Description
The way of the warriorIs the path of shadows
The gift of the warrior
Is to pursuit
What cannot be seen
The spirit of the warrior
Is to strike
In a single moment
The destiny of the warrior
Is balance
In all things
And when balance is lost
All that is left
Is... the reckoning.
A 3D Studio Max render of a Creature Creator character. Scenery modeled in 3DS. Helmet modeled in Organica. All textures handmade in Painter. Volumetric fog effects and lighting composed in 3DS. Straight render, without retouches.
I'm a FAN of the StarCraft game universe. I was sitting, bored, browsing TechTV when I saw the TV ad of the upcoming game StarCraft: Ghost... and that inspired me. The words written as a poem are actually the off-line narration of the commercial. And because I can't use the same model that the game, I came out with my own warrior. 
This is a more refined version of the original graphic The Way Of The Warrior , with a higher resolution and more texturing work on the body surfaces. On this one I used a secondary group of lights to show the environment on the background (that extends 360° around her). I can't explain why, but this is one of my favorite graphics, and everytime I learn something new, I look back to see what can I add to make it better. I hope you like it.

I love it,, A change I'd like to see would have been a mask smiular to her body suit, showing no skin at all. Kind of a spawn feel to it

I think it's a GREAT idea. Will try to use the wireframe and add a different texture, using this character in a different scene. Thanks, Jay!.

You are the god of 3D Art.
.. your great ideas never stop.. sometimes I wonder what kind of mind you have 
I think my favorite part of this piece is .. well, a lot of things.
To begin with, the title. I know I always say this but titles are very very important, you know what I mean?
Secondly, I love the fact that the model is a WOMAN! That is so wonderful hehe.
The perspective, the dark background .. Very Nice.
oh and you were inspired by a commercial How cute!

I have a MRI Scan around here, and it looks fine.
Of course I know what you mean. Sometimes is the hardest part of doing a graphic for me.
Ah, women are the most powerful beings of the universe.
Thanks.
Ah, that always inspires me. I know the guys who design some of them, and trust me, they spend months working all day and night just to deliver you 29 seconds of fun.
