Gift to the Gods - The Earth God - MightyReg

[MightyReg]

Hey washka, thanks for the tips!
In my first sketch I tought of giving him a belt, maybe if things goes well I will do one. And I will give him a pose for sure as I said before
2D would be nice, but unfortunately my drawing skills are not extraordinary, I will sculpt the fur directly on Zbrush.
For sure I will add specular when I render in Maya, I attached an image of the type of render I want, with the type of fur I also want (probably stronger than that). Maybe you will understand more what direction I am taking. It's a render from my abominable snowman of last month, that I did before this month.

OK back to work on my model!

I'm really liking it so far. Textured will be even better

[washka]

Yeah I understand what direction you're taking, I hope you'll finish in time.
Like your snowman, especially face and posing.

[MightyReg]

C2theG: If you are talking about the ape, it's not for this comp, it was an example of the render I want to do. If you were talking about my God, well thanks, altough he won't be textured.

washka:Happy you like my snowman

So here's is what I had time to do today, still have some minor things to do like bending fingers, work on the muscle deformation, and add a little texture to the body. Don't know if I will have time for a belt.

It's not too late for comments on my sculpting!

Looks so great, I really like it, best of luck for the competition final

[Turvs]

Wow i really like the model, i cant think of anything that could be wrong with it, i love the hammer it looks great. Good luck on the comp and hope its finished in time!

[MightyReg]

chunkymunky, Turvs: Thanks, appreciate your comments!

Oh and believe me I will finish it in time, even if I have to stop sleeping for two days

Whew! Finally finished! I want to thanks everyone who helped and commented on my Earth God, your feedback was very important!
Of course it's too bad he isn't textured and in a BG, but still I am pretty happy of the result I got with the little time I had. I feel I learn more and more about sculpting, and I only started 4 months to sculpt. With a bit of chance I'll win one of those T-Shirts

Now I'm going off to sleep, I feel really ...

[chunkymunky]

Superb render, makes it looks completely real! Love this sculpt best of luck to you

[MightyReg]

Hey thanks munky, yeah making it look real was my objective with that kind of render. Happy you like my sculpt

[Tarik2d]

render looks good, like a real model. well done

[Turvs]

Final render looks great, looks really realistic, good luck in the comp! I think im going to attempt to make another character now.

[washka]

Nice result man, I'm happy you could finish it in time.
Some little details maybe for next time: hand is not grasping enough the hammer, the back parts of the clogs is not working. Looking at your snowman, I think you can do better for the anatomical part work.
Maybe I would have added somes chains or ropes for mask and armored pieces, you know fixing, attach.
I like the way you did the horns, and the decorations of the hammer, the mask is a good idea, originality, concept could have been pushed a bit further.
Your render is clean, that's good in some way, in another way I miss a bit the texturing, but time and deadlines are not always easy to manage, I know that.
But you know I'm quite a bad *ss for criticism, for a 4 month sculpting experience your job is quite good.
Good luck for the judging part!
