Races of Middle Earth - character - Leigh


#184

Hey, Leigh - being ‘wraithified’ is guaranteed to put any elf off his silly prancing lark… :wink:
You’ve done a fancy job on the armour and skirt. Are you going to give your elfy-wraith a magic sword to swing?
:slight_smile:


#185

Great job Leigh :slight_smile:


#186

wow! modelling is absolutely awsome! I can’t imaging myself what textures shall look like :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, the armour is practically useless, cause it’s kinda short and leaves a lot of vitally important organs open (stomach, neck etc.) I’m not surprised he became a wraith :slight_smile:

But, it’s a fantasy after all, it must look great foremost.
Good luck!


#187

great job! it’s nice to see the mods come and join.
i’ll bet you’re itching to texture it.
is that your rigging pose? maybe the arms are too short… or its just the foreshortening,prolly
dont you want to give it a bow? a nazgul with a bow… and ethereal arrows…that’d be cool. and the gil-galad’s daggers are somewhat a bit longer i believe…

dmonk: don’t you know leigh that much? she hates clean shiny things… those plates are gonna get grimy and greasy, just wait :wink:


#188

That is one mighty fine looking set of armor! Can’t wait to see it in all its eerieness!! :bounce:


#189

isn’t it eerie going this long with out an update?


#190

Hey everyone, thanks so much again for all the suggestions and kind comments :slight_smile:

Sorry there hasn’t been an update for a few days, but I have been really busy with my book. Hopefully I will have time for another update before the end of the weekend :smiley:

In the meantime, I hope that everyone is having fun with their own entries - looking through all the threads here, it certainly looks like everyone is! Keep up the great work everyone, this is turning out to be an awesome challenge!


#191

No updates? …:hmm: …ok ok…u have done a very cool work.U are so quick!! I must to sey that ur character is one of the most " LOTR like" here!..is cool to see something that u can imagine in the movie! COOL AGAIN!:cool:


#192

Quit making the rest of us look bad…hehe guess that’s sort of the point though…great job Leigh…you’re not done yet are you…you better not be…or…or…ah nevermind…great work:thumbsup:


#193

Thanks OZ and Remi :slight_smile:
Just a bit too busy with my book, and with chatting on CG Talk on IRC to work on this at the moment :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyhoo, thought I’d jump on the GI bandwagon and show a render of the model as it stands:


#194

hey, that render turned out quite alright :slight_smile:


#195

Looking good, Leigh… as usual :wink:
Men han är lite för smal tror jag.
Anyways, keep it up! Its gonna be awsome when you texture it! :D:D

Hurry, hurry, hurry! :bounce: :bounce:


#196

Fantastic job so far Leigh. I would love to see a small video tut on how you model poly by poly. I know that you are really busy at the moment, but once you have some time, could you make a small tut on modeling something that won’t take too long to make, yet complex enough to require your method of modeling?

I can’t wait to see how your wraith will turn out.


#197

Hey Leigh, would it be alright if I use your helmet as a reference and incorporate it as a bit of armor on my characters contraption??? like the Gobutecs (My race) stole it from an elven wraith?


#198

Joril - yup! :smiley:

Sir_Manfred - still too thin?? :surprised But he’s an elf!! :cry:

mohh - yeah, I’d love to do a video tutorial some time… I’ll see when I can fit it into my schedule :wink: Thanks for the compliment :slight_smile:

Dirk_P_Ho - yeah go ahead! :smiley: I don’t mind at all! If you want, I can send you the reference pics I used to model it.


#199

That would be great Leigh!, actually i’ve modelled it a bit but the mesh is a little wonky. but it sure wouldnt hurt to have more refrence, especially since its just a 3/4 view of yours that ive gone off of…


#200

WOW!


#201

Dirk - check your email :wink:

Cikala - thanks :smiley:


#202

Looks awesome, can’t wait til you Wraithify it. What server and channel is the IRC CGTalk on?


#203

Leigh, its just… breathtaking. :bowdown:

Great Job! Hope he makes an appearance in your book :smiley:

One thing, the helmet looks like its squashing the head. Like its been crushed in around the head.

Oh and can I steal some reference too? :bowdown:
