I just recently finished this project. model This is a 3D creation of Darwin (5* version) from Madhead’s game Tower of Saviors.
Fully rigged and skinned. I left out some secondary accessories from the illustration since I just want to focus on the character style in this practice. This is a test I gave to myself trying to…
Hey man, before I give the critique let me just start by saying I'm going to go at this from a concept perspective and not an illustrative one. That being said though, you're missing a few things that are similar across both directions. Think of it as the art version of "nouns and verbs" that you would need whether or not…
Thats a tough act to follow heh Using filters is not evil, just don't abuse them. How you get to the good results doesn't matter, if you want to work on your digital painting thats great I strongly encourage that, but don't dismiss filters as a cheap hack. It's a tool just like all the other features in PhotoShop, used…
Should be, though it would add to the file size and Max might croak. Is the mesh already sculpted? If it has lower subdivision levels, it's easy enough to drop down and UV those. If the lower subdivision levels are really humble then you can even export it to another program to unwrap, and if it's still somewhat high, UV…
I should clarify that I provided you with information for my M4 but I forgot that what you're making is an M16A4. With the M16A4, there's very little variation done to the weapon outside of milspec; it's the m4 that gets all dolled up for the parties. What I mean by that is that the M16 only comes with a 20" barrel, a full…
I've noticed, I'm using Character Creator in the designing phase now, I'll show how in the next Dev Diary. I decided to combine my posts into DD's, make it easier to show stuff. DEV DIARY 1 : Art Style & Universe Lawrence is based off a concept I drew up earlier (called Project Aslan) for a dieselpunk World War I which…
@Adam - While I agree with you on all counts - everything you said being spot-on - I still think you're taking for-granted your own maturity, artistic maturity and otherwise. And this is great, but it's not something most beginning artists are capable of. They simply don't know. They don't know what their process is,…
Thank you for taking the time to record it as it will save time for everyone :) It is indeed a misunderstanding, mostly coming from using jargon too loosely. First off it's important to realize that the case of the previous artist (graphic flame pattern originating from the open edge of the helmet) is fundamentally…
hm well I wouldn't say writing follows art style it more like writing follows culture for better are worse Western Culture can't accept stylized anything the public can't at least you have to go to art circles for that . So you can easily write a different story from a Saturday morning cartoon you see it all the time in…
Hi Dr. Jekyll, > Tim Sweeny future where raw computing power makes all hack cleverness Mind you that raw computing power is not the same as size of memory :) In fact what's going on is that the cut-off point is gradually changing in favor of burning more ALU as opposed to memory consumption and data transfers. Anyway, back…
