CG Magus - 3d Art
« on: April 22, 2008, 07:09:23 pm »
EDIT - Latest Update:
Here's what I got after many test renders and some post compositing of different renders, please let me know if you think something is too dark, too bright, whatever:

Hi-Res:


Med Res:


Let me know what you think!

Original Post:






Began the re-do of the magus project (originally located as part of the CG R66Y thread). Posting it here because I believe the artistic direction will be better than on other CG sites/boards.

I've been doing some basic modeling and would like feedback about everything, specifically how you would want the face to look. I've re-done the face/proportions from the last model and like it better, but i wanna know what you think.

After looking at these pics I think I need to work on the nose/cheek/jaw area

Don't hold back!

Looks like a great body-build to work from. Can't wait to see where you take it from here! :)

Ha, been workin on the pants and ran across a neat lookin wool look. I think ill keep workin on it to make it look more like cotton pants (also tossing the idea of givin him denim jeans around), but thought id share (dont mind the blown out background):

Ah, I was wondering when he'd have pants. :lol:

The model you're using for pants reference is just about perfect, I think.

Damn,

I hate when I submit stuff and people don't critique it but I seriously don't have the knowledge to make any critiques to this...If I was more familiar with 3D graphics I'd give you criticism but due to my ignorance.....

Looks perfect  :D

Keep it up you got some mad skills.

Thanks a lot guys for the support guys, appreciate it.
Even if you don't know much about 3D if you see anything wrong like chin too large, legs too short , pants wierd color, dont be afraid to speak up, I will try to change it to make it look like what you guys would want to see a CG magus to look like. The biggest thing I've noticed while comparing my work to reference is actually the length of the legs, it seems like magus' legs are abnormally long in the reference, while im trying to keep him a bit more anatomically correct in my version (although I have lengthened them quite a bit since the last version).

Scythe is made of pure win.

I'm torn on the cape.
Cotton is cool, but I'm curious what a silky style cape would look like.
