Project "amphibia" - stage 01


#38

Things are slowly coming together … although it took nearly a day to figure out what could be worked out… Which included shutting down my pc … going out for a long walk …

Then experimented with a few shapes … had to redo a lot … delete … and finally came down to this …


#39

More shading…after which i can proceed with details


#40

Trying to wrap up the top section …
once this is done … smaller areas will be targeted … and as mentioned before … details.


#41

Slow progress … but need to get things right …

I’m quite satisfied with the form and highlights … however … not too happy with the overdose of blue
(top surface) :\ …

time for some color tweaks!


#42

Toned down the blue … added few details …

More soon!


#43

Been really busy past couple of days :open_mouth:

Here’s a rough concept of various parts …


#44

Things are going to get tough as i progress … but well worth it … i hope O_O

Refinements …


#45

Lot of work pressure ; however … I’ve been experimenting a little during lunch breaks …

Started with the next section …


#46

Back to 3dsmax for some rough modeling and light setup …

This will help me with the overall form and shading. Later on, extra objects will be added to break the smooth flow.


#47

Getting somewhere …


#48

Playing around with few elements to see what works …


#49

Busy week! but the gap helps resolve lot of issues … plus, I’m trying not to get stuck anywhere … so i move onto the next section for corrections, extra details etc…


#50

Bringing in details … but have to be careful not to overdo it.


#51

More touch ups … details …


#52

Switching between sections, adding more details …


#53

Experimenting with the side section…


#54

Refinements in progress …


#55

little nitpicks here and there … but will fix all that toward the final stage.


#56

Lot of work needed for the top section :\


#57

Back with a new update!
Been extremely busy with work though :frowning:

However … i was getting really saturated / frustrated with the inorganic parts …
( i can see new mistakes now ___ )

But keeping those for later … i just felt it was high time i start off with the most precious part of this piece – her face :slight_smile:

slowly … very slowly … it’s coming together …

will be back with something else …

nite Nite zZZzz
