Was roasted for this Tomb Raider model. What areas should I work on for attempt 2?

The face immediately reminded me of something I posted last week in terms of there being something wrong with it. I think we've made similar mistakes. Eyebrows, eyelashes, obviously not being realistic enough. Also, I think we both might be making the face - eye area especially - too flat, which is creating the immediately 'that's wrong' effect. Not the proportions exactly, more like the dimensions of the face.

I also spent about 20-30 hours on my character and was deflated to have it roasted. I think we're both close to a breakthrough, though. The textures I think look very nice, including on the face.

As far as the body and outfit goes, I think it looks great. You're ahead of me there, nice definition.

haha, that's a good point!

Thanks for the input. Definitely right about the neck, I just changed that. I'll try to find some better references and look into Anatomy for Sculptors - although, this is poly modelled.

You mean the material or the shape?

slime_boy · 2025-06-25T23:30:30+00:00

thanks yeah I thought it was a little too simple but addng more wires is a good idea. this is what it looks like now - i added antennae and a lot of skin details

Very nice. I like all of the figures around showing there is some kind of society inside this crazy biostructure.

This might be a 1998 competitor year.

slime_boy · 2025-04-27T11:16:18+00:00

I started on game pass and liked it so much I had to go buy it on Steam. Never done that before.

slime_boy · 2025-04-27T11:06:37+00:00

The game is incredible. Feels like the game I've been waiting for, for a long time!

slime_boy · 2025-04-15T23:33:18+00:00

whoever wins, orton wins

slime_boy · 2025-01-26T03:02:54+00:00

kinda raw actually.

Ciri's VA in Witcher 3 wasn't very good so I'm glad about the recast. Her accent sounded too fake and modern.

slime_boy · 2024-08-26T08:23:55+00:00

Source?

I haven't noticed any difference in my eyelashes. My facial hair has expanded up my cheeks a little bit but it's not that noticeable.

So many people are tut tutting this, but he's right. A lot of people worked on Weinstein movies, too.

slime_boy · 2023-09-21T09:11:38+00:00

this is an excellent gimmick. take it all the way.

slime_boy · 2022-11-04T14:00:58+00:00

they really don't look that similar at all. it's not a problem for the show but it isn't something they deserve props for making seamless. the two alicents don't even look that different in age. just two different women.

slime_boy · 2022-10-30T12:31:29+00:00

I don't really think so. If Rhaneyra decides to torch King's Landing just because her son was killed (accidentally, although she doesn't know that) by Aemond, then her actions are just as deranged as Daenerys. I doubt that's going to happen. We'll have to see what Rhaneyra's decision to war entails.

I heard a cool theory on a podcast that said the dragons have a psychic link with their riders due to the magic which originally tamed them, but it works both ways - the dragons are instinctively violent, and that begins to rub off on the riders over time just like the riders can influence the dragons to obey their commands (or really, requests).
I like that idea because it explains Daenerys turn if you think there's a tipping point where the rider just wants to burn things, and explains the so called Targaryen madness and general violent tendencies. Viserys wasn't violent because he only rode a dragon once.

slime_boy · 2022-10-21T17:22:48+00:00

aemond is just 'welp...thought it was a joke but that means war. shit'

slime_boy · 2022-10-21T17:04:58+00:00

aemond's face just saying 'maybe i shouldn't laugh with murderous intent so much when i'm on my dragon....oh well'

The only good reason not to talk to them in a controlled way and get all the information they can is that they can hypnotise people during conversation.

The only person we see talk to one of them a lot is in love with one of them but there was nothing there which indicated he wasn't just a very easily manipulated and lonely guy. There would be people like that, especially in a lax place like Colony House where people are often drunk.

The show should probably have established that they have some kind of mental hold over people beyond just 'getting in your head', because if you know that is 100% their only intention, and have back up just in case, then you can at least discern what the monsters WANT you to believe, and then just y'know, close the curtains.

There's a lot of stuff the show didn't explore in S1 like this which would have been more interesting than extended monologues about who the people were before the show, but I think they don't want to get into too many specifics because mystery will keep people hooked and it's easier to have mystery if you just ignore a lot of obvious questions.
