Lord Velz'Kan's portrait. (Vampire Paladin)

i found the pandas wrap scary... and it pissed me off that i cant make his keg see-through, so i dicided to make another firt before i'm doing the panda... but i need to do a panda, i love them too much to ignore ^^.

sooooo heres Lord Velz'Kan's head!

i spent like ages on this to get it just right, but i need some seriouse C&C on it cuz its still not perfect... bah.

after a while i suddely got a grazy idea... to make those teeth he has got going on there! these are just a bit slapped on actually... all i really did was the flesh, the rest was done in no time, and the hair is just recolor (not the beard though)

i still have to give the eyes and the mouth a bit of a greenish glow too...
i made some talking-portrait shots to proove that it looks good when he talks... you should see it and then hear a mannoroth or another pit-lords voice on it, it looks bizar...

enjoy!

spooky ^_^
But its a bit too blurry for my taste, how did u get the teeth so good ?, alphaing ?

in reaction to orion:@saikann nope, no alphaing... i just colored some stuff black and it looked awsum... its true that its so blurry, but i just cant seem to prevent that from happoning >''< maybe i should mess a little with the sharpening tool? or a sharpening filter?

oh and in case anyone is going to suggest blood, no way, i'm not going to make him bloody >''<

Did you mean to make a middle tooth ? It looks monsterish, but it's good though. However when the paladin looks straight at the camera, that tooth doesn't look so good.

ohh so scary.... again nice job erwtenpeller :D

i slapped that tooth on on a last minute bases... i havnt redone them yet, wich i will, i just wanted to show the concept, wasn wanted to get some crituques on the flesh, wich is abvout 90% of the work and time i've put into this... i made like 5 dummy versions that wherent good enough, or the wrapping was abit off wtc. and this one came out best. when it was fnished and i did the beard, thats when this idea popped to mind.... ^^''

i'll dfinish the face tomorrow, i dont know when the whole of the skin will be donem, but hopefully soon... i want to get crackin on that panda too ;)

whoa, freaky lookin, the teeth look odd, dont make it so white

Can we see the body?

My experience with the sharpening tool is: fastest way to screw every possible image if you overdo it. So use them with care. I still think you would get a better result by enhancing the already existing details.

nah sorry shadow, i didnt work on the body yet, i wanted to get the face good on this one... i wante it to be quite diffrent from your avarage paly head, so i tried to make it somewhat diffrent...

and like i mentioned before, i slapped the teeth on in like 3 seconds, just to see if it would work.. well it did, and before i could refine them vog0r wanted to play some wolfenstein 3d so i had to leave the comp, but managed to take some snapshots ^^~!

i'll try to fix everything tomorrow.

sharpening the textures is hard man, it just keeps being blurry... and i do not dare touch the fukin sharpening tool... it kills stuff.

anyone has any tips on how to make it look sharper? :(

You could start with showing us the unwrap :D

hmm.. yeah i'll do that soon, good point. that'll make it easyer to give some poiters i suppose... ^^

indeed, it would be a lot easier if everyone posted the unwrap along with the skin *hint* *hint*

heres the unwrap... doubled the allready doubled size i worked on for better vieuwing, and just cut off the rest of the skin....

(i work at double size normally, but doubled that size for this pic)
