Nice text corv, dig the moles on the back, I think some stronger highlights and shadows in some places would really make it pop.
So an hour or two turned into next day, had to get some sleep before the midnight harry potter release. I decided to change the hues also added more color variation.
That's really starting to come together! I really do think this would benefit from actually modelling out those columns toward the bottom rather than painting them.
That's looking really nice, probably your best environment piece yet. I'm not a big fan of the grass overhang (the part that points upwards), maybe just reducing the size may do the trick. It just doesn't contrast well against the flat grass everywhere else.
The unavoidable "elf with string" in pure korean mmorpg style
Theres surely lots of error but it's my first attempt at "oldschool texturing" so i'll go with self indulgence for this one.
(ignore the artefact due to alpha, maya seems to have a bad time sorting them, if you know how to prevent that tell me please.)
Agreed with Mere, really liked the black portal, Slum, and the color choices overall, good stuff. Davision, that's a hot chick.
Here's another update, modeled out some of the column areas, played with the alpha'd grass bits, and also added some more cracks/grunge/wear and tear overall. I'm still cleaning up a few things here and there, but getting close to done, if not already done, thanks for the crits, keep em comin'. Full bright screen-cap::
and one with some lights::
the skulls are attractign too much attention , and they seem way crisper than the model , id sugest either desaturate them or give some color to the rocks, since they lack a bit of colour , like if they were set there overnight, it is in contact with grass and dirt, so maybe some indicators of those would be cool
seeing it with the lights, it feels like it's too bright, no dark shadows (in the cracks)
if u had more of the skulls brown in the grass -- and more of the grass green on the stones = coherency
overall its very nice, i think the designs are well done, but are relegated to a big-chunk-o-stuff due to lack of big-shapes definition. it just all blends into one, some harder dark shadows to separate the larger panels (and maybe some highlights to go with it) would help push things out
Ruz, dig the veins and muscles in the neck, really nice.
I picked up some of the greens from the grass in the the stone and the browns from the stone in the grass as suggested, also added some deeper shadows. Thanks for the crits, they're really helping me to push this one to the finish line.
Fullbright screencap::
SupRore: damn fine texture
Davision3D: omg it has thumbs
Vitor: She looks good in the front shot, but in the side she's a bit top heavy. I'd squeeze the rib cage until the butt sticks out farther than the spine.
BeatKitano: Nice stuff. I think the elf's eyes could use some shading to set them into the head.
for u - oogleanimations - to show u more what i meant to push big shapes out -
shadows between the panels, and some highlights to define the bigger shapes.
its very crude bcz i used a mouse .. but i hope i got the point across
also got lost in the shrinkage is actual moss paint growing on the stone. like not soft green hue to make the stones a little green - that works but i think actual moss.. growing here and there, really blend things u know.. and add more patches of dirt/earth without moss on the ground.. not just brownish hue.. maybe add some large flowers for color flavor too :P
Snake's old 60's M9. Still needs extra texture detail like handle grip and such and a Foxhound logo! (yeah I know gear is supposed to be obtained on field... but what do I care ha)
It's Boss's m1911, Pior and heavily modified -- I am almost positive you can get a good look at it if you call Sigint about it ingame, it's got enough changes that you'll want to see, if you own the game.
(also, thanks, Per. Updates eventually -- and Spacey, that looks incredible.)
Edit: Hey, slow art
Boring and unimpressive, but I feel bad posting here without an image.
Ho Suprore do you mean that Snake's gun is actually provided by Sigint? I couldn't remember for sure about the first and second mission of the game being both 'naked' or not. Or maybe you mean Boss' (female) gun? I thought it was called a Patriot but then again since I have no gun knowledge I couldn't tell if it's a fictional element or real gear.
Last time I had a broad look at the story line was by watching the subsistence re-edited 3h cutscene/movie and these little details are obviously skipped.
Anyways it's no final asset, and just a texture test so far really. Neo I'll post the flats as soon as I'm back home, I'll also try to have more interesting details put in by then like some deeper localized scratches and bumps, grip and logos. I'm no weapon person tho hence I might make tons of mistakes especially since it's just a small part of a bigger project - ie the whole BigBoss character.

