Making new topology for the... cape?? (how do you say Capa?? >__<)
I'll become insane writing everything in english.....

[ISK-86]

Finished the cape!!!

Looks like you are working on the overall look/proportion again which is good.

I think there's something about the nose wings that bothers me, may be because they seems disconnected and looks like 2 bulgy ball attached on the nostril? The tool I might suggest for the area are either the inflat brush or magnify brush as for me it seems to allow good blend around the nose area.

Kouri just went to the plastic surgeon.. i dunno what nosewings are... hope this looks better than the bulgy balls

THe worst of all curses has came: THe hands.

Something good is that his hands are not complete, he has lost some "Falanges" (sorry for my poor anatomy-related english)...

just googled it ---> Phalanges

the right hand
pointing finger's distal and middle phalang
little finger distal phalang

Some reference pics to aid me, and the zsphere build



Any suggestions to make this a little better looking will be recieved with a big smile

Hey your are really fast
I´m a little bit jealous... I´ve just started ^^

I know the probem with the hands ^^
And I´m sure that they will drive me crazy again when I´m going to sculpt them

Maybe you should upload another image ...more focused on the hand
and maybe in preview mode?
So we can diagnose the problem better... if there is some

[ISK-86]

There's another pic of the other hand.... think the thumb should be a little closer to the other fingers...

In the story kouri only has tree fingers in the left hand : /



I found a problem myself about the right hand and it is that the arm is way too long...

wandering in this forum i found a really good way to make hands, i dont remember wich super-hero i took it from, but when i find him again im gonna thank him : )



now listening to: CAfÉ TaCuVA, El baile y el salón

Feliz año nuevo a todos!!!

Moni-Poroni:

"Don't be ashamed of being slow, be ashamed the moment you stop working"

I'm on vacations and I have 48 hours a day to sculpt and a few more to live...

Looking forward to the meeting with DD, hope she likes this present




Now Listening to: La cuca, El Son del Dolor

Hello there.. ISK-86, The nose looks much better now. I think the zsphere set up for the hand/fingers is quite fine. I think it's in a good shape that you won't need to retopologize.

Just in case someone might be interested in the zsphere set up, the original contestant who posted this zsphere construct is Bingo_Jackson and his know how can be read in this : http://www.pixolator.com/zbc/showpos...2&postcount=22

BTW, don't forget to leave some Transpose action to the posing process as well(Just seeing many of your pose have been constructed throguh the zsphere already). Other than that, you are doing it at quite a fast pace. ook forward for more.

Nice work with the ZSpheres. Your character has a lot of personality and the story is a very original entry. I like it a lot.

[ISK-86]

Thanks solidSnakeXXX

PUBLIC THANKS TO Bingo_Jackson for making my life easier

Another two pics of the hands...
I like to pose them and then make some extra zspheres... that gives more hand-form and needs less tweaking

----This is from a school work ( a vector based comic) , by no means it can be taken as a printed commercial comic book----




In an unknown hallway, the great priest of the city of stone walks towards an unexpected meeting...




The great priest meets the carrier of the nucleus, his god, his oracle, to know the result of the war menacing at his walls

Kouri - ...and tell me before I give orders to the army, the truth of all truths: How to get rid of the darkborn sons of the nuclei, to finish with this shameful war!!!

Carrier - So you want to know the truth of all truths? Yoy desire to see the ending of this war? Is that what you really desire?





Carrier - Are you willing to carry the truth?

Kouri - Yes...



(no pic) Carrier - The nucleus has become bored of your prayers, the barbarians have allied with the polluted kin, and I, your god, your oracle

Carrier - I am the most powerful darkborn son of the nucleus!!!!
