ok, here's an update

http://h1.ripway.com/DaddyO/wip2.JPG

The eyes was a bit hard to model, because Blade wears sunglasses in most of the reference pictures I used. I'll find some pictures of Snipes as himself, so I can get the eyes look right. The neck is still a total mess I'll fix it as well. C&C are welcome

[gaiXyn]

you surely got the likeNess....and very fast too, lol....I don't have much to say except that I'm going to watch your progress very closely from now on....goodStuff!! :thumbsup:

a little update. I changed the hairstyle to match the hairstyle Blade had in the first movie, and did some other little changes.

a little update. I started to model the upper body. I'll propably just make a bust, so I modelled the arm that way. The upper body and the neck still needs tons of fixing to make it look right. I also need to clean the mesh a little, but I don't really like cleaning...so I do it later

[whoknows]

[sub7]

nice start and meshflow

[Kingfu]

Thank you all for the kind words :)

I made a little test to see how does he look when the both sides are together.

http://h1.ripway.com/DaddyO/wip5.JPG

There's still lots to do. I'm not sure yet if I should model his eyebrows and facial hair, but I just might do that to see how he'd look then

[fal$eProfit]

This is looking great even without textures. What program are you useing?

[Kingfu]

Thanks, I'm using Blender. I'll post an update soon as soon as I got some time to do some modelling.

[Kingfu]

Here's the update

http://h1.ripway.com/DaddyO/wip6.JPG

There's no subsurf on, and I'm sorry for the colors they look a bit funny.
Started to do the jacket and did the undershirt. I'll start modelling on the vest he wears in the movie when I got time.

[Kingfu]

Now I started to work on the skin texture

[Kingfu]

Update on the skin. I still have some problems with the eyebrowns

small update again.
After I have modified the textures of the jacket and the shirt, I should find some good reference pictures of the tattoo he has in the back of his head.

[Kingfu]

Thanks. Haven't really had time to work on this model, but here's a little render without the sunglasses

[Kingfu]

I haven't had time to work on this model much because of school, but I'll post orthos with textures and props now, because now I got some time to spare. Here:

I'll post orthos without textures and props later.

[Star-Scream]

Hey it looks very nice ;) but i think that his lips are much too big.

[RobertoOrtiz]

Roberto's Bullhorn: One week to go! (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=208&t=489707) Just an FYI.

[tanicdesigns]

this is good work. but i hate that guy.

[Kingfu]

Thanks for the replies :)
I think the texture makes the lips look bigger than they actually are, but he does have big lips:)

Here's the non textured orthos of him, I'll post the other renders later. I hope you like it

Looks great, but has something happened to the ears. A poly is sticking out the back.

[Kingfu]

Didn't see that, thanks :), but it's just a flipped face. Just like in the whole ear, the faces have flipped for some reason.

Here's the textured orthos with props.
