Title: Gemma's Last Fight
Name: Bruno Jiménez
Country: France
Software: 3ds max, After Effects, mental ray, ZBrush

Gemma is the leader of the Devils of Kimon.
Hungry for power, he plots to overthrow both the prevailing japanese government and the "Shogun of the Dark".
This is a great character from "Ninja Scroll". He's always cool and unexpresive and it just seemed perfect to do it in 3d. I've tried to place him in a dramatic background and make him look powerful.
I wanted to make an image to finish this project. I started it more than a month ago to keep me busy in holidays and to test the 3ds max and zbrush pipeline, as well as "hair and fur" tools.
Textures were done in Zbrush and the render was done using mental ray. All post-prod was done using after effects.
Thanks to all the people that have followed the wip and gave me some nice feedback!

The clothing could use a bit of work, but the face is fantastic.

I really like this - i always liked his unusual face design in the anime, and you have it captured perfectly. The strange, straight mouth, the long chin and the brows look just like him.

Is the background a still from the film, or did you make it from scratch?


EDIT - i just noticed the scar on his neck! Very accurate :thumbsup:

hi everyone! thanks for the nice comments.
AndyH: all the background is 3d except for the flames (you almost can't see them :B). it's based in the last fight of the film, it takes place in a ship.

Yeah, i know. I love the bit where Jubei headbutts his face into the ground and leaves it a bloody pulp!

Great work on that background though - it looks painted.

But I daresay I'd like to see his shoulder-piece more dinged up, scratched up or something. His expression and stance are dead-on, though! Good work!

You should do all eight Devils of Kimone?

Hi everyone! i was doing another character so i forgot this post completly! you can see it here (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=5409171#post5409171)

AndyH: great!!! there's a lot of stuff like that in the film, i really like it. I love how Tessai dies!!
InfernalDarkness: yeah, in fact the textures were a big problem. I wanted to keep the shoulder cleen but it looks poor...i'll try to fix it if i do another image with him. i don't think i'm doing the eight devils! lots of work! maybe if someone wants to help?
souledge3: thanks mate! glad you like it.
Nayar: thanks, i found a lot of reference images, that helped me a lot.
