Description
Hey guys! This was my entry for the contest and I made it in. Not very far but It's somewhere. My main issue for the render was the materials. So I wanted to go back to it and fix it and add some bump maps to it as well. This isn't a re-entry for the contest, I just wanted to fix the problems with it. I made the shine and fur less intense with this render. Here's a link to the old render: dillanmurillo.deviantart.com/a…Thanks to: for the textures

Shadow's mouth looks a bit distorted and some textures looked a little bit warped. In my opinion, the gloves' texture normals are too high.

Yeah something went wrong with the bumpmapping in this one. I could fix it but don't really feel it necessary atm. Maybe in the future I'll revise it

I will say: on one hand, this is kinda "too" detailed, but on the other hand, it gives is a comic strip look, as if you make a 3d model from a 2d archie image (which is cool).

Thanks, yeah I experimented with a couple of things here and there. I've worked it out now though

you fix a lot of things but you make others worse , but i love this one more , just a little advice try to make the bump maps a little less and try smoothing the model you know (smooth or turbo smooth )

I hate to be kind of a dick here, but I think it looks worse, but lte me try to give a little constructive criticism to help you improve,
1: the glove texture is too small and very intense, try making the texture have more bumbs and adjust it till it seems normal
2: you seem to got the fur in the ears
3: the teeth seem very fake, now im not saying I could do much better myself ( fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201… I've had the same issue before) but try making it darker around the sides because the teeth would normal be dark (as thier inside the mouth)
4: try reflecting the hand on the eyes (this could be done in photoshop or somrthing similar) it would give it a 3d effect (might look extra good if you reflect the back of the hand)
Besides those things I do think the material on the head and reflections on the rings and shoes look good
anyway im not saying you have to update this render but keep it in mind for next time (your bound to only keep getting better ^-^ )

No need to call yourself a dick. I love receiving advice for renders ^^ I do agree on most of what you say. However since this was an old tampered project there was so much I could do without it looking awkward. And I didn't want to have to restart the pose

Haha no, the bump maps came out more intense then they should've. I didnt want to have to redo the pose to fix it cause I did something with the old project to have made the bump maps pop out like that.
