Very Nice progress Swankmonkey!

:bow:

palpa, are you still working on your entry?

For got give Swankmonkey a bow aswell. :bow:

Thanks for all the nice comments!

The specularity and reflections on the eye were done by mapping a painted texture in the ambient attribute of a lambert and then compositing it in PS. I've really only started to get into render layers and don't really feel like I know what I'm doing but damn they are cool!

Jay- Dude, you read my mind on the lighting and specularity.

Thanks for the crit on the hair and eyebags Arran. Its always good to hear when things look strange.

Cheers!

Dave

Hey Dave

Its my job to do these things to keep you on the right path...LOL

Its a great job Dave, are you going to give it a background image of any sort or keep it as 'white space'?

Cheers Dude

Oh well. I guess Im not finishing mine then. :p


But looking forward to seeing whats coming up for the next challenge.

Jay- I haven't really thought much about a background:shakehead

I'm also a bit annoyed with myself for not modeling more of the chest and shoulder area. I thought for a while about creating a wooden wall mount to make it appear as if it were a stuffed head.

Anyone have any constructive thoughts?

Dave

Palplastudios, were'nt you working on a fox or dog like animal?

I know what you mean swankymonkey - i was considering quickly building a rough shoulder shape for my model, but there isn't much time... Perhaps you could have him bashing through a wall or something, or maybe that idea is dumb.

Your model is looking amazing by the way - definitely one of my favourite in the contest. Great work

Maybe add a hint of Shoulders in PS during post then blur it to fake DOF

Jay

THX- No, neither one of those animals. I thought about joining this contest but work was to crazy at the time.

When I was contemplating doing something, I was thinking of doing a baby emperor penguin.

But alas poor Urik, I did not do it.

Like I said before though, work has let up and I am looking forward to the next contest. :attn:

Palpastudios, for some reason I was confusing you with Legolas_hv, sorry for the confusion.

come on dave, get that entry in!
