Cobra 6

[FirstQuietMonk]

Yeah, I had the same first feeling about your Viking as cobra6. ("How to train your dragon") I like it, and award is deserved.
I look forward for some tutorial ;).

Excellent, as usual Pedro ;)
Congratz for this new Award :)

[C1Workshop]

First of all Congrats on your Award! well deserved!

-Maybe this is a dumb question, but could you ask your rigger how he did to Scale the Rig in Max? I'm currently rigging a full character and I can't figure it out how to do it.

Thanks, and congrats again Pedro

[mookiemu]

Love it! Love the concept and the execution :)

[pedroconti]

Hey guys thank u again:) :)
C1Workshop: i'll ask to alex give u a better explanation here :)
spkr9: thank u man, yes, it's already with the animators \o/
pixin: about filters i used Box. Samples 1/16 :)

Here's a few more wips

[C1Workshop]

Very clean hair setup Pedro!

Btw, Alex already answered me,thanks anyway! Hope to see this piece of art animated soon.

Oh I forgot to ask you, How many morphers did you use for the facial rig? Thanks again!

[pedroconti]

The blend shapes was based in Alan Camilo rigs (http://www.alancamilo.com/). His a experient animator. talking with him i decided to use his technics.
Blend shapes was one of the steps i most enjoyed.

[C1Workshop]

Thank you a lot again Pedro.I guess Greens&Blues are half body blend shapes and Red ones are a mix of both, I'll search some info about Alan Camilo Rigs.

[Kzin]

the different lighting renders looks great.

[fabmoraes]

This looks amazing, man.
Wonderful work. You just get better and better.

I loved everything on this one.

Congratulations

[dmoratilla]

Hi Pedro, I dont quite understand that blendshape image you posted...what does the colourful body symbol represent? I can't find anything which explains Alan Camilo's technique on his website,

and also if you don't mind , could you / or anyone that knows explain how the modelling technique and shading/texturing for the Viking character's eyes? I cant seem to get the same result for my work...thanks !

[phoenix]

very nice impressive work

Regards

[Eightball]

I love him! (the viking ^^)
He's my new desktop wallpaper at work, thanks for that! Makes me smile everytime I see him. xD

Gret work!
Alex

[pedroconti]

[tomtom]

Nice design and lighting!

[HP]

Congrats Pedro!

Looks very Pixar-ish in all aspects.

[hiperflash]

Great work.Equal to the style of how to train your dragon

[ArcticWolf]

I love it, very good concept and execution!

The hair is very impressive. It looks almost stop-motiony, some how.

[Lincao]

Beautiful composition!! Great rig too!!
Congrats!!

[sujunhao]

Very funny ,good job

[Subi3d]

Truly awesome!:thumbsup:

[saycon2000]

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhh...........Absolut..........:buttrock:......PERFECTION !

Thank you so much........Pur 3D creation like this, inspire me to continue in learning more.:applause:

[Narfnarf]

I love this character! Are you going to animate him? That would be amazing
:bowdown:

[HarlemLima]

This make me laugh a lot. And your technique is awesome. Hugely detailed and with priceless mood . Just Amazing.

[Libor]

Hi,
this is really nice Pedro! I admire your works for long time and its clear that you are better and better!

I simply love all aspects of the image...

One small note (I wouldnt call it crit because its more feeling than anything more :bounce: ) I just think that your final render doesnt stand to your gorgeous sketch - not technically (its flawless!) but in terms of performance / acting. The expression on the sketch is simply gorgeous - in your final pic its a bit "calmed down" which is sad!

Anyway, top notch!

Libor

Post Edit: I looked and examined it again and I can name it now. He simply doesnt look drunk as on your sketch (I miss this "story" a lot) and look a bit too neutral. I think its because of his chest / shoulders position (sticking to backward too straight) - he looked much more crouched and leaned toward the table carrying his upper drunk body, and his eyes of course (this one is prettty obvious).

Please dont take it offensive its just my feelings and I respect all aspects of your work which is beautiful!

[Twi]

Awesome! Love the details.

[behrooz]

lots of details make lots of fun.every things good except the iris its little solid and need to be more jellify.

[valu]

Sensacional o trabalho Pedro. Adorei os detalhes.
Meu único pitaco, é nos dedos anelar e mínimo da mão que está segurando a taça. Dava pra trabalhar um pouco mais o gesto.

Super hiper parabéns pelo trabalho !

[dvanwormer]

Stunning work, very inspirational!

[Androgs]

this is great!! congrats!! :thumbsup:

[Kimberly3D]

I love the attention to detail in this picture! I love how it says I just love a good martini and even though I am a big burly man sometimes a good fruity drink can be exhilerating, especially after fighting dragons and orcs.

[rodcreation]

excellent... 3d as i like!

[AnimMaster]

Lovely Good work my friend , Keep it up

[ChrisJohn]

Poor viking, instead of drinking a normal mug of beer, he has only a martini-like drink. I know what he feels :(

Love this work!

[StiffCG]

lovely piece!

[ChiKeN89]

Congratulations Pedro it's a really expressive character, very nice ligthing and facial expressions, and the idea of a Viking haveing that drink is really awsome, very nace rigging, by the way :)

I'm still learning 3D max and I hope I will be able to do things like this some day.

[mbillette]

Great job, I love it!

[abynum]

I think the beard could look a little duller, less sheen, and more organic, but overall definitely a sharp and funny piece you've done.

[romanovich]

Great job. Thats a viking i love :)

[lokalteknik]

Arg a viking with a some pink martine dring hehe..

Great work, could be fun to see him in animation of some sort.

[lokalteknik]

Love it.. A viking with a pink drink, what is it, sex on the beach?

[Muad-Dib]

Lights, ambient, composition, shapes, his look... beautiful :)
Regards.

[Zevster]

Fantastic Job! Parabens!
I love the style!
Maybe one day I'll be that good. :)

[pixelhand]

I still have a lot to learn :)

[Jiangjunnan]
