Mar 2008 - SUPER Stylised Challenge!: 'Executioner'

[Lynette-3dt]

hey hey hey strict9, i wasn't the one who said you had to make it that obvious, cheeky! i said you were along the right lines with your first WIP - have a look back! but, actually, i love the little book touch... you could perhaps try it without though as well, just to see if the concept still works without "spelling it out" for us...? just a thought! i think it's looking great anyway!

i'm afraid i don't know about the free render software... can anyone help strict9 by recommending a free render software?

DC5kid - finally, some girl power - woohoo!! hehehe. it looks great; can't wait to see it in 3d!

chubu - i like the expression of your character a lot! can't wait to see him posed in a scene.

don't forget to enoy your weekends!! keep up the great work.

i think i know what you mean... i am not happy with the head, i'll start moving vertices soon
and cmon man, im not that good

hehe, don't worry; Warin still helps out in the challenges and on the forums!!

i'm pretty sure there won't be any problems painting shadows in in the post-production stage, if that's what you mean...?

I have started by thinking of the set first. So this is just a conceptual sketch as I have had several ideas how to go about this challenge. All had very different character concepts and ranging from animal to children to humanoid to business giants like the one thats software installer needs to .EXEcute no second guesses on what probs may come from that.

So I will go the traditional route like the others here. Any comments or crits please.



O.k. well here is a design for my character to be. Simply, he is a new age sensitive executioner who wants to make the experience delightful for all his would be guests...



Now I had better start modeling.

P.s. to the mods. Is it possible to have more than one entry, say for example a sequence of a story, or, series of characters? I need to read the rules again I know, just thought I would ask.

For instance I was also thinking of doing one of my 1 year old who I caught ripping the legs off a cicada's shell which gave me the following idea.

Lovely character Chubu! I would make those eyelids darkblue or purple, to make his eyes stand out more and to give him that unsatisfied tired look?

draleto: awesome concept sketch, can't wait to see how this fella will look in 3D

[chubu]

ok here is an update:
i did some changes in the mask such as pull out a nose and etc.
played more with the texture, add glossines to the eyes and more
also build the axe, pretty happy with it, maybe play with the texture more...

still have some unknown errors such as the white scratch on the axe handle and the dirt on the charecter knee, altough that last one i kinda like

crits are welcome.

Here is a quick concept of what I am planing for my Executioner character. I still don't have an idea for the scene yet.

[Hypnogiraffe]

Need some nooby help, In maya when I mirror geometry I can't get it to mirror the right way, I've tried every axis of mirroring but it always comes out so that his hand is connectedc to his other hand if you see what I mean

[oukruk]

sounds like you just have the pivot at the hand... have the mesh selected in "object mode" (ie: not vert or edge etc) and hold down D and V and you will be able to snap the pivot point to the middile of your mesh.
(D = move pivot, V = snap)

[draleto]

this is may progres...

Pretty awesome Daddydoom. Is he saying "bring it" with his other hand or is he gonna be holding something?
