Elemental - snemmy - ice

snemmy

Elemental rendered with diffuse, normal and spec map

bleh.. im attempting to rig it right now but i HATE rigging.
wings still need some work. need to add a bump map to my normal map and get some more detail in there.

hope we get an update on the state of the contest soon.

Asherr

you sprayed her with fake snow!

make the blue parts semi-transparent

Illusions

Yeah Snemmy, try some alpha-mapping goodness on this one, cause it can't hurt to try, you could always ditch it if it doesn't look good...

snemmy

ive tried alpha-mapping bits but can't seem to find anything that looks even halfway decent.

glad we've got two extra weeks. i can do a bit more work on the wings and secondary bits.

sweetie, the pink eyes have got to go... :P

snemmy

yes i know.. the eyes.. im having a hard time getting them to look nice

snemmy

newest incarnation

and ARGH! this whole time my green channel on the normal map had been inverted. fixed it and it looks MUCH better now.

still a few more things to take care of, like the eyes.

Looking nice Snemmy - it could do with more colour variation though in my opinion. At the minute there seems to be only the white and the dark blue parts - try giving it some variations on the bluey colour around different parts so its not so monotone.

Keep up the good work

'final render'

bleh, im calling this ice bitch DONE.

I recognize that you're calling her done, but I'd suggest two things. First, in this pose, she looks knock-knee'd (I think that's what it means). That is, her left foot seems to be too far left in relation to her knee. Could just be the angle, but I doubt it. Second, this being an ice creature, I'd recommend using some transparency here and there. (edit- er, more transparency than what I can barely make out on the shoulders)
