Dominance War V - 3D - [mad-one] - God Of Insects

#21

Great progress so far, will keep an eye on this one :slight_smile:

#22

dont worry about wips, are really enjoyable.

Clean and good work.!

EDIT: check the quantity of polys in those little things around the chestā€¦ is more dense than the others in the pauldrons.

#23

\o/

Aye I will look over those polys lather on, once I got everything in more or less before going on to the highres end of it all. Still quite a few things I need to get in there :slight_smile:

#24

Did a few tweaks and worked a bit on lower part.

#25

Sweet, I dig the idea of the mask being a human face, pretty sweet.

#26

Great concept

#27

Cheers!

Rearanged the wings and the hard shell over them.

#28

This is an amazing concept and model! I canā€™t wait to see the finished product :slight_smile:

#29

This is the best one Iā€™ve seen on this challenge yet. I am really looking forward to itā€™s completionā€¦ Iā€™m going to have to step up my gameā€¦

#30

Thanks a lot for the support! :slight_smile:

Very glad to hear you like where this is going.

More wips for you guys, hope you like them.

As you can see legs will be covered with wings/fabric in the end. Not sure if I will try to make them visible somehow.

#31

Phew did quite a lot of work on preparing the mesh. Soon time for sculptingā€¦ canā€™t wait!
Going to tweak the twisted soft shapes in the back of the head or they will kill my lowpoly model eventually :slight_smile: and reducing polys on those will show instantly I recon. Also will rework the wings that hold the lower part into cocoon, gonna try to make it work with transparency and make the fabric behind a bit more interesting. Love the experimentation part, very exited.




#32

always love your design,i think if you dont smooth ,and just keep original wireframe,keep the feeling of straight line,maybe will make it better!!(just my thought)

#33

looking really nice man, really nice design. I love all the little appendages and the functionality of all the elements (wings folding in, the human mask over the insect face), very cool.
I was originally going to do an insect god myself, glad I didnā€™t, your concept knocks mine out of the park.
Keep up the good work :slight_smile:

#34

this guy is looking sweet, really enjoy the layering of his wings and armor, canā€™t wait to see some high resā€¦

Keep it up:cool:

#35

Very interresting design. Very unusual. I like it :thumbsup:

#36

@Velkin: Thanks I hope I will manage to see this one trough all the way!

@GnarART: the weather out is just pure awesome and itā€™s very hard to focus on this, but I am trying to poke highres a bit now (some wips for you) ^^

@nmcelmury: I am glad the functionality of it shows and appreciated. I hope you will like the final thing sins itā€™s can be quite tricky to make it work all the way through especially in this case for me :slight_smile: I really wanted to make something entirely different and push some ideas I had as much as possible.

@petrel: thanks for your feedback, yea I am going to make it somewhat more defined in highres and a bit less rounded so to speak. But overall I am going to aim for more round and organic shapes all the way through, to make it come together better as a whole. I am quite sure it will feel a lot better once everything will pop in place :slight_smile:

#38

Sculpting and sculpting some more.

#39

Interesting design and crazy sculpting!
The mask reminds me of a boss of Soul Reaver with a openable faceā€¦!

I loved that game, who reminds it? :slight_smile:

Keep up with the sculpting!

#40

@stefanobernardi: Thanks! Havenā€™t played that game though :slight_smile:

Some more wips, getting thereā€¦ very hard to find time grr, but I am doing as much as I can.
Tweaked some stuff on the chest, added some details on the hard shell that protect wings.
Made a small hard shell at the back skull shaped, sins some bugs do have that and I find it very interresting.
Soon time to wrap this highres up! Hope you like ^^
