Title: Kong Lau-Dominance War III Entry
Name: Josh Singh
Country: USA
Software: 3ds max, Photoshop, ZBrush
This is my entry into this years Dominance War Competition.
I wanted to make a sort of Monkey King type character for a while now. It was made In 3dstudio max and Zbrush3. I used a variety of methods to model him. I start with a basmesh that has enough edgeloops for what I want to do, go into zbrush and try to get it close to the concept and keep any "Happy Accedents" that may occur.
I used a lot of displacment modeling with custom alphas for the armor and rope.
and for the hair, I used a custom alpha in projection master using the Artdeco Brush.
Ambient Occlusion was made in a program called "Phaogen". and all maps where hand Painted over the AO Bake in Photoshop. I hope you guy like! :)

Very nice character design, the concept art was probably the best part for me. The model is awesome as well and you gave it complexety with all his clothing, weapons and jewlery. But you kept the geometry simple. I love it. very original.

Am I right in thinking you took inspiration from Monkey Magic. As there a few similarities. Either way Brilliant stuff and a great style!

Good work. Id like to crit something else I noticed: seems somehow that the initial sketch had more of characteristic essence which seems to be lost in the final model rendition, which picked up alot of the mainstream pop-like elements into it.

Josh! Nice work man!
I haven't kept up with this stuff until recently, but I used to watch your stuff all the time back in the day at CG Chat (RIP).
Nice to see your work has grown incredibly! Keep it up!!!

You reach some good result on this concept, a monkey warrior, can be very agressive, and the positive style of the clothes, congratulations!

Hey Thank you so much guys! I really appriciate all the comments and nice remarks.
There was a video game expo in South Korea called "Gstar" (http://www.gameartisans.org/dominancewar/publicity/gallery_gstar_08.html)
They wanted some posters of the various dominance War Entries, So I went ahead and made a poster of Kong Lau for Gstar Convention:

Seriously cool.
I have Monkey at home, am inspired to re-watch it now! (though I think I'll be wishing the tv interpretation of the myth was as buff and cool as your Monkey god).
