[Finished] Epic Pumpkin Contest – The Sorcerer’s Revenge

[Cookie Dough]

@silentheart00 I think I might actually put it lower. I want the silhouette to be against the moon. Do you think it looks good like this?

[Cookie Dough]

I made my own constellations 🙂 

I’m going to hide the images and just have it be the stars showing. By the way, behind the pumpkin is a deer.

@cgcookiedough really nice work. I love how you’re doing it. I wonder if my pumpkin shapes are too Strang xd. 

Really good so far keep up the good work

@yukinoh1989 Thanks. Makes me feel good when people say anything along the lines of good job. To be honest, I don’t know what I’m doing. I have guidelines on what I’m going to do, but as far as getting there, I have no clue. I think it’s a win if I learn stuff as I’m going, even if I don’t win the prize. So far, I’d say my knowledge as increased at least 10% that means I’ve already won 🙂 Do your best, then go a little bit farther.

Ha! I don’t even know if what I’m saying makes any sense.

@cgcookiedough Dont worry i do get it . but you sure did great already . i love how to pumpkin looks (looking like one hungry pumpkin :D) i think those constellations will also looks great .

@cgcookiedough That’s the spirit! Learning something and having fun doing it is much more important than winning, at least that’s my opinion 😊

You’re off to a great start, you got a good story and the block out is getting better. I like the position of the moon behind the mountain, but I also like @silentheart00 suggestion to put it higher. I think you should go for what like best, it’s your art piece after all 😉 you can always change the position later when your block out is finished or even after shading/lighting your scene if it doesn’t turn out the way you like.

Keep up the good work!

It just donned on me, I don’t have any deadlines except that it has to be done by the end of the month. Does anyone know how long I should spend on each thing(The modeling, textures, lighting, etc)?

[silentheart00]

@cgcookiedough Putting the moon lower works, too.  As for a timeline, there’s about 3 weeks left.  The last 3 days I would set aside for rendering/lighting/tweaking, just to be extra safe.  This week you could model a bunch of stuff, then next week start thinking about textures and adding textures, then setting up lights.  You can have a little wiggle room between the weeks; doesn’t have to be strictly 7 days.  It all depends on what you think you can do in that amount of time.  You could also get away with modeling 3 people, copying a bunch all over the place, and giving each of them slightly different textures.  The viewer won’t be able to see their faces or fine details at such a distance, so I wouldn’t focus too much on those details.  You have to find that line between what people will see and how much detail you should put in.  Those are my suggestions.  Good luck!

Lol, I’m so good at making characters! 

Yeah… I never made one before… Did this in 20 mins though ( :

@cgcookiedough the lower part somehow looks a bit off. But character modeling is really hard. The shapes are there so if it’s for in the far distance maybe this could work out. 

[silentheart00]

@cgcookiedough The hips are too low in relation to the hands.  Look for some anatomy tutorials to at least get the rough anatomy correct since again, these won’t be seen so close but the base anatomy needs to be believable even at a distance.

[Cookie Dough]

@silentheart00 This is my block out, is it better now? 

[silentheart00]

@cgcookiedough Yeah, that might work from a distance.

[Cookie Dough]

@silentheart00 I’m going to add clothes and hair and stuff.

[silentheart00]

@cgcookiedough You’ve got a good start, then.
