Here is one of the most popular Wizards in the Forgotten Realms! I modeled him from the most famous painting of him, and it turned out pretty good. Elminster is part of the main plotline/story that will be added soon to EfU. Elminster will be a part of the new hakpak I am designing, to be released soon!!

Let me know what you think!!

I went ahead and added his pipe and those feathers he has hanging off his belt.. adds some flavor to his robe.

WOW that is a VERY VERY VERY close likeness to Elminster.

FANTASTIC work.

Have you uploaded him to IGN yet ?

Naw, gonna wait on that [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Man when you do it will blow the top off the other models there.

I can immagine it will be popular. How you going with your other creatures ?

Moving along quickly [img]smile.gif[/img] Got loads done, and working on a Plot Lich now. He's known in the FR World too.

I am doing Drizzt and Khelben too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Very nice work.

I would be careful Ziroc! Dragons of the coast will steal him from you for their new D&D on line game. Since they own the copy right on everything D&D there won't be anything you can do about it. I would suggest holding your release until the day after they release their game on line.
The reason I'm saying this is because, your preasent art work has come way beyond your comic book art. In fact it's so good you should be knocking on the door of D&D for a job as Model maker and animation consultant.
You should also make a stab at the animator job at Bioware. I realise it's only $75,000.00 a year plus a percentage of game revenues but what more could you ask for in a starting pay check?
You have gotten very very good at the D&D on PC and you should take it to the next step, GO PRO you are good enough!!!!!!!!

Very good likeness. He's distinguished and mysterious, very well, Elminster-ish! :D

I think you need more exclamation points there to make it even more convincing, Z mightn't have noticed yet [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously though, the old man does look lovely and all I'm missing is the pipe in his hand.
Keep it up !!!11!1!!!eleven!!111.

Okay, I am significantly impressed. Sure the character is not completely lifelike, but that is the fault of the engine, not the creator of the model. I am glad that Ziroc is receiving all this support from the other players, as I would hate to be the only banner-waver here. *grins* Though I do hope he is wearing some body armor underneath those robes. The old goat has a clothesline or three coming to him...

*evil laughter to be placed here at later date*

Vote Doctor Doom , 2008
A world leader WORTHY of worship!
*grins*

(hey, Ziroc, you think you could throw Doctor Doom in here somewhere? Sure he and Darth Vader have NOTHING to do with AD&D, but it would just be SO COOL...)

Lol, sorry, no Dr. Doom. Maybe Underdog and Spock, but no Dr. Doom. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Elminster will have his pipe, just gotta make it. Also I may add some of those feathers to his belt when I finish the Lich.

I'll post Khelben soon--oh man, he is cool looking.

Isn't there a pipe somewhere in the CEP? I'm sure I saw it one day while playing around in the toolset.

What would be really cool was if you could animate it so there is always smoke comming out of it.

Indeed! And his pipe hovers too. a way to make it work would be to have the pipe be his henchmen, but I dunno if NPC's can have them.. it'd be cool to see it hovering after him! lol and FIGHTING?!?! naa.. hehe. second hand smoke will do enough. :D

Doesn't his pipe offer him immunity from magic missle as well ?

BTW clear out your PM box I'm trying to reply to you LOL!!!

Cleaned [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks, Reply posted :D

That's really good work there, Ziroc. I am duly impressed.

But what I really have to respond to is this:

*Only* $75,000 a year.
I would kill for $75,000 a year. That's more than 3 times what I earn.

*Only*, indeed.

*cries tears of Summon Undead French Foreign Legionnaire at the fact Ziroc does not believe that Doctor Doom is worthy to be crafted by him for his legendary (or at least soon to be legendary) module.*

Found Ben Sisko, by the way. Should he not be black though? *hintHINT* Sure, he'd a plot character, but I wonder what his statistics are. I ran into the Teri henchman down on Level 10 (or was it Level 12), and her statistics were completely off the charts. I was wondering how you create the henchmen currently available for hiring? (and if I had more time, I SO would have had her swinging them blades of hers for me!)

Cool you got the pipe and the feathers in there now. Looking very sharp there Z!
