Hi I did a model of Martian Manhunter whom i think is a very cool character from the DC universe. Hope the tenebrism isnt overdone and everyone likes it.

[Trybal]

Looks pretty cool. Good job.

[Kosher]

Very cool. I love the character and the lighting. Top row, I'd say.

[Erik Heyninck]

The lighting isn't overdone, in fact: it is the lighting that creates the atmosphere.
But it does make it difficult to see the ZB work.

Looks really cool man! Really nice lighting - very dramatic. Any chance of seeing him with a more neutral light setup so we can see the details of your sculpt? Do you plan on posing him?

[Zicarious]

Hey sorry guys should of provided more details, just wasnt sure anyone was gonna like it.

Heres a render from a front angle and one without textures, also the body without the subtools and just a quick drawing i did before i started sculpting.

All the subtools were made in zbrush with mesh extract and retopology, and rendered with Vray.

really glad you guys like it.

Hi heres a smaill WIP that im currently working on, comments and crits are much appreciated.

[nerveink]

the vray renders look really nice. great job!

[Remib]

i like both characters and the mood you give to your renders this is great

[JJP3D]

Can you tell us a little more about your rendering setup? How do you get the dark edges on the backgrounds? It establishes a great mood?

[brettSinclair]

Awesome. Love the manhunter. Great anatomy and renders.

[Zicarious]

nerveink, Remib, brett: thanks really appreciate the comments, means a lot to me.

JJP3D: im not sure which dark edges in the background your reffering too, but my render setup is nothing special its just one vray light. by having one light i get those dark edges on the models. hope that helps. lemme know anything else youd like to know

Just thought id share some more wips, and a few drawings

[nerveink]

hey you think you can show some screens on how you setup that render?? was it max or maya?? those renders look great. i got a copy of 3ds max 2008 but i have just a basic understanding of how the mental ray render works. the background looks cool too. cheers mate
