Looking good brother!

[loraine_howard_iii]

Thanks Fonx32, I added a reply to your thread.

I noticed my character was to dull , messing around with saturation and levels brings the character out more. I plan on making these changes probably not as saturated. Also I will tone down the metal and make it more pristine . My material separation needs more work.

[grigouips]

I'm totally fan of the lower half... Love the shapes and materials on legs, forearms and abdomen... Like really love them ! I think i also like top shapes, but it may be a question of materials, texture, color... I don't know. This said, this character is one of my favs, in probably the most unique. Please more.

[loraine_howard_iii]

Hey grigouips, you're right about the upper half. I'm still trying to get the material separation right. So far this has been the most annoying step to figure out but I will get it right soon. Thanks for you honest opinion, I really appreciate it!

[sarakawa]

This is a pretty crazy awesome design. I have to say that some of the spackling texture just reads as noise to me...maybe there is a way to group it or fade it so it makes more sense? I dunno, just spitballin'

[maxloegler]

I like the desaturated verion better, but i'm just a fan of desaturation
Great work!
I wouldn't use such a strong DOF.

[fantasymaster]

Yeah I agree with @maxloegler. He looks so shiny, like a may bug. Desaturation could help. Otherwise amazing work.

[engcenti]

Awesome chara design and colors! Which texturing/rendering software are you using ?
I agree with @maxloegler and @fantasymaster too, maybe an in-between desaturation level ?

[loraine_howard_iii]

Sarakawa-99: Thanks man, how have you've been? Are you in the competition too? I totally agree with you about the dust, I toned it down.

maxloegler: Thanks Max, I decided to go with a in between version of my paintover

fantasymaster: Hey Fantasymaster, I toned down the roughness and deleted some of the metal pieces to make it less noisey.

engcenti: I appreciate your comment, I'm using Substance for texturing and Toolbag 3.

[loraine_howard_iii]

Hey guys, I decided to go for a more in between variation with more yellow's. I still have a lot more to do. I plan on tweaking the metal collar shader more, adding fur, add the rings, skulls and other small changes. Afterwards I will start on the pedestal

[loraine_howard_iii]

Another update

-The design in the gold collar and gold spikes are temp. I slapped it together to see if I like it or not, I plan on re sculpting it to make it cleaner.

-Also I need to add more geo in the green leather straps hanging from the skulls, right now it's too flat.

There's several other small changes I want to make as well. I will fix these changes in the next couple days and prepare an environment. My tri count is 280k

[loraine_howard_iii]

Color correction pass, I plan on going in this direction. Today I should be done with the model!

[maxloegler]

This looks so freaking nice! The colors are getting better and better!

[briandolan89]

zayummmnnn looking sick!

[itseffindan]

that's a wild design man, cool materials/textures as well. Looking forward to that finish!

[loraine_howard_iii]

Maxloegler- Thanks man glad you like it, Not sure about you but I need a break after this.

-briandolan89- Thanks Brian

itseffindan- I appreciate the the kind words, looking towards the finish to so I can finally chill. Juggling this and work is kinda tough the past two months.

[loraine_howard_iii]

update on the environment , just need to get the camera angle right.

[engcenti]

Nice ambience!
If I may suggest maybe scale-up on Y axis the top rock on the left to detach the silhouette of the horns and to get a wider feeling of this cave.

[briandolan89]

God damn! Thats a crazy environment! This is going to look so good when its all done.
