Hell yeah Wicked concepts man
Looking forward to this

Daniel Duy

Finally, i decided redo Kratos. I gave him one more 128 for his head, Golden fleece and Blade of Exile . So we can compare between 2. Also include texture map too. Hope it's helpful :poly122:

Thank you for critics :poly142:

Thank Alismuffin. Are you going to submit something? it's pretty fun to try old school modeling and texturing.

Alismuffin

Dayyuuum that's awesome man

The proportions are sick

Yup this is my thread: link

JurassicPerk

Amazing work!

deadpixl

That kratos turned out amazing!

LuCh!

awesome!
great concepts and kratos is looking good,
one comment though, always have to have one xP
his face needs to be more pointier to the chin, he also needs to look more angry,
you know, like this

Daniel Duy

Thank guys. Yes, I have problem with the detail. the map is too small. Though our fellows handle the detail very well. I wonder about the technique,. Should I start from 256 or higher map? then re-size? I painted the map directly from 128.:poly122:

Daniel Duy

One more character. Hope he could be recognized . Let's wish I could finish all on time.

JurassicPerk

Don't know why it's so quiet in here, also these new characters are very cool! Have you already planned how to assemble the final scene?

Spacey

This last character in particular is looking great. Nice job.

Daniel Duy

Thank you. Yeah, people kinda quiet here. I guess because not so many folks like God of War . One more character. I should redo Kratos. Later characters look better .

So awesome! Teach me.

Looking forward to more.

Cheers~

Daniel Duy

Thank you. Fist time trying something really small like this. Eventually I feel 128px is still big :poly124:. This is Aphrodite, I'm very happy with het :poly136:

jeebs

looks awesome I like the Aphrodite model, but how come her underwear is vissible only on front side, and no underwear from back? or should it be this way?

Daniel Duy

:poly121: actually, she does not wear any thing, but I feel bad when show her naked then at least I have her a front_under_wear. :poly136:

Daniel Duy

II'm going to redo Kratos, feel bad looking at him ... poor Kratos

JurassicPerk

The new Kratos is definitely more polished and better looking. But for some reason, I liked the previous face better: it was more badass

Daniel Duy

Thank Jurassic . I tried to made him angry but he look cute instead :poly122:. Some how I like the old Kratos at some points, but he look so low res compare to the rest. Also, I learned something during making low poly characters and it help them look better. Do you feel the same?

JurassicPerk

Yeah, after seeing your progression, I think the first version of Kratos was a little subpar in comparison to the other characters.

Anyway, I think that, if you don't like the cute look it has, you just have to tweak the dreamworks face you gave him :P

Daniel Duy

Thank for the critic, we will see what can I do in a week left. And here, "behold Zeus with the Blade of Olympus". everything in one 128px

jeebs

looks awesome zeus is my favorite so far

JurassicPerk

Zeus is really intimidating. I particularly love his face and the sword. Nice!

mikezoo

wow!

I m loving these characters. With such a small poly/texture budget your packing alot of attitude with these guys! :thumbup:]

My favorite is the chick.


What sorta scene do you have planed out for these?

metric meditation

Teessider

Daniel Duy

This is awesome!! can't wait to see more.

I like the style you have going on, although you're clearly aiming for smooth and round it wouldn't hurt if you put in some extra definition in the texture shapes you already have, the musculature in particular. Make it read from a distance. Turn up the contrast a notch. Think it might add a bit of a humor element having such muscular creatures in so cute proportions.

Thank you AimBiz. I'm really admire your work. It's true, some textures and musculature will improve my character. I wish I could have more time to polish them. Only less than a week left and my knowledge about anatomy is very poor. It takes me a day to finish 1 character. I will take you advice for next project. Hopefully I could finish dis challenge on time :poly142: Thank for the critic.

Daniel Duy

Wow, I'm intimidated by other people's works around. They got every done already. Here is a piece of my environment I'm working on...Hopefully I can finish on time :poly122:

I gave him 1 x 512 x 256 = 8 x 128. Think it's fair because he freaking big :poly118:

deadpixl

Awesome work on that Cronos!!

TheQiwiMan

SOOOO good! LOVE IT! Keep up the great work!

evilblah

Awesome! Dig the style and character proportions. Can't wait to see it come together!

Daniel Duy

I came to a point that I feel like don't want to work any more. I made my sculpt too big, which is a really bad idea. Anyway here is the WIP of the environment. Hope I have everything done tomorrow. Oh, and thank you for your support. Fist time join a challenge here

LuCh!

damn you're going fast!
the little buildings look great, they look good close up and from far away!
I'm strugling a bit with that,
can't wait to see the characters in there!

mospheric

Just saw the final submission. Excellent work! Probably one of the more ambitious pieces I've seen yet!

Daniel Duy

Hi Luch. My opinion is we should have Ao for every prop in the scene. Even very slight they will help the scene look more realistic. It's took me some time to UV the whole city but luckily, I got everything done. Not perfect but I happy with it. Hayyyyyy. I'm done . Thank you guys, I was inspired a lot by your work.
