Hi Leigh,

Let me be the “bollock in the soup” (french expression), by criticizing when everybody’s congratulate…

I think your helmet has a problem . Imo, you should build it the same way you did with the rest of the armor : with several pieces attached together .

With “medieval” building constraints, the only way of making a one-piece helmet like yours would be to hammer a metal sheet until it get rounded :wip: , but it would then imply that the thickness of it remains almost the same all along .
I think right now it looks really too “modern”, like coming out from a factory/plastic mold .

I really (really really) believe it would look ten times better with a several pieces approch .

Your textures look gorgeous so far !! :applause:

Waiting as everybody for the next wip .
Keep it the good work ! :buttrock:

Yeah Leigh, the armor is amazing! I love the detail in it, and the textures are awesome. But i have to agree with El Tonio, that the helmet looks kinda out of place. I agree it prolly would look better in multiple pieces. But other than that it looks great! I can’t wait to see more.

:bounce: OMG Leigh you made me register on this forum just to reply on this thread.

It’s absolutely amazing what you made here, both model- and texture wise. I was working on such a helmet from the LotR prologue as well, but I don’t think I’ll ever dare to work on it again after seeiing this.

Is there any chance you’re going to document how you made this piece of art step by step? :drool:

Hey fit, welcome to the forums, have you checked out leighs tutorials on trexturing and such?

#297

In the middle of so much posts it is useless to say how beatyfull is your work, specially your texturing work, but I just can’t help myself. It is amazing to see how you develop your character.

Keep up.

I am sorry that there has not been an update in a while, but I’ve been running around like a mad thing doing lots of other stuff :sad:

This is what I love about Leigh’s thread. It has her amazing artwork, but it also rambles on with odd conversation just like #cgtalk. Brilliant.:smiley:

#304

dudeguy - Someone who dares challenge Leigh with constructive critism… step backs You are brave. :stuck_out_tongue: Hehe anyway, some things you question answers themself. She works professionally with textures dude! :> The way she wants it is the way it will be :stuck_out_tongue:

I love it though… :wink:
