God Of Adamantium Part 2 (wip From Dom War 5)

[talonhawk]

Hey guys seems my other thread got locked because of all the action going on with comicon which is understandable so this is my new home I guess!

I'm in dire need of a leg paintover

[Laura-jane]

Ok I am going to follow your progress !
But why here ? ( W.I.P 3D Game Art ?)

[talonhawk]

I had to move it because the other thread got full and reached its limits. I will have mor eupdates coming soon I'm working Overtime at my job until Wednesday.

[Denz]

sorry i cant help you out with a drawover this time, I have limited free time atm

but I found this cool anatomy bust that you should "save as"

follow its silhouette for legs, it will help you greatly.




show moar progress nao!!!

[talonhawk]

Denz thanks the pics man I appreciate it.

[ScottyKay346]

I can't help you with a paintover but I have a small suggestion. I suggest you step down a few subdivisions to work on your muscle groups, everything is looking blobby and unrefined. You don't want to move up in divisions until you nail the forms, it will be much easier to adjust things

[SveinY]

Hey dude heres a little paint over.. maybe it will help you. And keep working and it will turn out awesome.

[talonhawk]

SveinY: Thanks for the paintover it will help me with my direction.

ScottyKay346: Thanks its a bad habit that I'm slowly breaking out of. I'm torn for the simple fact that I don't wanna have to redo the muscles again if I smooth out those clumps thats all. I spent so much time on those muscles alone. Unless there is a good non destructive way to get rid of clumps.


Updates are coming later this week. I'm working crazy overtime at my job. I haven't forgot about this project though. i might even have some small updates coming beforehand but working 12 hour shifts until Tuesday.

[talonhawk]

Here is a concept sheet I still need to work on the shield mechanism and how the armored boots will look I'm open for suggestions. I will try to draw a more final look of his weapon I'm trying to really narrow the direction on this and keep things consistent.

[ArminChaudhry]

Gary you inspire me!!!

Realy i never saw someone so full of discipline and so focused.
I bet in not more then two jears you will be a profesional artist.

Your scetches improoved extremly in such a short time.

[talonhawk]

ArminChaudhry: Thanks so much man! it means alot to me coming from someone of your skill level I will be a professional artist as long as I keep listening to the pro's.

[Mrpearlzildjian]

Man, you've made leaps and bounds in the quality of the piece, keep up the good work bud.

[talonhawk]

Mrpearlzildjian: Thanks man. I wanted my first complete character to have good quality to inspire others that are maybe peaking around or just learning. I also wanted to push myself hard and I have and I still have more pushing to do. I owuldn't recommend taking on such a big project for a beginner though especially if you have only dabbled in anatomy. I am literally learning anatomy in depth as I go with this project. It has improved my drawings as well though so its win win all around.

Elmo has helped me through getting started with learnign how to retopo in max and when he gives advice I take notes. Literally I have a wordpad full of them so special thanks to Elmo because if it weren't for his guidance I probably wouldn't be as far as I am. I have alot more humps to get over thats for sure. I'm ready though.

[talonhawk]

hey I'm back finally done working overtime at my job so now time to get back to my project. Here is a small update

[talonhawk]

Here is a next update



Here is my new workstation set up until I build a powerful enough pc (down the road)

[talonhawk]

I need to fix my feet so that they are flush on the surface or flat. What is the best way to go about this?

[talonhawk]

What confuses me in zbrush is this

WITHOUT PERSPECTIVE


WITH PERSPECTIVE

[talonhawk]

I refined the head a bit, curved the pecs a little, trying to fix his top wrists but getting some weird pinching and its fighting me hard core I cant smooth out the surface. it still has those slits in there.

[Denz]

Nice setup man, thumbs up for the mic.

About the feet, I would go flat with them, but I'm not sure what you plan to do with this character, is he going to have boots or are you practicing stuff and leaving your design for later?

Keep it pumping neverthelessness

[talonhawk]

Thanks. He will have armored boots on eventually. I was working on focusing on getting the proportions and anatomy correct before I went on to do the armor as suggested by other members. Otherwise he would probably be covered in armor by now
