ODST (originally posted at Renderosity, October 26, 2009)
ODST: Hi Very body!, its been a while.`I have been so busy with work for the past few weeks, I had been working on our Trade-show putting together slide-shows/flyers and other stuff. I had come across this Gem of a model made by Nate rogers, I asked Nate if I could use it in this comic project. Nate was kind enough to let me:) Nate is a very talented artist and if you have a chance check out his work, all you have to do is google his name and you will find him;) On that note Nate has asked me not to hand out his model, so please dont ask becuse I wont. I have had the model for about 3 weeks, there where a few issues with the rigging but I think Ive got it down. I then started working on the maps, Not to change the model but to get it to look like the rest I have. I also ran into an issue with the maps, being they are so Hi-res I found out my machine could not handle rendering at the res I usally render at:( so I have to get a new one very soon. I usally find ways to work around things like these but it comes down to hardware in this case. Anyway these characters are still in the wip stage, as I plan on adding much more detail and character to them. I wanted to give you an idea as to how this comic project will unfold, as Ive promised a few pages a while back:( I am still gathering Characters that are going to be in the story. Im in the process of building inviroments and for those who dont know its alot of work, Im also working on the main bad guys as at the moment I have very few:( Maybe Ill find another talented artist who is willing to let me use his/her models? Im working on it. So in short Im about 65% ready, I have a goal and level of detail im tring to reach and its coming along but I wont compermise this goal. I can say this, when I have the main characters in place I will put the first few pages together and post them for your review;) Ok this is almost 3 weeks of comments for me!.. Sorry about that and if you have read all this Thank you for that! lol..
Credits:
ODST model by Nate Rogers(Thank you for letting me use this awsome model!) all the weapons are from HCE Halomaps.org by other artist, a Credit list is coming! Ill post in the comments or next Image....... /Rigged, Posed, Rendered, inviro lighting, Studio Max// Postwork color ajust filters and such CS2 (photoShop)/// Ive also gotten some feed back and some still think these are screen shots, these images are built almost from the ground up and are not screen shots that have been touched up in photoshop. I have a pretty heavy work-flow eg. process and Im always trying to improve it, but becuse Im one person with limited time and resources this project will take some time. I am driven by my passion as an artist and inspired by Bungies ability to create such a grand and brillient story and indepth amount of talent in design on all levels to give us HALO..
Well thats it, I hope you all like:) CHEERs.
