Dominance War II - Gwad

gwad

hello everyone,
i enter in the battle,i made my 2d design after having to begin my 3d model ,and i'm here currently ,
my basic model





I have useful my mass (shadow) of my character 3d to begin a design, it 's only one sketch for the forms

Cridder

Looks pretty cool. I suggest not to make the foot that large on one side. Though he is clearly mechnically enchanced it looks like he would have an really award time walking and would be less effective in a war.

PS. Remember you only can have 20% of the body mechanical and if the rest is armor then you have to clearly show that it is armor.

gwad

thank ,
yes it's good critic , it's true that I left of except subject
for my 2d design it's a sketch and I think of making a bio organic armour , but I will make 80 % organic .

gwad

my modifications and my additions, and one rendu quickly



it is a combination

rollin

love the way the metal part flow into the body.. but i would drop the 1-boot-thing.. i´t doesn´t look like it could work.. you have a real smooth body-design.. and these extra-parts look out of place bc of their bulkiness

but keep on.. very nice stuff

gwad

thank you,
for his combinason I think more made a metalic armour for the hips and for the top of the body a bionics armour and flexible device , by example, out of rubber or latex, lol

I continue especially to establish the design , but i advance my 3d character too .

Japhir

really cool! i like the way you keep working on the concept! the huge plate on his belly now looks good but i wonder how that would look if he had legs... not really bendable..
other than that good job!

gwad

thank ,
i don't know the futur look of my character , but i adjust him at the moment for a good final posing and good articulations lol,
but for the matter, I think has another thing that the metal.

Quickel

this is looking really good - nice modeling. the neck looks a little on the long side.

rooster

liking your progress with this man, keep at it!

gwad

thank you the guys,
I modified his neck and added a part of his armour,for the concept, I thought has shoes which propels it has the vertical, and of small wings to plane , he cannot fly but only plane .
I think of making him real wings, no mechanical like a bat , not of feathers , i hesitate

Jesse Moody

i'm liking the way this one is heading. Keep it up man.

gwad

thank guy ,it's really encourage,
i begin a concept of my texture,

gwad

hi ,
i gave up the idea of the cockpit and i began the wings ,
[edit]
(i'm sorry for my English but i try to better me )

gwad

what do you think of this symbols on his belly ?

Xaltar

The wings are organic right? If so you need some heavy muscle structure to support them and I think the base of the wing where it joins to the body needs to be thicker. [edit] Actually, looking at the wings I think you should rethink your wing design. The way it is now would never work anatomicaly unless the bones were titanium or somesuch. The amount of shear on the wings where they attach to the body would snap them off in a heartbeat. Have a look at some bird and bat pics to get an idea of how wings should look.

Looking good otherwise. Keep at it.

PeterK

Oh you know, I love the pants.

gwad

thanks,

xaltar :
I am annoyed,I thought that it would be possible for him to plane , it's a problem for me, can be reinforcements of metal would arrange the problem ...

just a test of rendu and a idea of the size of its wings

Xaltar

Have a look at some bat wings as reference, it shouldn't be hard to adapt what you have to a more "realistic" design. Sorry if I came across harsh, it was 4am when I posted lol.

Don't get discouraged, there is still loads of time.

gwad

It's not a concern, on the contrary, I thank you ,
I think of making a good reinforcement in bone so that it have wings strong ,

gwad

I worked on the hands/gloves

Xaltar

Looking good, try and sharpen up the details a bit with the pinch tool

This is what I meant with the wing.



Designed like this it would work.

gwad

thank you, , in my idea, I thought has my final posing, I want that it folds up one of its wings, and that that resembles a cape , with your version of the wing, it will be impossible ,but I really thank you

and this is my final face,

gwad

hi everybody ,
a litle up date

anton980

Hi! I was curious if you are going to give this guy a weapon or not... havent seen anything in concepts

gwad

yes, i think has a large malefic sword (in bone and iron ), but i still hesitate for the design , and a shield attached to the arm .


up
my basic concept of blade .

gwad

hello,i thinks of stopping this for the higth poly, I begin the low poly, all criticisms is the welcome, thanks

rollin

nice nice not that sure about the rounded spikes on the knies

but hey.. this loooks realy cool (the boots!! )
next stop.. lowpoly.. gon

struve

Awesome! I'm surprised how little feedback you've gotten on this.
- The shoulder pads need a little lovin, other then that this is looking really great.

