Massive LONESTAR Poster (3D Poser)

Ultra_Violence · 02-01-2008 02:56 PM

Wow.

Dang if you do that for fun you should ask for commission to make players characters into posters/desktop pictures. Probably a lot of people who'd love to have a really cool picture like that of their fav character.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

I'm still a Serra fanboi after all these years

Love this piece, absolutely amazing work.

Wow! Nice to see Positron himself popping in here! Thanks for the comment =)

Out of curiosity, Darkjedi, are you using DAZ Studio, Poser, or some other rendering app?

[/ QUOTE ]

I use Vue Infinite. Daz/Poser rendered just don't cut it for me - I'm not a fan of shadow mapping. I prefer actual ray-tracing and not simulations. The downside is that Vue renders incredibly slow (some of these characters required 7 hours to render).

Your artwork is amazing.

I think this last work will generate a lot of commission interest for you. Good luck!

Celestial_Fury · 02-01-2008 03:21 PM

Awesome artwork.

I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Another amazing job, Doug.

I've been a fan of your work since I first saw that Champions adventure supplement you wrote, The Zodiac Conspiracy. The color inserts of all the characters was what really put that over the top.. and for what it's worth, I loved the characters and concepts [like villians who weren't actually EVIL, and could be interacted with in Roleplaying scenarios as well,they were more like rivals] that I still use most of those characters today.. and I still have the adventure, still with the color art insert.

I even still have the GURPs supers books you contributed art to as well, and even in those early days I knew you had something special going on.

Keep on rocking in a free world, Doug.

Dark Ether · 02-01-2008 03:37 PM

Wow! Four rednames so far - this one is bringing them outta the woodwork!!

And here I wasn't even sure most of them knew there was an art forum.

I'm hoping you can take on Tanks soon, as well!

Stop it, you are making everyone else look bad.

Well done.

Also double cool points to the cowboy knight.

Ursus · 02-01-2008 03:46 PM

That's some great art!

The links in your sig killed too much time at work. Very nicely done.

Sampoerna · 02-01-2008 03:51 PM

I just found my newest screen saver. Absolutely wonderful job. I wish someone in our VG has such talent and dedication. I'm sure your SG is proud to have you as a member.

Awesome work as usual, Doug! Just a few questions:

1) When did Statesman go emo?
2) Where can I get those Giant Robot Gundam legs in-game?!?
3) When is someone going to finally snatch you up and put you to work on a regular comic?!?

So give him a job designing a new CoH splash screen!

Its time to update that pic and hiring a "contractor" means you wouldn't have to bother the art people.

So it's like trick or treating on Halloween?

I'm hoping for just the treats, though.

I started this project back in October, when I got my hands on one of the new figures by Vexiphine. It's a new model for Victoria 4 and looked perfect for my very own Light-Speed. I modelled her up, and the new figure was SO awesome to use, I modelled another SG member... and then another.

After a few weeks, I'd modelled over half my SG (LoneSTAR, located on Victory), so I kept going and ended up making 3D models of all 41 members.

I spent the last week putting together a setting for the characters, placing them in the all-too-familiar Atlas Park.

This is the final piece in small size. The actual image is 31" tall and 60" wide, as 200 dpi.

Here's a detail shot so you can see the full resolution;

And finally, I used the source images to make online sigs for every person in my SG. Didn't take long since I already had the core renders done;

Good lord Doug! No wonder you been gone for so long lol!

Freaking amazing as alwats but you knew that. The fact that ya have 4 rednames posting up is proof enough that this is quite possibly the best poser you've done to date.

Always been a huge fan of yours but you have definitely outdone yourself here my friend! I love it and i'm sure everyone in Lonestar is loving this as well. Gratz to you on this crowning achievement!!

Fantastic brother!!

Heh. That's not Statesman. That's Texas Titan, who founded Lone STAR.

That's the real question, isn't it? It still boggles my mind that he doesn't work for a comics or gaming company.

Once again, DJ, you've done amazing work. Thanks for the fantastic art!

Holy macarena... that's some excellent work. I am very impressed.
