Looking good, agreed about the weapon, also I hope you're not gonna leave those square cutouts on the weapon, prolly just wip though.
I love his face, but I think it could look better if you threw in some dark areas, like around the eyes. Or maybe creepy,shiny black likes, like a spider's.
Keep it up!
Thanks rollin. Yeah, Im gonna do more re-work the weapon. And yeah ill definitly add more color variation to his skin,,maybe more neutral warm colors to contrast from the cool armor color. Im also thinking of changing the green colors on the armor and the energy glows to blue to match the ice weapon.. But importantly Im gonna finish the base and rig first then go back to the fixes.
Thanks Jaco, yeah Ill fix the weapon and add more variation to the skin.
WOOOHOOO!!! finally finished!! Wow... worked on up it till the last 10 mins left to deadline. I wanna thank all of you guys that gave me great feedback and support! It really was a tough time trying to cram as much free time I can get into this event. I was really dissappointed last year from not being able to finish on time.. and finally this time I made it. Good luck to all of you comrades here. I have seen some awesome talent and work here and have learned tons of valuable things. Polycount FTW!!
Now I present to you.. GRAWL! warlord with Ice Magic artifact weapon.
Ged- thanks, no the renders I did were all done using the default Max scanline render. I would love to try and get this guy into the unreal 3 engine tho.
Nice work man, he really looks like he'd fit nicely in the Unreal universe yeah.
I love his shoulder plate, dunno why but I can't help thinking it looks like some evile polycount simon-says machine!
Xaltar- Thanks, I really appreciated you keeping an eye on my thread. Your comments and feedbacks supported me and motivated me throughout the event. I miss your avatar tho.. was very playful, hehe, bring it back! Also, I hope you will be able to finish next year. See you around.
Tough luck not making top 50 This years comp was too big with too many competitors IMO. I think I will skip next year if its the same or bigger, there is just no point given the number of entries. You don't even get all that much in the way of crits because of the sheer number of entries... I think I'll just sit on the sidelines and route for my favorites next time.
Its ok, I am glad that I was able to finish on time this time. I wasnt too happy with the submitted shots.. I wish I had submitted the wallpaper shots with the better pose but yeah, I also saw so many other awesome pieces that didnt make it into the top 50.. I have learned alot from this years contest and know what I need to improve on. After the war was over, looking around thru the other forums, it was like trying to compete in the olympics. There were soo many great talent out there.. This was a blast, and I cant wait til next years war. Thanks still for routing for me throughout this war Xaltar. I hope i wont let you down next time..hehe!