gwad

rollin-
thank you,
for the spikes (pics) , it's true that will be difficult,

struve-
thank you, I don't know for the feedback.... but it is very nice of your share,
for the shoulders, i would modify to make it squared

here my low (it's not finished), and my beginning of weapon,

some test on the head and blade ,

gwad

hi guys,
I think of having to optimize it still more, but I am has not far of 6000 tris. for the character and 1100 for the sword .

gwad

this his my new concept for weapeons ,many blades who come to him from the back

Cridder

Reminds me of Doc.Oc and Karigan. They look cool but they look like they bring you over the character poly-limit (6,000), do they? Looking pretty cool though

gwad

yes exactly , I thought has an attack like underworld2, the vampire , for the limit of polygon I will pay attention ,some tests of normalmap and posing but one should not look at the connections for the moment

edit /rollin it is true that it is not very pleasant ,i change this .

rollin

nice seeing him finally normalmapped
but these gif-images are realy killing my last nerv..

gwad

hi , i have finish my normamap and i begin my diffus .
(I hope to have some small feedback )

gwad

hi everybody ,
I almost finished the face

gwad

i advance a litle ...

Cridder

Your guy is a little dead looking why not try giving his armour the same feel? Give it some stains, scratches, rush and all the lovely stuff metal gets with age. Same with the cloth.

My two-bits, looking good

hawken

your texture need some love.

the model is very cool

Spark

Honestly, when I look at this character I think he is a Kiss groupie or something. Maybe you should think of a different color to the face rather than black and white (like the group Kiss used to do) Or change the cross symbol over the eye. Just think you need to push the textures like Hawken is suggesting, and add some varients to the character.

Spark

gwad

cridder_
thank a lot , you are right ,once my diffuse finishes, I would break all that, and for fabrics I would make a map opacity .

hawken_
thank , i don't have pushed the texture for the moment
,and it have only the diffusemap and the normalmap ,but I think that with a good sp

systmh

lookin' hot. as long as you refrain from putting a design on the face that completely surrounds the eye, i think you'll avoid the whole kiss groupie thing. i'm looking forward to seeing the spec map. good luck!

rollin

keep in mind that you have to give the texture colors.. even if you texture black and white you may not use only black and white..

the other thing is, you use a lot of highcontrast scratches and roughness, this does not work within a highcontrst colorscheme

so if you want him very dark and monochromatic, i would suggest you give him at least one xtra color to accentuate special parts of the armor, separate the body and the armor with colors and work into all black and white a color tint which is complementary to the xtra color

ahhh.. only a guess

derricksong

i like the black and white colour combination, it give him a "cool" feeling, but i do agree with rollin too, maybe give him some cool colour variations like blue or green will be better, is only my suggestion, hope will help

gwad

I have really problems with the search for colors, I tested the green and blue, but I go persevered ,thank you for your councils, I will follow them ,and that helps me well !
I would post my tests of colors so that you can advised me

I worked on the head/hair and the wings, but for saying true, I have many difficulties to push the texture

systmh

love the new hair, he looks so... scene. just kidding. i like it.

Cridder

I kinda liked the kiss look personally for the face cause right now he kinda reminds me of Marilyn Manson withe a sweet hair cut. I suggest that you add some veins on the face to make it look less painted. He is pale enough they should be showing through. I would also add them on the neck and exposed biceps.

Also I agree with the green and blue theme. I think that the wings would look good if they were a dark emberal green. I've posted a image below to address what I have been suggesting. The viens have been over exagerated to make them visible.



My two-bits Keep up the pase.

Vylaroth

I like the sculpting work you have with this character. The diffuse is a bit bland at the moment but I hope you crank it up in the future.

The character resembles the comic character Lobo a bit(http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/172/lobo5ez.jpg).

ryuju

maybe some blood stains a little on the armour, he has blood on his face probably got some on his armour too. But i agree that the texture needs a little something. Other than that it is looking incredible!

gwad

systmh
thaks

cridder
thank you very much for your assistance, me also I liked the old head but I find this is a little more monstrous ,once again thank you guy! that really gave me good idea .

vylaroth
thank , yes , like to "spawn" and "the crown" and "requiem chevalier vampire" , i m fan of lobo he have very good style

ryuju
thank you very much, I took your advice and that also helped me well, thank you

i add blue and green colour
I still have much work...
i must add a opa map and work in my specu , i thinks add a emissive map too and search a final posing
up finish my weapon lol

say to me what think them , thanks
( sorry for my english ...)
