Here's a new udpate.
This step is important for me as i don't have espacially a lot of time to spend on this contest. So i have to find a clever way to work on it on time without loosing the pleasure of modeling and sculpting.
the NIGHT MAKER looks like a big puzzle of masks, expressions, hands etc... so i've prepared all i need for the basic form of my little budy.
I'll prepare a 1st version of him than i'll use more lattices to make each mask singular..i'll be able to turn all the eyes, mouthes etc...so i'll be able to have a wide range of expressions with not so much modeling.
Than i'll add more details and probably very singular masks.
I'll use the same mesh both for arms and legs and 3 kinds of lights that i'll modifiy if i need more ....

Well let's start the modeling!!

C&C are welcome

Damn this looks fun to build... it even comes with an instruction kit
Can't wait to see where you get with this. There is still lots of time in the comp, so feel free to spread out your time.
cheers

Once you've got a bit of a base mesh happening I'll get the guys from Moddler.com to check it out and offer any advice

hey! that's a really great concept, I know your sculpt will be outstanding (methinks that even andrew thinks you're gonna win )

I couldn't pick a winner at this point if I tried! There are so many cool entries going on at the moment. There have been a few entries like this one that could do with some clarification from Moddler.com before going too much further. Would hate for anyone to put loads of effort in and then find out it couldn't be printed if it won.

Just for the record, I will be one of many judges! There are over 12 cgCoach.com coaching crew and we are also going to invite a number of "celebrity guest" judges to vote, plus there will be a community vote that will contribute to the overall score of an entry.

I know you were only joking... but thought it would be good to clear up anyway

cheers

Cool. It's like a complex mr potato head. Nice planning and looking forward to seeing him come to life

I like the planning and thought you're putting into your character. The more clarity you have in your design the easier it'll be to model.


Nice work.

Hey Isk-86 and Andrew : no problems!! you know, i'm not a good modeler so i'm far far faaaaaar away to finish the sculpt and even think of maybe winning the conteste
I just want to try to finish it!! than, we'll see

Alwyn : thank you! i hope that'll be able to respect the one week update

Wow... the design itself is quite an inspiration for a wannabe designer like me. very nice... all the very best for the comp and love to see more.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????

You are a cheeky liar!

Hey Moni this is true!!
I'm ok with sculpting in ZB but technically speaking my lowpolys suck!!!
In fact if ZB didn't exist i wouldn't be able to make nice models in a "regular" 3D software

Gotta say this is looking cool from sketch to update. Excellent stuff
