Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Eric Normandin

[mikepolizos]

Yeap background seems cool to me too!
God job mate!

Keep them coming!

[claudiojordao]

Some say that the eyes are the reflection of the soul… does your character have a soul?

I think your background is very good, but, somehow it gives me the impression that your character is much more evolve than the place where he is, maybe, and this is oly an idea, you could “blend” the two, in a way that we could sense that he is home!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:drool: At the first look i thought your background was picture …not a post …DAMN!!!

[Vladvrz]

Is some very fine work here,nice texture work and finish will be great to see.:buttrock:

[Tremoside]

[claudiojordao]

not exactly what I had in mind… yet, a great solution… it’s looking very good

[Virtuoso]

A list i know you will conquer Eric…One of my fav’s,and something here for you to be proud of,from modeling and concept to textures…the scene fits well with our noble being I see too…Go at it hard Eric,a wonderful job in all regards…cherers…

                                 :buttrock: :cool:

[Lemog]

Go Eric, don’t stop… I sure you finish in time
I’m think the result will be great…

Go… go… :bounce:

[Squibbit]

I liked the clean black and blue design better

[rattlesnake]

wow is looking great! you are doing a nice environment there man! … i like all your modeling and texturing … but i have an idea about lighting… what about white lights instead red ones?.. hehe just wondering… it looks cool the way it is! i love the futuristic touch in all your concept man … it rocks!.. hope time is enought for remaining task… good luck!

[Saschi0815]

yes, your environment fits very well with your charakter:applause: Definitely one of my favorites !!!

Maybe a little more light could be good to see your buttrockin’ details,mate!!!

yeeahh- go-go-a-go-go:buttrock:

[madshooter]

Amazing, it looks like a sci-fi movie scene. I like your work:thumbsup:

[Tremoside]

Yesss! Eric it’s really fine!!! Nice to see the setups!

I think the red light is not your best choice here that is too warm to this scene and it flips the perspective a bit becouse it’s too strong for a backround. Of course it’s your taste and your decision…maybe if you keep that an other coloured lightsource could be fine in the frontal area of the envvironment just for keep the balance…:rolleyes:
I can’t say anything else coz this work is too good…you…you…hah! Am bored about this perfect work!!! Stop it!!!
Cya,
Tremo

Ps: I’m serious You know I’m glad when i see works like this, just a piece of mind and art. :bowdown: Man you MUST BE INSPIRED!!!

[JPCohet]

Yes, yes, a lot of work to do.
I am adding one more (sorry) :
can you make a different pose for each character ?
(for more realism)
If you have too much things to do, make a choice !
Courage.

THANK YOU ALL MY FRIENDS

@ claudio_jordao thanks man, that’s not the final one I’ll tweak it again : )

@ Virtuoso A big thanks to you Micheal Your support really help me man and I am very happy that you like my work, it’s a real honor to hear those words. cya soon mate

@ Lemog Thanks man, yes I hop to finish on time, no more sleep for me hehe cya soin mate

@ Squibbit well this would be a great amount of work to do that background and this is more a caracter contest so I decided to do this one… but I may try to do the bleu one after the contest. Thanks for the suggestion.

@ rattlesnake thanks my friend yes I will try your suggestion for sure stay tuned, and yes I hope to have the time to finish all heheh Cya soon mate btw your work is stuning.

@ Saschi0815 Really happy to hear those kind words Sashi. just can’t thank you enough. yes I will try with more light thanks for the sugestion mate.

@ madshooter Thank you so much mate. : )

@ Tremoside Thank you so much my friend for those kind words and for that suggestion. I will try it for sure I think your right for the lights. I am at texturing the rest of the boddy now but I’ll return soon to finish the corridor. thanks again mate cya soon.

@ JPCohet yes a lot work, very tight schedule hehe Yes the caracter will be in different pose, they are not rigged yet so that’s why they look like 2 robots hehe thanks for the coments

[EmpY]

You will kill me for this I know.

I like the enviroment, it is great and it would be fantastic for an animation shot, but, for a highres still I’m not so sure! Your previous GI tests where the Alien is in whiteish/blueish “room”
looked great and brought the character to focus. I know he is
very tall and thus dificult to layout in composition. I’m just
thinking you could try a few more layouts before choosing
a definite one. Just my thoughts friend!

I’m 100% sure your alien will ROCK!!!

[adr]

Nice update Cygnus , this guy looks great against the background . IMO you can move the camera down , just a little bit . He will look more imponent. Im not sure about the red light but is up to you bud

Keep going bud:bounce: :bounce:
