Eets Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 You sure? I have great pics of his helmet, fingers, and boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
short_ent Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 He looks great for the most part! I do have a coulple critiscisms to make 1. His waist should have more volume. His robes are massive and his belt cuts through them. So there should be a little more over hanging robe on the top of the belt and a little more puff to the robe just below the belt. 2. I don't think you should even attempt making Gandalf the White out of this same model. Gandalf the Gray has a thick heavy wool robe that is simple and messy. When he returns after the battle with the Balrog in the pits of Middle Earth he is transformed. He is wearing thin, light , robes on. They are still simple but are completely different in style. So, it's a lot of work but, you can do it. Quite frankly I think your one of the best modelers we have. 3. As for Suaron... The best armour shot in all of the Felowship of the Ring footage is on the special features disk. Got to the "Special Edition Preview" and towards the end of the film, there is about a 3 second blip of footage that shows Sauron, full armor as in the battle sequence, from mid thighs up. You will be able to pause and get a side view and a frontal view. I hope I have helped a little. Talk to yah later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 well Eets, if you can get a look at what short_ent was talking about, that whole special feature stuff, id like a look see. uvwmapping is almost done, it might be a little ugly at some parts but shouldnt cause too much trouble for a skilled skinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds nice... well think about it and give me an email ---- short_ent@iolwest.com---- or post a forum... see yah round "they are the Nazgul... niether living nor dead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Well, I like LotR, but not enough to be in a clan based on it. I'll help out with models as much as I can though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk_of_war Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 The hat wasn't blue (I believe), it was a very dark grey. His cloak ws also darker too. Otherwise it's coming along very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grafox Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I agree on the cloak, but the hat is blue: http://www.iespana.es/esencia/esencia21/Especial-LOTR/Peliculas/Gandalf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk_of_war Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 eh, ok, must have been those lighting effects in the mine messing with my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiThLoRd><1000 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 That looks kicking Grafox! Are you going to make the line where alot of his hair meets his face not so straight so it looks kind of "unkept"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SWS]Strider Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 That's looking real cool. The more LOTR the better. *****Spoiler****** You think you could make a Gandalf the white also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chrono_MOT- Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 I thought Christopher Lee played 'Saruman', not Sauron. I thought Sauron was the evil guy who wants the ring so he can reclaim Middle Earth....right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 I think the model looks great. One suggestion though. I think that the mustache looks a bit strange. I think that maybe the mustache should overlap the lips a bit. But that's just my view. Other then that the model looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
