God & Demon Character- KFC

[Koma]

cool concept ,good luck

[sketchguy]

Beautiful sketch! Looking forward to your 2d interpretation in Painter <my personal favourite paint program of all time>

[kfc]

I've created this Devil according to an ancient Emperor of China name Chao Chao.
well, according to the epic. He's a demon himself.
and the sketch that i've created is the demon side of him. There's no reference for this devil so i've sorta created it by blending in more western style.

I'm still very interested to model it in 3d. but too bad, I'm only got 2 weeks left. and i don't wan't to end out with WIP product.
sigh....

ok, I'm going to start my work later.

[Norante]

Good sketch.. I like the face of him. looking forward to see updats!

[kfc]

Here is a little update for Demon Emperor.
I'm abit tired now and i'm going to sleep later. I'll continue on this once i wake up.
The mood that i'm trying to create here is a very dark, heavy, mysterious scene.

[Sangotten]

Awesome work!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Keep it coming!!:wip:

[kfc]

i didn't really expect to see a reply so soon. but anyway, it's really late now (perhaps early). it's 6.45am and i still haven't sleep yet. aaawww.... i'm just too excited on this challenge.

let see whether i can get the body done by friday.
i still have got other work to do.

[Threedeemer]

Yes very awesome, kfc :eek:
Inspiring model and great art skills.

[ThreedyModeler]

Wow, Kong, looking great! :eek: I love the concept design, and it looks like you are executing it flawlessly in 3D. I love the horns growing out of the chin. Very different. The pose in the sketch is great as well.

Keep us updated!

[bike]

w0w0w, very very nice, can't wait to see it finished.


what did you render that with?

:buttrock:

[kfc]

thanks!
Threedeemer, DigitalSkunkwrx, bike.
i'm uploading my updates now. stay tune.
i'm modeling the body part. alot of attention is putting on the ribcage, back, shoulder and arm.
as for the renderer. it's a native renderer in maya by using dome lights.

[kfc]

here is a little update on the ears.
http://fantasyinside.com/wip/devilmodel3.jpg

[kfc]

here is another update for the body.
http://fantasyinside.com/wip/devilmodel4.jpg
http://fantasyinside.com/wip/devilmodel5.jpg

well, as you can see from the sketch. i'm trying to create a body which has different muscle structure from a human. but at the same time looks as logic compare to human muscle.
maybe I've been influenced too much from fantasy art.
haha....

[kfc]

btw, i didn't connect the head with the body yet. it might seem odd at this point. but it just the personal habbit for modeling. i prefer to keep it till the end.

[Darkelfv]

wow this is looking really cool. the muscle structur is superb. very nice start. you have good modeling skills

[Joebount]

I love it, especially the body ! I've nevertheless mixed feelings about the upper part of the head

[Dark_Des]

your facial expression is terrific, great work.

[cerreto]

very cool man ! like it alot not much as far as ctrits goes looks as if its early on still lik e me ;) good job

[tandemar]

How come you had the head modelled as your avatar at the side before you even showed your sketches?

Just wondering.

[Piz]

Simply Fantastic KFC...... Impressive!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Very strong modelling skills...... Awsome!!!!!

Bye
Piz

:D

[kfc]

wow.....
i never thought of i would still get replies at this late (midnight).
thanks guys. for all of ur compliments.
atleast i won't feel like giving up now.
All of u shows great skills in modeling n design too.


tandemar

:How come you had the head modelled as your avatar at the side before you even showed your sketches?

well..... i've just updated my avarta yesterday. this is my old avarta.
http://fantasyinside.com/kfc.jpg if anyone here still remember this avarta.


Cerreto : ur thread is the one that motivated me on doing the sketch in the 1st place. haha... :p

Good luck everybody!

[kfc]

this is a little update to my progress today.
going quite slow.
http://fantasyinside.com/wip/view1.jpg

[kfc]

this is another view.
added some details at the back too.
http://fantasyinside.com/wip/view2.jpg

[kfc]

here's a rendered body.
hmmm.... well, i personally think that the light has washed out some of the details of the muscles.

good night~!

[Threedeemer]

:cool:
Excellent! I like what your doing with the anatomy, creating functional looking 'in-human anatomy' is always cool.

[maya_death]

nice work .i love it .but need a little more anatomy i love subdivision . but its a little slow .great modeling :applause:

[DarkSy]

Hi, very great model... what method do you use though?... Do you use sub-d?... cuz I find that in MAYA when you have two faces and you exturde them in sub-d they seperats into two pieces?.. so dunno how to model in sub-d.....

Neat model... very good modeling skill.. keep up the good work!!

[kfc]

well... the solution to this problem would be. go to Polygon menu> Tool Options> Keep faces togather (check this one).

oh well..... i'm working on a freelance stuff now. hope i can get back to this demon later.
thanks for viewing my thread.

[DarkSy]

HaHa, thanx for the reply... I think I should read tons more tutorials and books before I post! =)

Can't wait to see updates! =)

[ycf98]

hey u forgot something kfc ! the asshole ! remember the horse ! hhahahaha :wip:

[kfc]

Horse? never thought of that.
hey... i wasn't paid when i did the horse for u school back to chinese new year.
haha....
and i don't think i can use it here.

[sketchguy]

Hey KFC (I'll be damned if I can't get "Kentucky Fried Chicken" out of my head everytime I see your screenname - damn American marketing!) :drool:

The head of your character would make an incredible mask! I love the expression, especially the wrinkles of the compressor and dilatator naris (wrinkles on the side of the nose) I'm also liking the proportions better as it makes the transition from 2d to 3d (I felt the jaw was too wide in the drawing) and it now looks more correct as it tapers narrowly and then flares out with the horns protruding from the chin.

My one piece of constructive criticism would be with the appearance of the muscles. I know he's not supposed to resemble human anatomy, but I would still like to see more evidence of muscles overlapping bone structure (and one another) instead of a "pinching" where two muscles meet. The most jarring to me would be in the lumbar region of the back. It needs a bit more solidity, especially considering all that top-heavy weight he'll be carrying.

Other than that, I'm really impressed with what you've completed thus far and am really glad you decided to jump in and start modeing him. Screw the deadline! Just continue modeling, I want to see this finished in all its gnarly detailed glory! :scream:

[kfc]

Sketchguy, thanks for ur support~
:)
and thanks for the suggestion. i believe the reason why the back might looks a little weak to u might be because i didn't plan to show the back that much in the final rendering. but since i've already addicted on doing this demon. i think i'll continue on upgrading on parts which u have mentioned.

btw, u are right....
SCREW THE DEADLINE~!

[kfc]

http://fantasyinside.com/wip/modeling9.jpg

ok.... hope i can make most of the things happens tonight. i won't sleep for the next 20 hours. so that i can finish it in order to leave me some time for rigging it.

[kfc]

http://fantasyinside.com/wip/modeling10.jpg
yeah..... yeah.... i know i'm a little slow on this kinda details.

[kfc]

http://fantasyinside.com/wip/modeling11.jpg

oh... finally i've got the feet done.
:)

later on i'm gonna attach the head.

[kfc]

http://fantasyinside.com/stage2/devil1.jpg

some problem with the previous link. here's the image.

[kfc]

http://fantasyinside.com/stage2/devil2.jpg

the leg. abit lowpoly because the overall mesh is only in 1st level smoothing. way too heavy if i get it to level 2 now.
:)

[kfc]

http://fantasyinside.com/stage2/devil3.jpg

hope u'll like it.
:)
update by tomorrow morning.

[edaddy]

the forearm is MINDBLOWING !!! good god man!

beautiful model, and your attention to detail is admirable.... u get a vote !:D :wip:

[puddlefish]

Ditto that.
Holy God, that detail is fantastic, especially in the arms and hands.
Hope you get him rigged soon!!
Well done!

[Disgusting]

I like the hands! But I think there are too many sharp seams especially in the upper body part. I'd sften them out a bit ...

[l_farley13_l]

The hands are just great - you have to highlight them in the final render :D :D !Only crit right now would be to do somthing radical with the clavical's shape as itis it looks like a limp human one - and we wouldn't want that ;) the feet are getting much better too ! Maybe some veins on the neck too ?

see you,

Farley13

[cerreto]

looking fantastic i like the kness and feet alot

[System404]

great model!!!! please show a wireframe of the mesh!! i noticed when you started working on the head you used connect poly shape for Maya, did you do the body the same way!?:)

[Piz]

Wow!!! I saw you don't have problem with Anatomy!!!!
Very, very good!!!!!!!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:


Ciao
Piz
;)

[ROPA]

So what can I say. .... like it alot

I wander if some day all peopel in CGtalk could do one big project . Here are so many great artist tha we colud do outstanding thinks together ...

First concept images , storyboards , then modeling and rendering...

I know .. dreams ...

Realy nice work ...

[Catfish]

great model!!!! please show a wireframe of the mesh!
Ditto. I'd be particularly interested in seeing how you did the veins on his arm & wrinkles on his fingers - I always have problems putting those sorts of details in...

Anyway - looks damn good. Keep it up.

[kfc]

Oh~! i've been doing my model for the whole night. and i was bz on my other work in daytime. When i come back online. I'm shocked that i've got replies from u guys.
Thanks~!

Hell of a job!...Nice work on the sketches and the modeling!:thumbsup:

[kfc]

thanks dude.
great model!!!! please show a wireframe of the mesh!! i noticed when you started working on the head you used connect poly shape for Maya, did you do the body the same way!?

yes.... i modeled it by using CPStools in maya all the way from bottom up. no secret in this modeling technique tho.

[Fetus23]

hello fellow maya user!!...you've got a really cool demon coming along here...can't wait to see him rigged!!!...hurry hurry!! The Viens are my favorite...mmmm finger folds. :)

fetus

[Catfish]

Am I right in thinking that to create the veins, you just split-polygon up the line of the vein, then extruded the new faces?

How about the wrinkles? Just a mess of split polygons, then just raise and lower various edges along the wrinkles?

[Lorenzo]

very nice poly work.
Great shape also, good proportions.
Keep working,
:wip: :wip: :wip: :D

[rsalonen]

hey this one is awsome!
like it allot, great details.
Would be cool to see it textured, even if it's not for the challange.

Got a question how you render that, you said something about "dome light", what does that mean? And how to set up that kind of light. (Yes, I'm new to Maya :) )

[kfc]

well, for the veins treatment. yeah, i cut the lines that i need 1st. usually i cut abit longer than i basically need to avoid unwanted wrinkle. and i've try to lower the edge at the start and the end of the vein to let the vain dip in to the flesh.
that simple.

well..... as for domelights. u can try the script like, GI-Joe or PreRenderPyramid. get it from highend3d.com
Maya is great for alot of thing. don't quit so soon because alot of ppl might find that it's renderer is abit crapy. but i personally think that it's not that bad. other than this, it rocks~!

[leigh]

Wow great work kfc! :D

The veins are absolutely incredible! Brilliant character!!

[Julez4001]

Nice man. keep on going and rig it.

[kfc]

thanks guys.
here is some updates for the crappy renders that i've posted previously.
i've redo the back portion of the headGear.

Amazing. They just keep getting better and better!

[kfc]

almost going to be final.
Rigging it now. but b4 that, i need some sleeps.
http://fantasyinside.com/stage3/devil13.jpg

[kfc]

Holly Shxx~!
My web host is blown off by heavy traffic.
what am I gonna do now?

anyway, i've finally came out with this final image.

[kfc]

this is the link to the highrez final image.
http://max3d.hypermart.net/final-devil.jpg

[Catfish]

Hmmm....reminds me of Keanu dodging bullets :D

Umm - seriously, looks awesome. Very nice work - there's a great sense of motion & weight in the image.

[kfc]

dodging bullets?
:)
ha~! i never thought of that.
i just find that this pose is much more interesting that the other pose which i've tried b4.
By the way, I've forgoten to mentioned that he is an Emperor~!

[Threedeemer]

Well done kfc, he is truly impressive and dramatic. I like the pose alot.:cool:

[kfc]

Oh Threedeemer~!
I love your character too~!
it's so impressive that you gave me alot of pressure when i was working on my own character. i was almost going to give up when i 1st saw ur character. but anyway, it's finished now and all of this sleepless night is over. Congrats for everyone who has finished their models.
and good luck~!

[sketchguy]

WoW KFC! Simply amazing finish there!

[kfc]

oh~! great~ i've found a good hoster for my old stuff now.
special thanks Chucky.
and thanks to sketchguy too. u were with me from the beginning of this thread.


Check my progress on The Making Of The Emperor (http://www.wd2.org/kfc/page_01.htm)

[kfc]

here is a little update about the info of the devil which i've modeled. i've made a mistake, the dark emperor isn't named "ChaoChao". instead, it's name is "Qin Shihuangdi". he's the emperor in qing dynasty who's ordered to build the ancient great wall of China. i couldn't find his english name in the 1st place so i simply replaced it as chaochao (emperor in romace of 3 kingdom). but anyway, i hope "Qin Shihuangdi" could be a better replacement for it's name than the 1st one.
well, he was a very cruel emperor. and he always kills on his own will. as most of the chinese remembers. he's such a devil. that's why he looks like a devil in this design.
Hope all of u will like this.

[Troydm]

Kfc your model really rocks !!!

[InnerVortex]

wow thats really cool man:) i dont wanna see that guy close to me!
