Dominance War V - 3D - Rancor - Sathe

[Sathe]

Going against everything I've said entering this but I think it's time I make something a little more badass...
Gonna aim to catch up and if I have time will do the low poly.

Rancor- God of hate.

Awww look who decided to come play.

[Sathe]

Somebody here had to enter something with a couple of balls.......

[Bge]

hi Dude Keep it up!:dance::dance::dance:

[thefmilyofblood]

Hah! I knew you couldn't resist joining.

If this thing doesn't have the biggest testicles the world has ever seen, I'm going to castrate you with a rusty spork.

[Sathe]

You know those Discworld books and how the entire world rests on that turtles back?

Well in Rancor's universe the entire world rests on his testicles....

[washka]

Piew piew piew!

I knew it.
:haha: :haha: :haha:

[DaddyDoom]

Though you are an enormous ass, its good to see that you put your shenanigans aside and decided to join.

[washka]

Hmm, interesting start concept but I think there is a lack of clarity here and that can lead to misinterpretation, try again:

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I don't want this to turn into one of your other wip threads, so I'll just say, are you just teasing us.

I wont post any pictures to help with the question.

But I will say this, if you need any help, with modeling or lighting, don't hesitate to ask. That's what we are here for. We got your testicles.

[paulius-st]

looking good but for now it doesnt look so bad ass as it could. its face is too smooth fro such a evil character. but i believe it will end up as another of your great models :) .
good luck on this one :)

[Sathe]

Though you are an enormous ass, its good to see that you put your shenanigans aside and decided to join.

Mentally unstable is the correct word.

[RHedendahl]

So are you going to finish this one? :D

[hulahuga]

Looking good Sathe.

You should play more with the depth of it though, right now it looks more like a mask as the "face" is kind of smashed...

It is a mask/armor!

[Sathe]

Forgot to post this Yesterday.

3-4 hours into freestyling it now and I'm pretty happy, will find out how it fits with the proportions I'm cooking up tomorrow.

well....thats hardly cute and fluffy now is it.

[dhin]

well....thats hardly cute and fluffy now is it.

Well it is still a work in progress, give him time. It will have huge Anime eyes that sparkle and everything just for you. Sathe is a master at that kind of stuff.

:D

[hulahuga]

I had a feeling as such... :lame:

Now keep this up!

Got any concepts for the body yet?

[paulius-st]

looks good but imo horns need more detailing . will you do it all hard surface or you will give it some flesh?
looking forward for more :)

[tsabszy]

finally.. curious

[washka]

Cuuutte.
Some tracks: teeth++, secondary mid eyebrows, secondary side eyebrows (goind down from eye's external sides), cheekbones => dynamics.

Nice freestyle start, some samurai style feel onto da horns?

[Sathe]

A few hours in now and I'm almost at that point where I just want to go ****ing mental and power hard all weekend.

Looks like there would be a whole lot of detail and that won't be possible to count :). Good job. Keep coming.

[newhere]

Looking good as always...it's good to see you joined the war.

[paulius-st]

looking great. ceep it up.

[washka]

On profile render one, the eye is really really back (to the right).

[Tycane3D]

Very cool!...inspiring

Almost makes me feel like joining.

[Sathe]

Head was terribly designed. Trying something different, will see if it sticks.

[xxxcubanxxx]

Head is a bit too busy in my opinion...is like you were hyper when making this **** lol

side not it would be a pain to low poly this stuff :hurt:

[Sathe]

hahaha I will try and reduce some key areas where it's hard to understand shape but like usual, the Maxbois gotta compete with those douchy ZB artists somehow :P

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/8227/fausto006.jpg (http://img717.imageshack.us/i/fausto006.jpg/)

[thefmilyofblood]

those douchy ZB artists
Yeah, Zbrush artists are asses. Wait...

Great work as usual Sathe, though as Cuban said the head's a little complicated. However, I think it'll work, especially with colour added to it.

[Dim]

Some really solid hard surface stuff. Do you have any sort of overall concept?

[Sathe]

Absolutely none whatsoever.
Just crack this on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAmwq86mXlo all night
and go. I'm trying to push it past last time in terms of the curves and style.

[NeoGeo]

Nice i like it. What type of god is it. (God of epic hardsurface modeling...Skilzz) :p

[GregStrangis]

Wicked Sathe! Dope skills at play here, looking forward to see where it goes!

[Sathe]

Small update.
Changed the horns due to some feedback from my new workmate rafa. Problem horns?

Small finger tip on the bottom left too. Early Wip of the hand to come next.

[tyrant monkey]

Wow that's amazing. Regarding the horns, I kinda of think the first horns you had were working better. You sort of used a similar shape on his top eyelid and the two shapes were reinforcing each other nicely.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

will he be able to turn his head, with his horns like that.

I'm thinking, horns should flow down his back, like hair.

