This looks really good, I love the burning UFO, especially the sense of small scale. And I think Conrad is one of the coolest heroes in this challenge.

Dang - real sense of gravity here man! Not sure about the colour you have chosen for the saucer though. Seems a bit dull - I would have gone for a gold/bronze/silver and higher on the specular levels/contrast. The charred look is spot on though.

Hi guys, thanks for kind words! Your work is really strong too Ralph. I love your robot.

Uzo… I have nothing to say to you. Just kidding! your right. I need to play around with the compositing.

With out further ado, here’s conrad!

Software: ZBrush

In a world where flying saucers fly around as if they own the place, there is only one man that can stand up to them. And that man just happens to have a ridiculously large moustache.

A rip roaring adventure epic that will have you glued to your seat despite the fact that it’s 4 and a half hours long.

Congratulations on finishing. Conrad’s great as always (of course). I also like your poster design!


#26

LoL Nice story idea, better poster concept:thumbsup:
Good luck man!!


#27

man, this looks great, I really like how you perfectly translated your 2D sketch into 3D… I’d love to see a full length movie starred by Conrad! the only thing that I may be missing is some visible gunfire going flying fro the plane towards the ufo…
good job!! :thumbsup:

Nice one Paul… good job man… I like the final Image… I would have liked to see the whole guy he seems like a pretty cool and charismatic character… Maybe you can do his whole body on your on time? But anyways great finish Congratulations!

Ralph- Thanks very much for the comments through out, man! Much appreciated. Hopefully we’ll meet again in the next challenge.

Octavio- Same to you. Thanks for visiting my post, you’ve got an awesome style.

Fernando G- Yea, your totally right. As soon as you mentioned it, I realised I missed a trick. I also should have had some bullet holes in the UFO too. I’m hoping the next challenge will be titled “Planes shooting down UFO’s”. That way I can keep working on it. :wink:

Francisco- Thanks for your support through out the challenge. I was totally going to rip off your coloring style but work got in the way and I ran out of time. Yea, you have a good point about finishing off the rest of Conrad. However to tell you the truth, I don’t like the way he looks at me. :surprised It makes me feel uncomfortable so I don’t think I’ll spend anymore time on him for a little while at least.

Fernando P- Gracias mi amigo! I enjoyed following your posts.

I’ve had a great time with these forum’s and it’s especially nice doing work that isn’t amended to death by clients. I’m looking forward to the next challenge.
