(PSN)Balwon Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Linking to my wip thread in the poly count forums. I can post images here too later if people prefer. Thanks for looking and good luck to all involved! Changed the name to Ecktor, but not sure how to alter topic header names here and on poly count.The thought was this helmet could have preceded the original excal helm. Making it a bit more aggressive, less refined and primal. Ecktor is the name of the knight who'd raised Arthur before the sword and the stone element in the king Arthur story and as the helmet has completely changed its look, i feel it needed a new name too. ECKTORhttp://polycount.com/discussion/160767/alt-helmet-excalibur-skutter Updated link, apparently it was giving an error.

OniDax Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 You're very skilled, but that will most likely not be accepted, because of the human mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OniDax Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, I went back and did that. Completely disregard what I said :p It looks really good. Looks better than DE's stuff, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syncrasis Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I love the flow and overall feel of this piece. If I had to crit I'd suggest breaking up the main forms more into separate volumes that fit together and/or overhang each other enough to feel separate, right now it feels like almost entirely one solid piece. The mark-making you're doing in the middle of the back really feels dead on with the WF style. Looking forward to watching this progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, as i started over with the old toothy head, i just re-dynameshed and started blocking in. Segmenting the smooth "bony" looking parts from the more mechanical bits will help :) should make paining this quite a bit easier too. Look for updates sometime tomorrow.

_malaya_ Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 2spoopy5me, I love it.

(PSN)AllEyezOnThee Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Looks awesome, the chaotic non symmetrical shape is doing well with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Balwon Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks :) Major setback. Catastrophic harddrive failure of the main drive. Pulling through, but i have a bit of work left to do and reinstalling everything is taking its toll. Hope to get it done on time, but it's not looking too good atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Balwon Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 POOOMMM! Looks like i just might get this all done in time :) Thanks for looking! Next update will just be a few pics of the different color variations using the tint mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncrasis Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Looking great! Suggestion for tintmask separation: on Excal's body they have tint2 wide border edges on a lot of organic areas with the tint4 accents appearing only on top of those. When I was working on my helmet I found it really hard to match the feel of that body if I didn't follow that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
