Competition #10 - weasel.acuh5o

[weasel.acuh5o]

[edit] new WIP added on 2007/07/03: clickeycklick

here's what I got so far. just a low poly, pretty messy too, so no wires yet. after optimization and the modeling of a small base I will post them.

anyway, here it goes. it's a quake 3 style ish mega health, complete with hovering wings and two snakes wrapped around it. hope the fact that they are cobras isn't too much, tried to beef up the common Rod of Asclepius. textures will be fairly simple, mostly unpainted metal.

I knew it!

Looks nice. Show some wires to see why it's so messy You need to make those things on top a lot smoother. I'd go for a more complex texturing on this if you want to have a nice entry. "Just a metal" won't do it

oh, sorry. I tend to oversimplify stuff in posts. the thing's going to be made of metal, but heavily ornamented (patterns, swirls etc... think of some handcraftet religious piece and you'll get the picture). what I meant to say it 'no paint'.

and you're right about the snakes, those are too blocky indeed. I'll look into it, once that's done I'll post the wires for the whole thing.

[bb0x]

yeah the snakes looks blocky compared to the rest...

im loking forward to seeing it all finished. it sounds cool

[weasel.acuh5o]

after finishing the high + low res for the initial design, I decided that it isn't working for me... so I decided to start over.

anyway. it's an indian (like in native american) totem, based on the remains of the raven king. or shaman. or something. and it has a raven on top of it.

excuse the rough normals and AO, still have to touch them up in ps. counting two sided polys twice it's about 20 tris short of the limit... I'll probably add those to the stones or ribs tomorrow. all of them.

edit: before I forget: the floating blob of flesh is going to look like a heart in the end. the rest is the base.

That looks awesome.

but what type of pickup is it?

[Talon]

Sup.

The feathers really add to this, man Awesome work. Great feeling of depth to it all, even though it some alphaed planes.

You should put the last 20 tris into the raven and give it wings. It being able to animate would be a really nice touch.
