nice textures so far. it could use some color variation though. right now it seems too monochromatic.

Looking good man. I think you need a little more color variation if ever so subtle. Keep at it.

#83

He looks like one bad mother shut-yo-mouth!

#84

This is one of the best characters Ive seen… He looks so cool I love the amount of detail youve put in so far… I will keep watching this one for sure.

#85

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

Been plugging away at him some more, added a bit of colour to him, although it may be very subtle. I tried having just black plates on his arm, but seeing how he’s already very monochromatic…I wanted to add some spice. Tried a few colours with the suggestions of a few friends, went with Orange, Red and Blue…I still think blue is the best choice :stuck_out_tongue:

Also messed with his body’s spec, trying to make the rocky bits pop more.

Edit> is his middle part too noisy, i wonder?

#86

he is roots …or rocks, blue tones helps, i think he is in the mob.
looking great

#87

Thanks. More painting, nearing completion, i think going to spend the next week tweaking, making a base and building a simple rig. Any ideas for a base? I was thinking a rocky terrain with bits of debris scattered around, some piping, grates, maybe a helmet with some blood smears?

Gavin, he looks awesome man:thumbsup:

i find the blue on his arms a little too solid, like he’s starting to freeze or something, but definatley the right way to go with the colours, and the flesh is just, i don’t wanna say perfect, but thats what it is…

how’s this for a base, i’ll send you my guy and you can have him broken and bloodied at this guys feet. (of course, you’ll have to finish off that model yourself, so if you wanna send him back to me before the deadline that’d be swell.):wink:

#89

the middle part is too noisy :).

i still think it needs more color variation :wise:.

ScudzAlmighty: you can’t use other peoples characters in your images. me and a friend thought about using each others character for the beauty shot. we asked fred_h about this and said it is not ok .

Amazing work, the blue glow reminds me of Corum, last Dominance War winner :slight_smile: I really like your concept great execution too. The modeling and texturing are superb, I love the crystalized forearms.

Keep it up

#91

very awesome stuff man! love this character, only thing i could think of is maybe trying to add some more hues in both the blue crystals (like some slight greens) and the skin/ stone could use a little subtle hue variation too. Kick arse piece man!

#92

nikudy, ahem, that was my of saying that he’s already won the war imo (and to possibly trick him into finishing my model for me), but yeah, i know we can’t do that…:wise:

#93

Hah, thanks guys. I’m going to be working on a simple base and rig for him over the next few days and will probably be putting finishing touches on him right until the deadline.

Yeah, Scudz is just kidding around…it’s a shame that the internet doesn’t have a colour for sarcasm :stuck_out_tongue:

Peace!
Gav

#94

stunning!
think the body needs a few specks of varrying hue though.

#95

I agree with erik, he could use some varied colors throughout. Looks a tad monochromatic over all. Some aqua tones in the crystals, different shades of brown even some gray in his body, possibly some orange or fleshtones mixed in. Of course these are only suggestions, I know you have your own vision of this guy ;). Looking good.

#96

Thanks guys!

Here is a test with him on his base and in a pose. The pose isn’t much, just enough to get him out of his modeled pose. I’m still working on the construction sheets and everything…wondering how much presentation really matters :stuck_out_tongue: I’m cramming allof my textures onto this one 800x900 image and everything looks SO tiny, heh. Maybe once I’m more awake I’ll think of a better way to show everything off.

#97

looks great but still think he needs some varrying colour… he’s barely bichromatic and needs some other hues except subtle earth colour and isolated clear blue. the model is really great but the colour scheme isn’t nearly as great.

#98

Thanks eric! I’ll probably be tweaking the texture over the next few days. Just wanted to get this stuff out of the way before calling it “done” :slight_smile:

I hate guys like you. Keep making people like me jealous and jobless. Anyway the blue on the hand seems to be splattered on top…Perhaps splattered in a more tribal war paint way? That way you can paint the face too! Haha. Anyway another inspiring piece!

Love the way your character has come out. Wish I could see more of him! I especially like the way you are getting the glow in the mouth, how are you doing that? Good Luck!
