:welcome: here gordon-v, very interesting works, I like the extreme design on the creature and amount of detail on both character.
I would have some notes if this was posted in the WIP section, but it looks pretty good anyway.

Nice work!
:thumbsup:

Hey Gordon-v, really nice work here.
Great modeling details and the design is so cool.
Keep it up! clap

[Billabong]

well my jaw was dropped. Fantastic work man.

I think you should show texture maps in the reel

[gordon-v]

Thank you guys for the comments.

PascalR// Im happy you like my work! Oh by any means please give me feedback! I would love to hear you opinion on it. critic is all I need to get better.

EmmCha// Thank you! It was important for me to do my own desing on the characters in my reel.

Billabong// thanks man!!

Tom// I thought about showing texturemaps in my ree. But the only texturemaps that I really could show are the maps for the skinshaders, and those are really not very complex and interesting. All the hardsurface parts are different shaders mixed together with painted 1k alphamasks.

[PascalR]

Cool, well I was wondering about the shading of the skin and metal.
The skin spec looks a bit like plastic on both characters and I would add some high frequency details like pores, finer wrinlkles to help break up the spec. And the metal shader I think is using too much diffuse.
Keep it up!

I really like the design of the characters, execelent execution Gordon...
The Hard surface stuff is very well made and designed.

My compliments...
P.S.: what did you used for render it? I suppose Mental Ray since you use XSI...

Bye

[gordon-v]

Thank you PascalR for the critics. I will keep that in mind for my next project.

Thanks madmatt! yes I rendered it with mental ray.

Thanks captain!! Nice to see you here!

Hey Brett! Thank you for dropping me a line. Actually, I referenced a lot of you work. It was very good inspiration. Especially the sea creature and Aspen. I wonder how you achived the wet skin look on her!!

[gordon-v]

Wow, Thank you guys!

[tonytrout]

Fantastic and impressive. Congratulations from me too clap

[Intervain]

well I seriously like the shaded model much better than the textured one... sorry for that but I think it looks much more flattering in gray

[gordon-v]

Thank you magda! we sharing the same opinion! Im glad you liking it!

[Richardr]

Awesome model, not so sure about the rendered/shaded version but the model is top notch!
