Pre-DomWar V - 3D Character Art

[Krallis]

Yeh we can use spec maps aswell.

We were initially alllowed bump but no normals but now we arent allowed bump either.
or any light baking really :\

[Zlatovous]

Agree with you Buzzy. I would be much comfortable if I could send them a turnable video instead of bunch of pictures

[VersionThirst]

Looking to get in on this soon.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to take a look at the other 3D Art competition, here are the links to the other forums. Not sure if there is already an actual official list somewhere. I only know English, so I couldn't find the forum on the cgart.ir site.

Here's what I have at the end of today.
Comments would be appreciated as I feel it may be a bit too generic as it stands.
I like the ideas but I may have to tweak designs and proportions a bit if it doenst stand out enough.

Theres some great concepts on here though
Lets keep it up.

going corrupted - heres a rough of what im thinking
like an undead pegasus legionaire thingy.

EDIT: Updated the image so its easier to see

[chris_solo]

Hello guys & girls!
loyal to 3Dtotal , I take the train and I see that there are already interesting projects! So here's my concept, all suggestions are welcome!

[Cordero]

Freekybevis: Looks good, but it would already take more then 3k tris to build this up with a decent silhouette. And also, it has no weapon yet.

Once I get the shapes down, Immah make a highpoly model and sculpt it.

So would I, but I'm having trouble getting myself to do it.


My ol' man gave me the idea of changing my character's legs backwards, based on a description of the Bodachs from the book The Moon of Gomrath. I thought i'd try it out. I know it looks weird (and quite a bit off balance), but at the same time I think it gives it just a little more creepiness.

Also, thanks for the helpful advice, everyone.

[Cordero]

chris_solo: Hey Chris! Its really nice to see you here man! Your concept looks promising, I'm most curious what you will make of this challenge!

[thefmilyofblood]

Freekybevis- That looks really REALLY awesome, but as Cordero said, it'd be hard to do with only 3,000 tris.

[NinthJake]

@thefmilyofblood That looks rather nice but I would suggest adding another "knee" joint above the current knee to help with the balance.

[psykes]

Heres what i working on, a shadow.
concepting in 2d wasnt going too well so playing with silhouette.
1000 tris so far, thinking need to refine the gauntlet arm things abit

[Freekybevis]

so much doubt so early on :P watch this space

looking good phsykes

[Krallis]

Ive had a better idea actually, and a better more distinctive concept. That will stand out rather than Generro Lady.

Still a shadow but

- it has an elongated midsection

-long arms, with blades stuck on the end

Sort of hyper flexible for easily dodging sword attacks.

A mish mash of organic and mechanical parts.
Black/ Dark grey armour, but with glowing insignias.

I have a really quick concept sketched out on a notepad.
Ill try and get a decent one up tomorrow.
Or even the model.

Thanks mate!
...I also expect to see what you're going to cook in your pot of ideas!
