TOG's Art Dump

[ThatOtherGuy]

Good and interesting stuff... as usual
Just a question and out of curiosity: why her ears don't have the same skin colour as the rest of the head?

That is because the texture underneath is part of the "hair cap", the flat texture that is used on the character just to help blend the skin texture with the hair on top.

So her ears will have hairs on the final version, do I get it right?

Oh she has then already. I just put them in hidden mode so working with the regular hair would be easier to see.

Hey guys, so here's a fun story: a week after my post in February one of my Hard Drives decided to die on me. The one that contained the majority of my art and other work. So I've spent the last two months working with a friend of mine trying to see if we could revive the drives long enough to rip out the most important stuff and on to a new one. We were successful with all of the stuff that pertains to the EOD project (Yeah!) but lost a lot of my earlier stuff. Fox Girl's latest saves we lost as well, meaning she got thrown back to the half way point (whoopie...). Anyhow the work on my new drive that I recently started to use is fine and dandy, so here's some shots of the current stuff.












Would probably like to get back to Modding Medieval 2 sometime in the near future as well. Probably work on small projects if I rejoined in. Anyways enjoy!

Sorry to hear that about your drive. I know the feeling
Anyway, good stuff here as always

Btw, if you want to come back to Med II, remember what I've sent to you by the past about portraits

[cedric37]

Excellent as usual, especially the 1st one

PS: it's a tough moment to lose nearly all your work, glad you seem to have absorbed the shock.

I've been dreading some HDD collapse on my PC for quite some time now.
I'm going to have to prioritize some backup solution for this event.

Nice work, by the way!

Yeah it sucked big time when it happened. I'm one of those kinds of people who likes to get my money out of my electronics and that old drive was long overdue to failure. I might invest in some cloud storage and move things onto a good service or get an external drive as a routine back up. Also I have not forgot about your portrait requests either! That should be something I should practice on more as well.

Well the hard drive death wasn't a complete crash. I got some warnings so I was at least prepared for the inevitable. Thanks though!

Yep. Cloud storage might be a good thing to invest in now. Thanks for the complement!

[ThatOtherGuy]

Alrighty then, this sculpt is 99% done! Now onto retopology and texturing!

[cedric37]

Now I'm eager to see it finished

[Lifthrasir]

Seconded here

[Araval]

Interesting...

[paleologos]

Not bad, mate, but why all this body horror stuff?
Is it for something specific?
Also, how large is this model -memory-wise- before the re-topology?

All this body horror stuff is part of the project I'm working on. So if anyone is concerned, unless I state it, most of the monsters belong to the EOD project.

The model file size it about 378 MB for the Zbrush file, 256 MB for the High Poly OBJ File, and 7.2 MB for the Low Poly OBJ File.

So Here are some renders of the final! Quicker turn around for this Act I boss.

[Lifthrasir]

Neat!!!
Is it a kind of game like The Witcher or more like Fear?
I love Fear. Probably my favourite FPS ever

It's actually more on the lines of Quake 1. These High res textures are for show only, in game they will have that chunky software render look to them but still maintain the majority of details.

[cedric37]

This looks good !

[ThatOtherGuy]

Alright after a trip, hiatus, and a few side projects I was able to get back into the fray with this guy! Needed more monstrous creatures rather than humanoids so here is the leech monster!

[paleologos]

In all honesty your skill in 3D is done injustice by the choice of a human mouth.
The creature does not look scary, it looks comical.

[Lifthrasir]

I'd have said it in a different way but yes, that human mouth doesn't fit with the model. From my humble opinion, something like the Alien's one would be better.

So basically, black gums and more dark irregular canine teeth,
Overwise, good stuff
