[Tarik2d]

Drawing up some ideas now will post some up later on

[Cordero]

Hi Tarik!
Its nice to see you join! I hope you will do as awesome stuff as you did in the previous challenge. If that makes sense :D

I'm looking forward on your ideas man!
Good luck.

[bakuryu06]

Hrmm, being muslim and all i am interested in what you will come up with bro.

[Tarik2d]

Cheers, Ive got ideas down but need to peice it all together so it works

[Tarik2d]

Currently retopolgising one of my characters, once Ive got him all done I'll post him followed by the main character.

[Tarik2d]

Here is a small update with my creature, He need more detail but its the general shape. Crits welcome (always looking to improve).

[MightyReg]

Cool concept and sculpt, and what will this creature do? Is it some kind of God?

[Tarik2d]

Thanks, no this is the sacrifice. After I get this done, I'll finish up the other characters

[Stoneking]

Hey Tarik, looking good and clean, great design

Cheers

[Edragon]

that's one hell of a guard dog ;) wicked design.

[Tarik2d]

Cheers guys, Hopefully get all of the detail on him by the end of the weekend then I can post another image again

[xxxcubanxxx]

looking good Tarik, keep it up.

[Tarik2d]

Thanks cuban. Can't wait to model my other character, that's going to be my biggest modeling challenge yet

[wargrafix]

Wow! That is most cool. You got alot of talent there. Will he be led by chains?

Best luck!

[Tarik2d]

thanks for all the comments guys. Nice to hear

[Tarik2d]

Here is an update on the creature. Been working on the other character which Hopefully I will get done soon

This guy isnt finished btw, but crits are always welcome

[throne]

Nice creature design, but if he is the Sacrifice, i suggest you put him down and tide his formarms and feet, and make like sleeping on his side with somewhat anger on his face.

Waiting to see more :P

[Stoneking]

Hey Tarik,
Great up,
Looking much better, specially the Hands-Feet and the head details
Cheers

[MightyReg]

Looks great, and with the white painted parts sculpted I am sure it will be awesome. Can't wait to see the other characters!

[Tarik2d]

throne - thanks for the thoughts. I'm thinking I will have him interacting with the other characters so I'll see where that takes me then get you an update.

Stoneking - thanks, Still got to detail him up more but wanted a brake from him so started one of the other characters.

MightyReg - cheers, Hopefully have the other one finished by the end of the week

[chunkymunky]

Looking really good so far, looking forward to updates :)

[washka]

Care with roundness of the feets. Nice concept, keep it up man!

[xxxcubanxxx]

Love the head design

[Tarik2d]

chunkymonkey - thanks

washka - Thanks. What do you mean about his feet, sorry dont understand? cheers

xxxcubanxxx - thanks, thats what ive done most work on so far

[Tarik2d]

Here is one of the other character that will be in the final scene. She is going to be all armoured up which I am on with the moment. Crits welcome.

[throne]

proportions looking good...
BTW, are you going for a sculpted scene or you will texture and render in external package ?

[Tarik2d]

Will be rendering in vray in max

[Seale]

Keep it up! Liking it so far!

[Stoneking]

Great idea to have a female Tarik,
Love her design so far
Cheers

[Tarik2d]

Cheers guys, hopefully will get her done by the end week actually, Ive decided to add more to her :s lol

[Cordero]

I'm copy + pasting them boots on my character:D Everything you have posted looks really promising.
do you have any specific idea on the composition of the final image?

[Tarik2d]

Lol what boots, was that meant for me?

[Cordero]

Well, it was supposed to be boobs :D sorry for that:D

[paulius-st]

good progres so far. realy like the work you've done so far :) . good luck

[Tarik2d]

Arh okay lol. I thought maybe my character had gone wrong when the top half of her body looked like a pair of boots lol. But thanks :) hopefully ull like the next update too.
Thanks paulius glad u like it, I'm going for the science fiction scene.

Final image wise not 100% sure, got a rough idea but need to research into the details

[hulahuga]

The overpaint somehow reminds me a bit of a Spore's style... Will be cool to see how you pull this together :)

[andrewhall1234]

Great work, the character designs seem really nice. This will be intriguing to see the next updates

[Tarik2d]

hulahuga - whats spore's style? Cheers,

andrewhall1234 - thanks, I dont think it will disapoint :)

[wargrafix]

sweet! Looking forward to the progress.

[hulahuga]

[Cordero]

It's a little bit off topic, but congrats on the first place at Coming of ice challenge!
What was that about you don't get a lot of love from here? :D

Anyway, congrats, and show us some updates already!

[Tarik2d]

Cheers

[Tarik2d]

cheers stoneking

[NeoGeo]

it's looking awesome man. I see she has no legs is she going to walk around in some type of mech armour ?

[Tarik2d]

Thank you :) she has legs but yeah Ive drawn some concepts showing armour robot legs but still not sure about it it so going to take a look at it when I get her in the scene

[Tarik2d]

This is the scene I am going to go for, just blocking it up now. The character poses arent done on this image

Crits would be more than welcome on this one

Cheers

[Tarik2d]

Anyone got any crits? Having trouble with the background. Cheers

[chris_solo]

Hi Tarik! :)
I like it, except that I saw a scene of 3 / 4 rather than face...

[Stoneking]

Hey Tarik,
I like it a Lot, looks great the idea,
i agree that changing the camera angle maybe can
make it more interresting, and also when you pose the
characters it will be easier to decide the camera,
Very promising this scene, keep it comming
Cheers!

[Tarik2d]

Thanks Chris and Stone, I'll carry on with this theme then.

Yeah the view on that was bc Im not very good at drawing in photoshop and thought drawing it straight on was going to be faster for me :)

Im unwrapping the model so hopefully get to pose them soon

[hulahuga]

You got nice characters and everything, just find nice poses and a nice camera angle. You could also play with a bit with the lightning to get a more dramatic scene.
By doing the said things you can also define what is in focus, or it will look like an overview...

Good points you made, cheers :) I might try light it in mental ray instead of vray like i normally work in.

[hulahuga]

Cheers :)

Now go give us a nice test render ;)

[Tarik2d]

What do you think to this? She is going to be draggin him along. Just a quick pose to see how it looks for now.

Cheers

Tarik

[chris_solo]

It's better, I like it! keep it up ^^

[Tarik2d]

Cheers Chris, Just doing some more unwrapping. Looking forward to getting some texturing going :)

[hulahuga]

Make sure to make a nice pose with that monsterhand :D. Also try to make her look like she is carrying some weight ;).

[Tarik2d]

All crits welcome.

Tried some texturing and rendering today, been messing around with vray and mental ray. Trying to go for the moody scene but with enough light to make out the environment.

Does this image look more blue or orange to you? It should look more orange and warm.

Cheers

[Stoneking]

Man, i can only say iThis is going really awesome!
She Looks wonderfull,
Again, this female is just WOW!
Love her,
Am i been repetitive? LOL
Cheers

[wargrafix]

[Mr.fE]

[Tarik2d]

great work man! way to go!!!

Cheers :)

[gauravcg]

im just loving your scene....!

[chris_solo]

great, great, great!!!!!!!! keep it up Tarik!

[Tarik2d]

Thanks gauravcg & Chris. Just doing some more texturing then thats me done till monday when i can get some more done.

[animationutz]

good work. love the models. just an idea for the background, you said u got the idea loosely from a skag... well the style of your characters deff look like the deserve to be in some sort of post apacolyptic scenario, or DOOM. lol. Good work keep it up, cant wait to see the finished piece

[Tarik2d]

Cheers, Na i didnt get the idea from a skag someone else said it looked like that, i had to google it the other day to find out what it was :)

Thanks :) going to do the background after i get the characters done

[Tarik2d]

Can't get anymore done now till Monday so I'm hoping I can get it all done in time. The story has changed a bit now. She is seriously bad ass.

[hulahuga]

Right now I'd say it looks really nice :).

That metal looks excellent!

[washka]

Wow some nice stuff here, awesome. Congrats!
But something is bothering me I see some doom/apocalyptic/futuristic side one, I can see some offering concept: the creature has been captured, but can't see any goddish one. My question is: How are you gonna do to introduce it? I'm quite curious. :D
Like the gauntlet's design, and your girl (she's got some nice boots), care the integration of the gauntlet with the body it's a bit floating on the air/no attachment structure.
Keep the effort man, I'm waiting for your final.

[Tarik2d]

That's good,everything u have just mentioned that you aren't sure about I have changed. I will try to post a quick explanation and WIP image.

[Tarik2d]

Right here is a update from a few days ago but had chance to get on with it.

Just texturing the monster in the background that is stuck to the wall. I'll explain the story later, sorry not much time

[Sinistral]

I am always in awe of anyone who can put work like this in 3d. Great image but... I can't keep looking at the device around her waist/hips. Not sure what it is and it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the outfit. REalsie it is abit late to do anything about it, but perhaps an explanation?

[xxxcubanxxx]

Keep going punk, no time to waste.

[Tarik2d]

It is set in the future where the gift to the gods is to fight before them similar to what the greeks did in Rome with the colosseum to appease the Gods for her races fight for conquest

[Tarik2d]

Keep going punk, no time to waste.

lol, im going, hopefully get it all done tomorrow but its going to be tight. going to take the finished image with me for a job interview if i get it done intime

[MightyReg]

The woman looks great, hope you'll get that done in time! And good luck for that job interview!

[wargrafix]

nice piece! Would be cool as a UT3 model.

GIFT TO THE GODS -

As in the Colosseum of old, in order to appease the Gods she fights, not only for her life, but for the chance to be granted the power of prophecy, which only young female warriors are eligible for.

[MightyReg]
