Red face Fallen Knight

Hi guys
Heres my last work with Silo. Cause of the lacking of extensive
Deformers and array-tools the mug and the barrel are done with
C4d, where it's also been rendered.

Modeling a knight in his armor is, so I suppose, an exercise a lot
of modelers are going about. And so did I, but didn't want to
relie on the Black and white Knight clichès.

I tried to make him look drunk, but i'm not sure if I reached the
goal convincingly. Anyhow he appreciates a good mug of beer. And
that should make him some kind of sympathetic, I guess

Cheers
Daniel

Somehow I really never though of that, but now you mentioned it, it seems to be a little disturbing... dammit!

Do you think I should change the foam?
Let's see, if the other also recognize the foam as, you know what.

nice image .

...and I wouldn't worry too much about the foam looking like... *Avert your eyes*... Snow!. No one will notice! haha

But seriously the knight looks rather more surprised than drunk at the moment. A dopier smile and maybe slightly droopy eyes could help here.

But good job anyway.

Foam looks like foam to me. Really nice work. Love the textures.
I think I need a tall blonde one now

Well I can!

They look like sculpted bumps from a plane that is bisected by another plane.

But most of splash should look like mead/ale amber liquid with only a touch of foam here & there. Because that really pulls you out of the pictures 'fun' aspect.

Man, I so reliefed that the thing with the foam isn't that tragic
at all.

The wood texture is from http://www.cgtextures.com

you can find it in the wood / old planks section, it's right on the first page.
Cgtextures is a really great and free texture site, where the resolution an quality are just gorgeous.

Great looking picture, the only thing I could suggest is maybe make his nose red so he seems more drunk.

Haha I thought the beer things was intentional and a stroke of genius! It is kind of a subversive and subliminal hint at what happens when people get really drunk.Either way well done.

Please post this up on CGTalk I think lots of people will get the joke!

Sorry to dissappoint you, but it really never was intentional. And I already postet it over at cgtalk and no one ever mentioned any similarities to some body fluids ;-)
