cw · July 21st, 2007, 03:01 PM

okay! SOME MORE PROGRESS IN DESIGNING THIS CHARACTER -

this will be the one i think - i'll post the 3d when its done

cw · July 23rd, 2007, 05:54 PM

3d beginnings - long way to go yet though-

cw · July 25th, 2007, 02:45 AM

bit more work on this guy in 3d-

cw · July 25th, 2007, 06:38 PM

some more

**invinciblewombat** · July 29th, 2007, 09:05 PM

that warrior project is looking awesome, it's really great to see all the in-between work and progress shots as well instead of just the pretty final render, thanks for sharing your process a lot can be learned from it.

**jedininjaman** · July 29th, 2007, 09:18 PM

wow looks really cool! I like seeing the step by step process
IN the non 3D one titled Druss, his arms seem a little short, but in the 3D one that is not a problem and it looks a lot better, very sweet

it would be cool if you would post in my Sketchbook, but meanwhile I will follow this thread some more
Keep it up I am looking forward to the finished one

**Chance.** · July 30th, 2007, 12:53 PM

It has been WAY too long since I was in here! You are amazing. The process for this character design is so inspiring! You make me want to go off and do the same thing (minus the 3d stuff cause I just don't have skills)

Man that is cool. And your painting is fascinating too. Is that the men in black grilling that alien?

Sorry for no crits, but you are way out of my league with what you are doing right now.

cw · July 30th, 2007, 04:35 PM

whoo comments.

hello chaps.

@wombat: thanks, yeah i could give more inbetweens, but haven't. It's been quite fun. The 3d part that I'm on at the moment is a bit boring me now though, the fun bit has been done.

I must persevere!

@jedininjaman: hello there, you're bang on about the arm length, i have already fixed that in the 3d as you spotted. Dunno why that happpened, but hey ho.

I'll pay closer attention next time.

I posted in ur book, some nice stuff there I'll say. good effort!

@Q-Caddlewick: Hi there, yeah its the MIBs doing the bad thing to some ETs. It was from a dsg called "alien bbq" so i took a slightly warped point of view on it.

Cheers for the nice comments, but I don't think there are leagues really, just everyone trying to have fun and create cool stuff. If you can look at ur SB every 3-6 months and see a difference, it can't be wrong.

Cheers guys! Gonna be busy with work this week, so not sure how much I can get done, but watch this space..

cw · August 7th, 2007, 02:58 AM

finished that 3d thing in the end -

**fionkell** · August 11th, 2007, 07:17 AM

Oh, just fantasmic. Jesus. I really don't know how I can offer anything here, so just keep up that amazing progress!

**Wake101** · August 12th, 2007, 05:16 PM

wow man, the warrior model is cool. Great to see the progress on that. Keep posting amazing stuff dude.

**m0uS3r** · August 12th, 2007, 06:00 PM

**Smarty** · August 12th, 2007, 06:26 PM

solid concepts and good 3d as far as i can tell (not really into 3d). Great to see your full progress on it.

cw · August 31st, 2007, 06:09 AM

something made me want to try to do more zbruush, it will help me at work and its fun too.

quick 1/2 hour head sculpt

cw · August 31st, 2007, 06:24 AM

some cute monster rough for a compo i might try to do.

have been up since 3 am til now with stomach cramps so it might not be any good but my mind is not working properly right now.

**Smarty** · August 31st, 2007, 06:32 AM

wow really awesome 3d, not really my thing but it looks great!

I like the lil dragon aswell, maybe to many specular highlights but its very good. Kepp it up

**MacTire** · August 31st, 2007, 07:47 AM

Amazing zbrush work you have here!
Those sketches show great development of this character.

cw · September 9th, 2007, 03:22 PM

started going back to do more zbrush when i get the odd spare 1/2 hour -

we'll get there eventually,

another quickie, playing with adding other components like teeth etc. quite nice system when you get used to it..

**Radio24** · September 9th, 2007, 03:34 PM

nice zbrush stuff!!! I've been wanting to play around with zbrush, but i can't find any trial downloads, and can't drop the green on it. Nice work though, keep it up, looks like fun

cw · October 6th, 2007, 04:50 PM

couple of dsg and whatnot

crappy one (first after a while of not doing any - i consider it a warm up then? right?)

bit more fun topic:

You get these real great bright areas in there, do you use a layer setting for that or something?

Oh and btw

I AM THE GREAT LEON

cw · October 6th, 2007, 08:05 PM

just white pixels.

fake bloom effect by overlay/soft light a copy of image with gaussian blur, play with levels.

that is all.

**Jakers** · October 6th, 2007, 08:46 PM

Cool 3D character

Is he going in an engine for your project or anything? I think there could be more texturing details, like some dirt and wear so he doesnt look quite so clean, and Im not huge on the axe design, but those are all the negatives I got - good costume exploration. 3DSmax is nice for normal maps hey.

cw · October 7th, 2007, 09:07 AM

want to try to get better at feeling lighting and creating interesting scenery, so im going to do some 15-20 minute studies from photos to get a few bits of visual vocabulary before i begin

i had forgotten that observational excercises are eye-tiring¬!

**TheGnoll** · October 7th, 2007, 12:39 PM

very nice work in here

the digi paints looks very good, i like the inflatable mech one.
The progress on the old warrior was very interesting, and it shows you've got an excellent design porces (altho the variations aren't too differen from one another)

cool stuff, keep sharing!

ciao
