The Beast - Impresario Thomas Richmond

seriouscat

Hello guys. I've been following the contest from the beginning but I didn't dare to post my work. Now it's time. 

The short story (that still needs to be cut to 100 words):

"Parts of the lost diary of impresario Thomas Richmond (missing person).

05.05.1920 «Only tonight! Unbelievable spouses: strongman John and gymnast Josephine». This two will make us rich! Classic, but what a performance! They are really something.

06.16.1920 What an old fool am I to fell in love so hard! Narcissistic goof John doesn't deserve her. If only I was younger and slimmer, Josephine would be mine! It’s time to visit Al-Farabi, dear friend, who turns chickens into chicks at the circus.

10.10.1920 The magician promises that the arcanum with the source of vital energy will make me young again. And I am sure I found one already. Your mourning will not last long, my Josephine.

05.05.1921 I deserve everything that happened. John dried up in front of me and I was getting stronger, but this was not enough. Atrocity always has a price. Potion that absorbed human life knew better what to do with my body. I resisted as hard as i was able to. Now I can't even show up in front of Josephine. I have lost her. Only the magician Al-Farabi knows what happened but he will take this secret to the grave. My place is now among the same derelicts and sufferers, but i can bet that outside human world they still need a good circus."




Feedback is welcome.

10.10.1920 Magician's arcanum need a source of vital energy, I know a perfect one. Your mourning will not last long, my Josephine.
05.05.1921 Atrocity of draining vitality from human being have an appropriate price: I've lost everything and my place now is among others martyrs and reneges. But I bet, even under human world there is a demand for good circus.

This is amazing work, I really like your style. My only comment would be to have his hand gripping the top of the cane and have the press line on the pants go through the knee a bit more. Top notch!

Very very nice!

I like your idea. What do you think about adding more details to the suit, and may be monocle?

I like how it looks. He's a very nice character at the moment already. Reading the diary, I thought you could push the pain of losing his mistress to his face a bit more. He doesn't feel as sad as he is angry at the moment.

Thanks for comments, guys. It was helpful for me/

Really cool design, got to agree a bit with at least a monocle.

It's time to post something. This is almost finished high-poly model.
Also in plan:

- ornaments

- better folds on clothes

- small details like pockets etc.

All this are quite challenging for me. Turns out, I have problems with timing and accuracy. 
Jesus Christ, so much things to do and so little time.

Hello everyone again. Finally it's the end of the contest and i can say "Goodbye!" to my monster and take a good sleep. Yeah, seriously because of this contest i started to appreciate simple things like sleep for example. Of course i learned many new things. I took a look at the Painter, Unreal. For the first time i worked on the character and for such a long time.
