awesome Heber! I really like the blue guy :), but the green tattoo doesn’t quite go with it …

hey man, very good modeling. i do like the weapon modeling but somehow the bow and arrow dont seem right for this type of bulky character. i mean just looking at his fingers i dont think he would be able to hold the arrow properly. he looks more like a axe and big sword or hammer type. just my opinion.

nice modeling skills :applause:.
i like the last paintover ( “C”) but i would go for a darker tatoo.

i think the paintovers suck. especially the blue one. the brown ones are great (as far as garbage is concerned) they are safe, normal, and bland. kind’ve like guys who wear suits, those guys go far and end up killing themselves from the blackhole they’ve replaced their souls with.
on the plus side i like the armor texture but it needs some work.
(edit: for angry people ready to fight, heber and i are friends, this post is to make him laugh, and he knows i like the blue one. thks )

Well, that was very helpful. I’m glad we have people like you posting on CGTalk so that we can all learn from your constructive criticism and friendly attitude.
Say, would you mind popping on over to my thread and giving me some helpful advice? I like receiving comments from people whose voices are muffled by their own rectal tissues.

thanks guys, its cool hes just joking but didnt make it very clear at first 
yeah green doesnt seem to be working for the tat, ill try something else when i get home, thanks for all the feedback on the palette though,
mashru: yeah you are totally right but im going to probably make some change to the bow to better fit his hands but id hate to lose it all together, just dont want to give him a gun or knife.
thanks.

I have to agree that I also find the bright tattoo odd… But, if you want to go for a brighter color, maybe something like a yellow tat on the blue skin would stand out more. Or, if you go for option C a bright red tat.
At any rate, keep going, this is shaping up very nicely

Heber your work never dissappoints man, i really like where you have gone with this, im with the others on that tattoo tho i think its a bit to bright. Anyways im sure your next update will change that so i cant wait to see what you do.

One idea that might work for the tat is to make it a paint job, perhaps a sloppier one AKA the hand of Saruman on the Uruk-Hai?
You could make the image a little rougher, a little drippy, and then mask it out of the cavities since you can’t get paint to stick to the crevices. Just an idea.

Nice character man. If you want to the tattoo to work I suggest making the values contrast more. Right now the tattoo and the skin values are too similar so its not popping as you may want. The color should be secondary. Just my opinion. I can’t wait to see how it your entry turns out.

come on you can do it. just think it over one last time. cgtalk can use an entry like yours.
ps. i might also have to surrender. full time work and life activities leaves me no extra time to work on this. but there is still 6 days so lets hope for a miracle.

Sweet stuff. Makes me want to get off my ass and do some hardcore modeling/sculpting Although my crash course in Maya isn’t helping.
