and her revolver textured
Keep it up, I like the style. Crits wise, the texture on the gun could use a bit more love, especially those couple of big bright red planes that look untextured.
and here is the little girls bear when millie gets upset,or hurt
inside the girls bag and with a little hat on
thanks matey im happy theres been nothing but postive so far i expected it to get torn apart
thanks guys
Keep at it.
You expect a thorn apart comments?..so here goes..
The gun texture doesn't really looks like a metal with the red/ white color you have currently, so shiny and smooth, looks like a brand new toy plastic gun. You can of course put some nice scratches in some place in the diffuse texture and a lot of scratches on the spec. At least give it a little bit out "rough" feeling to it. And for me a bright textured color gun is not a good idea, some people manage to control it to have a nice combination, but still I wouldn't recommend.
Legs looks too square-ish right now, smooth it out a bit make it more rounder. Probably the hands too. But I'm not too sure about kid's proportion, haven't done a good study on that so hopefully other people can give you comments on that.
Judging from her appearance, she looks like gonna have a heavy gunfight with all the spare ammo and a double clip on the SMG gun that she has attached to her back pack, it's not a practical things to have her wearing a skirt. Give her a short pants instead and probably wear a bicycle helmet too (for protection, she wear the knee pad already..safety first!
Mr.Beasx is too shiny, too. Do a bit of research first about the fur texture. It shouldh't have a tight hot spot like that on a furry surface. Also it looks like you wasted a lot of polygons there, the "Before ZBrush" stage is enough if you play around with some smoothing groups. But the bear's shoulder topology need some tweaks.
There you have it.
Overall, I like the concept of having cute-rough elements on 1 piece of work, interesting thought. Looking forward for this! Cheers.

thank you so much ive been after some brilliant crit like that for a while cheers for taking the time ill be taking on board alot of those things to fix but the gun is supposed to be a nerf plastic gun thats abit stylised so its kinda good it looks like a kids gun
thanks again
and the back
_Revel
thanks mate yer ive still got long way to go this is by no means finnished :P
but thatnks for the tips on the lips thats a good idea
and the bear is extremley rough still but all to gether this is just over 8k polys
put some hair on him aswell
front
back
with one 2k texture
yer the bear will very soon be in the pack once they are both rigged but at the moment i have some more things to add/clean up and i cant rig it yet.
yer i want him to kind of be abit kiddyish still beacuase he starts as a stuffed bear and changes much like peter puppy into a huge monster, i tried concepting him with massive defined arms and it looked really odd

oh and revel the blood is definatly going to be redone its just a simple painting for abit untill i finnish making my brushes
Google kids faces and bodies. Stylized is not an excuse for doing things wrong.
Just wanted to tell you that it's still looking pretty wrong, because nobody else did. Sorry, got no time for more detailed comments and I'm too late anyway as you said.
but at the moment this is the stage i am at with him. here is the heavy weapons kid for the game who is at the moment just called "fat kid"
heres the concept
im not much for concept art but im trying to get better
and here's the sculpt up to now still figuring out exactly how to dress him with what assets any crit or ideas for assets would be appreciated
crits welcome
the bag is very much not finnished on the mag its just a quick 10 min sculpt to show where the material is
but yer what you guys think of it
To get more life-like eyes, you need to add shadowing and tone down the super white you have going on them right now. You also need the color variation and different tones in the iris. Right now the irises on your characters are almost a solid color. The iris is indented into the surface of the eye, and catches light that changes its color - not to mention the natural color variations that occur.
You need to add more color to the skin tones too.
And I am sorry to say, but the texture pattern on the boy's pants won't work - look at what happens to it when the image is shrunk - you get a strobing effect, just as you would at a distance in game.
and as for the eyes we havnt decided on a style or method for making the eyes yet so i just aded blobs of colour for now as to not waste time throwing images at it till something sticks
but thank you for your crit
thanks
put some emmisive on the eyes of the zombie
this is pretty much the final trailer for zombie rush
well havnt posted in a while but this is what me, dayle hodgson scott joyce and chris milo have been working on its pretty much finnished now
Regardless nice models :P
all that aside thanks for the kind words
id like to see your style on your version its nice to see same ideas taken in completely different routes
