YdoUwant2know has entered the competition!

[YdoUwant2know]

I have been fighting back and forth for the last few days as to whether or not I should join. Then I got board and thought, what the hell, I may be starting late, but that just makes it more interesting. After much thought, I decided to go with the character of Deidara. We are both a lot alike. He is an artist, loves explosion, and is a complete nut job. :D Plus I wanted to do a character that no one else was modeling. I'm just funny like that sometimes. This is what i have so far, i hope to have the low poly done sometime tonight. I still have just about 2500 tri left for the face hair and coat.

i normaly start by the head xD but this looks pretty promising so far, keep it up!

And starting so late is really more interesting ;D

[YdoUwant2know]

Normally I would start with the head, and then work on the body. However, I have been having a hard time getting the face to look the way i want on paper, so i put it off and started on the body. Started late, can't wast too much time. :D

[TryForce]

will you make him in the coat or wihtouth the coat and damaged?

[YdoUwant2know]

I thinking open damage coat. so kind of both. I know i want to change up the clothing some. i was thinking of leaving the shirt off to show his hidden mouth, play that up a bit with the texturing; more elaborate seals and tattoos and such

No harm in starting a little late. So did I. Some of the best things I've made are under tight deadlines and a lot of pressure. The modeling looks good so far. What are you thinking for the outfit? I did Kisame who I think wears a similar outfit and I completely changed it. I'm interested to see how you'll go about it. Good luck.

[YdoUwant2know]

Well I was not able to finish the low poly as soon as i would have liked, but i think i just about got it. Still a few more tweaks I may make, and i still can do some optimizing if i need the tri.

C & C welcome and appreciated.

[TryForce]

You nailed his head pretty good!!!!

really cool man, though i remember him abit more lanky, Means thinner legs as thinner arms maybe? longer legs (just abit) can be cool also!

keep it up! texture! how much tris so far?

[YdoUwant2know]

Thanks.

Not sure on the exact count, my computer is rendering another project. I'm somewhere between 4750-4850 tri. i still have a few things to add as well as some things that i can take out. so i should be good there.

I'm not sure how much Normal work i have to do with it, but i know i have some. so high poly model is up next. Then i should be able to start final textures some time next week.

[zabuza2k]

wow i like it

[YdoUwant2know]

Well I surprised even myself and got it submitted. I'm not as happy with it as I could be... ran out of time... but overall I really liked how everything turned out.

It has been a long couple of weeks, and I have not had as much free time as I would have liked, but such is life.

Rigging was well, fun... the hair and coat were a pain, had to rig them all separately, I was starting to work on facial morphers when time ran out. Oh well, I guess it’s time to start the next project.
