About Ar-Lum, it was my goal to make a 3D character looking 2D, it’s almost thanks to particules and draw textures that this one is looking like that, but as i said : it was my goal. :wink:

For Wynrorn : I modeled him like this, and it will take alot of time to make his mouth closed for me, coz i have some troubles with animation :wink: … Anyway, i know what you mean, and it would have been great to have different version :wink: but after all Wynrorn is bad, and always yelling across fangorn forest, so it was for me the way for you to see what’s his main expression.

About Gal-Dig : yea i agree… but like alot of humanoid of its size. Anyway, check the final images in a couple of weeks and then you’ll tell me about him :wink:

Thanks for your constructive critics, and nice words :buttrock:

Well this time, i worked a little more on lights and textures, and just a little bit on bones. I didn’t have time to put bones on fingers, so here’s just a little test.

I finish with the plug of OGO_Taiki for the volumetric sky. This time is my last image. I just wanted to send a message on this last one. I will not tell anything about it, but you’ll have your own opinion about it.

Anyway, in this one, imagine the fall of Isengard, and all those drillers going back home… But where are their homes ? :surprised

Hi Strike…:wavey:

        I just wanted to come in and say i think your efforts for this challenge have been [b]excellent[/b].It's been really fun seiing all of your creations.Three of them,and all speacial in ther own unique ways. 

         I look forward to a final shot,I wonder what you have in mind? either way i think it will be really well done and great to look at.Once again Bravo for some great models and very fine showcasing of your skills.

        :thumbsup: :applause: :beer: ..........All for your three creations...........:beer:

Thanks virtuoso, it was a pleasure to be in this one. And also a pleasure to see some people appreciate it as well :wink:

Anyway, i think this time will be the last for me. This thread had alot of views and answers during the last 2 months, but not the goal i hoped. :shrug: … Three different characters in so less time was for me a kinda challenge for myself, and i enjoyed alot doing that, but maybe quality is not really here… well my thought… I think modeling is a thing, but giving a soul to a model, and try to make the other people think about an image is something else… I don’t think i found the good forum to talk about what represent the real way to create.

So… Bye all, and please : don’t vote for me coz that’s not my goal :wink:

I still have a wip deep in the wip area, for those who are interested in :slight_smile:

Open your mind. Don’t wait the others to feed yours… :wink:
