WIP Flying Dutchman Project: Cursed & Uncursed

[Black Iron Oyster]

Awesome job Legendary_Spider!

 

[Legendary_Spider]

Thank you.

One down. Nine to go. I guess I'm gonna have to accept them having square mouths unless I can figure something out.

Can't get any useable images of the actual faces for the uncursed gun ports, so I'm improvising and using gargoyles as my models. Since that's what they remind me of.

Spoiler: Gargoyles

One down. Nine to go.

Impressive!

But is it just me, or is the gold really VERY gold compared to the rest of the texture?
I suppose tweaking the colour balance can be done later, once you are further with this.
At the moment it is quite difficult to tell anyway.

Indeed, I'm afraid you're stuck there until somebody decides to tackle the remodeling required.
Recommandation: Maintain a list of "model change requests".

I definitly see a human, lion and fish head there.

 

[Black Iron Oyster]

Can't wait to see it in-game, going to be fantastic!

From bow to stern it seems to be Human - lion - fish 3x, then human.

She's not finished. The colors will be adjusted further as I go along. This is mainly to give me a visual idea of what it will look like.

Don't forget though, the uncursed Dutchman is covered in gold. More of which, I'll be adding soon.

That's what I figured.

Also just giving myself a rough idea of how the canon ports will appear. I plan on them looking much better on the final product.

The last texturing project I tackled of this magnitude took me a couple months to finish. So be patient.

Play with the Empress, Queen Anne's Revenge, or the Black Pearl in game to see what I mean. Haha

Trying to find the appropriate gargoyles to match is difficult.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Trying to find the appropriate gargoyles to match is difficult.

I can imagine. No worries though; I doubt anyone will be quite as picky as you are anyway.

From my side, I'm not asking for "perfection". Better than what we have now is good enough for me.

 

[Black Iron Oyster]

Yeah, I would never note nor mind the difference, just the improvement is already great!

 

[Legendary_Spider]

My dear lads, I'm afraid perfection is the only thing I strive for.

Current progress on the uncursed Dutchman. These extensive texturing projects are a bit more exhausting than I remember. lol

 

[Black Iron Oyster]

Fantastic!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Yep, fantastic indeed!

 

[Legendary_Spider]

Starting on some of the gold trim.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

That's some nice detailing!

 

[Legendary_Spider]

That's some nice detailing!

Thanks. I finally had to paint that trim by hand.

 

[Legendary_Spider]

Even more golden trim. It's starting to take shape. Still a very long way to go though.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Still a very long way to go though.

You already HAVE come a long way. She looks decidedly more impressive already!
Just compare to the first picture you posted yesterday: WIP - Cursed Flying Dutchman Project | Page 8 | PiratesAhoy!

Thank you. You're right. I made a decent dent in one day. I'm really putting everything I have into this.
That's it for me for the night though. I'm tired and I have work in 7 hours. I'm really happy everyone is liking it so far. I'm hoping the 3D illusion is coming across.
