[madsepp]

wow great stile

plz post the wire

looks realistic

[xavier-marquis]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

EXCELLENT !!!!! but why have post now. Continue this picture. The pose is excellent, light and modeling too.

Continue and make an illustration plz !!!!!!!! :)

[Max Blast]

very cool!!!!

[xcvbnm]

Looks great :thumbsup:
Would like to see more angles in different light.
Is it fully textured?

[MikeT]

Thanks guys for the positive response. If I didn't get anything I was going to give up and go live in Tibet or someplace!

Madsepp - I'll gladly send a wire but don't know if the 20k limit is for a thread or a single post. Unfortunately don't have a host of my own.

Xavier - I have spent too much time on this, wanting to get the feel of Frank Frazetta type illustration. It's over for now. Maybe you can have some suggestions.

Psan - Need to get someone to host for me then I can post some hi-res pics. Re texture only bumps, no colour.

[MikeT]

[dragunzng]

That's excellent, but I'm afraid now we must demand yet more shots...

[MikeT]

Dragunzng - Thanks. I'm presently working on a hotlink solution to my post problems. After which I will have a bunch or renders and wires for you.

[Sceme]

omg! that looks awesome...one of the best chars i've seen here.
But i would love to see some final image tho. I mean, this looks just a model and texture.
yeah. different light showing the whole model would be nice :p

[Oktavian]

Yeah, he looks realy cool but not like an Neandertaler. But I think you didn't want to make him very realistic ;).

[kr3ml]

Wow man , thats a really great style , I like the mood of it , the modeling awesome :thumbsup: :applause:

[katon]

excellent work,

Lets see a wire frame of that, it loosk great. I would love to see jsut a render of the model just with some basic GI lighjting, just so we can see all of the model. I love the renders you did, it has very dynamic lighting and a cool pose. But it does nto show of your model that much. anyways talk to you later. peace

[digital_rhino]

[DAREONER]

ouaaaaa more and more

[MikeT]

Thanks again to all you guys. Bear with me a little longer as I hope to get a host today. Till then here is a pic of the torso geometry. Have to cut it up to get in under 20k! Will post arms and legs next

[MikeT]

Arms

[MikeT]

Legs

[dragunzng]

Nice work, are you modelling the vains or using displacement mapping?

[MikeT]

Dragunzng - All the veins are geometry. No displacement maps used. Tried to get a wire for you but nothing less than 60k, sorry. Anyway I've burdened the CGTalk servers enough for now!

Thou shall have wires tomorrow.

[mickatt]

INcredible work !!!!very nice modeling and rendering...
need juste a cave background to finished your image

[lildragon]

The veins in your leg model shouted out to me right away, I know what it's supposed to look like below: But the networks you have looks a bit like a seam for pants, sorry to say, I dunno maybe they're too pronounced?

Nice model but do kill some of those black shadows in your render, and what's with the green frog? :surprised

[leigh]

Hmmm, the modelling looks nice but unfortunately the bad lighting really ruins it for me. Lighting is so important for successfully showcasing a model - even though I am guessing you wanted a dramatic look for this I don't think you've gone about it the right way. The black areas are simply too deep. I think that you should readdress the lighting in order to improve this. The lighting in the shots where you showed the parts of the body is much better, in my opinion :)

Incidently, any particular reason why it's black and white? Is it not textured? Would be cool to see him textured.

Also, post some wireframes already!

Lildragon - you're right about the saphenous vein. I just didn't expect it to be so visible. Kermit is an old friend!

Slaughters - Yep that's him who got me going.

Leigh - I wanted the viewer to be immediately struck by power and menace and that's the reason for the lighting. BW just like Frazetta's sketches

[dragunzng]

CROMS FEET! I was just about to suggest you do some GI but I see you've beaten mem to the punch in that last post. Great work, the lightings much improved now, but still makes him look menacing. Fine work and hope to see more of your stuff on here.

[McSpirit]

truely amazing work.. could you show http://upload.roonweb.com/uploaded/Nean46.jpg
from some other angles..

Why isnt this plugged allready ??

:beer:

[shahrokh]

I really liked it except the blood vessels on both arms are mirrored.

Keep up with good work
Good Luck

[arasch]

love the veins!
great modelling.

cheers :beer:

[Sceme]

that is one awesome model :) i can't say nothing else of it...:blush:

[DustinBrown]

Thats very nice, I especially like the veins. The lighting is strange though, so you may want to reconsider it.

-Dustin

[dragunzng]

I heard him say he's going to recreate the entire Frazetta scene...textured AND lit ;)

[MikeT]

To all who took time to crit and vote thanks and I hope you like this last pic

[dragunzng]

thanks for sharing with us:buttrock:

[Kel Solaar]

Excellent work! very well modelled

[mmProj]

i LOVE what you have done with his quads and hamstrings ...... in some models legs always seem to be lacking .. but here they are perrrrrfect .... haha plus all the other kudos people have given ... i agree with .. good work ! :wavey:

not sure if it has been asked...... will he get some hair?

[katon]

I like the new pic, it looks sweet, but what is with the frog:surprised , anyways great stuff. Peace

Katon

[barackmag]

ahh....freaky...

just like my neighbour:scream:

[gmask]

It's cool.. reminds me of a Frank Frazetta character

[MikeT]

McSpirit - Sorry for the late reply. I will be woking on a new and improved version so you will be among the first to know!

mmProj - He had hair once upon a time but it seemed to get in the way. Maybe when I get it right.

katon - I had originally planned to have him walking through a marsh kinda place complete with mangroves and frogs jumping hither and yon. But my graphics card had a heart attack. So I just kept the frog and junked everything else, until I can upgrade.

gmask - You're only the second guy to recognize the great FFrazetta influence. Guess I must be doing something right!

All of you have saved me an incredibly long walk to Tibet. Now onwards and upwards. Bye.

[reptil]

Niceeeeeeeeeeee thank for this model good mod :surprised it s will be a very good ilustration an original in 3d:thumbsup:

[gmask]

>>gmask - You're only the second guy to recognize the great FFrazetta influence. Guess I must be doing something right!


Yeah.. after looking at your model I had to go over to the Frazetta site for awhile.. I can't wait to see what you do with the textures.

[Pickman]

Very good work indeed. Nice to share the wires with us.
You might want to refine hands and feet a bit. I'm looking forward to seeing him textured.
There really is a FFrazetta feel to it. Keep posting. I'm surprised it's not plugged....should really be.
Anyway, good luck for the coming parts, let us know if he's found a pretty girl near the pond ;-))

[facial]

Keepost up more. So far so good, :)
