... creating models with out a sketch or a concept is a pain in the a$$.... i have had a million ideas.. tried 3 of them.. and give up :P
first i had a crazy idea of a tree goblin like guy... that had a stick for a weapon and a wooden shield... but when i tried drawing it in photoshop... i instantly knew that it wont be good (i can hardly draw a proper stick figure..) and since my drawing stunk.. the model did too....some how i ended up with 4 roots/feet.... and welll i scrapped it... than ahd some other idea i cant remember.. and now i started a elf fighter dude.. but well... same story as above....
any who.. to the point, any one know a good site to get ideas... or even actual concept art?

Hi VPrime there's a site with loads of artwork called elfwood. Also the CGTalk site has alot of art, not sure but the people on both sites seem pretty cool, if you think you need permission.

I have a concept but am still pretty newbish in modelling humans, but hey I got time... maybe I'll give it a shot.

Does "fantasy" mean he will have to be in the medival ages? Xocles (sorry if I spelled your name wrong which I think I did but I'm too lazy to go back and recheck spelling ) isnt exactly medival...

VPrime, you can also check out www.conceptart.org.

every1's doing really well but im not sure how these would replace the guard and the wizard model =) by the way the link should be www.conceptart.org Sjoerd added an extra period

@Sjoerd, ps. ik kom uit Culemborg ^^ ergens onder Utrecht :P

@Bilbo_Bogimps, hehe. same question of me. how should it replace? wizard and guard can be used in other styles. Fantasy fits in Fantasy ... :P maybe not replace but just add?

@Towelie, If u just post some geometry of the model we can help out alot! U think I do this 5 days? Not really... I model since 4 years or so. got no help from others. but pushed myself and if u get help on stuff u can do the same in 1 year I bet!

Oh and I just woke up (A) so uhmm... will try to finish the model and add some other extra things like earrings and stuff:P

Welcome aboard Towelie . Yea, the main point of this contest is to compete with the Korean artist (Thread in morbius). However, non of us are there yet. We'll see what people have done in 5 days time. I'm trying out some skinning/ texturing later. By the way, I scanned some really high res textures so look out for my thread later on in the user contributions section. .

Update:





C&C plz
