nice work here! the 9" bust in clay are beautiful.

[sculptor.zb]

Great work!

cherub_rock - thanks! that's actually what i've been looking at. it's not 100% the same. for whatever reason his settings weren't working the same for me, but my lighting is a bit different. trying to adapt the info to what i want, but i'm probably screwing something up through inexperience.

rattus - thanks! I'm hoping to mold/ cast it soon.

sculptor.zb - thanks!

[dpeteuil]

textured this guy. still might do some small changes, but i think i'm gonna go with this. not sure how much i like it, or him goofy arms. crits welcome.

[dpeteuil]

some more skin tests. still haven't put tattoo's on the centaur, or decided on the colors for his stuff. critiques/ comments welcome.

[dpeteuil]

update on centaur's accessories. i'm not sure how i feel about some of the colors right now, particularly the bow. any thoughts?

also, not sure i mentioned this before, but the inscriptions on the weapons are in Tamil and say Fire, Ice and Wind for each respective weapon. hence the whitish knife handle, and reddish sword handle. crits welcome

How did I miss this utterly magnificent thread? What a wonderful creature, and fantastic skill!!!

This is absolutely 5 star Top Row for sure.

I realyl like this a lot, but since you ask - I think the bow is to close in value to his skin. I would probably try making it darker - like the sword. that one separates the sword perfectly from the body and yet doesn't break the overal nicely homogenous color scheme.

[dpeteuil]

EricShawn - thank you very much!

Julian_K - thanks! thanks for the input! i looked at it after a few days and agreed, so i did change it.

someone in another forum thought maybe the nose rings were distracting, so i made a comparison with and without. also here are two of the other models with hair. nearly done now, maybe a few touch ups. I'm gonna have to find something to do while i wait for all this rendering though.

[L. Pavanelli]

Great models! The centaur looks awesome, the anatomy is spot on. I don't think the rings on his nose is distracting, I think it fits his style perfectly. Keep it up!

Cheers!

[dpeteuil]

so here is my finished reel. it took far longer than i expected but it's finally done. i ended up editing it myself. i would have liked to do something more creative but i just needed to get it done so i can start looking for a job. i'd like to relocate, so i'd consider a job just about anywhere, both in and out of the US. so, anyone feel like hiring me?

anyway, crits welcome.

edit: also, except the lady, all textures were hand painted with zbrush and touch ups in photoshop.
