Hi I did a model of Martian Manhunter whom i think is a very cool character from the DC universe. Hope the tenebrism isnt overdone and everyone likes it.

Looks pretty cool. Good job.

[Kosher]

Very cool. I love the character and the lighting. Top row, I’d say.

[Erik_Heyninck]

The lighting isn’t overdone, in fact: it is the lighting that creates the atmosphere.
But it does make it difficult to see the ZB work.

Looks really cool man! Really nice lighting - very dramatic. Any chance of seeing him with a more neutral light setup so we can see the details of your sculpt? Do you plan on posing him?

[Zicarious]

Hey sorry guys should of provided more details, just wasnt sure anyone was gonna like it.

Heres a render from a front angle and one without textures, also the body without the subtools and just a quick drawing i did before i started sculpting.

All the subtools were made in zbrush with mesh extract and retopology, and rendered with Vray.

really glad you guys like it.

the vray renders look really nice. great job!

[Remib]

i like both characters and the mood you give to your renders this is great

[JJP3D]

Can you tell us a little more about your rendering setup? How do you get the dark edges on the backgrounds? It establishes a great mood?

[brettSinclair]

Awesome. Love the manhunter. Great anatomy and renders.

[Zicarious]

nerveink, Remib, brett: thanks really appreciate the comments, means a lot to me.

JJP3D: im not sure which dark edges in the background your reffering too, but my render setup is nothing special its just one vray light. by having one light i get those dark edges on the models. hope that helps. lemme know anything else youd like to know Just thought id share some more wips, and a few drawings []

Very nice mate, I like the lighting…very atmospheric. I prefer the top image myself, does the top image have perspective enabled?, it looks slightly different to the lower one (apart from the colours/textures).

Either way…brilliant, keep posting pal

[Zicarious]

Sinzalot: thanks man, their different renders with a slight angle change. Glad you like it

[nerveink]

still waiting on the screen grabs!!! they would help a lot!!!
