I am no art expert as you know, but I like the way you have focused more on setting a scene with this model.
In your second post where the model has no post effects work I find it harder to judge the model as I don’t really know the context of the pose. In the first post the pose has purpose and criteria to be judged by. In short I think setting a scene for your poses is better training in my opinion.

Cool, thanks for your feedback Barry, appreciated.

Dito on the lack of being an expert but I do think the face needs some more water effects to blur it slightly. As it stands there is a T section going from his eyes down through his mouth and chin that seems to stick out slightly awkwardly.
Overall though, fantastic model. Some of the character art that can be created with ZBrush really is truly amazing.

Thanks for the feedback, but it was intentional not to distort or cover his face, as expression was paramount in my view to get my point & character accross, so reality took a back seat there. Thanks anyway though, always good to hear different perspectives

Hi there,
Great concept, but your tonal values lack range (also could be your positioning of light source).. and that makes a model in your final illo looks a bit flat. Other than that I like it.P.S. Hope you don’t mind C&C :wink:

Hey Dark,
Glad for the feedback, thats why its here. I have heard some other people talk about the lighting. Ill have to add that and the tonal range to the list of fixes to do, must have got to carried away with the bubbles….. 0oo0 bubbles
Btw had a look at your blog & site, truly impressive work. Can see why you got work for Marvel.

He has the skin of a 40 year old :D New borns don’t have big porous noses!
Nice model, but the still REALLY lets it down. Looks like he is completely submerged, even though the story goes he was held by his heel, ergo his weakness. So the view in the water (which is murky but shouldnt be because he isn’t that deep) should show the sky behind him really (and it would be cool to see a blurred female figure too)
There is lots of bubbles around him but they don’t appear in the rest of the water, neither do any particulates that you would find in murky water. But again, I don’t see why the water should be murky. The paintover you did really killed any sense of 3D in the scene…I thought it was a painting till I scrolled down.
I say ditch the photoshoppery over 3D and do it for real (use blender or something for bubbles, water, etc) Also, use a bit more dramatic perspective! It would really add some drama to the scene. If you want, you can have some ghoulish souls approaching him from below too :D
Great modelling though.

Cheers for the feedback. Seems I didnt display the story well. Achilles is in the river styx, which is the river between life and death, so I made the water a combination of smoke and solid water, ie two forms of water like two forms of existence. The important thing to remember is that it isnt normal water but water of life and death. Sounds a bit uppity but hey thats what masters are about. The reason why his skin is so old and damaged is because of the reaction of his body to the water, he is being born Achilles the hero rather than just achilles, hence the title.
Why there is bubbles and smoke just on the model and around is because, again, the transformation. I should have included and still might, the background of the mother above the water to place him in his surroundings. I am quite happy to see it was seen more of a painting than 3D, as that was my intention. I can see though I failed in getting my ideas accross though but hey was my first attempt at this sort of thing. Thanks anyway for taking the time to give me a lengthy and full critique, appreciated.
PS hope all is going well on your job searching squash

I’m Greek mate ;)
I think if you are having to provide a whole back-story and explanation to a still, it’s gonna hurt the still in the end. But like you said, first try. My first attempt would be way worse than that. Practice makes perfect. :)
And with Free Radical just finishing up, the job search just got that much harder :D
