Yeah it was hard. It took longer than I expected because when youre putting yourself under anesthisia, you have a tendancy not to be able to concentrate very well. I made one too many incisions and thats how I turned out. You know, nip and tuck...

Nice render but very messy polygon topology on the face...you are not planning to animate with it I hope?

cookiethehungry In reply to boiled-egg [2006-11-21 22:41:36 +0000 UTC]

I wouldn't think so.
He would have taken into account animation of the mouth, nose, and eyes if he was.
Looks more like a study, nothing wrong with a study, and if so a verry good one at that.

It's like an extremely complicated way of taking a photo of yourself.

Great modeling and texturing too. Very impressive, well deserved DD.

DryBonesReborn In reply to GeneralSoundwave [2006-11-21 23:32:52 +0000 UTC]

Yay! Really

I have trouble with characters. No matter how hard I tray, in Paint shop pro, they still look unreal. They have a cartnoonic quality, not sure if that's my style or what.

I'm no Stan Lee or Stephin King for story writting and covers for work, but I try.

I don't know female authors, or I'd use that for description of my stuff.

I had this character in my mind, yet it's hard to draw her.

Does your computer program only let you draw 'head shots' or does it let you draw characters in any way?

GeneralSoundwave In reply to DryBonesReborn [2006-11-22 17:11:19 +0000 UTC]

Its not the program. Its the artist. Look at my gallery. everything on there is all created from 1 or 2 3d programs from head to toe.... I have concept artists that work with me and i draw also.... so we can put your char on paper or 3d... but its got to start 2d. lets give it a try.

DryBonesReborn In reply to GeneralSoundwave [2006-11-22 18:21:26 +0000 UTC]

Really? That's cool. ^_^ So you got help? It's just me by myself, noone really giving me pointers on what looks 'off' in places.

Really? ^_^ Cool! I have an idea of what she will look like. It's a mixture of what somone did with a costume, but with silvery stuff. Think 'venom' from spiderman, an Afrian American woman with light features, and um eyes of blue. ^_^ You got the concept for my character, who I imagine, but hard to come out on paper.
