[Heinvers]

That looks pretty cool.
I love the proportions and the wrap so far.
The face could be geoset colored to a more pale blue. Also the hands (not arms) could be made a bit bigger.

I'm sure this will be something awesome JH.

Proportions are realy far from being finalized. I have just began the work and i am planing to finish mesh first and only then tweak his size. But yes, i can assure you that his palms and belly will be a whole lot bigger later on.

And thank you for the positive feedback!

 

[Heinvers]

belly will be a whole lot bigger

Not too much beer belly I hope :>

 

[Chen]

Not too much beer belly I hope :>

No, please give him a beer belly! It will be cool and fun! Please? Nice model anyways, looking forward to the bigger belly.

 

[Heinvers]

The people demandzz dem WIP's

 

[JesusHipster]

updt

 

[Heinvers]

Looks fine, what do you have in mind for the hair? Maybe some dreadlocks style or just laid back?

 

[JesusHipster]

who knows

 

[Heinvers]

We'll see

 

[Edge45]

Well I'll be bloody damned, this are some WiPs, gonna check this one

 

[Kyrbi0]

Oooooooh.

What's a "hodir"?

 

[PROXY]

Hodir.

Great WIP's btw. These boots look a lot better then mine.

 

[Vinz]

This looks cool, though the gloves and boots texture looks a bit out of place.

 

[PROXY]

^ I do not agree here. Ofc. more sharpness and contrast on the leather would be appreciated and is to come for sure I suppose, it finally gives some variation to the instead overused campaign arthas texture blob on the whole model which you see so often.

 

[Heinvers]

Oooooooh.

What's a "hodir"?

You of all people ask that? 0.o

@PROXY, where's your Lady Blaumex model? I can't see it in the models section :/

 

[JesusHipster]

Great WIP's btw. These boots look a lot better then mine.

But you still did a nice job on those. Thank you, once again.
And these boots took me almost as much time as his whole body structure.

This looks cool, though the gloves and boots texture looks a bit out of place.

Well he has a certain colorscheme and in my opinion it fits.

 

[JesusHipster]

WIP #4.5

Thinking about shape of his head and trying to choose a perfect way to show his nature.

Looks realy bad at the moment, but that's temporary.

 

[Heinvers]

One thing's for sure: No baldness here (personal preferences).
I like the eye glow. I'd personally choose the one with his hair, depends I guess. The one with the horned helmet would make an excellent dreadful sight

 

[Vinz]

The one with the Viking Helmet looks cool.

 

[PROXY]

The helmet is really really awesome.

 

[JesusHipster]

One thing's for sure: No baldness here (personal preferences).

I was thinking about a ponytail with a bald skull, like Hodir himself.

The helmet is really really awesome.

Thank you, but it's just a lazy combination of wow mesh and mesh of my own.

The one with the Viking Helmet looks cool.

Thanks.

 

[Heinvers]

I see, well you could also give a try to something like that v

Yeah, I know it's a bit similar to the hair version you made.

 

[Vinz]

Dreadlocks... you could put some twist near the ears.

 

[JesusHipster]

Dreadlocks

It takes a whole lot of space and effort to make them without custom textures and with a decent quality. But that's a cool stuff i would like to see on the model's head.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Dreadlocks = Trolls. Forever and always.

 

[JesusHipster]

Vrykuls have dreadlocks too.

 

[Kyrbi0]

P -> Q, P, => Q

Q.E.D. Vrykuls must be Trolls in disguise, then.

 

[Splub]

Very cool! Good work! Keep it up!

 

[JesusHipster]

 

[Heinvers]

So you have decide for the bald look? :/
Oh well, you're modeller here, anyway what texture are you using for the teeth? I can't tell which one it is.

 

[JesusHipster]

It's the skeleton texture. It helps to achive a more sinister look.

I've decided that helm is not fitting a giant armed with his own fists. I will go for Hodir's haircut and bear.

 

[Vinz]

I like the second one, it looks cool.

 

[NhazUl]

I like the face. For the gloves and boots, maybe use boots of elvenskin/gloves of haste as textures?

 

[JesusHipster]

It seems to be too small for me. Moreover i want to evade the clash of quality between the textures, so i'l just stick to this plain texture and decorate gloves with metal plates later on

 

[Heinvers]

decorate gloves with metal plates later on

That sounds good.

 

[Vinz]

Cool, it will match with the rest of the armor.

 

[JesusHipster]

That sounds good.

Changed my mind.

Updated the first post. From now on - animations.

Working so slow because of the complete lack of time.

 

[Vinz]

The ponytail looks a little stretched, but the model looks good.

 

[Heinvers]

Hmm, it shapes quite nice so far. I like the dreadful look of it

 

[JesusHipster]

After a whole month not doing anything i've suddenly finished the model in an hour, maybe two.

I think i am done with wc3 modelling from now on.

Since it's released i'd suggest closing the thread.

Awexome!

Nooooooooooooo!!! D:

 

[PROXY]

That's really sad to hear indeed.

 

[NhazUl]

Hey, come on. Hiatuses can last for years, why close the thread? Maybe you'll want to come back to it after some time.

 

[Vinz]

Re-openings can happen after he returns.

Sad that you're moving on now, though, JesusHipster.

 

[-Grendel]

this is actuall pretty fucking cool

 

[JesusHipster]

this is actuall pretty fucking cool

Me leaving? :c

Hey, come on. Hiatuses can last for years, why close the thread? Maybe you'll want to come back to it after some time.

Well, i just tend to think that this is the least good hobby for me. I love being surrounded by people, but this is the kind of activity i can do only on my own. If someone is interested, I am switching to playing drums now, hope it will work out

Re-openings can happen after he returns.

Sad that you're moving on now, though, JesusHipster.

This is not sad, and thank you all people for your respones. I am not completely leaving THW, i will definitely show up from time to time. Just no more modelling.

 

[Heinvers]

awsum, good luck with those drums

 

[Vinz]

Drums? Cool!

It's a good instrument. Are you gonna join a band?

I've got to learn more at the moment.

I think we are going off-topic, so let's stop now
