Put him in a whiskey glass, it will add more drama to the entry.

is there an sbs coming as required???

The shadows are wrong. It's hard in the back and blurry in front and the head doesn't have a shadow, but the cones do. FYI: entries with only source used and no SBS get removed.

try to add shadow of head

this creature is interesting

original idea!

very nice

looks fantastic

hold up. i've been waiting on a 2 step sbs? that doesn't explain anything? :-S

@elficho, tell me what you want to see and I'll tell you how I did it.

Why not just post a decent SBS in the first place...? Some of us don't know how this stuff works. Actually, was any of this done in Photoshop? Maybe it should be in the 3D section.

@CMYK, overall it's still a digital artpiece and it would worth nothing without the photoshop touches (background, glows, etc.) the following may be a more detailed work progress: 1. I opened a 3d model that I made in cinema 4d software. 2. I duplicated it 6 times. 3. I applied explosion effects on each one of them with different initensities. 4. I loaded the rendered image in to photoshop and put some clouds in the background. 5. I applied waves filter on a lens flare to make the glow. That's pretty much as detailed as I can get, hope that answer your questions.

Amazing idea, i like the final result, you're very creative.

wow!

beautiful!

I truly like the idea. I just started using C4D and know, as you stated, the explosion is a preset effect that is just applied and allows you to run though each stage of the explosion from the segment/intensity amount set. Seems this is a simple use of preset effects in both programs...maybe show how you created the model and add to the SBS to show the work you put into it...Think it will get higher votes, especially from people who know the 3d modeling software. Nice finished product though.

This is a unique entry. I am not sure how this is considered cloning but still a very unique and detailed entry.

thanks all, @woodztockr, you are right that this is a simple use of presets in both programs and I did not say it is anything more. If you get more in to c4d, you'll know that going back to the modelling stage of a face is not such a easy thing to do. And I just realized that the model I used was actually done in zbrush, I followed some tutorials to create it. so you probably can google the tutorial yourself and thank you for the advice. @jawshoewhah, please read the description, thank you for the kind words.

see author, i did not know you can do these things with a couple of clicks. you really should post a decent sbs for a change. you have some pretty cool stuff in your portfolio, but not one good sbs. i don't see a point in making them if you're gonna show me 2 steps without explaining anything. this is a great entry, but you could have taken the head model from another author for all i know correct?

fantastic entry, I would LOVE to see a SBS for this!

this looks sooo cool

LOVE the entry............HATE the SBS!

@elficho, generating a c4d face is really not that hard, there are many programs to help and personnally I used facegen and zbrush to do mine, you can google them. sorry, it's already thursday and I don't want to spend any more time on it/

nice image and effects but i don't see how this is cloning

Amazing!

beautiful job
