nice lips!

#17

hey !!
really like this head modeling :slight_smile:
it is a child ?

#18

Aye… going slow here.

Now I have to choose between the “rich royal” or the “classy noble” palettes :slight_smile:

The costume has little to do with the north-african so far. And probably will stay this way.

Only have to fix some obvious problems.

I think I should start doing the furniture/set.

#19

Nice work on the clothing so far! At first, I didn’t even realize that the right one was textured! Maybe a touch of color as an accent could help - some gold, or a colored ascot instead of white, something like that. But don’t think that that means I must like the left one better: Either one could work, depending on what the whole environment is. Are you just texturing as you go or do you have some rough layout/composition/palette sketches to figure out those things for your entire piece? (And if not, you might want to consider doing that, as it would give you a roadmap and save you from the trouble of texturing things twice! :slight_smile: )
Good luck!

#20

Really nice modeling and texturing for the clothes! Both colorings works well so far, the red one being the most traditional I think. As Walrus I think that the bright one could be beautiful with just some details in color, blue?
Also I suppose once you texture him he will probably look older so no comments on that. Great work so far!

#21

First of all, thanks for the comments. They are being quite helpful.

I am considering on adding some more artifacts on the scene, but I think I will keep the bird on his hand.

Not really a child. He died when he was 24 years old, so he looked quite young :slight_smile:

It’s hard to get “whitish” materials without looking incomplete (although yes, this is incomplete :wink: ) From the references I find, usually royal male moroccan costumes are quite frugal, not much embroidery or such. And the materials look quite rough, natural. But I intent on putting that kind of details.

I found one nice white costume (I don’t think it is moroccan) which I like in terms of tones. Let’s see if I can get the link.

Hopefuly the image will get more consistency as the details start to sit together in the objects of the decor. And for that I have some references too, but need to understand how they will work as a group. Even if it will part too far from the theme, it’s allright. I need to practise anyway :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot again for the feedback guys!

Hi Joana

It looks great. Nice progress.:thumbsup:
keep it up and good luck.

Iban

#23

Nice cloth:buttrock:
Nice work:thumbsup:

#24

What’s new:

  1. Changed the camera
  2. A different lighting approach
  3. New modeling: chair, table and some artifacts

I know it is going apart from the theme (has it ever been near?), but I intent at least to have it almost finished.

Let’s see about that :stuck_out_tongue:

The clothes will be different as well.

#25

From your website I can tell this is going to be really cool,
your art is so eerie! :smiley:
Good luck!

#26

This looks indeed very promising :thumbsup:

#27

Very nice progress, Joana! I am loving the costume. I think it will be cooler if the figure has some mechanical hand to add to his mystery. Or a mechanical bird perching on his arm. Or even both.

Nice progress! Are you having fun with this challenge? :smiley:

#28

Dear Jerome: I was indeed thinking of a mechanical bird. But maybe that is too obvious? I will be happy just to finish this, I am not worried anymore to being faithful to the Steampunk subject.

I am having fun, and I would like to have some time to the “other” challenge as well :stuck_out_tongue:

How about you?

#29

I am trying to find the time to continue with it. Sigh. I have been feeling very exhausted lately. Wondering where all my energy has gone to.

I also love to join the other contest. It sounds more fun to work on!

Maybe the guy can have a mechanical body? Maybe that’s why he was missing during all those years. Mechanical body stuck to a mechanical chair keeping him alive as he issues commands from his ‘throne’.

#30

A small update: a kettle - it will be on the table.

#31

Pretty nice work on the kettle, the texture is terrific! looks like a real old object…

#32

Great stuff. I’m liking the classical portrait composition and lighting a lot.

#33

Thank you! A classical portrait is indeed my intention :slight_smile:

Ahh thanks… I just think the lower end of the feet looks too clean. I’ll try and change that.

Yesterday I did a quick test of the props on the scene and oh my… you cannot see all those details. Well…

#34

looking great so far - keep it up! :thumbsup:

#35

Very nice work so far Joana, the kettle is very convincing ! keep us updated with such great work :bounce:
