Dickie, I made a bolter earler today. It’s not perfect, but you’re welcdjome to use it if you like.
Reply time!
I forgot a few last time…DOH!
Wenna:I watched the original also. Some fun stuff, but very hokey compared to the new one. I really enjoy working on it, as I get to do a buch of different work, from lighting to modeling to set extensions.
Aminuts: That must have beena scary Chem teacher. The one I had in HS was awsome. He started an eraser fight during midterms…Good times…
Coye: Thanks for the props. Yeah, I wanted this image to be very colorful, so I cranked the saturation in PS. The original render looked like normal rusted metal, as it’s Jantim’s rusted metal shader…
MrLearner: I like the blue eyed one too, so the latest render has them back in…
VIV!: How ya doin’ kiddo. Long time no talk! Entirely my fault I’m afraid. Sorry bout the absence… Happy ya like him, but I went back to blue eyes. They seem colder somehow. Fitting for this character…
Drums! : I’ll finish my letter to you tomorrow. I’m a bit beat this evening…He’ll be getting cooler soon…
Mr Micro: Thanks. I’m glad you like the shaders. I still have more detail I need to add to his face. he’s getting to where I want him though…
Entomogant: Indeed… I’m a real big Warhammer fan. It’s one reason why my characters are always exxagerated. I just enjoy that style.
Erkaerbar: Yes, he’s all Z-brush. I usually tweak the image in Photoshop also, to bring out various parts of the illustration. I appreciate the top vote, but he still has a ways to go to reach that goal…
Jason: Heya Bro! Thanks for your input… I agree about the armor. I never really finished it up for my previous chaos marine, so it’s a lil ragged. I’m happy with the shoulder pads, but I’m going to redo the chestplate. For this illustration it’s going to be mosty covered up by his cassok, so I’m probably not going to rebuild it just yet.
Artwooki: Heya! I’m glad you like my illustrative style. Don’t worry, The cassock and mitre are coming. I’m actually going to combine them with modifed space marine armor as it will make him seem more imposing. Oh yeah, and I REALLY want to see more of your work too, Chris, as the character you made back in September was phenominal! I LOVE your style…
Bill: I’d love to have a copy of your bolter. He’s going to be holding a shephard’s hook/cattle prod/stun gun, but having a bolter on his hip is a good idea, as officers always are issued a sidearm…I’ll be sure to give you credit…
As always, I thank you all for your input. It makes all my efforts worthwhile and I learn a lot from you guys and gals…
Dickie
ok. I was just looking at it. There are a couple of bevels that I need to add in pretty hghly visible areas. I’ll do that tomorrow evening and send it to you? Drop me a PM with your email address.
with the latest …looks like a monocle is missing. Quite the stern looking fellow!
ok man, no problem for me. I hope I’m not boring you…
I’m sorry for this late replay, I was in accademy for some exams.
see ya my friend
Marco
