I am an idiot.

Pfft.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT, I say! You know I worked my last two weeks at Digital Embryo before caving to my failing kidneys legally BLIND! I'm 100% serious - I animated purely on the fact that Maya has a VERY RECOGNIZABLE gizmo and I had roughly remembered the UI, admist a sea of blur. If I could do that, you can light your model with a puffy, swollen face=)

...

Man, I miss work.

Anyway, what you have here is looking fantastic, sir. The water came out well enough, and the lighting is pretty much what I had in mind. It fits your model and it provides some nice ambience. Rock rock on!

Now that that has had time to sink in, thank you to all of you that gave me some great suggestions and feedback, everyone's a hero. Like you, and you, and mostly me, and you... but seriously, thanks.

Special Thanks to BiG ToE, Vinsanity, Warlock, and Withalboy. For the great suggestions that made this crazy ass design that much crazier.

Congratulations on finishing up, the final entry looks great. Doing two characters is very challenging, but you pulled it off well.

Darbruce · 18-05-2009, 04:17 AM

@ Puckducker - hey thanks man, it's definitely not something I'll want to do again next year, prolly hurt my chances of winning with the super low poly characters compared to others already submitted. Plus I need the practice on higher poly, my highest is only 6K.

Warlock 279 · 18-05-2009, 04:43 AM

Turned out pretty sweet. I'm really liking the shot with his hand on the pet, shows a nice interaction between the two. Don't really have any crits, its pretty well executed all around.

S'pose if I wanted to nitpick, I might suggest that the blood is a bit too bright, I'd think a deeper red would look better, and a little more splatter on the blade wouldn't hurt. I do think, with the tweaks you made and the the addition of the blood tho, that weapon is reading much better, to me at least.

You're more than welcome, I'm glad I could be of any help I could.

Yeah, splitting the budget is a rough thing to do, that's a road I've gone down too many times myself. You did well tho, and neither is showing any horrific faceting that I'm seeing.

You've never done a single character over 6k??? Guess we'll look forward to seeing you over in the 3DT LowPoly mini challenges once War is all wrapped up then.

[Says the person, who's only completing his second [maybe third] 6k+ character]

Darbruce · 18-05-2009, 06:58 AM

@ Warlock - haha, I know it's a bit sad, but I was taught old-school modeling (pre zbrush and mudbox) when i was in classes it Pitts. and that usually meant using max 6 and photoshop CS. painting verts on high polys straight into max? fun times. only recently did i even touch mudbox, and never bothered with Zbrush 'til like last week when mudbox decided to not work for this. i think my highest may have been right around 6200, but could have been much lower, average is around 4-5K.

I've already begun theme-pitching over in the low poly section, so JOIN US!

also, I may post some older stuff to show you guys crazy is as crazy makes. for kicks.

JuST · 18-05-2009, 02:43 PM

It turned out really great! These guys look just crazy. You really nailed your concept.
Congrats on finishing!

Darbruce · 18-05-2009, 05:38 PM

thanks man, you'll soon find out that I do lots of crazy

Darbruce · 21-05-2009, 05:22 AM

ok, not all of these are thaaat crazy, but i promised, good sirs! i promised. other than that, they pretty much speak for themselves. this is why i am in the business.

side note, Vinsane, you had best be in the nexy low poly challenge, even though you have plenty of Deep Sea to concept.
