That's extremely disturbing...

 

 

Anyway, the nose looks a little too big (wide) now that I take a second look.

[MoonDog]

Why does the wound on his arm looked like a stretched texture of someone on their period?

 

I'm sorry, but... x.x

 

No offense, just please edit that in the future. XD

 

You should listen to this guy Chalk. You can learn so much about skinning a model from him.

You're no fun.

At all.

You're posting black backgrounds again...

Roger that. Next ones will be more neutral

Maybe it looks funky because he has no facial expression, so it looks like he's staring into your soul.

[ChalklYne]

Nah it wouldnt be facial expession as much as it would be possibly the eyeball texture or shape of the eyes themselves. 
 

[Tempust85]

Looks as though the jaw could be in a slightly more relaxed state (just a smidge though). The eyes are the standout thing that's killing it atm, they look too wide open like he's just seen what Mr Slave did to Paris Hilton on Southpark.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

good times

[Psyk0Sith]

yet that damn head still looks funky even after 25+ attempts.  I mean...why heads giving you trouble?  Still keep up the good work.

Because the human head is a complex subject to represent, achieving likeness is even more of a challenge, i'm pretty sure there's very few people able to do that on jkhub, it takes time and lots of daily practice.

[ChalklYne]

So uhhh.. you guys are probably going to kill me.. but.. I started Starkiller over again XD

 

But all for very important reasons. So.. here is the new base topo, and a beginning of me starting to sculpt in zbrush.. I got a bit better topo going on here, in almost half of the verts that the ladt one was in, and it can be sculpted and easily brought back down to a game friendly resolution. I can also use the high res sculpt in XSI to render a really nice shadow map for him so trust me this restart was as necessary as the last hundred XD Plus, before I started really shaping it perfectly to his face, i saved a copy of just the decent topography and will be shaping it to be kotas militia members. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Futuza]

Don't really hate you, I'm actually happy.  Restarting at this point is probably a good idea since you now know what to avoid and what will work.

[ChalklYne]

Doesn't the topo seem to be flowing a bit better?

 

So this is all in a day's work so far. sculpt came out pretty decent i think i can get some good shadows off of it and apply it to this texture

 

 

 

 

[AshuraDX]

nose is at a wrong angle , lips are protruded way to far (that duckface is far too strong )

ears should be a little lower and bigger I think

 

I really like the textures though , are they photosourced and retouche din Zbrush or completely handpainted ?

[ChalklYne]

photosourced and retouched in Zbrush

 

had to get the right alignment for his lips and stuff and then pained the correct colors in. its better that way so i stay in the lines lol. and i like to kinda handpaint it too so u get these nice crisp textures like here ill zoom in a bit and u can see what i mean.. so its not as blurry photosource and its not haint painted cartoony. i cant paint for shit handpaint without some sort of base.. look what happened to kazdan lol

 

 

 

 

[Lamented]

Very nice, but it looks like he has a Dooku/Mace-cross nose, and I agree with Ashura.

[ChalklYne]

I will revisit his nose next time I open it up, thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the low poly model with textured decal on. so exactly what u would see in modview

[Lamented]

Oh dear.

No offense intended, but...

[ChalklYne]

Oh dear.

No offense intended, but...

 

Before we even start, let me go ahead and tell you how crucial your opinion is...

 

That being said, what you got for me?

 

 

 

 

 

 

990 verts

[Lamented]

Meh.

For someone with a tendency to react very badly to constructive criticism of their own work, you're offering some very non-constructive and unhelpful comments Deviance.

 

@@ChalklYne , your work continues to improve, and it's encouraging to see you're not afraid to say "You know what? Let's start over." in order to get the best results you can. Modelling a human character - and one with a very iconic, prolific look that everyone knows - is probably one of the hardest challenges a modder can take on.
