Spawn pimpology!
polycounter lvl 18
Been spamming this one across the "what are you working on!" thread for a long time already, so thought i'd create his own thread. It would be a lot more usefull when i was starting i as i could receive some more focoused critics, but i'm still not that comfortable creating my own threads among the great ones that are already here ![:\](https://polycount.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/confused.png ":\")
anyways got great help on the other topic so here is it almost calling it finished:
Problems that i need help:
- how to add a opacity map to a normal map material? i'm using Ben Cloward three light normal map shader for the spawn it self, and J.I. Styles skin shader for the cape. I heard somewhere that a alpha channel could be added to a *.tga file and use that as a opacity map but have no idea how it work really; second, i heard that i could use the normal map on the bump map channel of a standard map and the opacity on it's channel and then check the it to show as directx shader - but that is not working with me... The lack of opacity map is the reason for the bugged edges of the cape
Any help on this is greatly apreciated

His fingers seem a bit fat, from what I remember spawn had some long finger nail pointy things that come off his fingers. His thumb seems to be a bit far back on his hand?
Also cut down the horizontal size of your image down so it doesn't scroll the thread horizontally. try to keep it under 1024px if you can, something like, this.
And here is a paint over of the changes to the anatomy I would make. Mind you I'm more of an early spawn fan where he
is closer to porportion of spiderman than a hulking mass.
- Moved the crotch down, and made it bigger to fill the space between the legs.
- Extended the fingers and thined them out.
- Added the finger nails.
- Thinned out the arm around the elbow to give the musles a powerful silloette.
- Extended the thighs and abdomen, moved his hip bone lower.
- Moved the chest up and reshaped the back muslces.

I like creature's proportions.
I now reckon that i made quite a few wrong design choises, but now, i can't do much without redo most of it
I'd call it now: rushing it to the end so i can start something fresh
... a sad end for a fun project.
Its a good end to a great project. Its a really good piece of art, and any piece of art you make that teaches you something new is a great piece!
