And the award for Best use of an Octopus goes to...

skankerzero

yeah!

I like this one!

seven

Thanks for the enthusiasm. I have some time off this week so I'll be finishing him in short order. He's a little heavy on the poly count but I might only trim down a little... the specs did say plus a couple hundred poly's. Besides, it's for fun anyway.

Oh snap. You're carpet bombing this shit with win bombs.

quick base colors and lightmap... don't know if I'm sold with this color scheme yet.

Holy crap that's a cool octopus.... :poly142:

TylerFluharty

This is coming along really nice. I love the concept.

seven

thanks

I tried doing a bit of the Blue-ringed stuff and it didn't work out quite right in my tests... I might still try to work it in. It's why I haven't really touched the head...I still have some work to do on the main body but this is where I'm at right now.

looks good so far. love the ship wreck shoulder pads, very clever.

DockRock

Great stuff! Love those textures, and the shoulder pads are awesome!

TylerFluharty

Those textures are awesome

leslievdb

haha this is awesome really cool concept
textures look great so far

Sukotto

Looking nice! The ship is looking great! And I really like the sketchy feeling you got going in the texture

seven

Thanks peoples

I'm pretty much done with the color pass unless something really bugs me (or anyone else for that matter) in the next day or so. I'm going to do a spec map and then a platform and call it good.

Graze

Really nice character, nice to see old school texturing

pity

Cool idea! And the textures looks good! Good luck!

ranek

super cool

Goeddy

you got realy lots of very small highlights on the ships and on his pants wich, imo is lowering the readability of the forms.
also some ambient occlusion would suit him very well. especialy on his back below the octupus.

seven

Thanks for the nifty comments... you make my insides all squishy.

@Goeddy Thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure what you mean about the highlights. Could you elaborate for me?

Goeddy

hey,
so i marked the spots im talking about with red circles.
also i drew in some ambient occlusion, he could realy need some more.

seven

Cool. Thanks for the paint over. I'm still not understanding what you mean about those highlights "lowering the readability of the forms." My confusion is coming from a place of vocabulary. Since highlight, midtones and shadow work together do define form I'm a little bit unsure how they are lowering the readability. Highlights usually mean an edge. If it's next to shadow it tends to mean a crack. You've highlighted both of these categories. Are you saying you don't like the highlights or that they are too strong?

Side note: My web server is down for the time being... may be up later today. Not sure.

Goeddy

sry maby i was not clear about this, i ment the highlights are too strong. the placing is okay.
with lowering the readability i ment, that when i first saw this i thought "wow a lot of white dots on the ships" before i recognized that its just the edges of the woodplanks.

if you got em on a seperate layer i would recommend to just lower theyr intensity by 20%.

puh lots of text for a small issue like that XD

TylerFluharty

These textures are just fantastic man!

seven

@Goeddy: Sweet I'll reduce the intensity of those highlights a bit. Thanks.

@TylerFluharty: Thanks!

Throwing together the pages now... but here's a turnaround.
