Tyranid Lictor

Artwork Finished Projects
#1

After many long hours, I have finally finished the render of my Sci-Fi creature, the Tyranid Lictor from the game Warhammer 40,000. Some of you may have seen the Focused Critique WIP thread I started. Thanks to everyone who helped me finish this thing.

It may look a little dark to those of you on CRT monitors. Ever since I upgraded to a bright LCD, my renders tend to look darker on CRTs. If it is a problem, please say so.

What do you think? This is my first organic character that I have finished. I have learned a lot, including LSCM uvmapping, and organic modeling techniques.

C&C please.

bout time we seen this in finished projects !

it looks amazing man…really, its awesome.

#3

omg wow… this is simply amazing :o
no crits!

#4

Well, I have a very dark CRT monitor (apparently), and it looks fine. If by fine you mean fantastic, which I do. Looks like a cross between a scorpion, crocodile and a robot. Great stuff !
It’s not a crit, but why is the tail glowing ?

If this is your first finished organic character then methinks you should finish more of them… :wink:

#5

My God! :o

Only too bad it’s a copyrighted char already.

Whoa, looks totally awesome. is that thing rigged? you make a killer animation with that.

Also, what’s the poly count? bet it’s really high lol. Anyway, keep blending!

#7

Awesome awesome and ill say it again, Awesome!

If its rig and you cant make an animation because its too heavy then defenitely make a nice scene and put him in a more “live” pose. Something like in war or such. Right now I am imagining him standing on the top of a rock calling a charge…

Awesome work. I had been following the focused critic once in a while too.

Thanks for all the replys guys!

nehpets: Yea, I have been working on this for what seems like forever. Glad I finally finished it. Thanks.

GML: Thanks a lot.

Rhysy 2: Lol, the tail isn’t glowing. It is just the red light hitting it. I figured the red side lighting would make a cool effect. Glad you like it.

vliegtuig: Thanks! I know, but it is only going to be in my portfolio so I don’t think it should be a problem.

Slèpnyrl: No, I never got around to rigging it. :frowning: I am not much of an animator. Glad you like it.

Thanks to everyone who has replied sofar. If you have any crits, please say so.

#14

Looks amazing!

#15

that is awsome!!
you planning on making more from warhammer 40k

#16

Actually, I was planning on possibly making a few low poly space marines just to give low poly modeling a try.

Do you play the game?

#17

I got 4 stars on CGTalk! It will probably go down again, but thanks to everyone who voted for me here.

#18

no but my brother got into it.

I did not like the prices on them and the game itself but I loved the models.
I also really liked the stories,lore and books.

#19

I used to play. I like the Eldar a lot, and I had an Eldar army .

Sweet modeling. Awesome texturing. I’ve never seen a golden base though. :wink:

#20

Lol, yea, I threw that in there just for looks. I don’t think a black base would look to good on a black background. And since I am one of those guys who likes shiney things, I just had to make it reflective. :wink:
