This is giving me serious nostalgia for the PS1.

That's what I was going for! I love that particular look / feel.

Shit, I'd actually pay to be PS1-ified.

Nice work. I find that operating within such limited constraints is really fun. It definitely takes some practice and skill, but the limitations make it all the better.

Thank you!

I find it a lot of fun for sure, and for an amateur like myself it's almost perfect for letting me finish models without having to worry too much about how detailed it is. At the same time though, it's challenging because you've got to really make everything count. I'm sure tomorrow I'll be squinting at the textures and further refining them haha

If Snake from MGS1 could have a more rounded butt, I'm sure you can do the same. lol

There's a joke about meylans and donkeys and asses in there somewhere

Oh i love low poly stuff textured with kinda stylized pixel art! What program did ya use to model? Ive been thinking of trying to model stuff too but dunno which program suits lower poly stuff best

Thank you!

Blender for the model, Photoshop for the texture!

nice! thanks

Damn... seeing this makes me realise I never looked into or learned that much about Reliquary... Still, this fella stands on his own well enough! Heyo, terrible modelling joke! Don't you just love my comments?

Anyway! Just seeing more of this work of yours is really cool! Whilst I never played too many games on the PSOne, I can still really appreciate this style of yours! It seems like it meshes well with your drawing style, and from your comments it seems like it's a good fit for you on the technical side of things too! This, and Barrow, and Murderwoods make me genuinely excited for your model work as much as your artwork! So I'll definitely be interested if you get super ambitious and add more to this fella!

...also, I can't help but laugh that you've blurred out the groin area. I assume just to keep this safe and for General audiences here on FA? Since, heh, we all know there's nothing underneath. Something like... "that" would make you go way over your poly-count limit ;P

Thank you! They are a load of fun, and I feel like they do somehow lend themselves well to my concept art, despite being less detailed haha. I like how you really have to make things count with the low resolition textures, so I think overall design stands out more, without getting so caught up in the details that you lose your big design elements. Meylan Guy here doesn't really count, he's not wearing anything, and then when he is, his thermals are just a grey skintight suit haha. I should throw a seam or two on it though.

I used to blur out the groin for a lot of my reference work, so it's like a "thing" to do now at this point whether there's actually any anatomy to censor or not haha.

Looks good man. I remember when 600-1k poly was "high res" :P

Those were the good ol' days man

They look so innocent Can't wait for more! Also more booty is right.

Thanks!

maybe asking too much, but do you think you could upload demos or even tutorials of how you do up these low poly models? I absolutely love them!

Thank you!

I do have a timelapse video of it - I'm not sure how much longer it'll be up here, but you can see it here for now. https://www.dropbox.com/s/evmetd8fw.....e%202.mp4?dl=0

I believe it's just a preview, so you'll have to download to see the whole thing!

Wow, this is so coooool, you da man :D Smart move to use Blender btw, I mean really, its free and has everything you need for poly modeling xD Did you learn it in your class/at uni or by yourself?

Hey thank you! Blender is indeed perfect for what I'm doing and my current needs.

I learned myself with some tutorials on youtube!

I wish I started with Blender instead of Max tbh :P I am super curious about your game project btw, are you planning to make a working demo and get an investor or publisher involved at some point?

No, we're just doing it ourselves. It's an incredibly small and simple project; we'll be putting in on steam for a dollar or two relatively soon!

That is a sound philosophy, seems like a lot of people get burned when their projects grow out of control. Quality over quantity Super cool that you are putting it out there, I'll absolutely check it out :)
