Super-Deformed Demon

[Junerahe]

very cool character. dont know what to think about the cigarette tho.

[SuperOstrich]

I thought the cigarette gave him some character. I mean, he's already a demon and not really a role model. :)

[glynnsmith]

I like it. It gives him character and attitude.

The only thing crit I can give so far is it doesn't really scream superdeformed to me. The way I understand superdeformation is that the heads are REALLY big. Possibly bigger than the body.

I do love your drawing style, though. Can't wait to see some modelling.

Heh, brilliant concept Chris, but maybe the deformed thing needs to be more apparent. The cigarette works for me.

Super deformed or not, it will make a great model.:D

[ts-falcon]

man that is a sweet concept, although i wouldnt call it deforemed, but it does have alot of character, cant wait to see this guy come to life!

[SuperOstrich]

Thx for the crit guys! Yeah, I guess I didn't take the super deformed aspect of it as far as I could, these proportions just felt right to me. I've started modeling, I'll post something as soon as it's presentable.

[LoTekK]

I like the proportions as they stand, though people are right in saying that typically SD characters have heads almost as big (certainly at least as wide) as their bodies. Love the look you've got going, though. He needs a bigger cigarette, though. :D

[SuperOstrich]

LoTekk,

I'll be sure to bump up the size of his smoke when I model it. :)

[dpizzle]

excellent design!
can't wait to see this

[Zerafian]

Just took a look at the post..A 1024 and two 512...your gonna get hella detail outta that..Are there going to be any other accessories, I mean other than the cig:). I assume its gonna be head,wings, anf body for map separation...But if those maps are what your stickin with rock on man..I cant wait to see what you get out of them..SHEW

Oh yea do you ahve a dead line that you are trying to constrain to at all?

[SuperOstrich]

The contest deadline is May 21st. I'm about 30% done with the low poly mesh right now. I hope to be texturing and Zbrushing this weekend.

[MFTituS]

haha, he is so cute.
his body looks a bit nude. i think some bunches of hair (white hair?) would help and give him more character. on his abdomen, shoulders, breast - dont know....

[SuperOstrich]

MFTitus, Yeah maybe I should add some sort of hair or perhaps scales/color patches to this guy. I'll fool around with the concept a little more.

Anyhow, here's the low poly update:

lookin real good so far, keep up the good work

one thing, i think it might just be the angle, but his left hand (in the top pic) looks a little funny - the pinky finger (?) looks a little too big

[SuperOstrich]

I think the big finger will take care of itself when I tweak it to line up to the high poly details I've made. Speaking of which, a WIP update of the high poly in Zbrush.

looks awesome

[ts-falcon]

wow thats really cool, staying very true to the concept good to see, cant wait to see this guy finished mate! :D

[Ancient-Pig]

Well, you already know my heated opinion about the genetalia, so I'll refrain from further comment

The model is looking good. Is the low poly model you've shown the one that the normal map will be applied to? Did you run into any problems in ZBrush from having such large triangles (cheeks) on the low poly model shown?

ZBrush'd model is looking good so far...

[SuperOstrich]

The low poly is for the most part exactly what I brought into Zbrush. I've since moved around some points in Zbrush that will affect the postions of things relative to the low poly, so I may just export my lowest Division level from Zbrush and use that as my low now.

I did run into a few weird problems with the way I built the low poly. My original intention was just to bring it into Zbrush and see how messed up it got, and "redo" the edge loops of the low poly in Max strictly for Zbrush work. But I got caught up working with it, so I decided to just run with it. I think it's turning out okay given the strange low poly topology.

[dpizzle]

the zbrushing is looking really good,
know of any good ZBrush tutorials i could take a look at?

[retardedmonkey]

I agree that its sticking with the concept very nicely. I need to learn this zbrush program...your comin along nicely with this m0del. Looking forward to some more updates :)

[SuperOstrich]

Did some more work tonight on the back and legs.

[SuperOstrich]

dpizzle,

As far as Zbrush tutorials go, I only ever did one....the chest armor exercise in the Zbrush Practical Guide. It taught me all I really needed to know about the program for my needs. Everything else I've learned about Zbrush was done by practicing. I went through about 4 Colton heads from GUN just for practice. :)
