beautiful work … great effort

[Darukin]

Thanks again guys.

I updated this one last time.

One version has rain effects and other one doesnt, not sure which is better or which to keep though.

In any case I just post both and call it a day I guess.

Thanks all. I think i’ll just call it finished for now.

[Gumpshmee]

Yeah, this needs to be on the top row.

Interesting style, the rain image is the better, as the one without rain looks plastic-ish. I do love the bad juju this fella is working up!

To help you focus attention, the dark ares should be darker in both scenes, it will help ‘pop’ things out.

Fantastic job, great model and image !

[Darukin]

Alright final fixes based on some critiques from here and there.

Firstly left foot toe was too huge, secondly lighting and contrsast had problems etc and I just made few fixes and adjustments and this I hope is ultimate final. Sorry if I’m being annoying always going back and forth with this lol. I decided version with rain is the better one definitely

[Devijinn]

Nice one!

I love the fiery effects with the blade and voodoo doll lol.

Really cool !

[Shames]

great job

[Capital_G]

awesome! the tweaks really set it off, did you create the rain in photoshop?

[Darukin]

Thanks everyone

And yeah the rain I did in photoshop, it was actually a really fast technique, if you want a tutorial I could post it here maybe.

[Capital_G]

A quick little tutorial would be fantastic! you rock Darukin

[Darukin]

Hi, ok here goes Capital G:

Rain Tutorial (Photoshop): Right, with your image, first create a new layer. In this new layer, with just the default black fore color and white back color selected, press the Filter -> Render -> Clouds button. [] Also, depending on what you want you can adjust other such values here to your satisfaction but these are the main ones. Then, using this brush, and with your layer set to an opacity approximately between 50 and 60 %, and a small brush size, start painting against surfaces, making it more clear on surfaces that need it such as metallic surfaces etc. This brush gives a rain bounce and spray effect. Play around with it, changing brush size here and there, settings, playing with blend modes being creative etc. And that’s all there is to it. Easy, no? I hope this helps and I hope it’s not a bad technique. If something's not clear please let me know.

Wicked!!! top marks and a choc-chip cookie for you Darukin, the rain splash technique is awesome,
I might make a blizzard style sculpt in my showreel for an internship, thanks for the inspiration, im gonna be watching for more works from you!

[Darukin]

Lol thanks for the cookie!

I’m glad it helped and thanks for the kind words. And good luck with your showreel sculpts.

very nice final composite! well done over all!

[Darukin]

Hi all I know this thread’s so old but I am just revisiting an old character which I thought has potential, one of my favorite 3D characters that I created and I made a few fixes based on crits and removed rain which was killing the image.

Darukin not sure how I missed this …I like it! Defiantly like it better with out the rain

[Dryn]

nice one man, he’s got some style

I actually think I prefer the one with rain, but I also think you could do with some variation in his colours, like on his skin mainly

[The_Namek]

I liked it with the rain also, although some details got lost and colors got a bit too strong in it, the image felt more as a whole and the background felt better integrated. The lower image quality of the background wasn’t as noticable because of the rain layers, it is now. Composition issues aside , I love the model

[Darukin]

Thanks guys glad you like

Lol now Im confused, half people say rain is better half say it isn’t (some said it’s killing the image that’s why) but that’s why I’m gonna have to go with what I feel I like more in the end and I’m gonna go with no rain:

anyhow here is basically a more final iteration without rain (I fixed large toe made it smaller, fixed wrist size and slightly the skin ton variation but it is cartoony anyway, and I tried to blend it mroe with bg)

thanks to all of you who commened and supported me along the way!
