Hey everyone,

This is really a thread to try and get more people involved in the fan art section of the waiting4oblivion site. I'm basically monopolising it and i'd love it if people could really start firing off more fan art!

Oh, and of course, discussing the fan art already present would be a good start!

I know I wrote that in the description of your zombie picture already, but boy does that take me back. It makes me want to play Arena again because it reminds me of the Crypt of Hearts so much. It also reminds me of another dungeon, but I don't know what it was. It had an underground water/canal thing and the door with the quest item had a riddle to which the answer was 'Onion'. That dungeon had a lot of undead - especially zombies - in it.

Of course none of 'em looked as good as this one

well of course so far it all looks great dw. maybe we can ask people like archie or stephen to contribute. they have a lot of skill and they might be able to get more greatness on there

Yeah that would be brilliant! Its clear that there is a lot of talent in the creativity department among the fans, so lets get those creative juices flowing peeps!

I have a question: can a picture of a 3d weapon model be concidered art ?

Yeah of course but feel free to alter it if you want it to feel more personal or what-have-you

so are we trying to catalogue the fanart here, or just trying to get a slight flow of pictures?

Ang

Effectively both really. We're thinking of holding competitions for various categories as well.

But for the time being its primarily to get the fan art flowing and for others to discuss what they think of them, anything that could be changed for the better etc

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me . I'll see who I can find around here who'd like to come and contribute some fanart. I'm sure I could probably talk to someone, two, in particular.

Ang

Brilliant that would be great if you could do that. and also anyone else reading this, feel free to bring others into the mix

As a side note, i'll have some time on my hands later this week/next week hopefully, excluding the time taken on the next Daedra......so if anyone has any requests for what they would like to see in 3D or whatever then gimme a shout

Well I would like to see normal people (imperials, bretons redguards and also elves) in different state of ageing..I mean not just young fancy ones but also neat elder men and women..But I have no talent of making them so.......if someone has then it would be most welcome on my behalf!

Well, i can safely say i didn't see that one coming! :eek:

Milanius's blade looks great! The way the image is set up gives us both up close details and an overall idea of the size of the weapon. Also the palette is very neutral and natural.

great work! :goodjob:

Heyyy, thanx !!! Personaly, I`m thinking that Stargelman`s description of it is, actually, much better than the picture itself; but, since it is a 3D model and I am simply not good at lighting & shading in MAX the handle didn`t turned out as I wanted :paperbag2: although it has reflection of its own (it`s polished wood on a brand new greatsword, jeez - reflect already !)... but it`s OK, I`ll live.
Right now I am working on a new weapon - a huge steel greataxe - d12 die-barbarian style - and here`s the sneak preview . I am thinking celtic ornaments right now, so this is far from over... just give me time.

p.s. : on a side note, with all the work in my firm and here at home, my story is suffering I`m sorry for the delay, but I hope next week I`ll have some time to explore Morrowind`s regions, think and get something on paper/notepad.

Do you use photoshop much for post rendering? When i do my 3D stuff i often use photoshop to tidy bits up, anti-alias dubious regions and apply a greater sense of detail to the textures.

Only at work, since we have a legal copy here (at least they say it`s legal ). At home I use some other stuff, but PS is really my main weapon of choice. As for post-rendering... I don`t even know the meaning of that expression nah, I just fool arround with filters, layers and brushes.

Post-rendering is when you 'tidy' up any rough areas where polys cross each other or joints look a little slack on the model etc

Too... many.. quotes!

I agree with minque. Aging people would be neat to see.

lol ok i'll try and stop quoting...


oh....bugger

I like your fanart Dawkwing, but I don't do any because I can't draw. Period. End of story.

If you guys have any criticisms of the Daedra art then please let me know. We have a lot more to go and it would be nice to hear what you guys think is working well and what isn't working as well etc

Cheers

DW

As far as I can see it´s great! i´m very satisfied with the Daedra-pictures, in fact I would like to see more of that kind!

I'm flattered but there must be parts you don't like, such as Mehrune's mouth etc etc

well...when you mention it maybe the quaity sometimes is not prfect, but that can be my videocard..hmm but that one is fairly new so...don´t know

How are they done? photoshop or what?

I added grain to the images as i hate the perfect 'gleam' that 3D renders have. So its not your video-card, its deliberate

Oh?? ha! interesting.....have to look at them again, with other eyes.....

I really love the Daedra Arts! Keep them coming.

darkwing how long it take u to do onve those pics

Think it takes some time...

2 days to model and then i touch the images up on Monday before its release.

you´re a fast one Darkey? :goodjob:

lol shush thats a vicious rumour

oki I´ll keep it secret then...hehe

well i will attempt some stuff in the near future. not sure they will be up to Drkwings standards , but I will give it a go

Real quick question for the technologically illiterate (SP) is there anyways you can convert a BMP to a JPG?

I don't qualify as technically illiterate, but you can just use an image editor. Try Paintshop Pro or any other image editor that isn't braindead (ie isn't MS Paint).

most programs that can open .bmp end .jpg files can save out to either.
