WIP Wyvern and drow rider

EmAr

Hi, I've been working on this for the last 4-5 days. Spear is done in Silo, all the rest is Zbrush. I'm planning to make this as complete as I can(maybe even a portfolio piece?)











Thanks for looking, any C&C is more than welcome

EDIT: oops forgot to upload this one:

P442

gnarly! maybe give the dragon nostrils?

Soft_Hands

The pupils on the Drow could be enlarged a bit.

EmAr

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll remake the eyes I guess. Now nostrils are on my list also Today I tried to retopologize my ZTool. It seems to be ok to me, what do you think?

EmAr

Some progress on the face:

Gallows

New render looks so much better. All I can see is the lips needing a bit of work and the hair. But other than that, keep it up.

EmAr

Thanks for your comment Gallows Today I started the body. Here's what I got as I am going to bed:

EmAr

And another update:

EmAr

Started putting it together:

Soft_Hands

She doesn't have much of a brow.
Her ear lobe looks like it's connecting to her neck rather than her jawline.
Her pupils are much better and more reasonably sized.
I like how her body is shaping up. A well toned mid rift will make it more appealing.
Keep it up.
Oh, I suppose you're done with your wyvren?

EmAr

Worked on the legs and the waist, I hope it looks better:



And the boots are complete-ish modeling wise:



I'll get to work on the face and ear now, thanks for pointing out all this stuff Wyvern is also not done yet. There are stuff like the mount and the collar..maybe some pieces of armor...err nostrils still, some more work around the eye etc.

EDIT: One last shot. Just wanted to show them together

EmAr

I started the low poly of the drow:

Gerasimimumu

Her feet look too small. They would also get a little wider towards the toes, right now they are tapering in, carrot like. Nice boots, though I'd expect a more 'natural' look for an elf.

EmAr

Low poly update:





I'll start the wyvern's low poly tomorrow.

achillesian

boob loops look kinda bad

MrMachete

they look fine to me :S it's for the cloth she is wearing around them

EmAr

I was thinking about removing that cloth and making a leather+metal bra kind of thing yesterday. It's a little too bland right now, right?

Also I found out that I missed your comment about the feet, Gerasimimumu. Thanks for pointing that out. An update on the feet:

EmAr

Going on with the wyvern low poly:

natetheartist

it would be nice if the head of the wyvern had more structure to it. Right now, the skull needs more archetecture to be an interesting shape. More definition of separation points/muscles.

Here's something for ideas that i just found on the first google run.

EmAr

Thanks for the reply natetheartist, I'm getting somewhat confused about what to add and what not to but I think this works better:

ZacD

Looks like a dinosaur.

EmAr

Which dinosaur does it loke like? It's OK as long as it looks like a carnivore one I think. Here's a bra update:



The spider web is too bright but I'll make it dark in diffuse and high in specular like metal. That'll look better hopefully.

EmAr

Back on the wyvern.. I want the peeled scales to be seen on the low poly. I started that part today. Feels a little strange to work with triangles without worrying about edgeloops but it's fun

EmAr

Last screengrab for tonight:

EmAr

Here's a normal map preview. The map is 2048x2048 and contains the drow, wyvern, weapons etc.:

achillesian

i like the wyvern alot more than the rider

roosterMAP

Love the dragon scales. But not much to look at on the neck. no change in pattern for the underbelly. most lizards do.

Alex0Xander

That's looking really cool. Somehow I don't find the drow very attractive, but then again it is unfinished.

EmAr

Thanks, I'll finish this one with these scales but that's a good point to remember next time.



Any comments on colors would be awesome, thanks for looking

EmAr

Another update, still playing around with colors:

EmAr

Still lots of work to do on the textures but the normal map is pretty complete:





Any comments are welcome, thanks for looking

EmAr

I did some quick skinning with bipeds today, I'll complete the textures and call this done after I get some nice shots in CryEngine 2 or UE3:







Thanks for looking
