Wow kryssmen Nice work

Well im done with the pose. Now its just start detail it ^^. Im learning out to use vray, and i tried to take a shot with it. Really really primary yet

[arttorney]

I am about ready to reexamine my ref (MaximVerehin's image) and start building some teeth and lips. I guess I should give him some little knuckles or something at the end of those arms. I also need to figure out what I am going to do about the little nose and iris/pupil detail on the eyeballs.


I could see a few changes were necessary.

Obviously, this next one needed some minor adjustment. I just thought you guys who know what you are doing might get a big kick out of it. I fixed it by doubling rotation on all three axes in my linear transform of the cells (if that makes any sense) but I can't see the snapshot I thought I made of the fix. I'll be back.

Here it is.

I guess some further tweaks to my linear transform may be in order here but this is basically how the hair comes out. I figured out what I will try if I can't figure out how to do the mouth and eyes with UV mapping.

The pikachu from hell with a hangover.


From what I've learned in the last few days I can finish this for sure Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday over coffee. I won't flake on you this time Kryssmen. Just two new textures- shiny mucous membrane and shiny white (both easy) plus a little bit of modeling if I don't figure out UV mapping. (Well a little bit of modeling anyway, for the teeth).

[arttorney]

I'm just down to tweaking textures and perhaps tinkering around with the teeth and lip/gum area. I'll probably spend more time deciding what kind of lighting and rendering I like best. I obviously need at least a second light to keep the shadow side from flattening out.

This particular challenge is for 3D pieces. There is a 2D Creature planet as well, but the Pokemon Challenge in 2D happened a couple of weeks ago. They are currently drawing for a challenge called "Sand Swimmer" in 2D Creature Planets. http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4883

Thats come along way arttourney, looking good. I was considering that re-design myself.

I'm not worried about people not making deadline, its more for your self satisfaction than for mine. I'd still like to see more people on the forum, we are getting alot more viewers with this challenge than before so its looking up.


As long as you as artists push yourselves to become better, increase your skills and technique as well as being efficient and finishing your tasks in a timely manner than you are becoming a better asset for production.
