Eklin Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Well, he needs much larger eyebrows. And make his eyes..... older. Right now he looks like a little kid with bright eyes and a cheery face. But he's supposed to be out fighting the clone wars, so he should look kinda tired and..... well, old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eklin Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 That's a great improvement. But as you can see in this picture: http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/kiadimundi/index_movie.html It still needs some work. The purplish age markings on his cheeks should be more of a reddish/orange color, and he needs to be darked (purple) under his eyes. Also, his lips should be a blend of the skin color and the purple that you used (right now it looks like he has lipstick on ), and the creases in the back of his head need to be more definite. Lastly, his facial hair still needs a lot of work. It's not really blending too well with his skin. I really like the detail you've got around his eyes, and at the top of his nose. Now you've just got to cary that detail up to the top of his cranium as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this pic as a refference for the purple cheeks. http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/j.hagmeijer/kiadimundi.jpg As for the rest of your points, I agree with them.

Eklin Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 It looks really good now, but for the pony-tail, mustache and beard, you should try to put a little transparency in some areas, so that it doesn't look so solid. I think Kman posted up some stuff on transparency in the "Help Yoda Ghost" thread located at http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72454 Hope that helps.

inbredyokel Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 once you're finished with the clothing, you might want to select each garment by color, desaturate it, and then play with the levels and hues to bring it back to the correct color, because right now it looks like there are portions of the clothing that are shooting out of the correct color range because they're oversaturated.

Wes Marrakesh Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 hmm... looks good. you might try making the skin (hands and face) a little less bright, i think it will help with the 'old and tired' image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth-Nasty Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 yeah i think the colours on his head look a bit bright. it looks like he's glowing:) great work so far tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkum Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 His eyes, he seems so WIRED, like he just downed 30 double mocha lattes. He needs bigger eyebrows too. Otherwise, he looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillon Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 i think he is looking a little too colorful ... needs to be a little paler, like in this picture and this one. PLUS i think you shouldn't be able to see his eyes so clearly ... they should be a little more "sunken" in and in shadow. and lastly, like Elkin posted, his moustache and goatee DO look solid and seem like they've been glued on his face ... not quite looking natural enough, you know? i've been thinking that most of the models/skins out there have all the cool stuff going on in front. i realize this thread's dedicated to the skin, however, it would be cool if his ponytail moved around when he ran, much like aayla secura's lekku. i'm really psyched about this guy ... keep up the great work.

Grafox Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hi, I am working on the pale thing. You seem to be right about the eyes. I'dd also love to see the ponytail move. Post in the ki-adi mundi thread in the modeling forum to talk to the modeler. Also, I have alpha'd the beard, but I need a glm to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafox Posted August 2, 2002 Author Share Posted August 2, 2002 Update. Adjusted the area around the eyes to be darker. Made the skin a little paler. Update Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Remove the purple and it would be perfect... The purple in that one ref pic is due to the purple light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eklin Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Now that I've seen what you're working from, I really think you need to add more texture. Right now, everything looks nice and smooth, but in the ref pic, his skin looks kinda weathered, and his outfit looks kinda frayed/fuzzy. You could just speckle the skins a little bit and it'd give this kinda impression. Or you could try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafox Posted August 3, 2002 Author Share Posted August 3, 2002 Yes, good points eklin. I changed the color of the outfit somewhat. Here's the first ingame screenshot. Clickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.O Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Nice job! But somehow (really shouldn't matter) it seems that his lips aren't really that purple. Maybe I've been looking at the reference screens the wrong way. ;-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillon Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 he seems to look different in-game than in the other pics you've posted ... different meaning better. something with the lighting or whatever. glad to see the screenie is of him in the jedi council room. keep up the great work!
