#183

damn the illumination is really nice man! wich software r you using for this?

#184

Thanks. Just some simple max scanline lights. Some omni’s and some spotlights.

#185

Looks cool man, congratulations on finishing!

Waylon

#186

FistOfGod - Thanks. Not done yet but on the home stretch

#187

well this is probably a mistake this late but I am thinking about scrapping the lantern and going for a bigger weapon. He is not really reading as undead necromancer anymore so a think a larger power weapon would suit him with a more dramatic pose. Just a quick test.

I am also looking for a good max viewport shader if anyone has one.

#188

I think maybe no weapon

Ok here is what I banged out at lunch. I just copied the fire onto his hand, I would need to find something better for that in the final. I am not too thrilled with the fire swirls anyway.

Better or should I just start deleting files like a mad monkey?

I liked the render with the sword better personally. You could shorten it to a type of dagger and have the lanteren shot fire by itself, like and automatic turret. While he defended him self close quarters with the blade, just a thought. I’ve been watching this one you have gone through alot of revisions and i’m likeing you entry.

great work

i think giving him a big sword or skythe makes him read too much like a God of War grunt,
the lantern is a much more unique choice of weapon (or at least it was when you first posted your wips, now it seems like every other entry has one; kinda like antique guns and long coats i guess:shrug:)

maybe try giving him more of a zombie like gait to his pose? a bit of a lurching shuffle and cradling the lantern because it’s keeping him alive as well as stealing souls?giv him a feverish grin and some lackeys crawling out of the ground around him and you’ve got a winner:buttrock:

#191

Very nice!
I liked the sword too.

irritated1 - Thanks for the thoughts. I am not sure if I have the skills to pull all that off in a still. Great idea though.

ScudzAlmighty - Heh. Ok I am going to try to go the zombie rising route tomorrow. I need to find a way to make it subtle though as the stand is not the focus.

jogshy - Thanks. Sorry the sword just seemed out of place to me.

Ok I am beat, got to get some sleep before another day of work :slight_smile: Some skinning issues to resolve. I don’t like the drops yet, going to leave some on the ground. I think the ground is going to be a graveyard with a couple corpse hands coming out, like his lantern is bringing them to life with a little glow on the arms to tie it together. I am also messing with how I am going to do the presentation.

#193

Did the start of the base. Going to work the stone more. I am going to add the logo to the stone. Add some fencing along the edges. Weeds along the edges. Corpse hands and some glow from under the ground.

#194

That is freakin’ awesome man!!:thumbsup: Good Work

#195

Cool stuff man, now’s the time to finish strong. Good luck on the last 2 days

#196

damn man the lights are kicking all the arses!!
but I prefer the other fire scheme, it looked like more “fantasy”, this one is kinda messed up hehehe !
really cool man! good luck

#197

I’m stoked for you man! This has turned out amazing! Excellent work. All the stuff you are going to do to the base will make a huge impact. Here’s rooting for ya!:beer: 4 stars from me buddy!

#198

it has turned out great for sure. I love the new pose…good luck man

#199

Stutts - Thanks :slight_smile:

foreverendering - Thanks man You too. can’t wait to see you win :slight_smile:

rart - Thanks. Yeah I think the fire is not working too great. I might try something else

Firerbert - Thanks. Hands and some glows to come

bradjames - Thanks :slight_smile:

Ok I think all that is left is add hands coming out with some glowing to them. I also need to make a simple BG for the beauty shot. I think some dark layered trees might do it. Not going to do much.

I also need to come up with a good way to present these. Some sort of border/treatment/theme that works well. Any idea cause I am not very good at that.

#200

Done and done

Thanks for all the crits, comments and advice during this. I listened to every recommendation. I may not have agreed but I am thankful for the feedback. I had to work a ton tonight to finish this. It is due tomorrow night but I want to have this beautiful weekend with my family. Sorry if there are elements people dislike, maybe mext time.
