i want your fold sculpting skillz
peaz?
hope you get all your stuff together man, should be an awsome folio
Honestly, there's very little you can do to not piss off a religious nut
On the crosses:
Love the badger Daphz, great design=)
Maybe it's just me, though. /shrug.
I think he wants to become known as "that guy who always uses upsidedown crosses" so that he'll be instantly recognizable across the board without having to physically place his name on the images in type.
Let me know if i'm off here Daphz, love your stuff by the way
The dude with the bat is pretty neat too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_St._Peter
"In Roman Catholicism the Petrine Cross is not seen as Satanic in any way. However, an inverted crucifix (a Latin cross with an artistic depiction of the crucified body of Christ upon it) is seen as immensely disrespectful, and could be used to represent Satanic forces.[citation needed] The distinction between a Cross of Peter and upturned Crucifix is sometimes obscured, leading to confusion about the acceptability of each symbol. This was seen when controversy arose over the aforementioned Papal visit to Israel; pictures of the Pope sitting before a Petrine Cross were widely circulated on the Internet in an attempt to prove that the Catholic Church is associated with Satanism and the Antichrist.[2][3]"
basically it boils down to the idea that Simon Peter felt unworthy of being crucified upright
if anyone ACTUALLY has a problem with this, either on this board or in the industry, they are obviously misinterpreting this and i would recommend they look into things a little more before just assuming what they have heard by others. if daphz was putting a little upside down body crucified on that cross, then he might be setting himself up for some ridicule, but the way he has it now he's not representing anything other than the crucifixion of Saint Peter.
Love the cel-shaded character!
As far as the upside down cross, it doesn't really matter what it's origins are if 90% of the people initially think "satanism" or "anti-religion"
Thats like using the non skewed swastika and saying its the Hindu peace sign... of course Satanists are probably responsible for a few million less murders so it's an extreme example but those are the best kind of examples :P
Brand recognition is tricky business, it can do really good things when used correctly. For example, I will never forget Ben's website (poopinmymouth.com)
Great stuff keep posting dude!
Thank for the compliments on my work though
@NathanA - I will deff fix them badger hands.
here's todays speedy, inspired by a plague doctor.
i'm gonna work more on that cell shaded dude now.
Upside down cross is an awesome brand, HAIL SATAN!.....jk lol
fuck! totally forgot im on my GF computer hahah this is STRIKER BTW
I guess the crosses simply will get tiresome in the long run. Perhaps they could be implemented outside the focal point?
here is one for yourself, so you can live as your art does.
- bellaclava inverted cross with jewely blood drops - a must have!
is it worth to stay them there and not find some different symbol, that doesnt have such religious context behind?
@terra--striker - thanks bro!
@aimbiz - I agree that the crosses will become tiresome in the longrun, but I'm keeping em for now
@MicroNeezia - ahahaha that is an awesome baklava.
@Conte - yeah man you're right about the barrier, thing, seems like a few people seem to really dislike it. I did consider using a few other things (eye of horus, eye+pyramid from the american dollar, the egyptian ankh, aleister crowleys tree of life, the sigil of azazel, and a bunch of other stuff. But those are equally as...religious i guess. The cross thing will grow old though, and when it does I will switch to something else, perhaps a crown or a key or a fish. For now I will make it less prominent in my stuff
Again, thank you for the compliments on my stuff. I do plan on taking the plague doctor further, but I want to finish the badger and self portrait first. I worked a bit more on the cel shaded dude. here's a (Blender) render and the texture (half size)
here's some updates. Been trying to finish the badger, I started the retopo also.
todays speedy:
I played around with compositing zbrush passes too:
the recording's here - http://vimeo.com/19901367
lots more stuff soon!
Gotta fix the mohawk, tidy up the textures, and tweak the pose.
(I didnt get the idea for this, the original was by paul romano http://www.workhardened.com/project/3/The%20Acacia%20Strain/Dead%20Walk )
gotta finish the polypaint, give this guy a huge axe, and then retopo/texture everything.
No idea where i'm going with this, I know she's going to have an army helmet though.
I love how the pig came out, and i'm really glad you pointed out the concept because i was confused for a bit haha. My fav sculpt of yours as of late is the muscle guy without eyes, I seem to have a thing for creatures that don't have eyes in the normal spot...or at all
Trying to get his pose right
sidescroller game I started...
website layout wip.
latest sketch. I have to start doing these more often again.
pulling lots of inspiration from Killzone on this one
This is inspired by Ashley Wood. that guy is amazing.
nice job man Love your stuff bud
My only problem with your work is that in general everything looks squished ... like you're building everything from the front, and the side is an after-thought.
take your last creature head sculpt and overlay it on the reference and you'll see what i'm talkin about... it looks pretty close, but it's like you scaled him on the front to back axis.
Cool stuff otherwise
@nfrrtycmplx: After taking a close look, you're right. I think part of it is because I tend to forget to sculpt in perspective
here's a sculpt and a paintover I did tonight.
all wip stuff.
^ this is on a peice of wood that I found in my garage. I will get better pictures soon...
also my website is just about done, once it is i'm going to start one of those threads for site crits and such.
latest plague doctor, changed some small stuff mostly. still lots to do.
still stuff to do, but I want to finish up soon; so i can start the retopo
You may want to ask around about the t-shrit printing stuff. I know there are some people on Twitter like Missmonster, that might could point you in the right direction if you introduced yourself and asked politely.
http://bigcartel.com/ seems like a decent online storefront, too.
@duncan - thanks bro!
Are you 15 years old, or is a 2 page thread with a smattering of text too much for you to read?
@rickD - lawl, naw braw i'm 21.
here's the retopo
stayed up all night and finished it in around ten hours. (with a starcraft 2 break near the end
