Thank you so much everyone.
I had complete brain meltdown this past weekend but somehow managed to pull through. Thanks in particular to Rasmus for straiting me out.
I knew it would be tough to finish but I`m soo happy I did. Had a really great time doing this guy even though a bit more sleep would probably been healthy.
Is it just me or does Polycount kick ass this year? Maybe I just havn`t taken enough time to look through the other forums but from what I`ve seen here we are in good shape for some top spots aren`t we?
No I agree, people keep raving on about the Koreans or whatever, but PC stands out with a relatively high number of really great entries. We all knew it already, but damn, Polycount kicks ass!
r4ptur3 - for the record those vines where easy enough to make hi-poly, just happily clicking away with splines in max and then bring into zbrush but when it came to doing the low-poly I cursed more than once that I decided to make a character like this. curse curse
I feel great now! Even watched TV for 2 hours and didn`t feel bad about it. Spare time is great....so when is the next competition? *Gets hit over the head by friends and loved ones.
There's so much awesome stuff going on in this one! Fantastic job. Those low-poly vines are amazing. However much frustration they caused you looks like it was totally worth it. Without the wireframes, they look just like the hi-poly. Great stuff.
so it seems I made it to the top25...barely..wohooo!!
thank you so much everyone for your support!!
foreverendering - you are still number one to me.
snake85027 - the basemesh is really nothing special, just super basic low-poly i recommend gavimage`s tutorial.
anyway, after some trouble with my aging computer and me just not feeling up for it I finally managed to do my bg image and turn-table animation.
until fred uploads it to the domwar server here is a timed exclusive just for you guys.
again thank you so much for your support and a big congrats to all of you who made it this year.
Big congrats, again. And nice turnaround. I really think this should be mandatory in forthcoming comps! Shows the model so much better than just stills... Shame about the 10mb limit!

the beauty shot is fantastic, and I really like the highpoly and background story as well - well done man !
