Work in progress

ha ha nice, gotta have those watery eyes

Thats a really good piece, the only thing that sticks out to me immediately is the lack of any wetness to his eyeballs.

Maybe thats what he's angry about, he's got awfuly dry eye's.

Thanks for the tip. In the photo his eye's are a little more closed and the detail in the pic didn't realy show the wetness that should be there. I just didn't think about it.

That's the kind of stuff I need to be learnin, so hopefuly after I have done more of these practise paintings I'll get the hang of it.

One of the most impressive portraits on Sumea.

You could be more careful about the saturation of your shadows next time. They look a bit too grey and some parts of the image looks like you desaturated it completely.

Also it looks like you like to get right into the details really quickly. Maybe next time you should also try and plan out where the features are really suppose to be before you go nuts over the details....because some of the features look a bit symbolic.... maybe mirror your image and have a look at it.
The hair looks quite symbolic and flat because you did them strand by strand, try not to do that. Hair is made up of highlights, midtones and shadows.... painting it by the strand means that person has string as hair which is too thick to pass off as hair....also it looks like fur because it's too dense in some places.

I think the best thing to do is to actually study how things work....do a few self portraits because you will learn a lot more than copying a ref photo. It's good because then you'll realise eyeballs don't have a matte texture and so on.

cool .

I agree with aloriael especially with the hair.

an amazing pic, reminds me of was it dr breen from HL2

heh, very nice Falco :)
Texture could use some sharpenin up though.

looks good, one of the finest game res moustaches I've seen to date [:)]
I've got a few tips and suggestions:
-his beard could do with a little more alpha stripping on it's 3/4 silhouette, and a little more shaping to the ear
-He's suffering from butterfly patterns across the mirrored seams in the texture - detail tonal change horizontally on seams, and try and give yourself an extra poly margin on the dominant side of the seam uv's so you can eliminate noticable mirroring with minimal extra uv space.
-saturate the dark areas in the skin tones a bit more to give the skin a bit more of a translucent fleshy feel. This should eliminate the "powdered cheeks" look you get from dark lighting shadowing light textured areas. (eg, tip of the nose, cheek puffs, etc)

anyways, there's a few things to think about -- he's looking good, I'd like to see him pushed that little bit further [:)]

thats really cool, the face has a lot of character to it. The point where the beard meets on the seam in the center is a bit off atm though, as Joel said the texture but also it sorta becomes a blocky shape very sharply where it juts out. keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback guys much appreciated :)

Ill touch his head up soon n post the changes, thanks.

Nice! I like the little pores and wrinkles on him.
Add a touch of red to the nose to top it off.....or not!

Either way I like it :)

very cool. nice skin tones. :)

kewl - they look great, good life and movement to them.

your fast leaving any work that could be called "programmer art" :D good stuff

good work.. you seem to have the principles down...
remember that skin has a lot of different colors in it..
not just pink.. play around with blues and greens for cool areas and reds and purples in warm areas
seems to have unwrapped nicely for a first go ..:)

I would agree with tojo, the face needs more skintone colour in there.
Try to also get some more smoothness in there as well. At the moment its very muddy. Pick about 4 or 5 colours and lay them down somewhere on the texture sheet, and have a go with just using those colours. Remeber to stay away from black for shadows, a nice shade of brown can often work, experiement and find out!!
Also, study other peoples textures! This is something that I think can be quite helpful, especially when your new. Look at the different factors in there, try to figure what it is that makes the texture look good and why things like the colours the use, where they paint in shadows and highlights, just stuff like that. Then try applying those methods to your work.
If your still not sure of how something go out and get yourself some reference. This is good for (among other things) getting the shapes of individual parts just right, things like eyes, mouth, ears, etc
Finally as was mentioned it looks like you've done a good job of the unwrapping. Well done.

Keep at it! :)

Thankaz heaps for the crits Tojo and Makk, really helping me out. I am working on it, bit by bit, as I am in the model challenge, so most of the time is working on that. Just wondering, do you guys and gals work from a grey scale first, then apply a coloured layer and work from that, or just go into the colour straight away? Also, done some more work to it.

gooed progress, its getting better, i'm definately no pro on texturing (i've hardly ever gotten to that stage with a model). so i won't struggle trying to explain what i thnk needs correcting.

Benoit Regimbal painted one of the best head textures i've ever seen so ive added a link to his wip for the head, its preety big for a jpg (1mb) but its very detailed and helpful. definately worth a look.

Thankaz for that Conundrum, helping me out heaps. Done some more work to the texture aswell. Comments and crits appreciated.

really coming along now, looks a bit more male though. was it supposed to be? its the thick eyebrows that do it

Yeah, it is supposed to be male, and with the eyebrows I wasn't sure how to texture them good, still working on it though. This is the model I am texturing.

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/simages2/429_CCL.jpg[/img]

You have a fantastic loose style, I love it. cheers.

looks a bit like a starwars rolling driod thing

does a tad but its still a cool design, itd be cool to see more detail on that thing

just a mock up- testing out some ideas

[img]http://members.optusnet.com.au/drummonds/lohp.jpg[/img]

That?s pretty good, especially for ?programmer art? I?d say the most immediate issues with it are her eyes, they are so huge and have a bit if zombie death stare about them, due to the iris being half under the top lid but so far away from the bottom.
All that aside, good stuff.

Oh and go artrage.

Pantmonger

I like it Kezza.
Good linework

Very good work there, keep it up.

cool. I actually like the expression in her eyes.

As if the alien is no shock to her.

...here I was expecting ASCII art in the form of obfuscated C...

Very nice work though!

watch your poly distribution. you have a lot in the arms and fingers, but very little in other much larger areas.

hey, nice.

I think you could work on the pose a bit more. Right now you could pretty much run a straight line down the entire front of the body, so theres no real feeling of weight/balance to him.

Keep it up.

Model Done spot on 3500 polys now for the unwrap.[:)]

dont know what it's from but i like it a lot.

Yeah that looks awesome! [:D]

LiveWire: Thanks for the comment, Domino is a character that used to be in X-Force one of the X-men spin offs back when I used to read them a lot of comics (about 10 years ago).

Anuxinamoon: Thanks also, I?m glad people like it.

Pantmonger

cool work, i really like the first and second, i'll be looking forward to seeing what else you can come up with. good luck

neat, second goes down as my fave

thanks moonunit, it was the most fun too.
anyone know people who need illustration work done ?
i have free time this month.

looks like you're into characters, but The Sumea Mod would love some level, and architecture concepts!

http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=33

I love the second one. The face on it reminds me of that face on the front of the DOOM 3 manual. Looks cool and spooky at the same time! Awesome!

always like seeing your stuff alti.

I really dig the second one to.

The third one I think his arms look awkward.

my stuff from a session with MIKECORRIERO and davi

ah there we go its working now.

sketches from today
critic welcome

[img]http://members.optusnet.com.au/drummonds/loskjetchin2.jpg[/img]

the last thing youve posted and the "preistministri.jpg" one are brill, id love to see that kinda thing combined with something like say some 3d abstract background work or something. If you can found a good colaboration partner you could really take this to the next level

really nice mate. the only thing that bothers me is his right foot, doesn't look up to scratch with the rest of the image.

looks great and i think denz meant the left foot, the thing to the foots left is a hand if im not mistaken...

nice work, its got a good composition adn the pose/action is great. my only crit is the use of black in the shadow areas, this is personal preference but from what ive seen i think most of the top painters dont use it too much. in my opinion you are better of using darker shades of colours or colours from the background. hopefully that made sense, keep up the good work, it would be nice to see some more recent stuff too

Thanks for the tips, I actually didn't use any black, I ramped up the contrast later on and that created the darker shadows. I do understand what you mean though. It does look a bit too dark. cheers.

i dont mind the think black too much. gives it a bit of a comic book look, though i dont know if it's meant to or not. like like it though, very nice. and i agree with denz on the foot - one of the first things i noticed.

the creatures pose and action reminds me of the splash image from Heroes of Might and Magic 4's menu, also reminds me of Final fantasy 7 with all those summons of dragony things with blast breaths. RAHHHH! :)

that looks amazing.

dude you've just got to do some concepts for levels for the sumea mod!!!!

thats brilliant, so atmospheric!

nice work[:)] did you do the clould too* if so good job.

Nice colour pallete.
Top work as usual :)

Excellent, it looks very eerie, like a ghost town. The sky is cool also.

another fantastic piece - thankyou for posting it.

World Class stuff here Gerhard [:)]

Great stuff :)

Thanks for the comments people.
This one image took about 70 hrs and was for a video film clip, that has yet to be released( probably not meant to talk about it!).
It had to be created in such a way as to allow the "Flame" people to put a move on the image. I have not seen the final comp, but I am sure they have done a great job.
It was a real blast working with a whole group of people with skills in different mediums. ie. 3D, Flame and Design.
I reckon working in a group environment tends to bring out better results, than simply working by yourself, plus it more fun.
Anyway, thats my 2 cents.

PS I am pretty busy with work to help out with the sumea mod. Though, its a flickle business so you never know.....

Cheers
Gerhard Mozsi

Hi All
I here are some pieces I did a while ago that I do not think i have put on these boards yet. They were studies skin tone and all done in photoshop.

Gah! that highlight on the girls nose is perfect! So well defined.
I hope the studies were beneficial for you :)

great work, the textured style and harsh lighting really suit the subject matter. one stylistic detail that i think would fit in well is blending in parts of the character into the backround, just a little bit of smoke or glow to mix the two. right now it looks slightly cutout. of course that being really picky, its a brilliant drawing and ill be look forward to more.

Frickken awesome! [:O]

Lightings great! love the helmet design too. The only glitch that sticks out to me is that his empty arms shoulder looks lifted to high - when I strike a similar pose, it feels quite uncomfortable, non-natural. Then again im not made of steel pipes and hydraulics so i doubt he cares much about that kind of thing [;)]

Overall I'ts a nice piece dude.

Lechy, I've activated your Sumea profile account a while ago and emailed you the notification, but your email bounced. If you remember your login and password, you can login straight away and change your email address to one that works while you're there.

nice piece Leachy, the Ink & wash are working really well and creating some great subtle effects. I look forward to seeing more of you work posted :)

Thanks for the comments.

conundrum: Yep, I think that would be a good idea now. I did this one about a year ago and making
Backgrounds was still a little perplexing for me. Nowdays I try to blend the subject
matter and background a bit more.

Hazard: I see what you mean. I think that happened because I was trying to give it a
perspective look.

yikes! i like it a lot. very cool.

Hey dude, you've done an awesome job! Texturing is awesome (especially on the armour), and the detail you've put into it all is great! However, what I think could make this model even greater is if you transfered some more elements from the concept which I think is really important to taking it to the next level.

The concept has got some great shape for the legs and that area. It would look much better for the model to follow suit and define the calf muscles, knees, ankle bones etc. Give the shoes some form too! They're kinda rounded and look like painted socks at the moment! [;)] Doing the above will make the bottom half of him look less cartoony, and give him a more dynamic looking stature.
The skin on the hand looks a bit too pinkish as well, and the thumb may be a little too long. In anycase, it's definately job well done! Fantastic work.

Looking good man,
I pretty much agree with what Souri said but also the plume of hair is alot shorter on your model and the metals, especially the mask, seems a bit dark, you lose focus on them.

Also the sleeve seems too puffy at the shoulder, on the concept it tapers in.

Givey wires. [:)]

i likes it. did you do the texture as well? the image only says model. if so then every texture i see from you is a huge leap in quality.

Yeah I agree souri your right on the ball especially about the shoes. I have to put more detail im my feet, usually that where I take detail out to add to other areas since the character will probably be moving. Im definantly going to try and reach that next level with the next character I create. Like malus said I did start to loose focus regards to keeping with the concept. You really need a nice model sheet to get exact to the concept art. All elements were done by me beside the concept. Cheers for the C & C.[:)]

Here's the wires and also the high poly source model around 1 million polys.

Hey Dean - you must be proud man, both me and pat are the fruit of your loins!!!! [:P]

Awesome model [:D] fantastic work on the high poly.....
crits about the character have already been mentioned by souri, apart from those little things everything kicks arse [8D]

Nice Work Love the look you must be happy.[:)]

that gives me a chubby

I second your chubby and raise you a stiffy. [:|]

Hazard: I'm so proud of mee boys, snif sniff lol, man you guys already knew what you were doing before I met you both, but thanks. [:)]

Thats a pretty unconventional knight, which makes it even cooler. I wonder how it would look if the fabric of his shirt was a different color, my personal opinion is that the shirt tends to blend in with the rest of the armor, making it hard to see whats going on there, perhaps a different color would bring out the details more clearly. cheers.

nice work, reminds me of John Wallin's painting style. one thing which looks a little off is the right hand part of the nose, which seems a bit skewed in terms of perspective (might just be me). thats all though otherwise its great, a nice sense of realism.

Great execution John. Its been enjoyable watching you improve with each new piece.
Metal work is great, especially on areas where it scratches/chips.
Rocket though doesnt look up as good as the ships rendering, which is a bit weird. It might be the black bits on it as they arent rendered as sharply as the rest. Perspective on it looks like it might be a little off aswell, like the tip of it faces inwards towards the ships body. No thing major though as the perspective as a whole is quite good.
Nice colour scheme as well.

looking good john, for curved lines try the pen tool. if you dont allready know how to use it heres a good tutorial: http://www.animangax.com/tuts_pen.php

thanks for comments guys. All the perspective is probably slightly off as I only did a quick sketch 'by eye' for the base drawing - didn't think that It was going to become such a finished piece initially!

The black sections of the rockets are quite ambigious regarding material representation aren't they :( at the end of the day it reflects my indecision with them really - a detail I struggled with.

gotta admit MoonUnit, I'm not a fan of the pen tool in photoshop and always use a dedicated vector program for vector art, even if that requires working between 2 programs. I find Freehand and Illustrator more accurate, more flexable and faster that photoshop by miles... a lot of miles!

I'm going to attempt to do another one following the same process. If it comes out as well I'll post it up too.

oh no kidding, if you set out to do vector art then photoshop is really not where you should be heading. but its a pain to involve another program when u just want a couple of curved lines.

Cool, this is my first post on sumea. The ship design is pretty cool, but the execution seems half finished. That is what bothers me the most. I look at the weathered green paint and think cool then i see the engine and I go hmmmm. But if it is just a concept then its ok to do that. Also you seem to have a strange mix of sharp lines and blurry lines which is a bit inconsistant. cheers.

some finishing up has been done to the details of my painting. Thankyou for all the crits, they helped me identify how to proceed - I think that I addressed most, if not all of the comments in my changes.

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/JohnN/2005430112_JohnNewall_airc…]

Looks more like a grasshopper or bug rather than a rabbit. [:D]

yeah, but it does look pretty cool though

yeah i could not think of a title for the thread then that song came on :(

cool, i like the design alot as with the colors.

Hehe cool stuff cookies. He looks very happy! His skin reminds me of that mushroom from Morrowind that glows like that :p

The metal looks really un-exciting though. Perhaps add some soldering lumpies where te metal joins or something? More dents and scratches and some weathering could help too :)

yeah i was looking at the metal at work when i was welding and im like nah to much effort to paint welds so ill find something else ally would be easy to paint tho its shiny :D

LOL cookie always trying to find the easy way out [:p] You shouldn't paint something cause its easy! Challange yourself man! Thats how you get better!

The design is pretty cool.

Cool. I haven't played the game myself though *hides*

Few things you might want to fix up is that her breasts are very strange looking. Try pushing them out more to the side and point the them out to the side more so they are at a 3 1/4 view. Also her shoulder joints look really large which gives the impression of them comming forward (I don't know if this is what you wanted or not)

You could also soften the picture by colouring the line art of your drawing a similar shade to the colour its outlining. It's just that the black lines look really strong against your colours as the shading lacks any strong contrast :)
Not sure how that would look, but it's just a tip. [;)]

thanks redwyre for correcting the link.

looks cool, is that supposed to be snow or ice?

I dig!
lots of nice stuff going on Rizo :)
It is a bit hard to tell if its snow or ice, but judging by the sharp edges of it, I guess its ice. if it is snow, you might want to get some smooth transitions between the edge of the snow and building.

Well actually it's ice, but since it's the first time that i deal with it.. i'm not pretty "happy" with the ice result.. when i add snow to it, it looks like icecream! [:X] Anyway, thanks for your coments! :)

Hiya Rizo - nice piece of work, I missed this thread [:(]

You beat me to it by commenting on the ice - It definately looks as though your still feeling your way with a rendering technique for it. And using nature as a base - I doubt that the ice / snow would have settled in clumps like that to form gravity defying icebergs only on certain parts of the metal.

Im a fan of your work - youve got some good things going on, so when you tackle something and you admit its the first time youve tried it, it just stands out because the rest is so well done [:)]

I noticed you posted in ConceptArt too - I thought their comments were v.good and it looks like the ice is a common feature to comment on. getting a cool look with the overall colour theme you have picked I suspect has put you behind the 8 ball a bit to start with. I think a dusting of snow on all the horizontal surfaces (as commented in the other forum) would really help to define the space esp the ship which is under-defined... Iwanna see the icecream version too :D yum

Haha that's classic! [:D]

Although hes hands seem a bit too small compared to his face and feet. Oh and his forearm seems too long and skinny also ;)

thanks
yeah, your right about the proportions being off, i dont think ill bother fixing it seeing as its a sketch though

{edit} i decided it was worth fixing so heres the better version

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/conundrum/20053253438_Jovial-Mas…]

I absolutely love this concept. Hes so cheerful, and my thoughts are that anyone who screws with his little folk will suffer some sumo style consequence.

I think this idea will do better than most might think, should you pull of some brilliant painting skills.

ooh! another CG Challange- I really gotta keep an eye on that site.

Good start...potentially great start!- I would be interested in seeing more versions with different master/slave interaction. This scenario could be pushed in so many different directions with great results. it is already more interesting than many of the posts I just browsed in the 2D section (submissive figure A chained to dominant figure B)

keep the posts comming

yeah, i think i will develop the idea but ill probably do that when im working on the modelling and leave it as it is for the concept. im probably going to go do something a bit more serious for my 2d entry, but i'll still try and stay away from the stereotypical interpretations

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/conundrum/200532704140_Jovial-Ma…]

cute :P

heh, nice man! good to see something different and not so serious.
Sounds like a fun topic, whens the deadline?

thanks, 18 May is the deadline,
this is the link
[url]http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/masterandservant/[/url]

this is where im at after a few hours of modelling, the back and top of the torso are very rough and should improve a lot as i add to the character.
the bottom sillouhette is the quick character sheet i drew up, going for realistic looking but with accentuated features. any c&c is welcome

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/conundrum/200533194038_Mesh_Comp…]

Looking pretty good so far, I really like the idea. Although animating all those little fellas seems like it would be a pain in the ass (excuse the pun).

thanks for the reply,
the critters shouldnt be too difficult, ill just make a base mesh, rig it then duplicate it and pose them in various positions. a smallish update, still got work to do on the toes (a bit flat) but so far im pretty plaesed with it.

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/conundrum/20054295329_Mesh_Comp_…]

EDIT: sorry about the quality of the wireframe, my attempt to use an ovarlay failed, so there are quite a few missing polys in the mesh

hey. ive been quietly following this over at cgtalk. i think its awsome
keep it up

argh!! i just let this page load as i was looking at something else, and the first thing i was confronted with when i tabed back was a fat arse!

thanks ninothe and livewire(i think),
just a bit more work on the feet and ive filled up the back.

[IMG]http://img86.exs.cx/img86/1982/meshcomp37sq.jpg[/IMG]

hehehe, sorry. i like it (not just the arse, the whole artwork). i'm waiting to see the little guys. they're my favorites!

model the wang!!

sorcerer bob: i think ill keep him a eunuch

a bit more progress, just the hands, im pretty happy with them as they are a lot better in terms of construction than i have completed before.

[img]http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/attached/conundrum/20054671855_Mesh_Comp_…]

I think his crack needs some work. He doesn't look like he has a big ass crack as it's too far apart at the top.

I'm just curious about why 3d guys make everything have erect nipples.

a bit of a gap between updates, i modelled the face reasonably quickly but had a lot of issues getting it to fit in with the body, it still has issues now but its nowhere near as bad as before.

[IMG]http://img112.echo.cx/img112/9734/masterfront3426ko.jpg[/IMG]

Great work conundrum. I think your fat guy has a lot of characteristics of chubby buddha and I think you'd do well in using him as reference. Don't sweat the little stuff like the butt crack... he has pants on! Also get some reference on how fat guys chins roll, how their breasts sag, and what their feet look like.
A little bit of research goes a long way [B)]

Overall, it's a great concept and is looking good. It's refreshing seeing something out of the cliches. I wish you lots of luck!

sinister: thanks, i havn't checked out any refs from fat people but i do need to.

i forgot to post the progress on the clothes so here it is

and more reently (tonight) this is some testing while trying to develop a skin shader. i'm using lightwave so i don't have sss but there are some handy plugins aroud. this is my first attempt at a shader so its not great but hopefully with a bit of practice it will develop.

heh, nice expression.

wow, its been ages since anyone replied to this thread so i havn't posted any progress. its nearing the end (three or four days left) and i'm way behind schedule but i'm still going to try and finish. this is most of the shading work on the characters completed and i'm about to begin background work. all the rendering and texturing has been done in xsi

Very cool, keep it up. Good luck with the competion as well.

the comps finished so i may as well post my final, i'm not that pleased with the background but i didn't really leave myself with enough time.

looks great. let us know how you go.

is there a link to a thread with all the entries?

These little guys are deviously planning to carry their master to the tip of the volcano and cast him into the bubbling lava arent they ? I can already see the intent of that little pygmy leading the way - hes evil, pink and waving a stick. [:O]

Their master will arise with a black helmet, digitized voice and a reduced lung capacity forcing him to breath deeply.

Good luck with the entry Conundrum, I like the idea alot. But like you say I think should you given yourself a bit more time on the background, it could have come up alot better.

Higher res textures, higher res textures < begins chant > [:P]

Love that stomach/ass dude [:O]
