Pre-DomWar V - 3D Character Art

[bb0x]

Yeah I know what you mean.. while working on it I thought about that.. but got lazy and just made it like it is now. I'll revisit it tomorrow.

Also, I'd like to see some kind of face on your character. Might just be me but I find it hard to focus on a character without a head/face. Plus the fact the that character is like half the size of the whole model makes it even harder imo.

Poop: I would go with alpha planes for the paper on the wings. You can get varied textures and more sporadic rips/holes along the edges.

This is what I have so far still need to make head and hands hopefully will have everything finished by the end of the weekend.

I've got a little busy out here, I'll come back soon

Yup it is hard to keep up with this thread and do everyone justice.

Banged out a few more alternatives for the suit and thought Id share one more with you before I go to the final.

I think Ive got a prety good idea where Im taking her outfit wise but Id be glad to hear a few opinions regarding direction before its too late to change, so feel free to chip in. Im more comfortable setting up my model with realisitc proportions but once thats done Ill probably be adding some stylistics into the actual body shape.





Goodluck all.

I like the first design with blue

i tried again - without having the folds in the paper it really does look cack under lighting - I've hit on a compromise which knocks 25% of the polys off and thus gives me a couple of hundred as headroom.

In other news - the boy's got chicken pox, both my cars need urgent attention with spanners and I've got a stinking cold. It's all coming together rather nicely i think.

steamtrooper - the mask on the first is much better. I'd be running with that concept

bb0x: cool weapon!

Puckducker: agreed I tried out the snake thingy and it doesn't look that good.

[Korosh]

Warlock 279:Thanks man, I was out for a while,I'll check it.

[Cordero]

al3x: cool thing Looks ace!

[hulahuga]

Steamptrooper - I think the white with blue is the most sassy

Al3x - Going on strongly! The belt buckle looks a bit stretched or blurry now though...

Started on getting geometry in there. I don't want to make the same mistake again, so I'm trying to get some interesting shapes in there.
what do you think?

K guys thanks for the second opinions, prety much what Id decided, and as such Im currently working on a slightly more cybered up and power armoured version just to make sure I dont want to go that way.

Ive also started the modeling, basic blocking out of the body and playing with some shapes for weapons as thats as easy to do in, if not easier for me than doing a 2D concept.

The only thing Im worried about realy at this moment (aside from poly budget), is that the vertical stripes and Blue and White are tending to lend it a rather Cap America feel and thats something Im gonna try to address as I tidy up my roughs and home in on the real Final concept. Time to go finalise the weapons and transfer the ideas I get there into stowage and motifs on the uniform.

al3x - If it was me Id add some seperation into the chest, a nice use of the inset flaming motif might work nicely, its just that spot is drawing my eye and not in a good way, it seems a little empty I think, but great design and lovely texturing by the way.

Thanks once again guys and good to see so many involved in the prelims. This should be one heck of a DW main event judging by what were seeing right now.

Cordero, very cool man, sharpen fingers though. those fat ones don't fit at all.
