lol, thanks guys. :slight_smile:

Do you think I should put a nudity warning on the thread’s title? I don’t want it to seem as if I’m just trying to draw in viewers, though.

Here’s an update:

Also, my 1024x768 image for the challenge site is here: http://www.mtmckinley.net/cgtalk/medusa_entry7.jpg

Thanks guys! :smiley:

How do You make so cool cloths…:drool: ?
Keep it coming:thumbsup:

#82

Thanks, Azazel! :slight_smile:

Just lots and lots of cutting and tweaking. lol

Robe is coming along pretty good. I know the shoulder area looks funky right now. It’ll be smoothed out eventually:

#83

Ok, I think I’ve got the robe pretty much done! Still got some details to add, but this is the general shape so far.

Hi-res! http://www.mtmckinley.net/cgtalk/robe6whi.jpg

If the fact that she’s partially nude is a problem to anyone, please let me know and I’ll cover her up more.

#84

:bounce: Clothes are really coming along nicely :thumbsup:

#85

Really nice modeling and concepts. :applause:
I would love the way clothes fall over her skin, it really brings up her feminility.

Do you know where do I find some tutorials about clothes modeling?

#86

way to go man! This really is looking great. Right now she looks a little bit stiff, i think she would be more relaxed, expecially if she’s exposing herself like that :slight_smile: It would be cool if her “robe” was more flowy especially at the bottom. I know you’re probably not done yet, but it would be cool if it were trailing off behind her, or if it spread out on the ground like it was really really long, know what i mean? Anyway you’ve done a great job with this :slight_smile:

#87

Don’t know if Tolkien would approve, but doubt you’ll have to many complaints here!:smiley:

#88

Thanks, Dimitri :wink:

Slot - I don’t know about any tutorials… I kinda just cut paths along where I thought folds would go and went from there. :slight_smile: Thanks!

Rye - Well, the idea was that she is in the middle of covering up… not flashing people. lol I do plan on adding more “flowy”-ness to her robe. :smiley: Thanks!

Rhid1en - lol, thanks! :wink:

#89

Took mostly a break today, but I messed with it a little bit. :slight_smile:

#90

Didn’t really have a lot of time to work on her today, as I’ve been job-hunting and such. But I think the model is pretty much done for now. The hem of her robe isn’t all that impressive, but my plan is to have her emerging from a pool of some sort, so you won’t see that part of the robe in the final.

Also, I’ve had a couple complaints regarding the visible nipple, so I’ve “covered” it sorta. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, I made this belt-type thing… don’t know if I’ll keep it for now. What do you guys think?

I’ve also given her hips a slight shift to her right… gives her cooler stance, I think.

Thanks!

#91

:bounce: wow…it’s progressing very well!!!

the only thing i would touch is the belt on her behind…it should be higher and take the out shape of her cute little behind :drool:

lol

:thumbsup: :wavey:

#92

I don’t think this nipple-covering thing is necessary… looks bit off, and must be very uncomfortable to wear :wink:

Belt should interact with robe more, otherwise - great.

#93

thanks, Dimitri!

Azazel - Yes, I agree. What I think I might do is instead of a physical covering is “cover” it with bodypaint/tattoo… if the models in Sports Illustrated can get away with it, so can Ms. Midusae here. :wink:

#94

sweet job mtm

hell of a conception gone full circle

only thing nicer would be to have a setting

nice :thumbsup:

#95

Thanks a lot, Virtuoso! :smiley:

Thanks, Nurb’d. :smiley:

A scene is in the plan, I just don’t know if I’ll have time for it in the challenge. I’m working on unwrapping her UVs right now… but I suppose I could make her scene, keeping her kinda “cartoony” shading for now. Do you guys think I should finish texturing her and then make her scene, or go ahead on the scene and risk running out of time to texture her properly? She’d look as she does now, except with better lighting (hopefully :stuck_out_tongue: ).

My plan for the scene is a Dwarven-style cavern. :slight_smile:

Thanks, guys!

#96

Hello mtmckinley!! Nice modeling going on in here!! I’d say fully complete her, textures and all, then if you have time do a support scene…I’d really like to see her textured and completed!! :bounce: Keep up the good work!!:thumbsup:

:wavey:

Thanks, Fetus. :slight_smile:

Ok, I’ve been unwrapping UVs these past couple days when I had a chance. Still need to do her head and headsnakes’ UVs. Anyway, here’s a texture test I’ve done. I’m very open to suggestions. Unfortunately, I don’t have a stylus or light pen or something, so I have to make textures with the mouse. Anyway, comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Eventually, the tatoo thing on her chest will end up being some kind of design that I haven’t decided yet. lol

Thanks!

#98

Well, I’ve been unwrapping this monster of a UV job… still going… slowly but surely. I’m getting less confident that i’ll finish in time. :stuck_out_tongue:

#99

Her fingers look too thin. Maybe half again as thick? Or a quarter? They just stick out as being too small. To me anyway, don’t know about others.

EDIT: Now that I look closer, I don’t think they’d look right if they were thicker.
