The Hapless Villian - character - BladeFX

[coCoKNIght]

Hi! I like your idea, that's gonna be funny! :D

[Clanger]

Yep, sounds good. can't think of what toy he might use though.

[BladeFX]

There are many of them ;)

- Handgun with cork or a little flag that says "Pang"
- A plastic "Zorro" sword.
- A T-shirt that's too small
- a neclace in the shape of a feeding bottle
- ...

[Carina]

I like this idea.

Go for it!:wip:

(256 posts! I'm binary!)

[Hexodam]

like Stewie in The Family Guy :D

[BladeFX]

I've found a scanner, real ancient, but it scanned (hence the poor quality :hmm: )

Very funny ideas.... Have a good time with this!

[coCoKNIght]

Hey! You've already modeled a head! So fast... :annoyed:
I've gotta do some more work... :wip:

Are you modeling with nurbs?

[BladeFX]

box-modelling.
Seems to be the fastest. Only problem is to get rid of the square look :shrug:
I've made about 5 heads in the last week, just to train, so I guess it's still in my fingers. Took me about 8 hours to get the head.

He's just a wip, mask is a flat row of poly's, think I'll use thickener on this., after the eyepatch

[BladeFX]

Started on the gun.

C & C very welcome ;)

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/gun.jpg

[BladeFX]

Update.
Still lots of tweaking to do.

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/body.jpg

[Hickory]

I like the gun...it has this cool cartoonish look and feel. Good idea, will he get frustrated when things don't go his way and will he be naturally drawn to dinosaurs?

The nise looks a little short. try pulling it out a wee bit.

[BladeFX]

Thanx Hickory.

I think the final scene will be when he is sitting on his tri-wheeler, (with playing cards in the wheels ;) ) thinking it's a motorcycle.
Aiming his gun to something.
Or standing next to it, besides a bunch of hells-angels.

I'll try to fix the nose, perhaps you're right. :wavey:

Now that would be great :D

Make it so!
:p

[BladeFX]

Hellwolve, so be it :D

Little update, my first UV. (Whished I hadn't taken a circle :rolleyes: )
Can't deside wheter to go for the white or black T-shirt.

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/t_shirt.jpg

[Hellwolve]

Black would be better, but you can't see the folds there. If you solve that, I'd take that one.

[coCoKNIght]

Take the black one! Your model is looking better and better :thumbsup:

[BladeFX]

Hellwolve: I'll try to get the folds on the black one.

coCoKNight: Black one it is, and thanx :beer:

Meanwhile, started on the pants.
Still a lot of tweaking to do on the waist, I gave hime a temp belt.

[BladeFX]

Wearing his first accessory.

Colors are just temp for modeling purposes.

c & c welcome ;)

[Hellwolve]

Well, that thing...that dummy...(don't for sure if that's the right word :p ) doesn't look heavy enough to me. E.g., IMHO it doesn't deform the string enough.

[BladeFX]

(Ik weet ook niet hoe het heet ;) )

It's made of plastic, so I don't think it weighs so much.
The string will be more stretched when I place it correctly.
Because I'd want his belly button to show.

(Hey! Das niet eerlijk :p)

Got a point there. And if it will be more stretched when it's done, make it so then! :p

[TRyanD]

Nice idea, gj so far.

Some crit.

Pacifier is too big, as is his belly. Mask needs to form to his head a little more.

His legs and head look good, but his upper body is just a little to big, maybee 25% less. Actually from the front view, his upper chest and arms look fine, but from the side, his upper chest sticks out too far. Arms are ok (cept they dont have forearms :O j/k). Belly needs to go in some, his legs arms and head look to be skin and bones, then he has a huge beer belly, needs to go down a bit..

[BladeFX]

Update,

detailed the pants some more + shrunk the pacifier.

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/detail1.jpg

TryanD: His belly is far from finished.
after putting the tools on his belt, it has to be draped over it.

[BladeFX]

updated the gun.

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/gun_ul.jpg

No-one has any crits?

[littlebrother]

Its refreshing to see a villan; Keep up the posts!

[BladeFX]

detail on the pants, starting the arms now
http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/pantsdetail.jpg

[BladeFX]

shrunk the belly a bit + made facial uv.

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/faceuv.jpg

[Dun]

looking good!

[BladeFX]

Thanx dun.

Update: started the arms, altered neck + chin + jaw.

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/arms.jpg

[BladeFX]

painted facial texture.
Don't mind the ears, had to deform them to place the mask. :shrug:

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/faceuv2.jpg

[BladeFX]

started texturing.
Rear pants stilll blue.

c & c plz.


http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/text.jpg

[BladeFX]

Got started on his highspeed trike.

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/bike.jpg

[BladeFX]

Updated the trike.
Saddle and peddals or on my other instance of this obj, so i'll edit the pics later today when I get a hold of it.

Please crit and comment.
I need crits to improve my work. :bounce:

[Hellwolve]

Looks good!

Keep at it.









