Here are the first steps of texturing for the old man. Still have a longs way to go



I also made some changes to the chest plate. I just didn't like what was going on in between the horses. Let me know what you think I still have to put something in the middle of the chest. I do have some ideas which I hope to work on his week. I also want to put something in the middle of the leaves I just put on.



Let me know what you think,thanks.

good progress Paul Some small suggestions if I may be so bold - the chin of the old man looks strange and young in comparison to the neck - you have the folds on the neck appearing out of nowhere rather than continuing from the chin area... even if he's a slim person his skin would sag under the lower jaw and join the neck - right now you can barely see it as it starts too far back towards the neck [not sure I make myself clear ]

Also the ears are going too much into the skull - I'd pull them out a bit more at the base.

Last thing - the upper eyelid is too much on the same level as the lower one in the outer corners of the eyes - the upper lid always comes out more and sort of folds on top of the lower lid

keep'em coming

Magda thank you for the input. I greatly appreciate it. This is why I am putting up the flow so I can fix as I go on. If I understand you I have to start the folds from the back of the jaw. I will look for some references unless you have some. Talk to you later.

Skin texture is looking good. Did you do that from photo ref or just hand paint it? You should throw some eyes in him even if they are just place holder. Eyes add so much to the look of the character (no punt intended).

I did not use a reference. I just hand painted it. Good idea about the eyes. Hopefully I can work on him some more this weekend.

It has been a while but I wanted to share some quick sculpts I did. I think these may grow into something else.

Here is a sculpt I did in about 35mins

Here is another one I did in about 45mins. It is some futuristic character May build off this one.



I plan to use this eagle on my Roman Chest Plate that I have been developing. Let me know what you think. I will be putting the image of the eagle on the plate up soon.




Hope you all enjoy.

Nice job on that eagle Paul - feels like it's been stitched in wire and thread, like they do on banners and uniforms. The head sculpts feel a little elongated towards the back atm, especially the first one! Great to see you at it again

Hey Paul,

Nice eagle. Have you been inspired by Gladiator?

[Sebcesoir]

HEHE!!!
Nice to see your stuffs man!

Nice detailing on the ornaments.
Very clean

[cbostjan]

paul the eagle is awesome! I really love it. I would agree with Mag on the heads they do feel abit elongated toward the back, but that is an easy fix. Your stuff is looking great though keep up the good work.

[gabo1991]

Magda, Chris and Sebastien thank you for the comments. I agree that the heads do seem a little elongated. Easy fix I will be getting the eagle on the chest plate up soon.

John I was inspired a little by Gladiator.

Talk to everyone later.
