I hate furrys now.... so much
polycounter
Kay, this was a model done for a mod called "Dracten," but the mod ended up being blatent stupidity from beginning to end, so I quit. This was the model I never finished. It was a character that I designed and he accepted. We called her the "converted vixen" or Arona. She was a character I idolized.... but now I hate her.
go ahead, cheap, do a mexican hat dance, you know you want to.

If it was all painted like the concept, it would at least make sense that it was like that, and have a cool visual style as opposed to being straight photosource over painted armor.
also, the mesh doesnt quite represent the concept - the cool parts of the concept are the ears, no sleeves and asymetry on arms, the smaller sleeker eyes, and the light colored armor - all of which did not make it into the model/texture, which hurts it the most. the orange face and blueish-white armor is a great color combo, and again, with the yellowish brown-blackgreen in the texture... it doesnt match or work as well as the concept shows.
my point? stay closer to the concept if it looks badass and causes you to fall in love with it, the end result will be much more appealing.
and lose that cut over the eye
Here's my lame and rather incoherant excuse.
I forgot to mention that the concept was actually a later version I did, long after I started the model. I suppose I never got around to really fixing these problems on the model, mostly because I lost interest, partially because I forgot it existed.
I'm just wondering... should I finish it? It really has no use now.
The dark grey armour and clothes are just bland and samey compared to the ideas laid out in the concept (although a little more colour variation on some parts of the clothing in the concept might help a little).
Pretty good work, but could be so much better.
It is quite charming.
I think that what the concept holds, and how it is translated in the model/texture, is done very poorly.
The model itself is nicely done though, and the texture is deffinately not too bad, but how does it relate to the concept?
Yeah, this character has been inconsistent from the beginning. Here's an earlier concept of her (this is old, don't make fun of me http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/Makkon/Dracten_copyrighted_NewCV_by_Makkon.jpg ) and and it's been changing ever since. I've had trouble landing a basic look for her since she was created. Just recently I went with that look.
You guy's are very convincing, and I agree with your statements.
Why is she a converted vixen?
Back to the head. The expression is neutral. Is this because the model is rigged for facial expression? If not, I'd suggest modeling the expression from the concept back into the model.
As to the Furry's, well yeah, It's a fandom full of dysfuncionals, and the Drachten Mod is a bit ambitious. Good luck with the model, though.

Recently people have critiqued me for this, and your model could probably benefit too quite a bit: alpha mapped planes for the fur. Maybe it's too late for that, but it would help.

not in general... but i'm neither a furry nor a scalie if you mean that
sorry about that its all good
hey makkon you might want to post your updated model,also if you dont liek
the body you can make it look more animalistic , quadped feet or clawwed hands to make her more fox like... up to you
Holy crap, That Tal is still going at the freaken thing. Its all my fucking fault this horror still exists. I encouraged him after we meet at an invite a game of Sven Co-op years back, on how to go ahead with his mod and were to look for help. I should have gotten to know him more then 15 minutes because I'd have learnt that he was fucking insane.
Im sorry, Makkon, for encouraging a psychopath.
i personally just stay on the nose-out-principle: i just care my business. prolly i do not care if his project turns out well or not, that's his problem not mine ^_^.
is just big bla bla bla nothing more, i guess its just
some kid thats thinks of him self what a great idea he
have, a big failure if you ask me, good miracle that a
HD crash ate all the shit i made for this MOD.... and
realizing that im just waste my time there.
The concept is pretty good, and the model is quite allright as well, but the texture really doesn't fit. Maybe if you stayed closer to the concept, it could turn out great.
my two cents.
edit: while im posting I should probably comment on the model, I agree with whats been said about the concept having a bit more life. I've had difficulty in the past matching the feel of a concept so I sympathize.
I think the showing fur on the arms makes for better design, and the greater variation of tones on the concept also is nicer to look at. The head texture on the model has a bit of a stuffed animal look to it, I think its the lack of eye highlights mainly.
Id encourage you to keep on with it or even redo from scratch, I think its clear you have the skills to make a cool model from this if you de-associate it in your mind from that crappy mod
or... shouldn't I? I dunno. I don't even like this model.

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, Scotty never intended his chars to be "furry".
His FAQ:
Q: Eeeew! Furry!
A: Hey, that's not a question! I didn't know about anything Furry until after I started the comic. Though I know now the art style is regarded as such. I really don't care either way so long as I make you laugh : )
Dunno where I got the idea, but I'm convinced that the author(Scotty) is basing his main chars off of RL pets. o_O
Anyway...
Imho, most of the furry fandom is filled with people best kept away from the real world, but keep in mind that it's a very broad fandom - TONS of different interests at play here.
OT - Like the colorized concept, and compared to the current model it's a lot better.
As most others are saying, start from scratch - If you can keep it close enough to concept, then it'll be killer.
