May/June - Norm - Falott
 

underwater sounds interesting!! and creature means organic modeling, which I like the very most.

alltho I´d very much like to call myself noob, I guess after a couple of months working with maya it´s fair to make a norm entry.

count me in! and hopefully I´ll finish whatever it´ll be. maybe I take my WIP and make a mermaid out of her. but I guess that would be illegal.

Underwater Creature

deliberating....

maybe it´s going to be a anglerfish holding his lamp into the camera with body vanishing in the dark or something. might be a good basis for subtle lighted scene in the deep dark. but a transparent-skinned fish would be funny as well.

-- edit--
or a anglerfish inside an transparent-skinned fish lightning him.

:/

ok, I started boxmodeling the fish using one side ref pic. have no top view but those fishes as I found on the net have a very thin tail and a round body like a plate.

nice ref

thx
that´s it for tonight. it´s late. last update on the fish.

Looks great so far . . man you guys don't waste any time ;)

Cheers

it's 2nd of may today which means outdoor swimming pools are open! 29 'C hot and whilst lying in the sun I thought about to vary the scene a little. not quite sure if I'm able to realize my idea, but I want to give the fish a cartoony style. a very old anglerfish in a rockingchair with glasses on her/his nose reading in a dusted book. the scene will be lit from the lamp on the end of the fishing rod. try to make a scetch of it now.


------- edit -----

I cannot draw.

well, the cartoon plan died. I must have been a total idiot to believe I could model something like that in maya. so I´ll just stick to the fish itself for now and see what happens.

Not falowing really well but what couldn't you model in maya ? The fish looks great so far. Good mouth on it.

:) read the posting befor the one with the pictures :)

the shape of this monkfish changed a bit. the fish on the ref pic had too less of a "deep see appearence". there are the freakiest styles of those anglerfishes, so I decided to create one which is so darn ugly, doomed to live in the deepest dark of the sea.

finally finished the fins.

and the wire.
