Gnome Arthas strikes back.
 

Hello all! I am back in action in the world of 3D. During about 2 years i made one model in 3D... witch isent verry good.

But now i decided to come back and look for new inspiration. My first project would be Gnomish.

I spent lots of time on WoW (Thuralyon server for all that care).
And i must say gnomes are cute.

The following part will be geeky. For all you who people who played the games, ready the stories, played the Rollplaying game and so on know about Arthas... how he became corrupt and so on, and beckame the ultimate evil litchking... jada, jada, jada. SO, my toguh is, WHAT would happend if the main character was a gnome? What would happen if a gnome named Lef, or Olof picked up the sword Frostmourn? ...i guess nothing would have happend exept he would have looked verry funny.

My idea is to make a gnome. Then make Arthas Death-Knight Armor and put it on the gnome.

So here we go, big project.

(last project i spent 2 years on, then i got a total computer crash, nothing left and the backup disk i had it on was unreadable... so lets hope it dosent happen again)

This is Arthas, and yes. I boguht the toy figure.

so.. i opend WoW, created a new figure, stripped him and took some pictures. Oh yea, move that gnome body *klick, klick*

Ok, i will now start with the face... place the pictures of 'front' and 'back' in the background.

I will start with the face as i always do. So here we go.

(dosent he look sexy?)

ok, face is under modeling now... 2 houers passed. Time goes fast when you are in Modeler.

The lesser nice parts in the face i hope to fixe after the head is done. Change it so it wont be so... symmetric.

oh well :)

ok, here we go... this is how far i have come.

Nice to see you back, Voices :)

The model seems to be coming along fine so far - I can't really see anything to crit about it. I'll be watching to see how it develops.

Indeed it has :). I have an uppdate, i havent attached the ears to the head yet, but this is allitle "teaster"... gee, that sounds lame. :D

well, here it is.

i fixed the ears... better to have this picture up :)

yey... got the head prity good now :)

He got to have teth :)

now i have been working for 3 houers

There we go. I forgot to set it Doublesided so you can se though the teth, but it took 25 minutes to render so i will put it up as it is :).
now i got Body, Eyes and texturing to do... wonder if i am gona make him with pants on. I know Dwarf and Gnomes build things verry big, they might be compensating, so..hmm.. i just make him with underwear so we dont have to think about that.

gnome Powaaa... body parts, here we go.

Hmm... if i dident know better i'd say it is soon time to start on armor :).

I guess he will be done for texturing tomorow... now i will go to bed, been sitting with this one for over 4 houers.

If you got any tips, feel free to write them down :D

Good to have you back Voices! Nice start on the gnome.
I played WoW for about 3 months on the Illidan server but decided to stop since it was too addicting. My friend on the other hand has been playing it since it's debut :alien:
Anyway hope this turns out awesome :beer:

good thing you had self controll to do that, me on the other hand dont :D.

The first week i almost forgot the eat... i mean, i could eat in game ;D

now... to connect the legs with the body in a....hmm... humane way :)

It's really starting to take shape now...awesome :bow:

Dude, if you're really going to bother to model THAT kind of connection...(and on a gnome no less) I'd have to kick your ass :D

hmmm... true... i think i will just install a urin drain, the one you get if you lose you...umm... private parts in a accident.

hmm... naa, i better put on pants.

Yes, just put shorts on him real quick and you won't have to worry about it :)

That's been for a while i saw you here the last time.
Nice to see you back.

Model looks good so far.

i made some hands... hmm... i never were good at making hands... but i belive they will be... ok for now. :). And yes, gnome has 3 fingers... at least the model does.

now i need to find some good textures to work with. but first... feet i belive.

I made a UV map to the face... hope i get the rest of the body. But for now lets pretend he has a verry, verry tight pajamas..... verry tight.

so. what do you think?

ooh.. my girlfriend Emma tought the eyes were to big and the collor should be green.. so here is a now one.

I am back with some more uppdates. I think he looked to femenin and i remade the face texture with a more pale bluish look. :D

The arms was just a temporary texture bug, i fixed that :)

ok, he is now textured, and modeled. I just made some facial expressions to have something to play with.

well, here he is, feel free to comment on what to do.

btw... i need to make a chainmail shirt for him, anybody got any idea how to do that in a practical way?

Looks awesome voices:beer:
The one thing that was there before in the images and in the new one is the eyebrows. Looks feminin as if he tweaks them regularly :D Make them thicker all around and that should look even better.
...then again i may be wrong.

The eyebrows is onlytemporary :D. When the model is compleatly done i will put on Sasquatch :D. White stripey hair and bigger eyebrows. :)

On the model i will put the plate mail... but in the middle and around the belt you can se the Chain mail... so what to do, either make a polygon based mail... ouch... OR make a texture and some bumps. If you got any bright idas, feel free to write them down :D
