#26(b) The Haunted - Character

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Low Poly Mini Contest #26a
Subject – The Haunted - Character
ALL WIPS AND CONCEPTS ARE TO BE KEPT IN THIS THREAD.

With Halloween right around most people’s corner, it’s time we got dark, dirty, ****** and scary. Your job, if you so choose, is to create a Halloween themed character. This character can be from any timeline, past, present or future, it can be real, or fake, cartoon based, or movie based. If you want to make this fan art for a scary movie character that gave/gives you nightmares, go right ahead. If you want to be a bit more creative and create your own scary character, please do so. Style is up to you, this means, if you want to go the way for nightmare before Christmas, you can. You could even go the Disney way if you like. One major restriction, I want to see blood, but we don't always get what we want.

Have Fun!

Judging: We will be trying out a different judging method this time, you will pick what you believe is the top 3 entries. First place gets 3 points, 2nd place 2 points, 3rd place 1 point. The person with the most points when the voting is over, wins.


DUE DATE: November 23rd, 5 weeks and a few days from today! 11:59 pm GMT - SUNDAY

Idea:
Make a scary Halloween based character. It can be from TV, cartoons, movies, or your mind (that’s scary). Most have blood, or not.

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. If you create a pedestal, there is no tri limit

Textures:
2048 x 2048 texture. This means 2048 for color, 2048for bump, 2048 for normal, 2048 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.

Pedestals/Stands:
You do not have to create one, but if you do, understand that there is no texture or tri limit. You can go as crazy as you want, or keep it as basic as possible.

Half of me wants to do a pratchett witch like josh kirby, half of me wants to do what big toe says and the other half wants to bring that gorgon concept from dom-war back to life.

[mies]

I think I'll model some kind of a Death character with a pumpkin head and a scythe. Not very original but maybe I'll come up with something cool. Concept will follow.
