[majid-smiley]

nice concept !

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

Thanks guys! I appreciate the encouragement.

Not much to see here. I just started blocking in. I'll refine it some more and then take it into zbrush for a test to see if there are any areas that will give me problems, then probably a little more refinement before starting to sculpt. Ill probably sculpt on the model as a whole before breaking it into parts. I still havent started his accessories yet. I might be able to post another update later today. Thanks.http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9049/hydeblockgc4.jpg

I really like your Mr. Hyde concept. It's going to be nice to see this one finished.

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

Hey, Thanks Jedi-Juice!

Here's a small update on my base mesh. I'm still refining and working on the overall proportions.http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/7752/hydeblokfrontkk6.jpghttp://img358.imageshack.us/img358/8519/hydeblockbackmw5.jpg

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

I know the fingers need alot of work. Also , keep in mind that he's going to have pants on as separate geo. I've already tested it in zbrush and fixed the problem areas. I've decided to do his mutton chops with fur in max but I reserve the right to change my mind. Please be critical and let me know of any problems. Thanks.

Thanks guys! I finally started some sculpting. I'm still monkeying around with the proportions and I haven't touched the bottom yet. I know he looks kind of Hulk-like but that'll change when I work on the face.

And here's a close up of the face topo. I'm still working on the forms.

Looks pretty freakin badass man. Nice work.

[Paul4wood]

Hey, this is looking really promising! :thumbsup:

[CooKiez]

Looks really good, I can't wait for updates especially those with texturing and rendering.

Good luck!

Waiting for more :D

[SeanJM]

This is looking very nice.

[samarcbz]

cool sculpt dude. re;;y like the arms n torso,, but the abs r too spuarish.. it'll be cool if u make them a bit organic.
best of luck

[DDS]

wow cool entry goin on!! Good luck with Mr. Hyde :)

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

samarcbz: Thanks for the crit!I'll try to make the abs more organic when I lose my symmetry and pose him.

Here's a small update. Just blocking in some clothes. I'm going to wait until I pose him to really refine the folds and give them tatters and holes, and then I'll give the cape thickness in maya or max. I was thinking I might make the top button on his pants broken open and and his broken belt hanging down. I still need to start on his feet and shoes.

Crits always appreciated! Thanks.

I also had this other idea of maybe modeling him a little companion. I was thinking a little mutated evil rat. It would supposed to be as though one of the lab rats got into his potion and transformed. It's just an idea and I don't know if I'll have time but i'd like to know what you guys think. Thanks

[gregorioSB]

Wow, looking pretty incredible. I'm intimidated already! That face is looking pretty scary with that big wide smile. He has some gorilla-like features that really enhance the beasty quality.

Are you just building the clothes out of polys, or with a cloth simulator of some kind? I love that hat!

Good luck, though you don't need it!

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

gregorioSB: Thanks alot! The cape top is just a couple lofted curves in maya and the bottom is just a plane from zbrush.

I started working on his pose and added a couple place holders. I still need to resolve some of the deformation issues I got from posing him and I haven't yet worked on his pant folds or belt or his shoes.

i'm not sure if I wan't to give him the monicle or not. I think with the top hat, it makes him look a little like Mr. Peanut.

crits and comments are always welcome! Thanks.

[SeanJM]

The anatomy of the upper arm is wierd, but overall looking great.

[samarcbz]

the pose is really cool man. like the facial expression,, will look even more better if u work a bit more on hi palm.
cool work.
best of luck

[FistOfGod]

Looking really cool man. I love the monocle and hat. I also like his facial expression. Looking forward to more pics. :)

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

Thanks for the help and encouragement guys!

I've tweaked his proportions and worked on the anatomy some. I still need to resolve some issues though. i also started to detail his face and work on the clothes. they're mostly just placeholders though.

i'm still not sure what color I want his skin to be. i'm open to suggestions.

Any crits or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey man, what a nice progress here ...
expecially i love him without any hat and cloak,...:thumbsup:

[samarcbz]

great progress there man.. really love the arms..
keep goin. best of luck

[Frostics]

I freakin love this guy!
His proportions melt my face off man, great job!
Super stoked to see this finished...

[piajartist]

Can't wait to see this guy with the sick chops going on. Good thus far!

2 weeks left!!

[DoctorMonkeyFist]

Thanks guys. here's a small update. I changed his pose to a more relaxed contrapposto pose and changed his cape top to reveal more of the musculature. i still need to work out the folds though.

i also added a rat. I want him to be like a lab rat that got into Mr.Hyde's potion. So, he'll be all evil and what not.

I'd like to find some references on the superficial muscles of a rat though. I tried google images and had no luck. if anyone could point me in the direction of a good resource I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Verrrrrry nice thread. I googled in french, and the very first link was:
http://www.cstfelicien.qc.ca/scinat/cours_biogen2/labos/web_lab_rat/dissect_rat.doc
it's all in french but hey, they are a lot of drawn pictures wiithin, and especially one showing muscles structure. Good luck with your entry!

[OneToe]

hi hazz, great character. the ref-doc by olivS will be very useful!
i like the monocle, although it's hard to imagine hyde would keep it on while rushing through the night on london's roofs - who cares.
those arm and hand proportions are great for expressing his character.
the face is ... godlike :buttrock:

my crits: the brim / hat is a bit too big, which downsizes the head optically. a straight silk hat would be better imo.
the axe is cool, but i think the monocle, the rat and the hat speak another style. maybe a knife may fit better. - possibly the story says 'axe!', just my first thought about the overall look.

keep it goin ;)

[piajartist]

so how is that nasty rat coming along, looking forward to seeing some updates
