Wow, Just checked out your photobucket, and the 3D models are Better :thumbup:
Raiskul, it's a fine start, but there's not much to crit at this point besides the 1 drawing. It's not bad, but not amazing. He doesn't really look "demonic" to me. I know your story is that he's trying not to change. . . but it doesn't read currently. keep going and it'll flush out.
how is that not rude? and where is your comment about his proportions being off?
seems to me you're going out of your way to be a dick to him as you were also being rude to him in the WAYWO thread.
Proportions aren't terribly off anyhow. you just need to bulk the character up some, and maybe make the head a bit smaller. and make him .5 to 1 head taller.
And that first reply of yours was extremely rude
You know if he copied the likes of Craig mullins as much as you, he might produce something that you don't feel like jumping all over him for.
I hope you get banned from here, as we don't need someone with your character.
raiskul: I hope this doesn't turn you off of polycount in anyway.
I think your characters silhouette has a lot of style. A couple things I think would help is shortening the torso (along with the arms), and making the legs a bit longer. The hips could also be a bit wider.
You have a good start for a character model sheet, some of these things might translate better in 3d.
He's been banned from various art forums for good reason (conceptart.org, and a few others).
The guys a nutcase, and it's about time it catches up with him.
Even acting like a goof on the internet has its consequences, as you should already know the art community is quite well knit Ryan Walsh.
I realize that the demon side of my character isn't very blatant in this image but keep in mind that he transforms into a demon so this is an image of his human form, though I too didnt get the feeling of "OH MAN this guy could transform and kill me" from this concept. If you check my photobucket,http://s690.photobucket.com/albums/vv267/raiskul/, out you'll see that this is an improvement on the previous concept.
As to the proportions I was wondering about those and thanks for the pics Death and Quaggs. I want him to be younger in age so his head is better proportioned for a younger look I think. I agree with you Cep the arms and torso do need to be shortend I think that would fix how the legs look.
The biggest thing that I've been having problems with is the style cause I cant really find concept art of what im looking for, if you've seen any half demon concept art i would love to see them (no Dante, Inuyasha, or Naruto types though).
Thanks for the help so far I'll continue to try out more concepts and post them before I start working on the 3d model so please keep posting. Anything that helps me achive that WOW factor is a plus so thanks again.
ps. I'm also going to start posting some of the concepts for the demons that will appear in the game
With the Alkia sketch I tried to fix up the proportions
crits are always welcome
thanks
On a side note, I have noticed a trend of people giving rude and unconstructive criticism, ie shitting on people's work, for really minor issues-- where did this trend come from? Deviant Art?. The original art had some narrow hips and ribcage for a standard human being, but it seemed like stylization. Basing every character on some "perfect" physique is not very realistic.
yeah i showed my friend the pic and he said the same thing about it looking like something from naruto. wasnt on purpose might be because of the hair and pants (or just the way I've learned how to draw). I'll be coming out with more concepts for the character.
thanks for the tip about what to look for cause ive just been having a hell of a time trying to find anything.
what do you guys think of tonfa swords as his weapon i feel like they fit with his character, being that they are able to change (close to mid range) and they would be energy blades.
"Change is the improvement of one's self not others."
Quote by me just know later
On another note here is another concept for Alkia this is actually the first one I had come up with but for some reason it didnt feel right but I think I'll go bacvk to it and tweek it for a bit.
I feel like the skinny look suits this character better than anything.
I like the flow between the two especially since he gains his powers after defeating certain opponents the energy spikes behind them would work for his flying/bird transformation.
what do you guys think
Model something!
please ignore the colors i am using them to section off the body for later unwraps
I am having a little trouble with the face so if you guys know of any good tutorials on face modeling please post it will really help me out
once again thnx for posting
used this as an oppurtunity to come up with some color ideas
thnx again
P.S. Blender, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Props to ya for being able to use it! I'll stick to silo cause blender makes my head spin!:poly122:
