A Shaman's Chakras

Render of Rear View :slight_smile:

This is looking great! More :b2:

yeah yure right at the begining they were looking more like a sort of jwellery but as i didnt know your finalized idea it was ok and even as jwellery it looked awsome :smiley:

and that rear view…one word description of it…bad ass(and sorry for using ass but its a must :laughing: ) w8ing for more updates :+1: :+1:

Thanks pluMmet and acb12,

         The new renders are coming out pretty cool, or bad ass if you prefer  ;) , but man, they are taking a long time. 
         
         
         It appeared out of the darkness -

I’m working on coming up with concepts for adding the Throat, Heart and Navel chakras to this shaman’s armor. Below is a quick drawing of one idea I have.

As with the horns on his helmet, these shoulder guards spew gaseous fire :). These horns straddle his shoulders and wrap around to his back. I might also add four more horns coming out of the four main chambers of the heart chakra. The final design will also be more organic, similar to the Battle Helm. Questions, comments and critiques are greatly appreciated :)

This is coming out really nice man! :wink:

Very nice concepts and implementation. Can’t wait to get back into 3d :slight_smile:

Thanks samar vijay, your work (Medusa’s Gaze and the Cowgirl especially) is exquisite. I dig your website too.

And thank you too The Cheshire Cat, I greatly appreciate the compliments. I'm glad you're back creating 3D artwork. The Petrol Shaman's upper body armor is now complete. It's adorned with the Throat, Heart and Navel chakras. Here are the first renders. Yes, it's a beast :). Higher resolution renders - [http://www.ericartman.com/visual_effects/body_armor_high_res.html](http://www.ericartman.com/visual_effects/body_armor_high_res.html) As with the Shaman's Battle Helm, this upper body armor has fire spewing horns :). Comments and Critiques are welcome. I was going to wait to post again until I had outfitted the Shaman with his armor, but duty calls and I'm going to have to take a few weeks away from this project.

…nice progress :+1: :+1: :+1: cant w8 for you to complete it :smiley:

Thanks abc12. You don’t have any images in your User Gallery. Do you have a website? I’m curious as to what ZBrush creations you’ve been concocting :).

Front View (new render) -

Thanks SOLcreator. The concepts you’ve created for your Knoweapon superhero are fantastic.

I also really dig his back story. Sounds like you’ve got a whole movie or game already planned out for this character to exist in :).

I’m eager to see Knoneapon come to life.

Wire of Shaman’s chest armor -

Wow, the detailing is inspiring.

well i am kinda new to all of this 3d thing and well drawing at al(less then 6 months i think.
ive always drew but not proffesionally and i was always better with sculpting (in real life and well in 3d as well :smiley: ) rather then drawing so right now im working on fixing that one :smiley:
and well atm tho im not drawing that bad im working on my work flow and just having WAYY to many ideas so im busy on making sketches and then ill choose the ones i wanna fill my portfolio with…and then…yull see some creations of mine :smiley:

edit:…ehh…hmm…i didnt know there were personal user galleries in this site @_@

Render with some particle effects :slight_smile: -

Thanks for the love EricArtman :). Ya, in a way I do have a lot planned for Knoweapon, and in another way I’m kinda just letting the energy flow through me and let it be the engine of creation. I honestly don’t know how the story ends yet… we’ll see :slight_smile: Stay tuned!

Hi EricArtman. Thank you so much for the nice comments on my sketchbook works! I visited your website: beautiful sculpting, I really appreciate and value real craftsmanship.
I was following this thread for some time, intruiged by the Petrol Shaman. The armor is fabulous: every piece is a fluid composition, from the biggest shape, to the smallest detail. :+1: ! Can’t wait for the next update, so, I’m subscribing. :+1: !


My sketchbook: Etcher_Sketcher

Unfortunately, I got a bit side tracked and I haven’t finished the Petrol Shaman.

I have however completely redesigned and revamped my personal website. ZBrush was used extensively to texture and paint all the graphical elements. The final version of the site was rendered in 3ds Max using Mental Ray. The design of the buttons was influenced by the ones on Bulgarov Vitaly's personal site. I hope you like the new (critiques and comments welcome) -

I’ve reduced the saturation a bit :wink: -
