Very very noob here, thought I'd have a try even if I cant finish it it's good to try

Original concept idea is 2 people in a lightning storm (for some high contrast lighting). One is frozen and huddling in fear near a tree (crazy place to be!) and the other is having a go at the storm, or is even laughing in the face of it.

Went on to look at one of the fists of the annoyed dude in more detail and while messing with lighting thought that the annoyed dude could be a robot, maybe now protecting him and loathing the storm for debilitating his (master? friend?).
Also the robot dude must be hard as he runs the risk of being short circuited by the lightning so really like a soldier who has seen lots of battles he has scorn and hatred for the storm and what it can do.

Dont think I'll be good enough to model the figures well but I'll give it a try over the next few weeks

Interesting concept. Looking forward to seeing updates!

Just started working on a female character this morning (dont expect it to be good!) which will 'possibly' become the robot on the hill.
Probably going to give it a human shape and then add fairly basic cylindrical parts to it. It wont have a detailed face as it's unlikely to be seen.
Will try and get some basics up tonight (UK time)

Just a quick update on the female 'robot'

It's my first solo model so any help on the lines, shape etc would be muchly appreciated. I'm going to add an outer body shell once its fleshed out.
Going to work a bit more on the arms now...

thanks mike, much appreciated encouragement

I was looking at your low poly character modelling tutorial today and it inspired me to dive in and start modelling

Just a minor update on filling in the arms (had to redo them as I messed them up)
Will do a bit more tomorrow.

ur pretty good for a newbie... and your ability to draw makes me extremely envious, aswell as assists you when you are modelling.

your concept is interesting and i look forward to the final product. and don't worry, u've got ages still

cheers for the encouragement, its much appreciated

I did art college many many years ago and was interested in anatomy so kind of know the flow of muscles in the body

Quick update on the neck and head. I've not detailed the face as it 'probably' wont be seen.
I think I'll move onto blocking out the landscape next and come back to this model later

Just started on the basics of the landscape. It'll be a cliff edge with a gradient coming back towards the camera (as in the last sketch)

I know they aren't anything yet but I thought it'd support the idea a bit more

i like the way you model the girl.very quickly you can get the main muscles...very intersted..


keep it up.

Cheers
I just box modelled it and then decided to cut the muscle groups in. Then just tidied up all the mad lines and 'tried' to make sure it was quad'ed as much as possible.

To save time (in case I need it later) I've opted to create a male counterpart based on the female model. It'll help with positioning and determining the composition and if I have time later then I'll come back and create a male model from scratch.

Next is carry on with the landscape and learn how to (gulp) rig the characters

as stated before (in other words maybe) you've got a nice anatomy worked out on those models https://forum.simplymaya.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

cheers

Been working on a head/face for the male model. This bit is harder than the body though!
