Haha Koldlt, my thumb goes a bit backwards too, but I think he meant thumbs in general, and I'm going for a general anatomy. :) Thanks for the compliment! Here's a small update. Mainly been working on the face. Trying to make it look less manga-like.
Ignore what I said about putting Link on the shelf. I'm gonna complete this f*er this week, otherwise I know I won't ever do it. Bash my freakin' head in with crits so I can get his face at least _acceptable_!
demilich: Thank you very much for the kind words! :) I totally agree about the face, and that's the reason I put Link on the shelf for now while I do some facial studies and practise sculpting. bretmcnee: Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :) Mike 5424: Thank you! :)
Hey Disting here is a handpainting tutorial for faces that I often refer to. It helped make my skin textures a lot more lifelike http://www.pig-brain.com/tut01/tut01_01.htm I hope it helps when you pick Link back up. resculpting will help too. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Honkypunch! I'm glad you like the hair. I'm happy with how it turned out as well. :) And about the face and eyes I actually think I'm happy with those as well.. I've really done my best with it now. I really need to start texturing his fingers now and then re-skin and pose him.
Alright. After putting Link on the shelf for a bit while I study faces, I started modeling the hookshot. About 15 minutes ago. I'm thinking about maybe making it quite different from the original one, but I really like the original, so maybe not. I've rotated the hand guard on the screenshot just to present it better.…
That's exactly what part of the problem is I think, it's just making the eyes so unusual and unsettling. Right now your eyes on his face (from a side view) are sitting like this /....flatten them out more to go with his head to they are like this |.....nevermind paintover time ok here we go As you see in this image, you…
Really nice! I think the nose is fine, it is a bit thin but the face suits it. as far as tri count, this guy would def be a main character in game so like blvd nights says, 15-20k would be high but very acceptable. I would personally just ignore tri counts while building the initial low and do enough to make it look good,…
Thank you! :) Thanks for letting me know! I was planning on faking some subsurface scattering by making them more red in the thinner parts etc. So far I haven't been working too much on the face and fingers though. Haha, I'm sorry! x) Thanks! Glad you like it! And I'm very happy to hear that you like the hair! Took me…
Yeah, absolutely! I really don't hope it seems like I'm ignoring the crits I get! I'm just really, really stumped because faces is what I fail at most. That and hands. I've spent the last 2-3 days trying to get it right.. Been retexturing, remodeling and I still can't make it look good! That's why I deleted the last…