(Sorry, no better C&C 'till it's done :p )

[BladeFX]

Hellwolve: Thx, but crits must be made before it's done :D

Update bike

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/bike_n.jpg

[Hellwolve]

Alright, good point :p

Here is my list:

-Don't forget the bolts/screws for the wheels ;)

-The front mudguard would be better off shorter, and bend downward.

-Does his mouth get closed at one point?

That's all ;)

[BladeFX]

Hellwolve, thx for your crits :p

Shortened the mudguard, added pedals.
His mouth will get close, right after he has some teeth.

[Virtuoso]

Keep pumping away BladeFX.I like your effort.The bike is looking clean and interesting model wise.Have you thought of rusts as a possible texture in the end?

On the character himself I could make one suggestion..........The belly area,just under the belly-button,I believe you should bring out the center area more,make it rounder and have it stick out in that area more.:)

Possibly a utility belt of many Toy gadgets could be a good idea as well I think,in case you need another idea? :cool:

Keep modeling,and add those all important details,it's coming along nicely.:thumbsup: :beer:

[BladeFX]

Thanks Virtuoso.
I'm trying to improve myself every modelling session ;)

Rust I wouldn't take, because I think he would be proud of his bike. Some mud and less shiny, that would be better (I guess).
I'll post a wire of the bike later today (haven't got the latest model here.)

I think you're absolutely right about the belly. Will fix that as soon as possible. The utilitybelt is a great idea, I'm already searching for small gadgets. :)

[BladeFX]

Finished the gun. Only thing left to do is put a big "Made in Taiwan" on the side :p and make it more used.

He's going to have a lot of this ammo in his belt, companied with a holster, catapult, remote control for a toy car (He think's it's a detonator :D )

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/gun_shine.jpg

please crit & comment :bounce:

[BladeFX]

catapult ready without textures.

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/kata.jpg

[dshelton]

very nice looking weapon models, can't wait to see it finished, keep it up man

[BladeFX]

Thanx dshelton.

Here's another one :D

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/rc1.jpg

[BladeFX]

Where should I put the utility belt?

position 1,2 or 3?

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/belt.jpg

[Hellwolve]

My vote is for number one.

[tsuru]

1 or 3... maybe both? ;) putting a belt on bare skin does not sound like a good idea in the comfort department.

[Virtuoso]

Nice extra toys,gadgets. I think you can never have enough,so add even more.I like all the extra details you are adding.Do you think you will be going for the "Newer" or "Plastic" look,or maybe a more worn "Rusted look"?

I think as for the belts................You already have one around his waist,I think you should expand that one,add latches for toy's/gadgets to hand from this belt.And go with # 3 as an added belt.It has a very nice look,and is in a very primary spot.The eye will really see that belt well.:)

Well keep on with the details,and I am happy you have smoothed out the middle of the belly area.It's looking round and symetrical now.See you soon BladeFX..............:thumbsup: :beer:

[BladeFX]

I guess I'll go for 1 and 3.
Tried some temp belts and 3 is the only one to display his spare ammo. So 3 will be the ammo belt (arrows for the gun and rocks for the catapult.)
Perhaps I could make one of those combined belts with 1.

Thanks Hellwolve & tsuru :thumbsup:

Virtuoso: I'd be glad to add more. But there seems to be a silent code on the internet not to display toy weapons of any kind. Can't even find a zorro sword :annoyed:
About the look, I'll try to get the expensive yet plastic look :rolleyes: But I'll try to get the "newness" off.
The belly is indeed much better this way. It's even better rendered, thx :beer:

Anyone who has more toughts for weapons or usable toys, please let me know. I'm in dying need for toy-inspiration. :)

[BladeFX]

Got the standard "Body Burial Kit".

Comming up next: boomerang, ninja stars, a real plastic knife.

Suggestions more then welcome

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/tool.jpg

Never tried DOF before.

[coCoKNIght]

Wow, he sure has many "weapons" :D I like the plastik texture! :thumbsup:

[BladeFX]

coCoKNIght: Plastic is my favorite :)

I've stopped making weapons.
Made him some boots.
Next are the gloves without fingertips.

Then my first rig ever. :hmm:

http://www.piranaconcepts.com/cg/boot_ul.jpg

[BladeFX]

Combination of everything before posing.

http://www.bladefx.com/cg12/alles.jpg

[Virtuoso]

Nice collection there BladeFX.............I know you are sticking to the plastic look instead of a worn rusted look. But will you be giving the plastic a more "Worn" look?

Anyways you are creating some fine details and it's got promise,keep pumping out the work.

If you want to get him on that small trick bike you will really have to squeese him in a small package,a good rig will be vital.

Have fun................Looking good.:beer:

[Carina]

Looking cool BladeFX.

I think you should make the 'ammo' of the pistol bigger though, so you can see what it is without including an enlargement of the ammo next to the pistol..

[BladeFX]

It has been a while.
I have too much work for clients :(
Tried to rig and pose hime quickly today.
But he kinda looks like he was born deformed :p

So I guess the previous image will be the final one for this challenge.
Hoping to finish the next one.
I've got time to learn rigging and posing, so it should work. :rolleyes:

A glimpse of my first rig and pose ever:
:hmm:
