I had the image of the final frames in my head to begin with, and I like the lines. I am tempted to make it so that the soldiers don't appear on flat ground though.

sere, I agree with the pacing thing now that you mention it. The text especially needs to be timed better I reckon.

Annoyingly my group decided not to put these animations into our first review submission because it was obvious that i'd just done them. Sometimes I hate group work

Oh and T, the weird lines of the flowers are due to my complete inability to translate images in my brain into lines in flash, tried with mouse, tried with tablet, gave up and drew squiggles

Thanks for explaining, Sere. All in all I can just say great work. That character is better than a lot of pro work from what I can see. Keep at it and you'll carve yourself a bright future!

And Jiv, those are really nice! Not sure I get the second one (and aye on the pacing), but the first one is lovely. I would probably have had each soldier transform into a cross instead of altering the number though...would make it more apparent that it is the soldiers who die, and it not just being a scene change.

) I will be doing my best, Sent. But please, if there is something technical you can see on the maps that look disturbing, I would really like to know Want to try to avoid making the same mistakes twice.

An attempt on Trynian.



Tardon from the Horde asked me to make two drawings as contest prizes for an upcoming Copenhagen RL meet. I will be printing both on A4 glossy photo paper. Here's the finished one, for a drinking contest:

I like the colors you put into the drinking contest image Acrona

And I have an idea ;P This goes out to Acrona and Sentallia :] I don't think that I'm gonna be doing very much this late spring / summer and I really need to keep my 3d skills up to shape before I start looking for internships this coming autumn. So maybe one of you could come up with a character concept with me and design it and I'll do my best in turning it into 3d :] I think it could be pretty fun.

And here's my latest work in the 3d world:



It has some pretty big flaws in it, but still, I am quite proud
It was made for a challenge between the 3d educations here in sweden and we had about 4 weeks in total to pull it off. In which two weeks were lost in trying to figure out the concept for the character. And during the two weeks that I actually worked on the character model I was quite busy with a game project during school hours. Two weeks of pure madness..
Anyway, our guideline was "It came from a nightmare" And a little girl is also involved in the guideline, hehe. So I thought that I'd use her mother in some terrefying way, and that's pretty much what I ended up with.
A total of around 7900 triangles were used on this one and the use of various 2048x2048 texture maps.

Flaws? You have a girl's head on a big freaking nightmare snake thing!

Oh...that was the idea? *grins sheepishly*

It's a good piece! Hope to see a lot more of your work

I like the creature's colour scheme, and the combination of snake/grasshopper limbs. The area behind her head where the hair fades, confuses me though. Does the hair sink into the dark collar flap behind her? I think the darkness (shadowed?) of the object flattens it.
Butbut, I think the design is very cool and frightening, I can almost feel her tentacles wimpling... I'm eagerly waiting for your next product.

Also, a tempting proposal you made for Sent and me, I think I will try to come up with something...

Made for the Copenhagen server meet (a quiz contest prize, I think Denaraothai won it)


Something quick-ish

I agree, the area where the hair is supposed to get desaturated and turn into something else than hair got a little fecked. I was aiming for something like hair fading into some black void-like "fabric" or something. But having a completely black material that doesn't react at all to any lighting what so ever was a bad idea. So I'll try and do something different with it And this time I have the time for it ;D

If you decide to come up with a concept, please let me know before you put too much work into it ^^ Simply because some things might be too hard for me to make

And damn you are massproducing stuff for the copenhagen meetings ^^ Awesome stuff though

Looks nice, Sere. I agree with Acro on the hair though. Whatever it is you aimed for, it just ends up looking strange, I must admit. I suggest working that over some more since right now it mostly confuses. Other than that I miss some more aggressive specular lighting and some more "random" in the texture. Overall it looks too clean, I think.

As for making you a concept...anything in particular you had in mind? Any genre you would prefer?

I gave the hair some more love yesterday so the pitch black is pretty much gone. :] Think it turned out alot better I'll post her again as soon as I've done another run at the other textures aswell ^^ Thanks Sent and Acro

And as for genre.. I like "Ghost in the Shell" sci-fi and Unreal / Gears of Wars and some of the usual fantasy stuff. I could probably come up with more specific ideas if you don't have any lying around that you would like to see made in 3d. If you do decide to make me one, can I turn to you for input and critique as I work?

My retired trollette, Syreen the shamanic dancer! The character was inspired by South Indian belly dancing and Rhythmic Gymnastics. :}



Shame the hooky shape of her nose doesn't show very well due to the angle..

Very cute! A strong feeling of grace and elegance and movement.

Thanks T!

Good light work around the eyes.

I like the male on that picture Acrona
But the corner of the female mouth looks a little odd. A little like smudged lipstick I think. Might be just me though
I like how she really lifted her shoulders in that cute and happy way too ^^
