Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Angel Nieves

#61

It would be nice to see a pet beastie by her feet. Like a warthog-
hyena-lizard-porcupine purebred. MMMmmmm…fooood.

my challenge

#62

it might take me a little while but I can put something together… stay tuned.

:bounce: my prayers will be answered

maybe combine the plating technique with a classical ornamental decoration ot throne. giving it an archaic but at the same time futuristic tech look.

#63

I like that idea :slight_smile:

#64

I like that idea :slight_smile:

#65

The pet beast idea is good, however, I’m not even sure I can finish all the characters I have right now:sad:

Hi tiburonsita!:love:
hope to see you around more often.

#66

those wrinkles are freaking sweet.

#67

started modeling character #1 even tho the queen isn’t finished yet.

#68

wow… awesome stuff i can c here… how on earth did u managed to model that dress with those wrinckes?.. man that looks just gr8… i’ll b keepin my eyes on this one… keep it up mate

#69

thanks overcontrast, I"ll post an update for the queen soon, have been sick for the last couple of days but I’m back in business. More on how I made the wrinkles soon.:slight_smile:

#70

besides the dress I added some details to the throne.

#71

:eek: :eek: WOW!! those wrinkles on the dress are awesome!! :scream: very cool design on the characters!! keep it up!! :thumbsup:

#72

First I want to congratulate you in your drawing skills! Great concepts! I also liked the dress you did (which program are you using?) I think your idea fits nicely, but I agree with the problem that you will deal: How would you express the queen’s worries about her son in just one image? Specially if she is alien and has diferent facial expressions than humans (just a thought)
In general, great work! I will love to see some deep texturing!

#73

Very well done!

#74

thanks for the comments guys. :thumbsup:

Nikus, here is my response to Sky_one which answers your question as well.

I know what you mean, Sky_one. I thought that even if you don’t know the story it would work, it would leave the viewer to speculate, and make you think of why is the queen so upset. I think if I come up with good emotions on the characters the image can be very evocative without the viewer be familiar with the story.

At least I hope I’m right, otherwise my entry will be toast on the get go.

edit
I missed your other question… I use Lightwave 8 and will be using Photoshop for texturing.

#75

if you can bring the idea over to the viewer, the way you describe, it will be that which makes your image so unique & powerful.

it’s the strength of the project, I hope you achieve your goal :thumbsup:

#76

Awesome dress! :love:

Did you use special algorithm on that or you managed to do those wrinkles one by one by tweaking vertexes?
Keep going man! That’s just great!

#77

so far I’m really liking where this one is going. I need to fix the star on the chin, that one will cause too much texture stretching…

#78

hey, that alien is cool, it makes me to remember to sebulba from starwars episode 1.
is very nice…and the idea too

#79

character 1 finished head.

#80

Queen model almost finished. Just some jewelry and it’s done…

Andrey_SE the dress is modeled by adding geometry and moving vertices but more on that soon I promise.
