Character: Ecthelion of The Fountain

[rage]

This is Ecthelion of the Fountain, an elven warrior from the city of Gondolin, im modelling this guy using some sketches made ffor me by Mates Laurentiu (Avatar) > THANKS MAN!
its another neverending progress thread, so be patient...hehe

i started with a box (as usual) and builded the proxy mesh extruding and sucha and then i started building edgeloops.

hope u like it!! later on ill be posting some more background on this character.

First the sketches:




and the char as it is now (wires for the next time):

well howdy there buddy,
As usuall the modelling looks very nice and although its just the start of the model the detail is of a really nice level. Though i tkae it your going to clothe him, so is that amount of detail nececery??? Still looks like one fine model. Nice drawings aswell to the artist.

[rage]

hehe, i was asking that myself....is that much detail necesary? i think its not, since almost no skin will be visible, (it will all be leather pants and boots, and armour)...the usual way would be to model the aproximation of the character structure, and the model the clothes over it...BUT everytime i see an artist model a character that will be full clothed i see thta he doies the same thing, first they model the character fully detailed, and then they dress him, although in this char for instance i guess i overexagerated the detail on the modelling, lets see how it keeps going...

cheers and thanks for pointing that out!!! it was ciruling my head but needed somebody else to say it!

PS: what happened with your proyect my man?

[wolfy]

You should at them before you draw them
you wouldnt find anyone with such a tiny ass.

maybe prince/ tafkap / tafkatafkap
te artist formally known as the artist formally known as prince

[rage]

first of all, the drawing isnt mine, its form AVATAR, and second, its a stylized character, im not going for hyperrealism here my man, and third, its an elven character, so imagination is about 80 percent of the work here...hehe
well, the point is, its a stylized char, its not a hyperreal char and stuff...so real anatomy proportions are off the scope.

cheer dude!

[rage]

here are some updates and the wires...
