The Evolution of Lord Suragaha
« on: June 27, 2015, 12:28:47 am »
He has come a long way... Today he has gotten a new look once again:

Sura Version 4 (2015 Edition)






Sura Version 3 (2014 "He got a bath & marking change" Edition)




Sura Version 2 (2013 "Fur texture Gone Wrong. Dirty and Blurry" Edition)




Sura Version 1 (2012 "The Original" Edition)



So what do you guys think? Which did you like more and why? What do you think of "new" Sura?

Oh my. Sura, why do you give us such difficult decisions to make?

All of them are very original and beautiful, and it's very hard to choose just one. I do love the original and the Version 3, though. c:
Edit: I like the Original because, as far as I believe, nothing can replace the memories than an original character creates. Although the new changes and upgrades can be a wonderful thing, the original is the one that started it all. I also like the Version 3 because I like the way the colors blend, and he looks very realistic.
Lord Suragaha truly has come a long way.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

V4 doesn't look as good as the others to be completely honest. The white on V4 looks like it had no texture to it compared to the other colors. It really creates an unbalance in shading. Plus the texture looked too blurry for my liking. In my opinion V1 and V3 catch my eye the most.

I like V4 to be honest, but it doesn't appeal to me as much as V2 does. I think verson 2 has more shading and more realism than them all. The fourth looks very plastic-like in all honesty, the white doesn't seem to fade away very nicely. (I'm picky sawry) The white also seems to have no texture to it. And the texture seems a bit too shiny, the eyes kind of lost all their realism. However I enjoy the outline around the USMC, it gives it a bit more detail. But if you like it, stick with it. Anything will be fine with me.

I prefer V3 the most, probably because I've seen that preset the most while I don't think I've seen the others. To be honest, V4 just looks a bit too 'toony', I guess? The white underfur seems more blocky and doesn't seem to blend in to the rest of the preset, I just think it should be more 'tufty'. I love the scars on it though, the texture on the inside is very detailed and realistic, and also the eyes look really nice as well~

I like V4, actually. But then again, I no nothing of the correct way of Digital Art and FH presets so what's that to say?

Ahem, but anyway all the versions are wonderful!

In all honesty, V1 is probably my favorite.

V2 is also great, and really has a dark and gritty feel to it, the the texture is a tad to intense.
V3 is my second favorite. It's a great blend of colors, and the only reason it's not may favourite is simply because I prefer less saturated colors.

V4 reminds me of Impressive Title, and generally has a more cartoonish look. It's really not my taste, especially with how the texture reacts to the bright white. If anything, I really love the way his face looks in this v.

It's hard to judge such a great design though! It's fascinating to see the design evolve over time too.

I find it interesting how so many people seem to like his old original design. Hmm.

Thanks for the tips with the Version 4 guys. Since a few people shared my same feelings with it I retextured the white parts of his body and I feel much more satisfied with it now.





You're all awesome and I really appreciate the feedback <3

I honestly love the new edition, but...just not please there isn't a fur edition added. I must also say the previous are awesome too. I muss be quite honest...everything about Sura is awesome. Awesome job.
