Forest Troll

Hey everyone, i have some WIP shots to show everyone. Remember these are all WIP shots and not final characters by any means.

This first is a character I HARDLY EVER get to work on so he's been around for more than a year. I worked on him recently want to get some feedback on him.

Quite a few projects on the go but lookin for some feedback on my monsters.

I like it, but it looks very symmetrical at the moment. What about shifting the base of the tree so it grows more from one shoulder?

Here's one of the versions for my forest troll. I plan to have 3 different versions rendered.

almighty_gir

needs more cowbell.

and lensflares.

thatanimator

oh laaaawd the lensflare!! seriously didn't think I'd ever see one in the year 2011!! thank you sir! so nostalgic!! :-)

slipsius

lens flare = bad!

face looks pretty cool. i guess its just the really blue veins on the arms that bother me.

Ikosan

really clean and nice:) he seems to have a spike in the skinning at the bottom of his belly in that render though. I'd look into getting a mask on that rim light to mask out naturally occluding areas like the armpit though Also LENSFLARE!!!!1!

Haha my friends and I giggled about the lensflare on his hands too. I have a version without it I should upload instead lol. Oh man, I had no clue I was the first in 2011

tac0m

I had no idea lens flare was so bad though. How do I go about adding a light orb in his hands then?

Anyone have any 2011 fixes for that? Lol

tac0m

no lens flare hehe

this is just the marmoset screen cap. No post effects on this one

Actually, in SOME people who have belly fat there is a crease that runs up the treasure trail. Not everyone has it but it is prominent in people who used to be fat but then lost some weight and have this flabby skin left over.

I like the helmet. But for god's sake, cover his buttocks with a loincloth!

pinkbox

the veins need to be toned down

tac0m

HAHAHAHAHA everyone talks about the butt. HAHAHA oh man EVERYONE comments on his butt , he has a loin cloth on btw. I think you mean a kilt or something.

MrNinjutsu

Nice, i think the tree is a little out of placem ot at least i think it looks plain. Maybe get some mushrooms growing from it? Heck even a small animal just perching on top?

Good work and clean geometry from a glancing look!

Illusive

i think the veins, even though they break it up and look good, they pop just a bit too much. other then that i think it looks awesome, great proportions and cool design

[Q]uik

definitly lower the opacity on the veins, maybe make them a TAD smaller aswell

other than that it looks awesome!

tac0m

thanks guys. I'll see what I can do to handle those veins better. i find i always get more feedback from polycount than any other forum
