| (Sorry for bad screenies, I rendered it in blitz) UPDATE: Textures finished   |
| ||
| looking good. now you need entitycolor troll,0,255,0 |
| ||
| It's a good start but I'm not too thrilled with the feet. Also, if I were you I'd exaggerate the proportions more. Expand the forearms (think Popeye) and hands, generally lengthen the arms, bulk up the shoulders, thicken the neck, and hunch the spine a little. Make that nose even larger and more bulbous. Generally add bulk and beat him with the ugly stick. At the moment it looks like you're working from a base human torso. Here's my advice: imagine what the models looks like in silhouette. If the silhouette doesn't scream "troll!" then you need to rework the proportions and posture. Or think of it this way, if you saw its shadow cast upon a wall, would you think "that's a troll!" or "that's a man with a big nose!"? |

| Thanks mtnhome3d JustLuke, thanks for your honest comments. While I agree with you on some aspects, I must say it's not a troll. Troll-ish doesn't describe what I want to achieve with this actually. Allright I must be honest, I copied from this a bit;  After completing this dude, I tweaked the body a bit and I'm modelling the head from scratch. I'll also add details once the head is finished so it will be totally unique from the one in reference. It's just a starting point. |
| ||
| Ah, I see. Ok. I still don't like the feet though. :p |
| ||
| looks like he'd get massive foot cramps fast. |
| ||
| yeah, standing like that seems very not evil. |
| ||
| That's Nightcrawler from the X-Men. |
| ||
| It won't stand like that, it's just the reference. In animation his knees will be bent. Any more crits about the model? |
| ||
| Updated screenies |
| ||
| it looks sorta ork/goblin-ish now |
| ||
| Yeah, you liked it? |
| ||
| The texture needs work. It's patterned but it isn't shaded. Take a look at your reference pic, see the way that muscles, grooves, creases and contours are defined by light and shadow? That's what your texture lacks. Without these things, it looks very flat and plain. |
| ||
| NIGHTCRAWLER.X-MEN.DO I MAKE SENSE???? LOL |
| ||
| the nose is sort pointy on the bottom and his toes are funny looking, more so than they should be. |
| ||
| Looks good man |
| ||
| Looks OK but the arms and legs are proportionally wrong. NIGHTCRAWLER.X-MEN.DO I MAKE SENSE???? No. |
| ||
| still don't like the feet :P |
| ||
| The texture needs work. It's patterned but it isn't shaded. I totally agree, I must admit I suck at texturing. But I can send the uv map to anyone who is willing to help :D NIGHTCRAWLER.X-MEN.DO I MAKE SENSE???? LOL No. The body is modelled from night crawler reference, so? Looks OK but the arms and legs are proportionally wrong. It's modelled just as the reference. What are the correct proportions of a fantasy "made-up" model? It is not a realistic model, take a look at world of warcraft's character proportions. Thanks everyone for honest comments. |

I think fantasy characters/creatures look nice with overexaggerated features, especially facial features. For a troll, something like this looks quite good...  |
| ||
| I forgot to mention that I'm working solo as a coder mainly, this one was my second complete organic model yet. I think It wouldn't be arrogant to say that I model better then MDickie. |
| ||
| I like it body looks fine maybe a bit more weight would really pull it off. I would say that the only down point is the Head in relation to the body topology, it looks faded and its shape isnt that apparent.. ..Fixes 1. Make features more pronounced maybe pull the ears to a more visable angle 2. Review the Head Scale might Look better Larger or Wider 3. Consider the Texturing of the Head changing the detail level would help by adding shades and tones bring out those features. Start Making them in Chibi style so i can pinch them for my Tactics Game :) GoodWork |

| Comming on nicely, although my first thought rather than troll, would be a tall goblin or mabe a non-warrior orc (ie orc-shaman) |

| Comming on nicely, although my first thought rather than troll, would be a tall goblin or mabe a non-warrior orc (ie orc-shaman) Thanks, I was inspired by the WoW trolls a bit too. (You know, they are tall and thin too)  |
| ||
| MUCH better! |
| ||
| You mean the last one I posted? Hehe, it's the troll model in World of Warcraft, I didn't model that one. |
| ||
| oh, that makes you a noob :P |
| ||
| I didn't understand, why should that make me a noob? |
