Hey Darth, did you ever consider Darth Bane after your current project? Micah Giiett, Plo-koon's master and Ki-Adi-Mundi's predecessor in the Jedi Council is also a nice selection. I don't know all that much about the EU, but these to characters would be nice to have. I think Bane may have a cameo in EP III from what I've read....

how the hell would they fit in an over 1000 year old sith into episode 3... i don't see it happening.

Well, I'll just say that it was on one of the scripts I've seen.

That's really funny that you mentioned that keo. Bane was actually one of the first characters I was going to do, until I realized I needed more practice modeling before I tackled him. Joruus was a simpler model to make, so I started him and things have gone pretty well. I've learned alot about modeling from this project. I've been stopping by the polycount message boards recently, and the work there is amazing. Hopefully, I'll be able to produce that kind of quality one day. So, Bane is a possibility for the future, but I still haven't made a definitive decision as to what I will do next.
Micah Giiett is a more simple one. Only thing is I couldn't really find good pics for him. Just one or two from a distance.
About your current model, my only crtique is that maybe you should blend in the shading more on the abdominal section.

Yeah, that's one of the things I'm working on for the final skin.

just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents on another project, DV. i'm finishing up the sounds for joruus, been busy with work though so it's taking longer than i'd like. if/when the time comes you need help on another project, you know who to turn to. *hint* *hint*
:D
So many characters, so little time. I like doing the EU characters since they allow a certain amount of artistic license.
adillon, no rush on the sounds, and don't worry, you'll be the first one I contact to help with my next model.
o yeah that model is sweet man. but who is that guy? lol i have no idea who it is u are making a model of. so who is it?:D
haha is the clone of the jedi master Jorus C' Baoth it was introduced in Timothy Zahn's novels "Heir To The Empire" "Dark Force Rising" and "The Last Command" same novels where Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn were introduced.
hey Darth Vigrid i just want to say the model looks great as it is now but i would greatly appreciate it if you would also make a version of him with his hair like in these pics, i know you took the cover of the novel as a reference, but in the comic version of the last command his hair looks great, take a look the pointy hair makes him look like a real badass

Darth, this guy looks kind of serious too....
Tyvokka, Wookie Jedi Master

-copy and paste-
However, this model would require a great amount of detail.
Actually I was mistaken Micah Giiett was not Plo Koons master, it was this guy. Rather Plo Koon and Micah went on several missions together.
frendon, those are some cool pics, never seen them before, Maybe I will make an update in the future after the first one is complete.
Wow, a wookie is tough enough, but a jedi wookie is unstoppable, cool character.
Yes, cool character indeed. Its also cool that he's Plo Koons master.

OK thanks, i have the thrawn trilogy in comics and Joruus looks really cool in there, i see you are looking for more characters to model so i scanned other pics for you they are also from the last command's comic, the character's name is Mazzic is a smuggler/mercenary and looks really cool, i have a lot of reference pics if you decide to make him :)

Sorry frendon, but It's right about midterm time an I'm not having much time to work on the model. After this weekend, I'll probably be able to get some more work done on it.
and what about mazzic? did u checked the pics? what do u think?
He's an interesting character, I'll put him on the list of possibilites for my next model.

ok thanks :D that's good enough for me.
Any progress Darth Vigrid? It's been a while since you've posted anything. C'baoth was looking good.
Sorry for the complete lack of updates, there really hasn't been anything to say. School has been really overwhelming as of late, and I probably wont be able to put the finishing touches on the model until the Christmas break.
*sigh* that stinks.... what u gotta finish....
Amazing model. Honestly, iit would seem to be very close to perfect...what DOES need to be done?
Hey Darth, like to read that you are fine and kickin' I didn't see you here in the forums in a while, How is Joruus coming? Hope you find some time and do some work on him, but we are all busy as same, so don't rush and take your time.
Also, I like to thank you for all the help that you give me before. I just started my own WIP, hope you like it, its also an expanded universe character.
Laaaaaate!
Yay it is Christmas break :)
YAY! Lets see this done man!!!
Hellfire
p.s. Good luck!
hopefully proggress on this model is going well........So, that being said,.....Farewell and may the force be with you! lol!
Ok, Ok so here's the current situation for anyone who's still interested. The model has been basically done for awhile with just a few glitches, but I'm willing to overlook them for now. This was the first model I've ever created and I really knew nothing about the basics of the efficient use of polys (this pretty simple model is over 3000), but I've been hanging out over at polycount.com and have been learning alot. And the glitches I've been stressing over stem from a bad use of polys. I'm willing to release this beta version as soon as I can get everything together, but I first need to contact adillon to see If he's still interested in making the sounds. Well that's pretty much everything. Sorry again about the insanely long wait.
Wow, sounds great darth. I saw some shots of the model awhile back and....
Impressive....most impressive....
If your willing to send me a beta version I would gladly take it!
(even without the sounds included, :) )

Thank-you much for the effort friend, and KEEP UP the Good work!
hey those are great news!!! u know i have being following this model from the beginning i'm so happy that it will finally be released!!

you know it DV ... i'm still ready, willing, and able to do them.
so this is soon to be realeased i take it? That's awesome! But take your time.
Ok, that's great news adillon, just contact me or post here when you have them completed. No rush though.
Hey, that's some good work there Darth Vigrid! Looks very true to the extended universe books. The Thrawn Trilogy was one of my favorites.
However, those MP3 clips on your site for his voice; they sound cool, but they seem a little too low. I know they are a rough cut I'm sure it's not easy creating the voice, but maybe try something a little more raspy and worn. Sort of like Anakin's voice in Return of the Jedi (mask off) but more deranged.
Well, regardless, you're still doing a great job! Can't wait to play it!
i know it's been posted a while back, but i'm such a nice guy, i'll reiterate a few things regarding joruus' voice.
although he was old, he seemed to be in pretty good physical shape, so his voice will be 'healthy' sounding (is that makes sense)
sometimes when he spoke, his voice had no emotion whatsoever, as though he were just stating a fact ... at other times he was full of rage ... his taunts/sounds will reflect both emotional states
when joruus WAS in a fit of rage, he somehow managed to project his voice in a booming, echoing manner ... the appropriate taunts/sounds will reflect this
DV, i'm thinking of cutting down on the 12 total taunts we had originally come up with ... the more i thought about it, the more i realized that some of them don't 'feel' like appropriate taunts. at the same time, i was thinking of using a couple of them for his near death and death sounds. stay tuned ...
Well it sounds like you've got everything under control adillon. Do what you want with the sounds, I'm sure they'll do the character justice.
DV, expect some NEW sounds this weekend (or monday at the latest). i hope i can do the character justice. ;)
Sounds good, looking foward to what you come up with.
