why do i get the feeling there are piranha teeth behind that hood

[Fallenswordsman]

I like the character design, Davey - quick question - have you built a body under there or is it just clothing?

[PolarBear53]

Thats really cool, she looks like she should be nice.. but isn't.

Only thing I can think of is that the fingers look a lititle like french fries

[daveythegravy]

Hi everyone.

Techi: U have captured the concept for this character in that one centence, thanx.

Fallenswordsman: Yep, no need to make a body if U can't see it, hehe.

PolarBear53: Thanx, that is exactly what I am going for. Gona fix the fingers, thanx for pointing that out.


I would like to thank Pi Song for taking time out from his busy schedule to make procedurals for this character and tips on Lighting. Thanx man, you rock.

Here is my progress with a little more of the Pyro theme. Gona add a bandage and some Band Aids next, then rigging Posing and a Scene.

Looks good, question tho, did you add the flamin in afterwards or is that also in lightwave?

[Techi]

hehe!

so late i read that at bondage, then had to read it 3 times to make sure it wasnt, lol, good job it was just my tiredness.

looks a lot better with new coat finnish.

HI Everyone,

Simple: Thanx, the fire is in lightwave. I got the flame sequence free some months ago from a Digit magazine cover CD, which includes a full Alpha sequence.

Techi: Thanx, I'd turn to Dr Pepper, hehe.

I downloaded an eye Shader from DarkTree called Killer Iris, which I think is perfect for this character when she goes into a Pyro frenzy.

Damn she's starting to look evil now with those eyes - either that or she hasn't slept for a month and someone has just really peed her off. Good work, Davey.

[leroy3rd]

She single??? :p

[daveythegravy]

Hi,

Fallenswordsman: Haha, Ur funny. Thanx for the encouragement

AverageJoe: Yes, Run & Hide. She gona Burn Baby Buuuuurrrrrn, hehe.

leroy3rd: Man, shes only 5.

I am now putting together scenes in way of a story board for a short animation.

I have given the character a basic rig for poseing. I shall upgrade her rig for animation.

My intention is to practise animation in LW and Motionbuilder.

If anyone has any tips on creating animated fire/smoke with Hypervoxels, please let me know.

5??? That is MESSED UP! I'd be freaked out by an adult who was that scary... However, I must admit that I'd like to be at the modeling/texturing level that you're at. (I'm still working on the "Grassy Hill" tutorial!!!)

[daveythegravy]

Hi leroy3d,

Yes, messed up indeed. I am going through a whole series of dark characters at the moment. Have atleast 2 more worked out in my head and I'm sure that many more shall follow, hehe.

More progress to follow.
