Well i’m not blown away yet. Could be the fact that this is simply the Joan of Arc tutorial put in practice yet again.

If you extend this MUCH further and add MUCH more detail than the Joan of Arc tutorial goes into then, and only then, will I (and anyone who’s done the Joan of Arc tutorial) be impressed.

Yep Joan tutorial + Arndt von Keonigsmarck book (I work using Cinema 4D) and a lot of nicotine… the first time that I build a charachet it was for Renderosity monster contest… But now this one is more harderrrrrr… hehe

Well normally I build trees, houses, townplanning maquette, without this tutorial and the book I think I will be lost :smiley:

And well yes for me the tutorial is a good way to do the body, the first early part of my project… I hope (hem… I will) do more than the basic… hope I can reach this ‘personal’ purpose (my target).

many many thanks… yep by the end the nose is nose + the deep between eyes and nose I think the problem…

Cartesius >

The mesh looks good, it could be better but I think it will fit very well with your stylized body. Keep it up!

On a serious note: do as much as you can and don’t stare yourself blind at the deadline. If you can’t make it you’ll at least have a personal project that’s very good.

thanks for support Cartesius… and yes I will do as so much as I can !
well the mesh problem I think is more a problem of practice… This is a first serius exam for me… :wink:

JamesMK >

You will finish. Trust me, there is no way to escape the challenge.

hehe… thanks for support to you too :wink:

Lemog >
merci 1000 fois

heeee, yep but I work on other 2 architectural / landscape contest, 2 much at same time hehehe… but you are right !

2 architectural / landscape contest… I understand better now :eek:

That’s professionnals contest or only for the pleasure ? I’m really curious, but I like much architecture :blush:

#54

No is for prefessional purpose,
1 is an international Town-Planning (+arch and landscape) contest in Switzerland, sorry but 'cause the anonymity I can tell what is it… I do it with 9 other offices (architecture, townplanning and Ingeneering)
1 (the other one) is a contest for a high-school project that I do with an architect… + my works that I have to do for eating heheh :D…
Well is really a hard moment but I’m happy becase is no long that I ‘free-lancer’ in this domain… and the battle to survive is hard…

If somebody need a landscape archiect, call me :smiley: hahaha…

I’m really curious, but I like much architecture

I had some works in Paris, so I’m alot in France for my work et j’aime la France haaa… but landscape architecture works… a excellent sinergy (heee is right sinergy in english ?) to work in collaborations with architects, landscape architect and town-planning offices…

Thanks for these precisions… :beer:

Good to see you have time to join back with
your work JD :)! Keep it up and fast.
Looks fine so far :thumbsup:

#57

Ok, I starded the head, the I need to admit that I have some pain… so to avoid to loose the fantasy I continue to work on the body. I separete the legs from the rest of the body to be ready now to do the cable, and define a form for my shoes. I will attach some electric cable at the shoes too… will see now how to do the cable…

Julien…Nice smooth body.You are doing quite well,she has this toon meets real World caricature look and style,I like this…:thumbsup:

            Nice to see another architecture lover.........I am an architect................turned CG World builder.......So much more freedom and the ceilings are lifted creativity wise with CG..........Civil engineering in France,is that your work?

            Ok keep going with your girl,she looks nice,and as for the deadline don't let it worry you..............get done what you can,don't compromise your work because of it,don't rush it and then in the long run have a piece of work that does not quite make it to where you had hoped due to rushing it for time constraints.......In the end your portfolio/reel are the most important.............Get done what you can at it's best,hopefully by the end of the challenge,if not than continue with her afterwards,don't sweat it.............................

          See you later for now,keep at it hard,looking good,nice idea to by the way.....................:buttrock: :beer:

Yep, I like that body! Like Virtuoso says it has a fantasy/toon meets reality flair to it that’s very attractive. Maybe her lower legs could be a bit shorter as they now are even longer than her thigh, but that’s about the only thing I would really change.

Let us know how you get on with those cables, I’m a bit curious :wink:

hehe cables are on the way… but I will spend more time that I thinked at the beginning but no problem: I do it :wink:

About legs I’m agree with you, modelling boots from the foot that I’ve made at beginning, legs now are 20 cm longer… I ill take this like an advatage when I pose my figure to obtain a more dinamic ‘cartoonish’ style… but I will keep the comment in mind !

thanks so much

Ok friends and supporters

I need to be honest: I’m quiet sure that I can’t finish my challenge. Like I told you in a message before I got an important landscape architectural contest that kill all my time.

I got my workstations completely locked for this contest because I modeling a terrain of a part of a city (terrain, buildings, trees, cars, bla bla bla) and this require more time that I thanked.

I will finish this project but probably I don’t have enough time to finish it for contest dead lines. I’m sure you will understand… For me this Cgtalk contest is really important, a wonderful occasion to have fun, meet wonderful people and an excellent moment to confront my self with the public (you), because each contest milestone need to be published

I’m not expert in body modeling (you realize this hehe) so my wish was to create a funny and interesting body (figure) using some tools (tutorials, books) and my personal creativity to do something different from trees and landscape architecture viz.

The actual architecture contest is for me a special and unique occasion I must grab it !

If I got enough time I will post some other WIP, promise, but I don’t want to speed up and present some bad modeling or texture works. I will be really sad if I ruin my angel work and just do it for finishing it. Tat will kill my enthusiasm to come back here in Cgtalk, talking about 3D with you.

Don’t think that I’m happy to wrote this message to you :cry: , don’t think that I’m lazy. I’m really working hard and like other free-lancer, you know is fantastic to be free, but sometimes the time that you have you need to spend for your work…

Much Respect to :buttrock:

Don’t worry, Julien, it was fun following your progress while it lasted! Of course you should focus on your landscape architecture, but only if you promise to finish the body someday (just kidding) :slight_smile:

Good luck! :beer:

#67

Ah, there’s always something that needs priority… you have to perform some triage every now and then - - - best of luck with the landscaping instead!

… and see you around later :wavey:

#68

Anders: ohhh yes I will continue on this body figure… an excellent exercise and I will have some body made by my self in my gallery, hehe…

De rien l’ami… ça fait toujours plaisir de rencontrer quelqu’un de très sympathique, et en plus, très doué !!! :thumbsup:

It’s always a great pleasure to meet a terribly sympathic person… and so talentuous…
