment for my ogre character and i also continued his modeling with the hand and arm.

I havent changed the body yet (giving he a more round abs)..ill fix that later.


Let me know what do u think about....

Marco

[ZrO-1]

Wow, the muscle definition and proportion looks really great in the arms. And the hands look really good too! I think the enviroment is a bit too dark at least untill the end it might be nice to get some more light in there so we can make out the details better. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[MagnusL3D]

Exceptional modelling !! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Keep it upp !! :applause: :applause:

[leigh]

Yeah, wow!! :eek: He's looking great :thumbsup:
Looking forward to seeing the head!!

[evilmaul]

ok ok after a relaxing week (far from work...but not from the challenge :) ) now its time to show an update of my character!

Im still working on the body :wip: ..for connecting arms, head and body. I will show now the head...i think its almost finished....i hope u like it! other shot from entire body will come soon!

Ogre_head (http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/evilmaul/temp/ogre_head.htm)

Let me know what do u think of it !!

Marco

[leigh]

WOW!!! That head looks awesome!! I love the ears!! The wrinkles on the nose are excellent :thumbsup: :applause:

[urgaffel]

Looks great, but... no nostrils? How about a pig-ish nose? Looking forward to the assembled ogre :)

[ZrO-1]

oh man that looks friggin awesome! I like it without any nose. It makes it look mean as hell without it.

[Koma]

awesome modelling ,really cool ogre keep it up:thumbsup: :bounce: :buttrock:

[evilmaul]

firt of all....thanx ppl for the comments :)

about the nose...yes i prefer it without nostril!
About the final scene i though to add other characters around the sleeping ogre, like trolls, that have to recover the soccer ball they lost near the ogre foots :D

here the link with updates Ogre and a pic with the troll body i modelled using some parts of ogre (like hands and foots) but with changes like the added of another fingers to the hand and foots (then 5 instead f 4). In the pic u can see two bodies; the original one modeled is the number 2, but i have changed a little the proportions and personally i prefer the number 1....let me know what do u think about the proportions).
Im currently working on his head :wip:

Marco

[Rhid1en]

Looking really good! I really like him without the hair better, just don't know about the mullet?! Are you going to make a forest for them too?

[OrestesMantra]

The Ogre kicks ass but the Troll could lose the 80's hair-metal afro-mullet.

[evilmaul]

hi again folks!

here a little update of my troll character...with the add of some cloth (short pants) and skin texture.
Yes ill make an forest around the Ogre character and some trolls around him (sleeping on a cutted tree) playing soccer (they lost their soccer ball between ogre legs :) ...then it can be a little dangerous for them :D )...but the question for me is if ill have enough time to make all as i said! :hmm: :shrug: anyway i hope yes.

troll done! (i think) (http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/evilmaul/temp/trolltxt.htm)

give me your feedback if i have to change something, many thanx to all

marco

[derwolpertinger]

woooow!!:eek: :eek:
that's lookin' pretty cool man!!!
nothing to critizice there!:applause:
can't wait to see you chars in the whole scene! :rolleyes:

[leigh]

Wow yeah :applause: :applause:
Don't change anything ;)

[ZrO-1]

The troll looks perfect. It looks cute and freaky at the same time. Perfect really perfect.

[evilmaul]

heya all

...for who asked for the environment for my characters (ogre and trolls) here a link with the location ....still in wip..it needs textures, grass and/or other plants, lights.
Of course i have position the characters according to my ideaa (the ogre, i think, will be double sized) .........this is only to show the environment for them.

[JacobB]

sweet stuff man! the little guys' are really creepy:scream:

[hypercube]

That's looking great..those little dudes are definitely creepy but cool :D Great models all around.

Only thing I'd say is that it looks more like they just knocked the ogre out with their soccer ball than he's asleep :) Maybe a little less prone pose, resting his head on something, or his arm..either that or a big bump on his forehead :D

[evilmaul]

I added some textures and grass...its the first try on that :D
its still to much wip :wip: :surprised