He's given the gun by Eva when he first meets her, but the weapon was taken by Eva from Boss (the woman, yeah)'s personal gear. That's why all of it's modifications are perfect for her and snake's CQC fighting style, which he remarks on. If I recall correctly calling Sigint about it will have some (fairly small, but potentially helpful) images of it come up in that top left corner box that usually shows who you're talking to.
Dizzy, I think both your chin and forehead (as well as maybe the top of the head too) need to be a bit flatter....your model is very round and I think he has a bit sharper of features...also the ear looks a lil funny, like it pops out too much
EDIT:
think you also might want to consider nudging his lip up a tiny bit...looks too far down IMO
As said by PM I had a look at the custom MGS3 version of the gun and it looks quite horrible haha! I don't know yet if I'll go all the way, maybe I'll just add some more specific details esp if its possible with simple painted normals edits.
There is quite a bit of contrast between the old battled look of the gun itself and the brand new aspect of the silencer but I thought it kind of fits with the concept of the game - ie obtaining extra gear on field.
Flats as requested
Time for the less fun gear - water supply, codec aso.
Dizzy - I noticed a few things you could address to get better likeness. Firstly, look at the jaw line. Reno's doesn't seem to be so pronounced/sharp, but blends more with the neck, if that makes sense. Lower the corners of the eyes and soften the bags under the eyes a bit. The corners of the mouth could be pulled in, and you could add some more volume to the flesh around them. The definition of underlying structure of the cheeks isn't quite there. There's a receded line that goes diagonally down the cheek, from the middle of the bag under the eye and then outwards. The indents under the cheekbone that you have on your model are too pronounced. The temples also shouldn't be convex like that - Reno is more round. Also, the flesh above upper eyelid doesn't recede in - maybe a little closer to the nose, but definitely not on the outer side of the eye, it just goes straight up to the eyebrow. The nostrils should be a bit higher up on the side of the nose (so they appear larger). The eyebrows should go a little lower. The chin might be too pointy and narrow, but it's hard to make a judgment from only one angle. Finally, the ear looks a bit stuck-on, needs to be reshaped, I'd say.
In case my rambling didn't make much sense, here I'll attempt a paintover:

Bah, trying some new things. Really wip (4 quad ears!)
Sorry about the file size, but I wasn't getting good results with any more compression.

I like the object teleport but black portal was the coolest one

Some more work on the girl:
Ogle, still looking good, and could still use a bit more color variation.
....learning a likeness
texture's in progress - needs more variation and hues/tones (blues/reds)
crits appreciated..
Progress on the elf
I am loving zbrush3. finally figured out the topolgy tools. great feature.

SUPER !? Get Arshes base and sculpt something instead of pimping 15 zidane's a day! This is serious.

spacey - very nice. plz texture her!
Meanwhile, I think I need to try something else for a change. Does this look female?

Not really. Try making the eyes bigger and the mouth smaller, maybe put some planes in for alpha'd eyelashes too.
almost got my get my head kicked in , got lost in a bad place in some no good town, in a small industrial estate.

That's what you've been working on? Getting your head kicked in?
Yikes, glad everything turned out ok.

Diffuse is close to done, then its onto spec and normal.

Just some 2d stuff unfortunatly,
I will make a UT3 Player model of it.
Spacey, go and eat some chicken wings !
Btw cool character, maybe make the legs more close to each other.
@ Makkon
I think she looks allready very female. Of course, some big eyelashes would make it also a lot more female.
Now here is the real cute chick

So far :
That one last picture is touched up for levels and colors - nothing that a good engine couldn't do I'd say. Other than that it's max8 realtime screengrabs obviously.
