Tail 'Gator (Finished! 7-7-2002 - 121 Welcome)

[WingedOne]

Something I've been working on the past couple of days. When I'm finished the guy won't be driving his car naked. :)

The seam in the neck will be smoothed out when I'm done. The head is just in a separate layer from the body right now.

looks like the start of an interesting image....are they going to try to carjack him ? Nice modeling WO....I anxiously await this one :tu: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

[rhom]

I like this-There' nothing wrong with driving
na.......to much information!

[Belleski]

Very Interesting! Right now he looks like a space alien behind the wheel! Like to see where it goes from here. :cool:

[wenna]

Excellent modeling! Love the light effects of the dashboard.. and and the seat covers! Great job, can't wait for the finished one!

[Mentat7]

At least he has both hands on the wheel lol! That look on his face makes me wonder just what is following him? :tu:

[Slosh]

Very interesting start. I will be looking for the updates.

[WingedOne]

Here's the latest update. I started to work on his clothes plus I started to work on the headrests. After doing the clothes, I realized his head was slightly to large for his body, so I cleared the layer his head was one and re-positioned re-sized the head.

The clothes aren't finished yet though.

I like the lighting alot - Bright light from the dashboard - or is he looking at an alien life form? :)

[WingedOne]

The light is from the dashboard. I may need to change the lighting coming from behind eventually, depending.

Seems to me most dashboards these days use a red light (so as to not disrupt night vision). When I was a kid they used a pale green light...aaaaaand we liked it! :)

[WingedOne]

Here's the latest update. Added, back window, review mirrow, the sides of the car and a troll doll. The troll doll was built with a multimarker and then the seams were smoothed out with the Glowbrush tool after the troll doll was placed on the canvas.

hey cool :tu:
you should put some hair stubal on his face like he's been up for 3 days with a cig in his mouth and a beer can on the dash and have 2 red light from the back window that look like police light with transparent glass like he's being pulled over LOL

[Tammy]

This is terrific I love the newest update. The lighting is excellent and I like the troll.

[drjjwow]

awesome image ...me so jealous..cant wait to see the final..

[Nemo]

Kewl,

I like the amount of detail you put into this already.
You can handle your layers very well. I'm still new to comp based painting and havent adpoted well to the layers techniques yet - though they are essential i'm sometimes puzzled where to put what effect, material etc.
So keep up the good work !

[Smiles]

You are doing great! I hope your troll gets a butt crack though lol

[Stonecutter]

I've been quietly watching this develope, and having a hell of a good time doing so! Although your work is always excellent, I think I enjoy watching the way you approach the process most of all. You have a unique vision, and I always enjoy the result...!

[WingedOne]

Here's the latest update.

Here's a little short paragraph that's supposed to accompany the image.

Just as he was leaving the diner late at night along a rural road Boyd was warned by the cook, "Be careful, there are Tail 'Gators out here at night in these here parts."

"Don't worry, I can handle tailgaters just fine," Boyd said as he left the diner.

Tail '(Gators) LOL :D
He should Get on his Moblie phone and (CrockaDIAL) the Police and report Him. :D

[Stargo]

Great image, WingedOne :eek: :tu: :tu:

[WingedOne]

Here's the latest update. I added teeth to the creature. I also put in the side windows to the car and I put trees in the background. In addition, I put in trees and added fog. Also, as per Ron Harris' suggestion I adjusted the eyes to look more they were looking at the rear view mirror. I also added the seams/piping to the headreasts. I adjusted the brightness and contrast a little too.

Excellent work! Love the addition of the trees outside.

[Ron Harris]

[Mik]

Cool image, the dashboard troll is fab!
The updates show how brilliantly it has progressed. :D

[WingedOne]

Here's the latest update. After my script-writing frenzy of two weeks ago, I thought I'd get back to this. I added wrinkles, buttons and seams to the shirt and added wrinkles to the t-shirt. I added hair and some minor details to the car interior. I also smoothed out the sharp edges of the car interior. As always any 121 welcome.

[aurick]

Coming along great! It's nice to see that you're still working on this one. (In truth, I still chuckle over the pun.)

[drjjwow]

wonderful update..looking awesome (r) everytime..

[robotalk]

Wow --It even got BETTER--Super fine work-Winged one ! :D :D :tu: :tu: :D :D

[Stonecutter]

Loveit W/O... :D !
My only complaint is that I keep imagining the expression on the face of the Troll and unfortunately I can't see it...I know it would crack me up! :D :D :D

Beautiful work all the way on this one!
:tu: :tu: :tu: :cool: :D :cool: :tu: :tu: :tu:

Looks good winged one. Is this one finished? It looks like it could be, if not I look forward to the updates. I love watching your work unfold.

[WingedOne]

Here's the final (hopefully) image. Added the speakers in the back and a little bit more detail to the face and darkened the edges of the fingers in the hands to make them look less like they were one object.

I started to add foliage to the trees, but I didn't like they way it looked in this picture so I decided against it.

As always 121 still welcome.

[Vikki]

Very, very, very cool! You really did a great piece of work here. I love all the detail! The pun is terrificly funny and you did an absolutely perfect job of making a picture of a couple of words. :D :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Ron Harris]

it turned out great!!!! I wish I had the discipline learned to be able to spend a great deal of time on a piece like you have...guess that is what makes yer work extra special...it's the extra mile you go to achieve your results..... :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Gerlon]

[banez]

:tu: :D

[wenna]

I love this one! It has been great seeing you add details! It has turned out very very good! Thanks for sharing all this with us! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[juandel]

jeez - awesome, WingedOne!!!! i missed the last update before the final one, so my 121 comes a little late: though i realize eyebrows can stand up like this in a situation the driver is going through :) i feel that something is wrong with them... maybe they are too sparse or thick or whatever. just what comes up to my mind - otherwise: brilliance!

- juandel

[drjjwow]
