#24 - Demon - Tulkamir

Tulkamir

A really rough and quickly done concept. (Working from the idea that every demon is a fallen angel).



Yea, dunno if I'll get it done forsure, but hopefully I will.

[edit]Oh, and critiques would be great, though I do plan on doing some cleaner references I'd love to hear some. (And yes, I realize he has 4 toes on one foot and 5 on the other. I failed my preschool math class, ok?[/edit]

Given that the competiton is for a small demon, perhaps a fallen seraph or cherub might work better than a full sized angel. Just a thought...

Tulkamir

Good point. This was actually not supposed to be full sized. I'm not so good at the small/deformed thing. I'll try to redo it as a cherub, thanks man.

Tulkamir

Changed my concept to a more baby like one. Going for a cupid turned demon look. I was going to make the bow as well, but I doubt I'll have the polys. 1015 triangles, going to need to use the extra 9 to somehow work the wings out, right now they aren't working.

Tulkamir

Well, hopefully someone actually checks this thread here soon cause I'm having a bit of problem with Maya here... when i try to mirror my skin weights it doesn't work. The axis that it should be on does nothing at all, other axis do sometimes, but of course in the wrong orientation. Anyone know what to do?

Thanks.

Tulkamir

Nevermind.

LOL nice switch over to the evil baby design, I am confused about his butt and belly though, is he wearing a diaper? If not, that is one beer-bellied baby with a gudunka-dunk ass. Yeah you gotta experiment with the wings, its gonna be tough to stay under 1024 but I'm sure you'll manage. Sorry bro, I'd give you some help but I'm a 3dsMax kinda guy.

Wells

Yeah... this scares me

If he's wearing a diaper, I'd add a cut in the stretched polys of his upper-ass, to give the demonic diaper the definition it deserves. If he's bare-assed, I'd still add one there but use it to round it out. The extra 6 triangles would really help his silhouette.

Might want to adjust his posture, as well. His ram-rod straight spine really kills what character he could have.

Tulkamir

Haha, damn, good point, thanks guys. He's got some major ghetto booty and beer belly happenin. I dunno why I made him so fat. And yea, he could use some more poly's in the back... I'll have to try to harvest 4 from somewhere else, cause I'm only at 2 left.T hanks for pointing that out.

And I was planning on adjusting the posture using his rigging, is it usually better to model them in a certain posture instead?

Thanks very much.

Tulkamir

Hmmm... just to make sure, is his head big enough/body small enough? Or should I adjust?

Thanks.

Tulkamir

Alright... now I have a serious problem... it won't let me add a texture to the model. I get an error that says "Error: Error while parsing arguments."

What in the hell does that mean? And how do I fix it?

Flippin maya. :S

Thanks.

[edit]Nevermind. Sorry, another idiocy on my part. Just had to delete the history.[/edit]

Tulkamir

Did some work on the head texture.




What do you all think? Critiques would be great.

Thanks.

I'd say his nose and eyes (or eyesockets) are a bit too big. If you look at babies, you'll see that they have small features on a relatively big head.

I like the veins you've done all over. They give him a very creepy feel.

Tulkamir

Hmmm... damn, looks like you are right. Hopefully I'll have some time to fix that here.

Thanks for the critique and reply man.

Tulkamir

How long exactly do we have to do this? I'm in pacific time, so do I have until midnight my time, or a diff time zone? Or do we get part of tomorrow too?

Sorry, just a bit unclear on this all.

Also, an update. Some more critiques would be absolutly great. I could use em. :P
