Comp 23 **(UnDead Rock Star)** Comp 23

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Low Poly Mini Contest #23

Subject – UnDead Rock Star
ALL WIPS AND CONCEPTS ARE TO BE KEPT IN THIS THREAD.

IDEA:

There are many ways you can go about this one, some ideas are 1) You can look at it as a tribute to a fallen musician, by modeling a musician that has died 2) You could model your favorite musician that is alive and Zombiefy them. 3) You can skip the whole dead part and just create the ultimate Rock Star/Rap Star/County Music Star. 4) You can stick with the whole dead theme and create the ultimate UnDead Rock Star/Rap Star/Country Star.

The only requirement that will be set in stone is that your end product needs to represent music in some way shape or form.

Have Fun!

Judging: 3 categories of judging will apply. 10 points possible for each:

Concept - How well your idea fits the topic
Model – How well the geometry is structured, how well it looks like the subject.
Texture – How well the texture space has been used, and how well the texture is painted/applied.

DUE DATE: July 27th, 5 weeks and a few days from today! 11:59 pm GMT - SUNDAY

Idea:

Model an Undead Singer of some sort, they can be alive, or dead and they need to play an instrument. You have 8,000 Tris, use them as you see fit.

Poly limit:

8,000 Tris Total. You can do whatever you want with these, just don’t get carried away and don’t exceed the 8,000 Tri Limit. Remember, the limit tells you where to stop, there is no minimum, so use as much of the limit as you see fit.

Textures:
(2) 1024 x 1024 texture. This means (2) 1024 for color, (2) 1024 for bump, (2) 1024 for normal, (2) 1024 opacity, so on and so forth. You can chop it up into whatever you want, but you still need to go all out in your texture.

Textures can be hand-painted or you can use photographic sources. Do what you do.

I'm thinking about doing a tribute to Mr. Dimebag himself. I'm definately looking forward to this challenge. It will be my first one. I just hope I don't butcher it too bad and upset the metal gods....

[TonyClifton]

\m/ SWEET! \m/

\m/ Dimebag \m/

Blackmetal fans could do a zombie Euronymous. That one really fits the subject, as his looks, beliefs and the circumstances of his death make him the perfect candidate. If you wanna know more about this guy, just google "Euronymous Mayhem". Funny dude...

could I just make a rap star thats not dead?

[defaultalias]

Might use this as an excuse to finally normal map something. Ideas I'm tossing around include a zombie bongo player and a gothed out cellist, which one is cooler?

[obibok]

ill go with something classic ....



by the way does rob zombie counts as undead?

I was just thinking the same. Or more like:
1. Rob Zombie
2. Zombification
3. ???
4. Profit!

I wonder what would happen.
As my real character, I'm planning a something trollish, as I like folk metal. (Finntroll \,,/)

[DaddyDoom]

Finntroll nice.
Finland has been a huge crest of amazing extreme metal bands. Do you know Shape Of Despair? Good D00M!

Great idea!!! I was just thinking of a german band (MAD SIN), that has Hellvis as an opener for the show......looking forward to see that one, lordpisang!

[defaultalias]

lol at Rob Zombie. kind of a paradox with him, heh.

quick crap before bed.

[TonyClifton]

DaddyDoom, are you going to model yourself as an undead?

[omnicypher]

im thinking of making a decayed beyond recognition zombie, so i dont think it will be anyone specifically, but i might change that as i go. i might end up making an undead slash. 8000 tris is enough to make a full skeleton so i might start there. as a bonus i also get a skeleton warrior out of this, which could prove usefull for other projects.