[washka]

Prefer new horns, dig that.
[Edit]
Hope you won't mind the quick lazy (copy paste) paintover, other vision, other ideas, tracks for you:

[Krypton]

new horns are definitely a step in the right direction, the old horns made him look a bit like a rabbit

[J.B.]

yeah whaska horns are better, great job so far, as always :)

[aby arty]

wee!!
welcome back Grant sir.

love the design.

@horns : first ones actually looked like bat ears. current ones are good but most evil have it that way. try making them upwards only but straight ,like you would turn a direction star on a compass to make it look like an X.

or a better idead could be to just leave discs on his head and make floating horns that are controlled by the discs through electromagnetic force. and these horns he can easily change acc to his mood.

@eyes; red bace is nice ,but please give him a vertical tooth shaped pupil in the centre maybe a black with fiery yellow fill wud do.

and yeah if possible give him lava drool !! :evil:

[Sathe]

Thanks for the constructive feedback, I'ts given me some ideas.
I will come back to the head once I've thought how to tackle the horns completely.

**** me these hands are hard to design as I'm going, they've already gone through alot of change but hopefully I can call them done soon.

[paulius-st]

as allways looking great. as for horns maybe something like this (http://www.google.lt/imgres?imgurl=http://www.swosuauction.com/images/horns.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.swosuauction.com/Sheds_and_Horns.html&usg=__w-pZtW2QPtNJxJzkzj5SRmwoMXg=&h=2010&w=2010&sz=2788&hl=lt&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=lZjWgHl7XSZmRM:&tbnh=140&tbnw=157&ei=f5-uTYqZOo-MswbB_YnYDA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhorns%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dlt%26client%3Df irefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1360%26bih%3D575%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=310&vpy=243&dur=800&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=155&ty=185&oei=f5-uTYqZOo-MswbB_YnYDA&page=1&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:16,s:0) will give you some thoughts . if placed rigt they would look super bad a55 and wit your modeling skills and imagination i think it would be mind blowing :) . good luck and ceep it up :)

[hulahuga]

You should take a look at the old Japanese designs and armors, that's at least what I think of every time I see your model... Look at the facial masks, the different armor sets and everything, it would fit quite nicely :)

[Sathe]

When I was modeling smoke I actually had alot of that stuff up but for D-War I try to have zero reference so it's only me, it's more fun that way I guess, but I do get what you are saying from memory.
Edit: Thanks Paulis, I will give it a go

[Sathe]

Gauntlet tomorrow....

[hulahuga]

Kk, I can understand that :)

Gauntlet looks killer! Don't go too far with the underlying stuff though as that won't show on the normal map...

[Sathe]

Who gives a **** about normal maps haha

[hulahuga]

DW judges.... ;P But if you just want to showcase a cool high poly then I guess that is spot on!

[paulius-st]

Who gives a **** about normal maps haha
high poly rules :)

[TMNI VISION]

can those fingers curl or bend? cause looks like they don't have any joint. anyways looks good. Keep it up :)

[Sathe]

They are functional in a sense a turtle is at running :dance:

but I will refine it so they can work better. some pieces are separate that need to merge as one and it's making them look overcomplicated, almost transformers like hurrrrrrr

[washka]

Great hand design so far, keep it up!

[drained spirit]

your wip is so inspiring to say the least. Are you using only Zbrush? how do you get such beautiful ornate sculpts. Maybe, you can post a tutorial somewhere...great going!! :)

[thefmilyofblood]

Are you using only Zbrush?

Did you just ask Sathe that? Really?

[Sathe]

..........................Was we just be trolled?

[poopipe]

grant can't use zbrush because he's not awesome enough


:p


anyways - blah, lovely high poly, blah, technically awesome and so on, blah etc. - you know that already.. .

I need to see how this is going to hang together as a whole before I decide whether I like it or not.

No offence like but I found Mauro a touch generic/dull as a character and I'm concerned you're going to end up in a similar situation with this chap - I'm struggling to find a hook if you get me.

so yeah, that.

how long is there left? I'm wondering whether I might be able to knock one out after all...

[Sathe]

Don't critique me, it makes me feel bad ok! :(
Nobody should have to get critique so I hope you take back the nasty things you said!

:dance:

Not long. A bit over 4 weeks maybe? I dno, No idea really Just smashing some hardstuff out.

[hulahuga]

Don't critique me, it makes me feel bad ok! :(

*Criticize...




You were just trolled from a country home in the south eastern bit of nowhere aka my countryhome in Sweden :evil:

[poopipe]

Sweet, I found his weak spot :p

Now, do I commit myself to making a naked,pregnant deer/tree lady with antlers or carry in learning to make environments like I'm supposed to be doing?

[hulahuga]

Why don't you make the character an environment?

[DaddyDoom]

That implies a mid-term commitment to a project.

[MonteCristo]

Nice work so far mate. Don't f*** it up.

[capitan_popo]

loooking good so far!!!...am glad to see you finally joined in!:evil:
