HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon: Diorama Dungeons & Dragons


#21

Hello Guys

mnartgirl: thanks for your critic, the legs of the horse was really short…

Up’s:
*Fixed the arms and the hands:

and i was watching the cartoon this week and, i figured out that in some drawings the venger doesn’t have a Real-nose:

and added some nails to it:

and the horse (still working on it):

//cheers

I was very strongly considering doing Venger at first; mostly because there were so many Mumm-ra’s. I don’t dig the horn though, and feel like it kills the character, so I decided to do Mumm-ra anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:
It looks like you’re making a good start. There are quite a few things that I wanted to touch on, but it’s finals week homework crunch time, so… I’ll have to summarize it all by saying that you should really go over the proportions, on everything. I don’t know if you’re re-interpreting him or going for the original look, but if you’re going the original route, you’re off on a lot of spots. Sorry I can’t go in depth, but the two biggest ones that stood out to me are the scale of the faces, both on the character and the horse. Check the profile of Venger’s face versus the reference, particularly the distance from the nose to the mouth, and how that will change the overall scale of the face if you modify it. For the horse… the head is gigantic right now. I know you’re still working on the horsie, but I thought I’d point it out just in case.
Great work, though! I can’t wait to see more! :smiley:

The Hands are pretty modeled.

The horse need a little more work. it could be awesome.

I remember this serie, the vengador scaries when I was a child. :stuck_out_tongue:

Fantastic!
Huge improvement. The only thing I see that may need fixing on the horse is that row of poles along the neck, but overall… niiice! :smiley:

Oberyn: yeah i chose the venger , he is a great character and i had the ideia to model him a couple of months ago, and when i saw this challenge… i took this opportunity … :Danyway…thanks for your comments man… I fixed up the face ( proportions), and the horse… whoa man… now i see…the head was Huge…!!! the updates are below

Rofideo: thanks for your great reference…saved my day… :beer: , i still have to tweak a liitle bit … oh yeah…the venger scared me too…when i was a child…

Ha! I’m a dummy. Totally thought that was your horse.
That’s ok, because what I WAS going to say was even worse. :smiley:
But I’m not telling.

Good luck with this. If you did modeled ONE head of Tiamat, and nothing else… well that alone would be a challenge to do well.
And you’ve got all of the heads, plus Venger. :smiley:
Go go go!


#27

Hey the legs on the horse are much better I would thicken up the back end of the horse though the hind flanks seem a bit scrawny.

I really diggin the dragon head!

Hmm, I never noticed that Tiamet’s heads were that much different. My eyes were always drawn to the main head I guess. Keep at it, you are making great progress so far.


#31

Hello Guys

Wyatharris: oh yeah man......in the mythology, the tiamat ( She....is a goddess !! ) doesn't have a Real form. But in the the dungeons & dragons universe the tiamat have 5 different heads, each with a different color and personality. For instance the black head , has 2 horns in the front and spits acid, the green spits poison gas ,etc.
Every head has a unique shape as you can see in the some screenshots i took from the cartoon, below:

Wev: Thanks man…

Up's:
The green dragon head:

#36

Hello Guys

Updates:
Venger:

Tiamat:

*you can see a little imperfection around the neck, it isn’t attached yet

next step: zbrush for sculpting, pose the venger hands,and render.

hope i can finish on time…i 'll be out of town a couple of days, so i’m a little worried about finish the way i want to… :shrug:

//cheers


#37

Are the heads oversized like that on purpose? I was wondering until I saw the perspective shot which looks quite cool with the oversized heads in Venger’s face.


#38

whohoho…cant wait to see that shot textured and rendered out:applause:keep on going!:buttrock:


#39

Really good effect. It’s impresive the sensation of very big dimension. If you get to complete it it’s going to be amazing. If you can increase the sensation of enormity it will be even better.

Hope you can finish it.

Hello guys

Wyattharris: yes, i had another ideia on my mind, with the red dragon head, really close to the venger but the perspective was strange and the gap between them was too short ( i will try to do some magic from the venger hands -see pictures below)

razeverius: thanks man

asier cubero: thanks man, i will do my best to finish this…on time…

Up’s:

posed the hands , some details on the horse ( i will redo the tail, it isn’t working very well)
*Tomorrow i will work on venger and the dragons’s head.
//cheers
