this is the base body and will not be used like that !!! , actually i modeled it only to fold plates and busts around him , the one i'm working on is an electronic anubis , software used , blender .
Welcome to Polycount. You should probably state what your intentions are with this piece. Is it for in-game or for pre-render? I'm assuming pre-render since it's smoothed.
So crits on magician:
Seems like there's not much detail. Proportions are probably okay. I'd do a sculpt on this with Zbrush or mudbox. It reads as one big amorphous shape. No muscle definition, no straps or zippers. Just kind of boring.
Its pretty hard to give a crit on the magician because its black.. The face textures looks pretty good. I would think about trying to clean up the edge loops around the neck. Other than that not much I can say. The shape looks like it could use a little bit of work. The hands and feet look like they are a little small.
Anubis' head looks a little under-proportioned in comparison to the rest of his body. His waste looks a little thin as well.
Keep working away though. A texture on the magician will help with crits.
I agree with an earlier poster that the hands and feet on the Magician look small. Also, you have so much geometry in his face, but haven't modeled fingers that can articulate. (Like he's wearing mittens)
Perhaps if we could see the wireframe for the body it would help to critique the anatomy.
the topology of the magicans , i wasn't trying to make the body perfect since it will be smoothed and made of black leather , but the texturing of the clothes will be for specular and Bump , etc ...
thanks for nethan for his open rig !!
i just discovered that the rig effect weight should be corrected at the elbows *_* ... , working on it .
sorry for my poor english skills .
I think there is a piece missing here. What is the initial idea - I get that you are saying that they are fighting Anubis - but whats the background?
Is it based on a story, is there some meaning behind it, some symbols? It really looks very strange to me because I think I am missing the link - the connection between the characters.
good point , yes , it's 8088 A.D. , Anubises were revived from thier egyptian tombs but they show up with an electronic fashion , fighting human beings brutaly , those magicans are defending thier country , ...
i don't claim to have a "super story or concept" , but i think it is good enough .
the scene will be a palace with fallen ceilling .
^_^ .
Explain, in writing:
who the characters are
what is the interaction between the characters
where this is taking place
what the final state of this is to be (animation, still image, etc)
I am sorry but this is the most random thing I have ever seen- it does not make any sense at all. Its weired not just from the composition but also the characters itself.
Lets give you my random interpretation:
3 Emo siblings try to impress Anubis. But since they are so short they need to stack themselves on each other in order to reach the holy sight of Anubis. The Pillars in the background are the people that failed before because if you cant impress Anubis he will transform you into a pillar.
The red/ pink background supports the emo emotion and gives it some xtra dramatic feel and Anubis is gray because its a symbolic of being cold or stiff like a stone.
how does that sound?
Any way if you are already creating a scene some brainstorming or researching is always an good idea. Because without any good base the whole picture will fall apart because elements make no sense.
just saying...
already have the plan on my head from the begining , not making it with time !!!
here goes :-
Place :
- A palace of ancient time , it's celling is devestated and the pieces are scatterd in the sky , there's a portal in the sky too that is trying to suck everything slowly <no pun is intended> , ...
characters :
- An Anubis is revived from ancient time , but not like the old ones , he is Electronic , secret crew that appeared now !! , most of him will be galavaniezed with plates , and there will be some small fur on his chest <suggested>
- Magicans are the humen in that time who are defending earth , every single person is a magican now ..
Are these Merlin type magicians... or david copperfield magicians? In the shot they kinda look like they're performing a vegas magic show rather than fighting a demon.
Very interesting scene though, can't say i've ever seen anything quite like it, makes me happy.
KP, since Belias is not a native English speaker he or she may not realize that you mean "bad" in the Michael Jackson / Nintendo Powerglove sense. Hna chkt chkt HOO hoo!
ATLEAST IT'S NOT WORSE THAN THE GUY WITH THE YELLOW TEXTURES =]
But seriously... er, OP to save the stress of having to give peices of the story to people and just say it at the start? I mean... did you think people would have a clue about what this is when they first saw it? I certainly didn't.

You smoking weed boi? Just kiddin' but er... ...uhm..nice work.
I wish I had such a wild imagination that I could create a universe where 3 emo magicians who wield magic like David Copperfield pummel Anubis before they are slowly sucked into a portal. And they say all originality is dead! HUMBUG!
Come on, give the guy a break here, I see he is trying really hard to share his ideas and vision here. I think Belias has just a rough time explaining what he imagines and has dificulties with English. I rather support his wild escapade here in the arts of 3D, even if he is more of a new starter, you cant ignore the fact that this is really interesting. I do think this was maybe his intension from the first place, just create something only he would understand. Or?
This scene is awesome, and I have no idea why anyone is giving him a hard time over it. Just seems like people are piling on the guy who doesn't speak english.

I think the face looks okay, but it's very flat.
I would do a sculpt on Anubis as well.
Anubis' head looks a little under-proportioned in comparison to the rest of his body. His waste looks a little thin as well.

they will be fighting Anubis .
Edit : just saw other posts , ok , i will texture the guys and start making the plats on Anubis ^_^ ...
great edge loops on the magician's face! :thumbup:
it took me 10 minutes to type that.

#2 Your new collar piece is forcing your "magician" to look up.
#3 I like the face texture
#4 I'm still confused.

egyptian god fighting emo magicians in an ancient palace in the future, oh yeah and theres a portal above too. less is more sometimes
Very interesting scene though, can't say i've ever seen anything quite like it, makes me happy.
It might be because everything's in the early stages at this point to tell what the crap is going on.

PS : why would i explain what is happening ?
a clown-head .
haven't laughed so hard in a long long time!
I'm actually somewhat excited to see the the final render. No crits from me!
lol this thread is great.
But like most I just don't 'get' what this is all about.
I'm anticipating to see where you are going with this.
Belias: I can't wait to see this finished now. Keep going!
Maybe I was mad at myself for not being smart enough to understand?
Keep it up!
