    Wasn't he released though? Has he been removed? I'm certain I remember him being released *very confused*

    I thought so, too, but I can't find him and his commercial thread still says "Coming Soon". I've searched under his name, Darwin's, and even Sanjay.

    Pretty sure he wasn't released yet.

    Apologies if this is an awkward question, but do you know/can you say what happened with Dh'morra? When I saw this, I thought I'd missed his release, but your commercial thread for him hasn't been updated either. I thought maybe I'd bought him and forgotten -- I definitely intended to buy him -- but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Regarding the images you posted, I like the look of Jacov. Does seem to be a bit Vladimir-adjacent (this is not at all a bad thing); maybe adding some of that shape will help the look you're aiming for? (And where on earth did you find younger images of Chaim Topol? As far as I can tell from Google Images, he appears to have been born as a middle aged man, making him perfect for "Fiddler on the Roof".)

    Thanks everyone!

    Ah, no- Dh'morra has not been released yet- but his release is coming up soon.  ;)

    Well, there was only one pre Flash of him that I could find, so I took artistic license on reverse aging him a bit. XD  I don't want to add other shapes into the morphs for this pack since it's a set of five custom morph sets I'm making for head/body/total character morphs.  Though it's an intriguing idea to try to see what he'd look like!

    With a beard and the updated upper torso tweaking. Mainly his chest, shoulder and upper back areas were worked on a bit more to get rid of that flatness I didn't like in the first round.

    WIP: Just started the lower jaw/mouth region last night.  I'm going to name this one Rannek.  Anyone wanna guess of the five which is the reference? :D He's wearing Stryker's skin for this one.

    Great work, Darwin! You've really captured the things about Topol that made me put in a request for a lookalike! :)

    From the vaguely Scandinavian name, I'm guessing Rannek is Joel Kinnaman

    Thank you!  I appreciate that.

    Yup- that'd be the reference. ;)

    So the base head so far for Rannek looks good. I'm going to pull him into hex or zbrush to finish off minor details, but here he is so far.  I changed out the skin to Nix 8; seemed to fit the look I was going for better than Stryker's.

    Did a quick 3/4 render- stopped it after 19 minutes at 19% converged.  Still not bad:

    Ha- Thank you, L'Adair!  Beat me to it. :D

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    So, Rannek's morphs are finalized.  I'll post the profile and upper body views when they're done rendering.  Skin, again, is Nix 8 base.

  • Carola OCarola O Posts: 3,823

    Very Nice Dar!

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thanks!

    The other two renders as promised:

  • SaphirewildSaphirewild Posts: 6,668

    He is comming along great DM!!!

    I do think he would look better with a bit of a darker skin possibly, or maybe some freckles!

    Next morph: Named Jo Yun.  Base reference is Park Hyung-sik.  Skin is my Yukio for Lee 8.

    I have two more rendering which I'll post when they are finished.  I still have to go through each morph set to check the eyes (if they close correctly) and make corrective morphs, as well as a couple of JCM's for certain areas.  But, I have one more base head/body/full morph set to finish before starting the fine tuning process. :D

    A full front face shot: I do believe I am in need of much more practice working on facial structures for Asian features.  While I like this morph, it is not where I want it to be.  However, I at least managed to get the lips/nose area to look how I wanted it to.

    We are all our own worst critics, you know. Jo Yun looks great. I am so looking forward to this shape pack!

    Some of the hair in your recent renders make me think someone's been playing with the SBH editor. Can we expect to see these as dForce Hair in the store anytime soon? And if so, will they be from you? Or one of your PA buds?

    (Fingers crossed for an affirmative answer. Those hairs are really nice!)

    Thank you- and always, I am one of my worst critics. XD

    The first and last are from the Sanjay pack- I don't believe the last one (Varun) has dForce, however the first one (Sanjay) shows dynamics in the hair settings.  The middle one is a Genesis 3 Hair set - Short Cropped Hair, which does not have dForce.  I hope to start playing with that, yes.  I still need to carve out time, but that is a goal of mine. ;) 

     

    Last guy- named Roche (a very old name, in fact) based off of Richard Armitage.  This is a tester, with a lot of stuff on him.  I'll do a few more to post tomorrow without the beard and crap after I settle his face and body morphs.  Though I'm keeping this base as a start off for a promo, I think. 

    Just the default loading scene, slapped on some armor, the havock vest, hair and CC's Beard Boss with Evan's skin for Genesis 3 Male and my Dhmorra for Sanjay's eyes.

    Eh- here's a clip from the Iray Preview Window in rendering mode- it's crappy, but you get the idea:

    I like :)

    Thanks!

    Here is the full render of Roche using Evan's skin and Dh'morra's eyes from the preview:

  • KnittingmommyKnittingmommy Posts: 8,191

    I picked up Dh'morra. I'm having a hard time figuring out which version of him to render first. So many options! He looks good DM!

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Aw, thank you!  I'm glad you like him!

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Thanks!

    The other two renders as promised:

    They al look great but I'm really loving this head shot!

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thanks, Sonja!

    Roche again- this time with his body morph and Jared's skin:

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    So, I did the randomizer for my tester: Since this is a character morph pack and not a complete character set, this character morph pack and the second one I plan to do when I come back from visiting family in July will be going to the same tester.

    Who is vwrangler!  :D I have three more testers and the list starts over again!  Note in here or by message if anyone needs/wants to be added/removed, if you need to!

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Ah so I should be coming up soon then lol. Congrats to Vwrangler!

    Thanks! Should be fun. 

  • Carola OCarola O Posts: 3,823

    Grats vwrangler! :) 

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Just about done with fixes and icons and crap!  Soon to start on promos- getting there!

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Hope everyone is doing well!  Had to wait to submit the pack- I didn’t get it uploaded before leaving for the visit to la familia.  :)
