I like this one - the changes are much more subtle. Maybe the eyes should not glow on the gib though.

second look: Maybe the eye color should even be darkened a bit. Due to there being no shadows for his brow or anything to truly indicate an eye, it looks like there is a hole in his face and the sky is trapped in his head. I understand you did not make this model.

Can you add a darker gradient in the eye around the edges? Like my avatar (sorta) you may notice the bottom right is dark and lightens as it reaches the upper left. Can you use that same method from the outer edges to the center of the eye? A subtle amount of contrast between the two extremes of the gradient will go a real long way.

imo your work needs to be front page news! keep up the good work!

[MadGypsy]

I second that.

[talisa]

thanx gypsy and JD

yeah the original texture did have that with the darker grading around the eyes, but it got lost kinda while editing
ill try playing around with trying to add the darker gradient back around the eyes later

I need it on my desk by Friday, along with the Patterson invoice. You've been doing a good job around here Talisa. I hear the chatter in the mail room and by the coffee machine. Everyone seems to be impressed with your work. Keep it up and there could be advancements in your future.

Now if you will put your shoes back on and stub out that cigar that I didn't offer you, you can remove yourself from my desk so I can get back to work.

working on getting this into the news today , thanks for being patient!

[talisa]

in other news... made a little update to the skin
made the glow a lil bit more subtle and added a slightly dark line at the edge, and i tried playing around a bit with adding some shading above the eye from the original skin


nothing big, just some slight updates


EDIT:download removed since i made another update, see next post

[talisa]

suddenly realized i had forgot to also update the gib-texture in last update

so i took a look at the gib-texture and luma too, making the same changes to it,
and i thought of what gypsy said and did what he suggested, made the eye and the luma both darker, so the eyes are more darker and only slightly glowing on the gib anymore



DOWNLOAD EVEN NEWER VERSION1.02 WITH UPDATED GIB-TEXTURES

[MadGypsy]

yep...that looks good. Now it's more like he is dead.

[MadGypsy]

You keep describing these as "HD" I don't see where this is HD. To me, it looks more like a really clean original Quake texture. Which is really really good (IMO). I like how it look more like a graphic novel and less like plastic. I also like how it is essentially flat, there is no drama to the texture.

I think if the hoofs were as black as they are brown, it would probably look good. maybe with a little "rim" of blood stains to complete the realism that this thing has probably stomped through plenty of it's meals.

[talisa]

thanx gypsy for the compliment about the texture fitting so perfectly into quake and looking like original textures

hmm i might give your suggestions a try
