Thanks Digman!
Probably better to train more often with clay modeling
even if it is not achieved work. So many new things I missed these last months.
Another one hour doodle:

Wow, Garangarape - she looks awesome!

[Garagarape]

I finished the low model study
and wil start a new sculpt soon. Probably mecha.
The indian girl don't have much to do with 3dCoat,
but I thought it was fun to re-explore old workflows.

[digman]

Really nice work for 3000 tris and it looks like you rigged her some...

[Garagarape]

BeatKitano, Digman,

Thanks! It took me time. I'm happy you like it.
Still, the aim was to improve my rigging technique and I just gave up in the end.
It is very "primitive" and uneasy to use (that's why there's only one pose)
I've just bought a book from Chris Maraffi to learn more about it, but it is a long run task...
see you soon with new sculpts.

Hey Garagarape!

Nice indian girl you have here. The texturing turned out really well.

[Garagarape]

Started a Skeksis.
If I'm patient enough I'll try to sculpt the entire character, with clothes
and hair.

Awesome!I LOVE the Dark Crystal....great idea!

[Garagarape]

Hey Artman!
Yes Dark Crystal was great. Those puppets were magic!
There is something in this movie that would be hard to reproduce
even with today's CG techniques.
Hope you are OK in Quebec (listening to "Les cowboys fringants" right now ).
Hope that students will get what they need and calm down a bit.
Take care.

Thanx ,Im very much ok.Its nothing comapred to Greece or places where people deal with religious tensions or real economic turmoil.
What they want is University for free or a freeze in actual school fees and I don't think they are gonna get either.
Things are very safe here unless you go to an actual manifestation,its probably hard for those who lives very close to manifestations trajectories but for where I am its just good ol' summer time .
They are not gonna calm down because governement jsut voted a special law to forbid manifestations so things are gonna get more violent I think.
But again compared to what is happening in the world right now its really not that big....
"Les cowboys fringants" are great!

Love where you are going with the skeksis!
One of my favourite films as a kid.

[Garagarape]

Jake_H,
Thanks! People drawing and working in CG world
definatlely have to keep part of their childhood somewhere
(in my case the kid part may be bigger than the adult one...).

[michalis]

Great last one posts Garagarape!
I missed some of them.

[Garagarape]

Thanks Michalis!
I try to do my best. But still it is Brian Froud character.
Didn't torture my brain to find a good design.

May be the shapes are too soft and need more sharpen
on main volumes. The clothes and armour will be hard work
(probably on different scenes?):

[Garagarape]

More sharp + jaw details:

[chingchong]

yes indeed, that looks better than before

did you up-res for that ?

[Garagarape]

Hi Chingchong!

No, I didn't up-res between the last shot and the previous one.
It's a X2 res. Just used the pinch stuff (the one in surface mode).

I wonder if X2 is enough and if the whole character could be done in one scene.
Probably have to try to add parts little by little to find the critical point.
