wow! lildragon!! That is just fab!! As far as a texture…a wrinkly/leathery/warty looking skin would be awesome…with some big gray/pinkish hairy warts…

And thank you for the link to the Middle Earth font!!:bowdown:

Lildragon, great model. I like your weapon choice; a hammer is quite unique :thumbsup:

As for comments (mandatory over here): please don’t listen to the people who suggest mold/warts/pus.

Just keep him much like an elephant. Perhaps a bit of dirt, but don’t over do the “uglyness” That will look better.

(above is IMHO ofcourse)

Looking absolutely sexy lildragon! I really enjoy the finder details of the armoring.

I still the think the area where the bicep/upper arm connects to the forearm is to skinny. Looks a lil off IMO.

Can’t wait to see you bust out some nice textures…And that arm wrestle of course… :wink:

#128

this is turning out great Tito , cant wait to see you start to texture it!.

:beer:

#129

Well it’s nice to see you have arrived at the texture stage. A very fierce creature fully armored,truely belongs to the World of LOTR.
I like the Rhino and Elephant skins DimitrisLiatsos suggested as well,they just seem to belong on your creature.Perhaps some wispy type fur to go along with it and some extra fun with Photoshop too would be nice additions.

          I think a rust of almost a Black nature belongs on him.This creature looks to be very battle hardened,Not much time for polishing and care of his armor.Chips,scrapes,maybe a broken piece or two in the geometry of the armor.

          Well I hope to see him in living color soon.Very nice thus far indeed.:beer: :thumbsup:

#134

[shamelessplug] Hey Tito, what about the RANSOMACTIVE texture CDs I sent you?! [/shamelessplug]

:wink:

Looks great! I wish I had more time to work on my 3D skillz! One day I will. Keep it up, bud.

Fetus23 Actually I found the perfect texture :wink:

Dreamwave not the program just a uv sheet you can grab here :wink: http://www.aliaswavefront.com/en/Tmpl/Maya/html/index.jhtml;$sessionid$VUX0FEIAAR1NDQCLCVBRT4Q?page=/en/Community/Download/source_images/utility_markers/utility_markers_m.html

Edge3343 LOL!! :stuck_out_tongue: you’re right though, I took an in-depth look through the cd’s today, and low and behold I didn’t know you had skins, well leather, so I took the binder leather texture and it was just what I was looking for seriously. I found everything I needed from the CD’s except for the skin, now I found it :stuck_out_tongue: you gotta make a directory for creature skins next time heheh. But yeah its all there now
KingMob lol yeah… do… doo…do. doo… doo. doo

Back to it :wip:
