Xenomorph Armour
polycounter lvl 6
Not sure if anyone had this idea before, it's probably been done already but I wanted to make a xenomorph suit for a character, just for fun, here's the finished model.

And also, this is in my opinion the best render of a xenomorph, and it is not black on black, you clearly can see the silhouette. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/aliens/images/f/ff/XenomorphXX121.png/revision/latest?cb=20141005001209
But this is just my opinion, so take it or leave it.
The black on black might work if you work on the overall roughness, but I am not sure. Also, if you do, dont use pure black, because it doesnt really exist and should be avoided during texturing.
The only situation i could see this being even mildly useful is if you plan to go into a xeno hive and get covered in their blood.
and that's before i even get started on the issues of the character herself and how "perfect" she's supposed to look... anyone who is both capable of, and has had to hunt enough xeno's to make a suit of armour like this is likely to be rugged as fuck.
I checked out your portfolio on arstation.... pretty fucking crap, it's funny how its always the people who are shit at art that slag off other people...
and those images don't even match up, you must be fucking blind, no wonder your so shit at art...
i would argue with you that while people make stuff just to make cool stuff all the time, the coolest stuff out there is in some way functional, or at least falls into "suspension of disbelief".
Take my feedback any way you like, i don't really care. but you've got 5 other people telling you one very specific thing to fix. so i'd probably listen to that.
dude fuck off!
suck on this!
FIVE PEOPLE ALL GAVE YOU THE SAME CRITIQUE. That means it's probably a good thing to correct. And then you started attacking people... It started with me, you disliked the fact that i criticized the design instead of the render, and so you attacked me. And then you went on to everyone else. And now you're bitching that people didn't give you valid feedback?
I love that you're so butthurt.
The default here at polycount is to give critique. If you didn't want any, you could state that.
The issue is, I think you are viewing these critiques as insults. Insults are unproductive. Critiques are meant to help you get better, and are a kind thing to do. Sometimes people word their critiques well, sometimes they don't. No matter how they're worded, they can be disappointing, and can hurt.
We all know how it feels to get a critique, and it's not a great feeling at first. But you have to realize, it's a road we all travel. All of us make pieces that don't look as good as they could, or that have issues. We all started somewhere. We've all been critiques. And we're the better for it. Sometimes we need people to point out the flaws we don't see.
You have to realize, everyone here wants you to look back in two years and think "What a distance I've come!".
So, go and cool down, if you must; think about the constructive feedback offered at the top of this thread. See if you can understand where they were coming from. If 5 people give the same critique, you should typically believe them. See that the feedback came from a good place. And then come back with your next piece, and try to be open to feedback.
The problem is, if no one expresses discontent or longing for more, nothing will ever change. This is why we need productive downvotes, and critiques. Without them, people would just think "Hey, everyone likes everything, and everything is fine!", and that's not true, if we want to improve.
Wow this thread has blown up! Ok where to start..
First, the images you posted are hard to decipher. There’s a lot of small details that are hard to see with the pure black values. As others have stated, pure black doesn’t exist in nature and it should be avoided when working in 3d. Instead, you can use varying shades of dark blue, purple and grey to give the armor a more organic look. You can also add some variation to the roughness/specular map. Right now everything looks too uniform.
Second, I know that it’s easy to get emotionally attached to a piece that you’ve spent a lot of time working on and it can be a little disheartening to be told there’s something wrong with it. You’ve got to understand that nothing that anyone creates is perfect. There is always room for improvement. When you post on an art forum, it should be expected that people with a better trained eye and/or more experience will notice some errors with your work. Often, they will point these errors out and offer suggestions on how to fix them. You shouldn’t take offense to it. They’re trying to help you improve. Being able to both give and receive a critique is vital to being successful in this industry.
Third, this is a very small industry. If you want to work in it, it’s in your best interest to be mature and civil. No one wants to work with someone who mouths off to another person just because they can’t take a critique. Remember, what goes on the internet stays on the internet. Employers can easily look up your social media and forum posts, so think carefully about what you’re going to post.
Cheers
Either the OP has had a terrible week and has just had enough, and decided to use the internet as his outlet. OR some kinda troll activity is going on here, it spiraled too fast and almost violently for it be any kind of sensible adult who has been posting these disgusting replies.
How is thread still open?
This kind of attitude is not tolerated here. The OP has earned a two week cooling off period. If they cannot show restraint, they will be banned permanently.
As for the rest of you, don't take the bait. The Gib thread doesn't mean it's open season here for people to respond with negativity; that thread was just a bit of fun.
Actual art critique on Polycount is held to a higher standard. Learn from the Obamas, never let someone's negative behavior drag you into the mud with them. Always take the high road.
