I love the cel shader! Do you mind showing a bit of it? Good color palette as well.
The two previous creatures are sweet as well. Do you use the “studio” render setup that you can buy somewhere (forgot where)? I like the little glowing tube on the character’s side, nice little touch. How heavy is the dyna mesh of that guy?
Shoot me an email at andre@cantarel.de when you have time for the coffee!

xtrm3d I congratulate you for your work, I really like it.
Recently that posting in the forum, since now you have a follower of your post 
Great stuff as usual
Really like the look of that toon style render, could you share some insights on how you achieved it? Thanks

nothing crazy going on right there … standard zbrush shader ( sketch 3 and sketch 4 i think ) plus some compositing in PS …
for more advance stuff like the car i either render my outline in vray or mental ray … + maya toon shader … and then do my compo in PS
check those video i did some time ago for cg channel

no sir , it’s all my own setup in octane for maya …as far as i know , the render setting you are refering are only existing for 3dsmax mental ray/vray …

thx , the dynamesh might be around 2 mill … but at teh end of the day , since i am rendering on gpu … i have to make sure that i stay low anyway … decimation master and zremesh are my best friends 
email is on teh way
That firebird is awesome, great stylization. You need to put that thug character inside, driving with the elbow out of the window 
thank you …
yes that would be done … after the uv, riging and shading ,
speaking of shading ,
developing a stylized skin shader with exagerated SSS
seem to be on the right track :arteest:
xtrm3d firebird is great , the character model seems Vin Diesel in fast and furious…
thank you very much … yup … that’s the idea
seem that the stylized skin is working quiet well in different environment
Looks great as usual!
When I see this guy and his car I picture an afro american with a 70s afro hair cut wearing Elvis Presley sunglasses next to him. Kind of Pulp Fiction-ish with some Miami palm trees in the background.
From the complain department:
The shadow underneath the car looks off in the second render and the meshsmooth is missing on the front tire
I think I’m gonna buy an Octan license today, really a time safer!

good move !!..
curently trying to see if i could get access to arnold in maya … keeping finger crossed :arteest:
The arms of those guys have some rather odd proportions; slightly tentacle-like - very curved where one wouldn’t expect them to be, especially around the forearms…
good catch,
thank you …
would have to redo teh rig around teh wrist … i think i did place it way too high 
back to vray with this one …
still have to redo the rig … then starting on the painting of the masks for the material
another side project …
model by the amazing samuel compain …
first pass to see how my gpus are handling it
might take into vray later
