Delta 73-46 J-T'ah-Rii: The Soul Gazer

Finished…

This simply started out as an exercise in box-modelling a head as shown in this thread:

The hair was done with edgeloop extrusions as shown in the thread above and then postworked after baking using a combination of the deco brush and the simple brush.

I decided to get in closer to the face so I could concentrate more on close-up details.

The jacket is a difference mesh from the torso.

I purposely muted all of the colors except for the eyes. :slight_smile:

Very nice work and lots of great detail. :wink:

Ooo, that hair rocks! The whole thing does, actually. Very nice. :smiley: :+1:

To whoever gave this a bad/terrible rating at least tell me what I did wrong so I can improve it. :frowning:

hey m8, dont get discouraged. Just flamers. You know, with that many members there are always trolls. I think you did a great job :-).

Also, there are loads of peple posting renders made in other apps, just doing a bit of detail and color in Z. Which is why i think it is great when people do it all in Z. Especially if its hard achieve in Z but would be a miniexercise in a pro app (such as SSS or ambient occlusion renders, or for that case getting a proper basemesh with edgeloops). Heads up!

:slight_smile:

EDIT: Just checked out your script. HAH! completely missed that feature up to now, many thanks for showing it!:+1: I wonder what other “hidden” features i miss lol

Winged one: So nice to see some more of your wonderful characters. I can always tell one of your characters by their luscious eyes…:smiley:

I’ve liked your work for years now, so don’t be discouraged by a faceless critic. If someone posted with negative comments, at least you could answer to them. As whoever gave this a low rating didn’t leave any comments, then it means nothing.

I love your style, so keep those babes coming. The jacket design on this one is SWEEET.

Indeed … not only did u do a great job u posted helpfull Zscripts. Great job all around. :slight_smile:

Liked your image a lot, original.
Sorry to put this in your thread.

Dedicated to the anonymous and somewhat cowardly
one star people who wouldn’t
know originality if it bit them in the ass.

Very realistic. did you rendered this hand with Zbrush ? lol

Mr. Rimasson, uploaded image of hand was originlly dropped
here sometime ago as model to work with.
Cannot give credit, because I simply forgot who posted it.
Texture is mine.
Also, was in a hurry to post response to anonymous creeps.
Did not notice your hand on top.
Wish to apologies to you for detracting from your image on top.
And for distraction from the main image in this thread.

My sentiments and answer to the “one star people” stands.
They accomplish nothing with what they do except to
make an artist who worked countless hours wonder what they
did wrong. If you leave your name at least is shows the courage
of your convictions.

Thank you for the compliment in any case.

:+1: Great work Winged One, I really like the color and the modeling is brilliant. I like the way you push ZB to its limits in ways that others don’t really explore. As for the stars issue, just ignore.

i did, the point is not what you did wrong, but what you didnt do good. If we rate this 4-5 stars, how do we rate a top row ? We cant. There schould be some balannce, im often disipointed, to go in a thread with a 3, 5 stars, and see taht it isnt eaven a good thing :confused:
Btw i like it, but i dont think its a 5 star work :]

Noooooooooo. I really like that character! I’d be concerned about a three star rating when I would expect a 5 star for my effort. But one star ratings are just troll droppings… To be ignored…

Lemo

I dont get it, everyone seemed to have a positive response? is there some hidden ratings board or something that Im not aware of?

Btw… I had an accident with a tutorial which might cheer you up:

This should have become a CHERRY TREE with XFrog hahahahahahahaha. Well… once i saw it, at least I made it red lol.
:lol:Lemo

Hey whats up dont get all shock about the star thing!
What dos it proove is it gonna get you a job?

I think your image is great and you should always push the envelloppe.
See ya!

So what do you think I could do to improve it? What do you feel is missing?

That way I know better what to look out for in the future. Sometimes it’s hard to look at our own work objectively, especially after working a long time on it.

For one thing, I think the hair could still stand to be more finely detailed.

I like the hair, and the texture on the jacket and the jacket itself are great. It’s hard to get those difference meshes placed and edited right sometimes… if your looking for some constructive crit. i would maybe like to see more detail in the face. i tend to like models that arn’t quite so “cartoony”. That, however, is obviously just personal pref. i like the the basic foundation of the charector.:+1:
