A quick update on my progress so far...

And to think originally I was scared for different reasons LOL.

Hope this sounds the way it was intended (an honest request)..

Not quite sure what you mean larsmidnatt!

Do you mean the image took a change in direction from where you thought it was going or did my changes/additions take something away from the 1st image?, maybe I should be posting these updates in a WIP section rather than a first pride thread

There is still a lot to do but, I am only just getting a `feel` for how I would like this scene to turn out

I love getting feedback/advice (be it negative or positive) as it will help me learn..

oH sorry for vague response, I mean that in your first image I was scared by the main character. By the third image I was scared of the creature in the background, so your progression is fine. I see you are building up a scene.

I was just trying to be funny, my bad!

[orion_uk]

No problem, no drama

Don't have an issue with what you said at all But like you say, it was a little vague
Your last reply was one of the paths my brain took when considering the options
Thanks for elaborating

Warmest regards

Something im working on.

[larsmidnatt]

Nice posts guys, the way you both show off details is really neat.

@linvanchene I particularly like the beard, almost looks like you can touch it.

@badmilk69 Even though it's not a close up, I think the clothing details stick out nicely.

Here's what I've been working on lately.

Just a quick test for awesome Octane Render

Just a quick test for awesome Octane Render

Cool quick test. One suggestion when you are finalizing your render, if you do a close up you can turn up the SubD level for the character to 2. This will smooth out the geometry in the shoulder and make things look more convincing. I tend to always turn the character to 2 levels of subd for the final render because I show off a lot of skin and the extra geometry helps keep things looking natural.

For example in the portrait you can see what I mean, the full body shot its not a problem.
