cool thanks for that again steve... very clean scene i see lol, except for that high poly pole but i love highpoly stuff even when i shoudnt soo not fuss (i always add extra geometry or lines etc to my stuff for some reason because when i go into wireframe i love seeing alot of lines and that for some strange reason )

marlon

Cheers Marlon,

The poles silly high on that shot, like I said its getting re-done.

I like to try and keep my base's quite low, makes it a lot easier to modify, change flows etc if I need to without messing about too much and wasting time.

Cheers

I like the skull! How did you make it? did you use image planes?

Sparticus

P.S. We have the same name. That's cool.

Expect to excell...

Cheers for the Comment Sparticus.

I made the skull using some imagepalens from google witha bit of an edit in photoshop (so that they were both in proportion)

I made it using polygons just box modeled the skull then the Jaw then the teeth, that about it really, using the same principles that you would for a head.

having a bit of a headache with the robe at the moment though.

Well after some head scratching I managed to get a bit of time to have a play about in Z brush with the robe, as you can see it looks very messy in some places as I was getting the tool settings right, but thought I'd post it up just so you guys know I've not given up!

But the part on the neck looks strange. too thin I think

Well i've got to redo it as I for got to save the Zbrush tool of the cloak that I was working on!

Gster123, I think adding a few thick folds on the sleeves and body would add alot more style to the cloak.

Yeah your right THX, thats the plan for the next one, just gathering some references at the mo, might have to sit in my bath robe all weekend just so I know how it will go!

Well restarted the cloak, jsut gettin the main creases and folds in at the moment, keeping an eye on the overall look at the moment.
