Description Here's my interpretation of a Galactus type of creature. He moves from solar system to solar system gathering suns. The heat helps warm his freezing insides. Image took about 5-6 hours.

That is one of the best pieces of work I have seen in a long time. I really think it's an awesome piece and it's definitely going into my favs gallery! It only took you 5-6 hours? I'm impressed!

Impressing stuff, I really dig the textures on his body! He looks very mythological! And I feel sorry for the poor ppl who lose their suns. Do he burn them out or what? (Hope he's not coming here!!)

Postrendering work included adding extra texture to the sun, adding the smoking fumes, and inserting the background. Not too bad...

Thats just brilliant! Well done!

However!
The sun hes carrying on his back is the most obvious source of light in the picture, but around the wrist and inner-elbow you've added shading which shouldn't be there.
Also, suns are *really* bright, so you shouldn't be afraid to have a heavy white shine on the edges of the arm.

Again, love the concept and the design. I still think its worthy of a fav.

Nice eye, I was kinda waiting for someone to say something about that. I know it goes against physics, but i did that on purpose as an experiment. I'll go over it with a highlighting tool tonight and see where it takes me.

MurkHellsing In reply to CGZool [2006-08-04 16:07:49 +0000 UTC]

Technically it COULD work if there was an even greater light source, but it'd have to be pretty bright.

CGZool In reply to MurkHellsing [2006-08-04 16:17:25 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to keep things darker than they normally would be. Particularly b/c I see him as a very dark, cold figure. I also figured anything that close to a sun might be washed out from the bright light. Don't know if that's necessarily true though....

binarymillenium In reply to CGZool [2006-08-30 02:25:49 +0000 UTC]

Maybe since he's already touching the sun he's sucking the energy out of it and messing up the nuclear reactions- or all the previously consumed stars in him continue to burn and we're looking at a bright sun and a bright creature but with dark sunglasses on...

Makes sense when you put it like that.
