I think it's the hat. With the lighting and everything, all you really see is a silhouette of everything, as the haze sets in the background. I don't think Eustace would stand a chance in this world. Just imagine him racing in the first episode. That would be something to see. Also, I don't think Eustace smokes...

most networks aren't allowed to show cartoon characters smoking

i think the one with the guy smoking is done, what do you guys think

This is an absolutely stunning piece. The soft colors and expressions really bring this piece out and make it exceptionally pleasing to look at. This is sooooo feature worthy and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. The detail in this piece is amazing giving it a realistic feel without throwing off the fantasy of the piece. The piece has such a calming affect that it is sure to make you sigh a breath of comfort and relief. This is definitely candy to the eyes of the viewer. The soft pink is soft enough not to throw the picture off but vibrant enough to catch your attention and make you stop and view the entire piece. The whole piece gives a gentle feel; a friendly feel. Man's best friend, no? I'm not sure if this was the purpose of the piece but the best things discovered in life are usually accidents, so....

[SHADOWFOX2]

Man, I thought you really had something to say about that piece. You fooled meh

How long does it take you to make pictures of such quality? Amazing... I wish I could make pictures with as much detail.

[SHADOWFOX2]

What exactly are you using to make stuff like this?

[rtil]

i do a sketch then i usually do the whole thing in photoshop . i don't know how long it takes me, if i had to guess i'd say most of a day

[Nadroj0711]

i still think the guy's head looks like a rectangle

[rtil]

well, here's something different. 3d turnaround for an assignment : create a character with a max of 1500 tri's (polys). this is EXTREMELY low, we're talking like before dreamcast standards. she's made of 1,448 tri's. she's not textured yet, but this is what she looks like so far. she'll look a lot better with the textures

why would you ever need to use less than 1500 polygons

its good for what it is but damn

i don't think it's so much the possible need to use low polies as it's that they want you to really push your concepts and be able to convey with with as little info as possible rather than rely on an assload of tris and end up with overpolished boring graphics like you'd find in Halo. To me the idea to to force you to think really hard on your designs and decide what is neccesary and what is extra pointless garbage.


Anyway, it looks great rtil. Love the huge feet.

[rtil]

a lot of game engines for small startups can't really push a lot of polys to begin with ( i mean it's not like everyone's developing next-gen games), but mrat is also correct. they want to make sure we are able to push the most important details of a figure with a limited amount of resources.

I like the boots a lot.

[SHADOWFOX2]

Love the feet. What size are they exactly?
I'm telling you rtil, whenever you decide to make shoes, I want in
