bhanlon7 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Today I started work on a Palpatine head. This is what the final darkside transition looks like so far. http://img240.echo.cx/img240/2223/palp1ug.jpg Does his skin look too green? In the portrait I am using, he doesn't look very green, but in other photos I have seen, he is about as green as the skin I've got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the portrait I am using, he doesn't look very green, but in other photos I have seen, he is about as green as the skin I've got there. I'd almost go with a more pinkish / pale look... (hints of purple can help with the shading)... Do a Google image search and you can find dozens of images where his face has a more pasty flesh tone... Other than that, it's looking great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yep, I agree with ChAiNz This looks good so far though. This will be very popular I'm sure. Lookin' forward to seein' what it looks like when it's finalized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhanlon7 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 When the hood is off, it kind of looks like a green Sion (that's why I put on the robe for the screenshot). And the light/semi-dark transitions will make him look human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwaz Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 That face texturing is looking great! When is the possible release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin_Katarn Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I have pictures of palp that I would send to you, if you like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 it looks great, i think this will be a really good head reskin because there is a very good oppurtunity to make the darkside transitions look very good, since in episode 3 you see the DS transtitions throughout the movie.

bhanlon7 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 I started over with a different head model. I had been using one of the male player heads, but I decided to switch over to an NPC head. Here are some shots with the portraits I am using. http://img216.echo.cx/img216/2628/palpatine1wr.jpg I think I might have added a bit too much purple into the darkside face, but it does look awfully close to the color of the portrait.

Mav Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I think it looks very close, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwaz Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Looking very good, but i think that you should have the first portrait of plapatine how he was in episode 1, then episode 2 for next transition and finally him as darth sidious. The texturing is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I like the new head much better, it is alot closer to the real thing. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Maker Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Wow, that looks sweet! I like how you chose to redo Grenns head for Palpatine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSquall Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Good call on using Grenn/Davik's head instead. My suggestions: The Grenn head is much stronger looking than Palpatines so a few ways of reducing that might be: -if you can give him more of a 'bum-chin' it'd soften the jaw line -if you could do something with the texture (or the model I guess) to make the nose seem smaller it'd help. Also, if you can adjust the lips on the LS model so it looks like he has the half-frown it'd help, as the grenn model has a Patrick Stewart-esque half-grin - he always looks a little pleased by default, whereas Palpatine usually looks... not. That's all I've got for now. It's looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
