hey StefanH looking good so far kind of reminds me a little bit of lord of the rings in a way...

hey Dribble good to see you continuing to practice. remember to block in forms at lower subdivisions it will help get rid of the playdough feel.. and also learning anatomy will help you greatly where to incorporate structure...


hey space looking good really like the mood of the lighting that you gave this piece really does feel Egyptian. also did you start from zspheres.. really like the forms you have so far in this.. looking forward to where you bring this piece..

hey pride really love fluidity of this piece and the forms coming out of the water.. interested in what the workflow was for the water and the piece as whole?

hey Malo Juanito looking good so far remember to try to work on the structure at lower divisions it looks like you have a descent base mesh to accomplish what your going for just remember to make sure your structure is well defined before moving up in subdivisions..

Its good to see these challenges are back and alive and seeing new people participate with each challenge..

well as for me im going to try to participate in this challenge if can get some free time..

[spaceboy412]

troy, look forward to what you come up with. and yes zspheres of course
for myself i'm done, perhaps with these challenges all together.

Dribble maybe this should be extended for another week considering people are just popping in.

[Pride]

double post...

[Dribble]

Troy & Malo, I've been trying to get most of my structures blocked in before I subdivide but I'm still learning when the right time to switch over is, still having some trouble with it. Anatomy is definitely a weak point of mine as well. All very valid points haha.

I am also having trouble working with zspheres, it seems that I have trouble rotating them and my mesh always ends up twisted.
Maybe after work, I'll come home and do a couple more tutorials on working with them.

Space, Sorry to hear you might not be continuing, I was pretty excited to see what you came up with for the Chimera. Any particular reason you won't be continuing or anything you would recommend changing to make these challenges more fun for you and everyone else?



EVERYONE!
I will be continuing this challenge until next Wednesday BUT....
I'll also start a new one this upcoming Wednesday.

So...

The challenges will start to overlap for a week, allowing everyone to finish up or spend one solid week working on it if they don't like the new challenge (which will also run for two weeks, with one of those weeks overlapping another challenge).

That is... if it's cool with everyone.

Breaking for lunch here thought I would show what I have
leaning towards Goblin at this point

[Dribble]

Good start Orkan! What subdivision is the second WIP?

[troy1617]

hey space i figured it was from zspheres...

hey pride thanks for that your render came out great...

hey Dribble thanks for extending this another week maybe it will give me time to get this some what done...

hey Orkanslayer78 looking good so far good to see more people joining these hope fully these will grow more with time....


Well here is a basic block out...

[Malo Juanito]

Here´s an update. troy you right, but i still cannot avoid the temptation of ctl+d-ing while i´m working . I think i just matter of be more organized.

[Malo Juanito]

Everybody. Please, i need an advice. I think i have missed some bones. In the image i have mark the places where i think they could be placed. What do you think?

[nerveink]

looks too low poly to tell.

[Dribble]

Man Troy... that basic block out is pretty intense!
Awesome start! That would be a really advanced block out for me.

Malo, these might help. It seems like you've got the right amount of bones but maybe the length is off? I could be totally off here though.

[Orkanslayer78]
