Hello everyone,I'm Shadow Explorer,
here's some characters from a project i have in development.

As a project it started 10 years ago by me and a good friend
I started to learn 3d in 2006 using 3ds max and
one year ago i switched to softimage as my main modelling program
(i can model in maya too)







for now its a just a portion of the work done so far (in softimage),i hope you like it

Very nice!
Could you tell us a little bit more about the project?
Is this meant for an animation or for a game for instance?

My dream is to make it a video game,thats why i went 3d in the 1st place,however i dont have the knowledge needed (mainly programming)but i miss other skills in 3d as good rigging...

so i create the content,like they are going to be in a game,and i plan making an illustrated book of the story
the story itself takes place in a fantasy world were variations of real world civilizations exist in the same timeline
there are also other fantasy influences as well

the story follows a group (or band should i say ) of adventurers
the characters themselfs are inspired of my friends,and some famous people i admire
but since i ran out of them i continoued using ref from the internet (for their faces that is)

an example :


and a steam locomotive

Hirazi Blue thanks for the comment,im glad you like it^^

instead of looking back to old stuff im gonig to post my current wips^^


a man of war ship, it will loosely based on hms victory (when finished hehe

and my favorite car, part of jgtc series
jgtc toyota supra

I have changed the title of the thread to reflect the fact you changed it to a more general WIP thread... Feel free to change it to anything more appropriate...

i have no problem with the name,
they are still part of the same story though (yes i know it sounds weird,until everything is explained)^^

for instance
for central europe will be portrayed in a gothic\neogothic style
greece will still keep its ancient style but its a fantasy story

and japan will be portrayed more or less the same way as it is today

this thing will be sinjuku square one day,thats where the cars fit^^

Oops, my mistake, I'll change it back!!!

well,im sorry,maybe its my fault,not be able to explain everything that the project is,
its going on for about 3,5 years of 3d modeling

so i posted stuff i recently did with softimage (well the steam train is half max half softimage),and see if people have something good or bad to say about them^^

for now on i will post current stuff and maybe do some back tracking at times
after all when i finish the project,you will be able to see everything

Sounds like a hek of a project. Good luck with it. The models looks great - keep us updated!

thanks a lot for the comment Zafar^^

here's what im working on right now,to break the continuous work with the car

the texture its just a projection with zbrush zapplink for now,the face is unwrapped though



and an update on supra
