Dwarven paladin

Well, I think I may have figured out a work around for a braided beard! The client is very pleased with the images. But he hasn't decided if he wants a quote included or not. So here's what I've come up with in the mean time





Final images and completed commission (minus the print that I will be sending to him)






Credits:
The Freak with HyperReal M3 textures
Miki hair
Millenium beard 2
Cheveyo hair (for braided beard)
The Freak fantasy armor with Knights Extrordinaire texture
Sanganien a Luvae ar' Mire' (props pack)
DM's Marlene's Lair (DM's Around the Lair in final images)
Jepes Steam prop
Thor's hammer on banners in final images
WHEW! I think that's it!

thats one of the best dwarfs ive seen done in 3d. it actually looks true and not like a monster. very nice!

I've no idea who or what he is, but he's done very well, and I really do like the way you did his beard.

Nice job, sun! The texturing on the armor and the lighting is superb. His nose is funky but that's what a dorf's nose would look like. The braiding is HOT. Kick ass. No real other than the fonts - which you're really getting better at. I'd maybe spice up the first letter of his name and last name. Do something curly and center the whole bit, shrink but lengthen his clan name maybe?

LOL well we're kind of reworking the background on this to give it a little more of a paladin feel to it. And Roz, I'm working on fonts... really I am! I have an idea to use on his but kind of waiting until we get the background nailed down first. I have an idea that should work with both old and new magelo formats!



Credits same as above except with DM's Around the Lair for the background. And the Thor hammer to modify the banners.

I like the hammers, but you need a naked statue in there somewhere.
Sunbur 18 years ago
Ummmm please don't give this dorf any ideas LOL His idea of a naked statue would be my Sunbur model placed behind him... kind of like a dentist's chair, if ya know what I mean LOL

Wow that is an incredibly kinky thought. O_O
Sunbur 18 years ago
Ok I "think" we may have narrowed down the background. Though I'm still struggling with the candle glow LOL

NICE! le

I think the glow looks nice, maybe a little softer. Really for it to make sense, you'd have to darken the areas surrounding them, so they might just be a little too much.

The fire on the banners KICK ASS. Very cool job on this one Sunbur!

That text is a HUGE improvement... Just WOW! Its amazing how well done text can really compliment an image, and I very very much like the style of this text. However, with the new changes at Magelo its not going to fit =-x

Here is the current magelo UI as it stands, provided they don't screw with it anymore, and Michael and Maurice both said that it should stay this way:



See your name text is getting coverd as well as his sword, which I guess is ok on the sword since you can adjust the transparencey on them.

Yeah I'm still working on the new magelo format one. I'm going to drop the text down below the box. But I wanted to test it out in this format first

oh i love the changes thats awesome
Sunbur 18 years ago
Ok Sabby, I have the new text set up for either old or new magelo Had to pick out the perfect quote for him hehe

And here is his new signature.



Going to edit the top post to reflect the last images!

Love how this one turned out hon! Specially the fire added to the banners and the candlelighting. Great job!

OOOO I didn't show you where I got the idea for the flaming hammers on the banner! LOL The idea is from the banner than I made for the guild prior to joining them LOL The founding members are all very good friends of mine and I couldn't stand their cut and paste job they had for a banner before LOL So I made them their very own banner... complete with an avatar for the Officer Council to use on the boards





Eventually, we'll have a whole web set to match this. As soon as we can narrow down a format LOL
