GAC #11: Nikola Tesla - The Eclectic Electric Eccentric


#21

andy h - i’m a big mignola fan, but i tried not to rip off his rasputin gauntlets too bad! here are the polys as requested. this is majorly WIP, only at about 4k tris, but here goes:

With a single sub-D pass:

EDIT - big <3 goes out to the makers and maintainers of wings3d, i fall deeper and deeper in love with this app every time i use it…

Hey Adam, it looks like it is coming along…
One thing that bugs me is that the neck looks a little to thick
:shrug:


#23

hi adam,

you have great background story and the great concept and, honestly, i can’t wait to see your work finished.:thumbsup:

as dh just noted above, pay attention on the neck. head should ‘grow’ up from the neck, not from the torso. :wink: you’ve draw it well in your early concepts and now just model it that way… everything needs to be perfect :wink: and i believe you will make it so.:thumbsup:

ali narodno rvanje... koji si lik... :scream::applause:

cheers.

thx for the feedback guys, you are absolutely right about the neck. the whole head is actually a little bit bulkier than i want it to be, still trying to get that mad scientist look down. I will bust out my anatomy refs before I polish off the medium poly build here. i’m currently distracted by a couple other projects, I probably won’t update the model or pics for the next maybe 2 weeks? I want to get some stuff out of the way and then finish him up. thx again for praise and crits!


#25

everyone does…welcome to the club.

the torso is looking great so far.


#26

so i lied - one of the things that i had planned on taking up a bunch of time over the next few weeks was trying to make some levels in that new Source engine, but Hammer 4.0 floods my RAM when i run it (some weird bug) - so, while I wait for a Steam update, i post updates to Tesla!

full body (neck is better now)

next up is ears, hair and goggles…then - the gauntlets! of dooooooooooom


#27

anything of doooooom is a good thing imho.

-KDX-


#28

An update! HOLY CRAP

My goal for the comp is to finish his head (basically done now), his goggles, and his gauntlets. MAYBE his backpack. I am not planning on finishing his legs, cuz I don’t feel like it, and I won’t be texturing or rigging him.


#29

more progress! I want to finish his gloves and goggles before deadline still, and hopefully his backpack too!
