SpittleBone from Castlevania "Symphony of the night"
 

Here is a little model I am working on too practice. I just started texturing, and it is at 263 tris... the texture right now is 512, but I am gonna size it down to as small as possible...

So anyway, I will post a wire up too..

The texture isn't anywhere near done yet

I am thinking of doing a whole series of models from this game, because I have beaten it at least 30 times in my life, and it is my favorite game. I get inspired whenever I play it... so yeah, I may do more
Also here is what the original looked like

Ok, here is the wire:

Here is the texture so far and the UV map...
I am getting alot better at UVing and texturing, which is good, because I used to be even worse than I am now, haha

looks cool man, i can definately see that you're getting better at texturing
:beer:

I THINK I am finished with this model, but I am not positive.
Crit and Comment please... I need it, haha
Also, as I said, I want to model more from this game, so if you want, you can go HERE and tell me what you would want to see in low-poly....
also, VERY CRAPPY TURNTABLE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HavWn9QgUMM
anyway, here goes:

Merman and Gaibon!!!


looks great man kutgw i got no crits:beer:

nice job joopson and great idea for a project. :)

definitely got to do merman - and maybe warg. and bloody zombie... and diplocephalus... and ouija table!!.... oujia board, oujia board, would you work for me?... sorry. :blush:

haha, I like the reference. its an amazing song...
I think I will do the merman first... Would be good practice.... I will start it sometime soon

Ok, I made a decision...
I am gonna do ALL OF THESE in a month to see if I can.
In whatever order I please starting with the Merman, I guess...
So yeah, I will start on Monday February 23, and will hopefully end on Monday, March 23rd!
After that, I want to make a little scene with these too, so I may model an Environment if I get bored or stuck, haha

P.S. There are 17, and there are 29 days until then.... which means I need to do .5862 of a model every day to get it done... I think I can handle that.

lol dont forget that means you have to do 0.5862 of a texture and uving per day too so basically you gotta model and uv a model each day then texture the next day :bandit:

good luck:beer:

Yeah, But I think I will be able too..... I will start the merman tonight!

ugh.. sorry for the 2 day delay. I haven't had much time to work on it. I am now though, and I will tomorrow. and hopefully I will finish atleast the model by tomorrow or friday

does this mean you aren't continuing with the cityscape challenge?

i'll hold you to your word, if you fail then... well i can't really do anything :p

haha... I forgot all about the cityscape thing, but I guess so, haha....
I will do this though. If I don't, I give you permission to..... Email me a mean word, haha....

So anyway, I am working on it right now, so I may post an update tonight... Meaning thursday night, as I haven't made enough progress tonight, haha

fail.

now you're gonna have to power model to make up for lost time:bandit:

Not a good start on this project... you already lost 3 days, so you can forget about that .5862 models a day now....

I know, but hey, Life gets busy sometimes.
so anyway, I made ALOT of progress tonight with the merman and I am almost done modeling. Just arms left, and then tweaking it until it looks right,

Don't worry, don't worry, I am chipping away at it. As soon as I get a little free time I will really start crankin'... Already UVing this...

5 days between that and your prior post and taht's all you've done?? :p

Hey, I have been busy lately, haha...

I am going to update this weekend, and maybe sooner, but School has been awful lately.. Also I have just been all-around busy. Either way, updates soon enough...

Ok, sorry everyone, this week has been hell for me, and I am delaying this until I get everything cleared up.
thanks for understanding,
-Andy

So what is it now? Like 3 models a day? :p

lol leave the poor guy alone! Even if it is delayed... :P Look forward to your stuff i enjoy seeing low poly stuff.

Haha, very funny... Actually, it was funny, :)
But anyway, thanks BigTommyB.
So anyway, I will try to start this back up as soon as possible. Probably in a week or so, unless I am mistaken

ok, so I got everything sorted out, so I will start this up again this weekend
thanks for the patience :)
-Andy

i suppose you should extend your deadline by the same amount of time you were gone?
*10 points if you finish by your set time :p

Yeah, sounds like a good idea....... so add 6 days to the original date... which I believe is..... the 29th.... Might as well round it up to the 31st, haha.... cool?

So anyway... Like I said, I will start this back up on Friday...

-Andy

sorry, no tangible updates yet. I have been trying to sort out the UV map, and its killing me, haha....
I need the practice though, so I will probably post the UV's soon

here is the finished UV.

Starting texturing tomorrow, and MAYBE finishing it, but only maybe...

I am going to sleep now...

14 days and still 17 left to do
that email is getting closer to being sent :p

but otherwise, nice to see you're still progressing, sucks when life intervenes with our plans

haha, geez...... Umm... fine, Am I allowed to call-off the end time and just finish them whenever I can? I think that would be more likely for me, haha
I need the practice, and thats what this is for.
so yeah, no timeline, I will just finish them ASAP..
cool?

Update later with start of texture

hahaha, well, it's your own challenge, so you can do whatever you want ;)

ok, some basic colors here... I fixed alot of issues with the normals too

ugh, Forgot the picture, haha...
(Even after all my time here, it happens)

Started blocking out the fins and teeth and stuff,,,, the eye is very temporary though, as I hate it. haha
tell me what you think so far

cool - i like him - good colors so far, tho it might be nice to see some scales or something. :)

He will have scales, like I said, it is VERY WIP right now, I have only spent a few minutes on it so far. More this week, maybe tomorrow or something

Also, just to show the UVs, (I am getting better! yay!)
here is the model with a UV-ish texture

Ok, updated the eyes and did the mouth... I will probably work on the eyes more though, I am not sure....
so anyway, more updates sometime soon:ninja:

Still Kickin'
