Cordero - The Slayer - Sunburst

[Cordero]

hey guys!

i read about this challenge at the start, but i couldn't join at that moment because of work:S
One thing i was sure about, that the character's name will be Sunburst. I've always wanted to do a guy with this name:D The main idea is that the guy's body is some kind of ligh source, not even a solid thing. And this cloudy light is held together by floating armor pieces on top of the "skin". The color theme is yellow/orange/red mainly:D

So i started concepting, which is my weakest "skill" at the moment, but i can say, that this piece is better then the previous one, so.. i guess i'm good with it:D

i think its pretty plain at the moment. i want to spend this day on concepting, but i should start tomorrow with the model.

let me know what you think!

[Cordero]

Well, i guess i forgot to give him some equipment.. i knew that something is missing..

will post updates soon

[Cordero]

I changed the gun into a one haned sword, and i think it works better this way:D

i'll do some kind of backpack for him from floating armor pieces, but i think it will be empty, because i thought about it, and this guy is like a pure energy, and he only need some kind of a weapon :)

i will start modeling tomorrow!

[Cordero]

Well, thats what i've got so far.
I guess the concept is not detailed enough, coz its impossibly boring now.
So i have decided to do some major changes on the model. I still have a lot of time, and i think i will be able to finish... if i don't sleep tonight:))

i will change the chest piece, the bracer, and some other parts on the back side of the character. I will also do the helmet, but i'll add some detail there too. i hope i'll manage to do the uvw map without freaking out:D

So far, its a great experience! I hope everyone will be able to finish this challenge!

will you be able to get this done in time.

[Cordero]

i think i can finish this.

i will post an update on the model very soon.

[Cordero]

As promised, little update on the armors. I think this works better than the previous one..:D

Next thing is the helmet, and some minor changes on the weapon.
After that i think i'll start the uvw map.

5,629 tris so far

[Cordero]

I guess thats it! The final model, 6,333 tris. I must move one to the uvw to finish this, but i think its pretty close to what i should have drawn on the concept art :D
I changed the sword in to a two handed one, because its better this way i think.

Its already worth joining in, because of the experiences gained so far. I really should pay a lot more attention to concept.

So i've got the favourite part in front of me, the UVW mapping.

What do you guys think about the final model?

[Cordero]

Well, i forgot to tell you, that i'm done with uvw, and i think i will make it!

I hope everyone will finish their entry!

Good luck to you all:)

[Cordero]

Hey guys!

Finally, i decided not to post my final entry, because, of course its not complete, and its not the way i wanted it to be.

Next time:
- i will start in time :)
- i will draw a better concept, so i could stick to something, which looks cool

I think thats it, see you next time!
