Races of Middle Earth - character - Chad-d

#24

This matches Middle Earth perfectly - im stressed as hell what it will look like with a cool texture.

Maybe he could afford thicker lips since they do look a little lost with his mouth opend :hmm:

#25

#26

#28

Hey Chad-D, (I love your avatar) nice detailed head you got there… I hope you’ll post an update some day. I just can’t wait to see the body. Great work so far.:thumbsup:

I’m still waiting for you to come in Spain…:stuck_out_tongue:

#29

cerreto, pigwater, dark_lotus, Faraguay: Thanks guys!

ahrens I’m trying as hard as I can to come up with a good texture. I want something that will feel like its alive/real.

-OZ-:I’m Sure you’ll do WAY better then that tree thing I’ve done. I haven’t even finished it yet!! Thanks for the kind words MASTER OZ!! :bowdown: :bowdown:

Forgot to add picture of my new and improved ears!!!

#31

wow!!
i love those ears and the wicked smile!!!
feels like the kind of creature you DONT want to meet on the dark of the forest!!

#32

dies-irae: Well then I’m on the right track I guess! :stuck_out_tongue:

Heres the body so far. I’ve switched to Wings3D so I can move faster. I still need to get the 2nd pair of arms bulked out before I detail the rest of his body.

#33

good job mate. need to work on the eyes a little more. also the torso looks too flimsy. it wouldn’t support a head like that.:beer:

#34

Finally I can update!! I’ve decided to scrap the head because of its resemblance to Gollum. Here is the new head design along with a new torso model. The nubs you see in its back will be the back arms.

#35

Crazy! Back Arms! :slight_smile: Looking forward to the musculature!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Farley!

Here’s the start of the head…still lots of details to work on, especially around the mouth! :wavey:

#37

Doh! forgot the image!

#38

That body is looking so good chad! I’m lovin’ it. Im not sure the head really matches the slimness of the body, but I’ll have to wait until you attatch it on there. :wip: work work work!

#39

Rye:Thanks man! I’ve just slimmed the face so its more bony.

Here is a little update, I’ve added some mesh for the wrinkles. Here is what it will look like when they are put into effect.

UPDATED IMAGE BELOW!!

#40

Ok here is another update. This is the final head. All I need are teeth, gums, and a tounge then I’ll attach it to the body. Also there aren’t any textures on the head (eyes are textured). :bounce:

#43

Fetus23:Thanks!! I’ve been trying to make my renders more interesting…I hope its working! :arteest:

Wiz:Wiz my good ol’ pal! Yes yes we started about the same time. I’ve loved watching your progress! Always makes me want to work work work. :thumbsup:

Ok I’ve been experiencing some technical difficulties and school has been hammering me lately. I got a few minutes to work on it tonight so I tweaked the head (sheesh! when will I finish the d@mn thing!) so that it didn’t look so human. I still need to add ears… :wip:
Now lets see if this new web host works…

I’ll have most of the weekend free so I’ll do as much as I can then. :wavey:
