Hey Guys,
I’ve been extremely occupied as of late with house renovations hence the reason I couldn’t provide any project updates.
This project was originally scheduled for Halloween 2022. Unfortunately, I had more important things to attend to which required my attention.
This update is rather old as I am almost done sculpting and modeling the skin and stitches which would render the project complete.
I created an eye animation to breathe a bit of life into it.
About the eye…I followed Kent Trammell’s epic Human course to achieve a realistic eye. I still have to add eye meniscus and lashes.
I haven't done any retopo. Shape keys were added and animated on a sculpted mesh.
The fingers located at the very bottom of this post will be placed on the side cover of the book together with the stitches. They won't be all linear. Will alter every finger to illustrate randomness.
There are a few issues I have picked up along the way that will be rectified such as the metal shader however, I am quite pleased with my progress.
Have a blessed day everyone.
One of those rather rare occasions when I totally agree with the staff on their pick. I’ve given up trying to figure out the criteria by which the staff picks are being made a long time ago, but this one I would’ve picked myself: and a lot quicker than the staff did (take that, CG Cookie jury😝🤣).
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you so much. 😊 🙏
I can sense the passion from one LOK fan to another. This would be my most ambitious project ever, even bigger than Metal Gear Solid. Creating Kain, Raziel, Melchiah, Zephon, Turel, Rahab and Dumah would be an amazing achievement. My animation skills are sadly lacking a bit but it is a skill I am trying to evolve in. But regardless to the above I can't wait to start that project.
Awesome work Bennie!
I always admire your attention to detail in your work, again you achieve such amazing quality.
Staff Pick 🏆
Wow, I am completely speechless, Adrian! 😱 I don't know what to say, only that I am truly grateful for the pick and honoured. Thank you for this awesome acknowledgement and amazing feedback. This project is still a WIP. I can't believe this. Now I am left with no choice but to finish it. Thank you again, Adrian. 😊 🙏
This turned out wonderfully, Bennie. This feels like an asset that belongs in one of my favorite sagas in games, The Legacy Of Kain. Love the freaky fingers at the end, don't know where you used them in the book. Keep up the awesome work man.
Thank you for the kind feedback Omar. 😊 🙏 Ahhh...Legacy of Kain, I am a huge fan as well. I am planning on sculpting Raziel in his Vampiric form. I'm almost done with one of his brethren, Melchiah. I love the opening score in Soul Reaver composed by Ozar Midrashim called "Don't be afraid". The fingers will be placed on the side cover of the book. Thank you again, Omar. 😊 🙏
