Side tracking from making my tutorial, which in some ways may benefit it, I'm on a WIP to improve my 3D modelling a bit further - my last project left me modelling at the quality my tutorial is at. But now I'm pushing it further.

Gilgamesh, not the Final Fantasy Gilgamesh character mind you, but my own interpretation of him. Looking at the Statues of Gilgamesh, he's different to what I imagine from his Epic, simply because he's meant to be a man of great physical strength and his fight with Enkidu is described with bull characteristics, incidentally I want to portray that in my version, plus using that idea helps with the tutorial reference I'm following.

Hopefully I'll overcome my weaknesses in this project.

Very nice mesh Sepp, it's got great flow of the geometry, perhaps your best yet.

Thanks guys, hope I can keep the quality consistent, at least that's my aim.

Agreed, this is one of your finest works to be honest, great edgeflow and in general awesome model.
Great freaking job!

Gilgamesh is humbled your kind comments, you flattered him so much he's grinning:

Wow, that looks cool. You should animate the guy to say things.

Maybe eventually - I mean I've not tried any facial animation before, so it might be worth a shot,

Though it might be worth noting that:
This is being modelled in the trial version of Silo 2 and I have 11days left on it
The render was done in the demo of Cinema 4D 10.

So this will be on pause when my demo runs out, simply because I've had enough of Hexagon and Carrara that I am not going to use them any more, (really hate their UI, it doesn't work with my style and how they work in general) instead in October I'll be buying Silo 2 (£70) and the student edition of Cinema 4D(£65, I'll upgrade to normal edtition when I get the money). Don't know why I didn't buy them sooner.

Delayed Update - I've not finished the torso and I realise it's a bit wide.


Hair test (The guy's middle eastern and has a beard, so I've done a test)

It's looking pretty danm good!


But, I can tell you first hand... that's one funny looking middle eastern
If you want to make him look middle eastern, make the bridge of his nose stick out more, make his eyes more like ours, and make the eyebrows very bushy
Oh, and the hair should be pitch black.

I haven't found a good enough middle eastern picture yet to follow, but those pointers should hopefully give the illusion. The hair, good point.

Cheers.
