Sumea Challenge #6 -3D- Pauli G - Challenger #23

....... sounds pretty cool.....
cant wait to see some concept drawings.......

he could bve carrying his intestines around with him in a bucket.... [:D]

lol, gota love that story.

and where did the prostitute bite? on second thoughts, dont answer that

LOL Any bite from a zombie has got to be severe but I'll leave it to your imagination I guess [:D]

He's going to drag himself around but the bucket idea sounds pretty freaky. Here's the concept. Small and lacking in detail but it's all I needed. Sorry it doesn't show much.

Polycount is about 2100 so far but it's not finished yet.
I have also setup a bone rig but it needs to be tweaked. Thx

really cool man!...[}:)]

kinda got a stylized look about it....... i love the hair.. good to see a few 'classic' horror concepts rolled into one ...
priests are a quintessential cliche in the horror genre! especially zombie ones!..... and of course...which makes it even more true to the horror genre.... is the fact he was ( i imagine )fornicating just prior to his... turn for the worst..

cant wait to see the texture and finished model.. nice hands as well.... they have life allready! [}:)]

Cool idea. Good to see you didn't go for the quite so cliched little boy...

He should look really nice once all the polys are used. Seeing as there is only half of him :)

Love the Priest idea as tojo mentioned [:D] look forward to seeing this one done!

Cool idea and good execution so far :)

Thanks for all of the comments.

Here's an update:

I think it's done. His Polycount without the cross is about 2700ish. Most things I added to the priest just looked too over-the-top and I guess I could put more detail in the face. But I figured if this was a character in a game with other full bodied creatures, he would look out of place. That's my excuse....... it's not due to half-assedness........ honest!. [}:)]

On to texturing now. Unless someone thinks I should change something about him that I've overlooked?.

I have other ideas in mind for the comp so I wanna get this one done.

Any crits are more than welcome.

something you have overlooked is that this competition has a minimum limit :P im not sure if entrants are applicable for the winning prize or whatnot if they dont meet that criteria but i imagine so (its 8 thou minimum btw)

really?... I just assumed it was 8000-8500 for the maximum limit.

Round out the limbs. You have loads of polies left to spend so I dont want to see any hard "boxy" edges. If you still have some left model in some folds. Also, put some more into the elbow joints so they will deform better.
Looks good how it is but yeah, spend some polies to polish it off :)

why not just go all out with the polys you hav a bit more to use
looks good i like the concept

Can I add - If some boss type person were giving me 8000 Tri's to build a model and 2 512x512's to texture it with, i would first contain my glee and squeels of excitement, closely followed by proceeding to use every last Triangle defining whatever the concept may be in the best way i knew how. No more no less.

Well maybe give or take a handful of Tri's [:p]

Apologies for the lack of updates, but school and work take up most of my time at the moment. I understand what you guys are saying, normally I would take full advantage of the high poly limit (and probably go over) but with this model it's different. Everytime I add more detail to it, the less appealing it looks to me.
Here's the latest update:

Got it up to 4000 polys. Some people have told me that I should model his lower body as well and have it next to him or attached by a thread of skin. So I will probably do that, but I want to get the main part textured and rigged. Any c&cs are more than welcome.

It is a shame that you aren't just adding more detail to what you already have. He would look very cool with some nice wrinkles on his shirt and so on.

Sorry for not updating. My fiance gave birth to our baby girl on the 21st. So I haven't even touched my computer since then. So here's the latest update just before my fiance went into labour.

Here's my submission:
I don't know what line you have to cross to call something photosourced. I did use textures and manipulated them. His jumper texture and the skin discolouration was found on my computer but the rest is all me. Thx all

You're missing the money shot picture!

wasn't that optional?

Congrats, you're challenger #23!

go the zombie priest, nice job mate

Love the money shot! hehe

i thought the money shot was optional aswell -_-
glad to see you did one though, looks cool :D

Thanx all.

I hope I don't get marked down because of the poly count, but he is half a character soooo technically he is right. [:D]
