markw7, Thanks man! Really apreciate the support. I’ll write some more things out around tommorow night. About the alian movie. I’ve never seen it :hmm: I think I saw one movie, but that was some years ago and I can’t recall much of it, I’ll see if one of my friends happens to own it :thumbsup:

userBrian, Yeah, I like to work it out and get the best idea possible. I could of course have gone with one of the original ideas, but when I work this things out, all kinds of possibilities enter my mind and I can see little flashes of images apearing in my head and I get all these tingles of exitment in my stomach becuase I know it will be cool if I work hard :smiley:
I’ll show the faces of the humans for sure. I figured that out some time ago and in the previous post I stated that I’ll probably will use more than 1 person, so don’t worry, you’ll get a good look of him :wink: You also understood the big window thing very well, that’s kind of what I have in minde :thumbsup:

Wow! great concept you got there, but you are missing one point, or I missunderstood your writting (probably)

How long did it took after the implant was made on the moon, for humans to walk around the place with no suit. I still think, you should give it a long period, I mean the place has to get used to the “air” It will cause a raised in bacterias unknown by men.

I don’t know I think you should add some sort of transition change in there. After reading the whole thing out. I realised that the period of time is too short, I think you should work just a tiny bit in the scale of time .

  • cheers!

Very involved and in-depth storyline.I think the concepts shown with this story show a very promising final here,keep at it,your thoughts and passion show here,I’ll be keeping an eye out for your progress Jeroen…Nice start.:arteest:

Hey there, guess what! I started the model :smiley:

Here you can see the head of the king. Still WIP and I still gotta add the body :stuck_out_tongue:

#45

I’ve made some quick test shapes to see how the model will react to facial expresions. It works quite good, the mouth shapes works pretty well and I’m happy about it :slight_smile:
Some thing I should work on are:

  • the masses at the brows, to make a better brow squeez.
  • improve the mouth-crease-loop (which isn’t really there atm)

Cya!

Great work you have done here… there is one thing I don’t like and I think you should re-consider… The nostrils are kind of weird looking… I mean, he has such a big nose, I think you should reconsider the nostril design. Look at yourself in the mirror and stare at your nose “nostrils” I know this is not an human “but its a humanoid” there is no much difference from this character to us, when it comes to fisical anatomy (muscles, facial muscles, expresions, etc) But overal, it looks very good.

Congratulations!
-cheers; keep the good work.

Cool modeling so far… i like the expression test. :slight_smile:

For the nostril i’m agree with ARSA, but it’s just a opinion… you are the master of your work!!
Otherwise keep going!! :buttrock:

Here are some more model screenies.
I updated the head topology, it’s much better now IMO. The ears are like in the concept now.

I also started working on the body. I kept it simple. Blocking out all the volume and after that I’m going to add details and little borders, fancy things, juwels etc. As for the leg, it’s blocked out too, nothing fancy, don’t even have feet. The leg will be quite detailed since most of it will be visible.

tell me what ya think!

Well like I said before! Great job man!

My only concern is the shape of his head and the size of his brain… For a creature so smart/wise it doesnt have a front lobe and this might cause problems in the way this creature develope his functions and the way it makes desitions. I think the back of his head is ok, but the way his cranius is flat (front and top) makes me wonder… where is the brain…

Again this is my personal opinion…

- Cheers!

heya…

the modelling is coming along nicely, I like the test shapes you posted - more life into the character.

I’m not a fan of the nostrils tho, but that’s my 2cents

oshiroii- Your last post was 11-03-04. Today is 12-28-04. You are missing in action.
This is exactly what I didn’t want to do. That’s why I just built on just about the first
thing I had in mind. I knew if I got started I’d have a base. And I never dreamed I’d
add that Opera Singer! Actually I could have stayed at the dream stage forever and
never thought of him. My ideas come from what I have, and trying to add to that, not
constantly re-inventing the wheel of original spark ideas, but who knows? You’ve got me thinking, and I like your approach. I think I will use it next time, maybe I wont get stuck
with a crazy opera singer! Best of wishes for the new year!

yo ik vind het erg mooi,
ik vraag me af of je het zelf hebt geleerd… of heb je er voor gestudeerd ?

Should have posted this earlier I guess, but here it goes:

I’ve spend a lot of time to school and I worked on a lot of other things. I’ve done quite some 2d animation, research, life drawings, anatomy etc. so I got pretty much distracted from the project, which isn’t good, I know. The real bad thing is that I’m missing files. The head files are ok, but the files in which I worked on the body seem to be errased from my computer. I’ve had way too many computer crashes and corrupt files and finally everything seems to be working ok, but I’m still missing some things. I’ll work out the king and the guard some time, but I think this project has come to an end for me for now :sad: Thanks for all the suppport and best wishes to you all :wink:
