Pirate Squale 3D

_DeadPixel_

Hey Guys,

I want you all to meet Pirate Squale!
I planned to make him in 3D last year but didn't get around to it....I was lazy.

I've never attempted stylised art before but a friend used to nag me to try it, soooo I'm gonna see what all her fuss was about. So far I find it really fun and quite a nice change from the more realistic stuff. If I enjoy the texturing stage I'll probably make a few more stylised characters this year.

Right now I think his head in the concept looks wider than in the sculpt.
There are also a few other things like the Mast or his Cane not being in the right place, but I think it's because the artist focused more a pleasing aesthetic than perfect 3D spacing. If I move them to match the concept they end up poking through the boat or just hanging out in empty space.
Anyway, a fresh pair of eyes to provide feedback would be appreciated.

Hope everyone's having a good week!

Cheers,

wow this is awesome! i think the sail on the right would look cooler if it was cut up and damaged like it is in the concept and maybe add straps to the eye patch.
other then that this really cool!

Indeed this is really cool!
Just a few things that are off, shoulder and proportions of the boat are the most irritating for the eye right now. But, it still is an interesting piece!!

I would have to disagree, I think that it creates a great whimsical feel to the piece. I would like to see it from a few different angles to get a better idea of the space though.

@joshmtyler: I'm not judging the concept, just that the sculpts lost some of the proportions of the concept. I would like to see the cannons a bit bigger, just like in the concept (because they are really cool in the concept). Also some of the dynamic silhouette got lost in the sculpt imho.
Sorry if you misunderstood it. If not, no problem Just a personal taste then

Still, it's an awesome sculpt so far. Just some things I've noticed.

@Iangoold3d - The right sail? Do you mean his tail fin? I'll be sure to add the tears and damage to him. Ah yeh, I missed the straps on the eyepatch, will add those now.

@Goozah - I agree, his shoulder looks uncomfortable and I think I could also straighten his right fin that's holding the cane to match the concept more.
I see what you mean about the boat, I'll have a play with it and see what I come up with.

@Josh - Thanks mate. I've posted some shots from other angles you can check out, I also tried adding a gif turntable but the quality is shocking. haha Sorry.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Edit: Better quality turntable.

This is really cool! I would like to see more sharp/hard edges and angles to keep with the style of the illustration. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, Fomori! I see what you mean, they're my favourite things about the concept too. I'll be sure to add more of that stuff for my next update.

Thinner tail + damage and you're pretty much gold there.

Nice work though the video is really bothering my eyes those lines you see are interlaced lines you probably want to make it progressive or deselect anything that says interlaced in your video rendering/exporting encoding/converting/options.

sick!

Archanex

Awesome model! If you texture this and fix the video you'll be my hero!

@Dr.Grim - Cheers, will add that stuff for next update.

@Amile - Thank you! Yeh, he's a total heart throb. He must drive the Sharkettes crazy.

@D4V1DC - I've updated the turntable with the recommendations you suggested and it looks much better. Thanks a lot man, appreciate it!

@Phoenix - Thanks!

@Archanex - Haha Do I get to wear spandex and a cape? Cos if so, I'm on it.

Thanks for the feelback guys!
