Mantis Girl WIP

sknueppel

Hey there Polycounters,
My name is Sebastian and I`m an environment artist from Germany.
In my freetime, I try to improve my workflows and just do some new things. At the Moment I `m working on a hybrid between a women and a mantis, this is my first Charakter sculpt, so I am sure there is a lot to fix.
I love this Forum and all the great Artists here. This is just the best place to be as a 3d Artist.

Critics would be welcome

Yours Sebastian

just tip on presentation rendering on black sucks dude try like light grey so we can see everything, some wires would be nice aswell whats the purpose of the model ?? keep it up looks ace though

sknueppel

Hey Thank you Guys my first advices ^^
Yeah I didnt thought about the background. I ll fix it this weekend, and will put some new pictures online. Thank you

The model looks great so far man! Was going to say the same thing about the background. Everytime someone presents a model on pure black, a game art pixie dies

TJS93

She has got great detail man.

Because I dont Want to let a Pixi Die, I ve made some new renderings with a gradient Background, worked a lil bit on the Model today but not that much.
I m not sure what to do with the "tail"... it would be nice If there are any suggestions

And thanks again for the comments

i'd want at least one of her arms to be the traditional mantid style...

sknueppel

Yeah I thought also about mantid Style Arms, maybe I get it together with the Human style, or some Transformation Style. First I ll finish the Tail, and then I ll make Touch ups and extras... before I retopolize it

Well, technically it is fine.

Concept-wise - there is nothing that screams 'MANTIS' there. The upper body could be male and I wouldln't see the difference. Very vanilla. I think it has potential, but to unleash it you'd have to think it over.

sknueppel

Ok, Thank you for your advise... The Concept was made about a year or so, and I never thought about realize it... Then when I started to build it, I found a lot of issiues I had to fix... Now I m alil bit stucked.
What I see, theres something missing, but donot know what, maybe it is realy the thing with the arms...

This is looking awesome. I'm looking forward to see the final result

Ok, Guys, thanks to the last free days, I could make some adjustements Took the arms further and the head, But the shapes are not finished yet.

Hope there are some suggestions... To get it more Mantis like ^^ I also thought about something fleshy like for the corsage and the "helmet" That it gets closer together, but not sure about it at the moment!

Thanks again for your support ^^
