Started the model base, 42% done:

dragon, wings and the other details will come next

 

[SA_Gohan]

@GokuSSj: Looking good. Watch how you add your details though. Those spikes coming off the bottom of the chest armor could use some further fleshing with actual modelling of the shapes, instead of a single triangle plane and zero thickness.

 

[Goku[SSJ]]

Thanks

Guess I'm almost done with the model, 100 tris till the 6000 limit, so a crazy dragon blade need to come somehow

going to leave the wings simple and let the texture do the rest same for the dragon teeths to recover a few more polys since the dragon took me a lot.

looks pretty cool man.

working on the low poly mesh, gonna completely remake the head i think...

 

[SA_Gohan]

finally got started on the model

 

[movento]

SA Gohan;really good model as usual, but i just think it's way to cartoony.This ain't an anime competition,it's a goddammned Dominance War!
(yes it's a lame joke, i've been hearing to much FOB lately o_o )

 

[Almighty_Gir]

remodeled head, used my own as a reference.

 

[ShadyD]

is it just me or are you slightly cross-eyed?
Either way, much better man!

 

[SA_Gohan]

@movento: True. But realism isn't my native style, and if I go for it my chances change from more than likely to lose, to definitely going to lose ^^;

@Mad_Ax: Much more suited to the body now. I can't wait to see how you get down the hair =D

[4800 polygons]

 

[Almighty_Gir]

i'm in love with your style o_o

 

[PiXel]

indeed its great. really love how its comming out.

mad_axman, maybe try to get a loop from the nose to the chin down. looks nice.

movento, this year dominancewar has no style limitation, you can do either b&w cartoon ,what ever.

update,2:
head fixed, redid the normal map, thoughts?

​

me lovin normalmaps

 

[Almighty_Gir]

quick (very) colour overlay to show the kinda thing i'm going for...

 

[PiXel]

texturing:

 

[movento]

Tryforce,looks pretty cool.did you make the normal maps in zbrush/mudbox?
i like the face,reminds me of ghost rider =o.The only problem i see is that your diffuse map is washing out your normal map.Keep working on it Mr " Pimpin' ain't easy "

 

[Goku[SSJ]]

thanks, yours looking good too just give it more details
nice idea of using your own head as reference, maybe I should use mine too hehe


Anyway need to stop my progress for now a new request has been made so I need to work on a Jerusalem level model
going to start texturing the fellow in weekend which will be pure realistic
the texture for the wings will be of a dragon, the half of the face neck and a bit of body will have a different skin like an acid blood or something, didn't thinked at the rest yet

pixel I know you can texture better then that so common man

 

[Almighty_Gir]

if it's his first time working with a normal map to generate shadows, then his texturing will suffer a bit.

indeed :-\

anyway not much more done but abit, going to sleep now.

movento, i used lightwave never changed with this model to any program.... though you see its quite detailles

thanks gokussj:

 

[Goku[SSJ]]

np, looks much better but I see your going more to a anime style, your going for cartoonie?

Anyway just to bump this thread to say that I'm still alive to the contest
finished faster what I was working at by huring up (128x128 all textures, 12000 triangles)

and started the head texture, still a heavy wip, right now is simmetry and has no details also the mask is not textured so I hide it
and not sure what to do with the hair color so I tried one red and one white to light blue, still need to work a bit the hair map
and think what is best to suit him which is quite a pain...

hope more ppl from here is active to the war

 

[SA_Gohan]

I personally like the bluish white one more. Gives more of a contrast against the skin
The eyes in both versions look a tad unreal though. Mostly because you can see the full circle of the iris unless a person has the eyes wide open. Try enlarging them a tad and see if that gives you a result you like.
