Dominance War II: xtitan


#1

As the battle draws near, a warrior approaches as he does in every battle since before the time of the Egyptians. He was born human but proved to be something far greater.

No one has ever seen what he looks like and anyone who even saw a glimpse didn’t live to tell about it.  He has participated in almost every earthly battle since recorded history and has fought all over the globe.  Starting his existence in Africa he became legend and later the reason why Egyptians have Gods.  He has single handedly changed the course of history through his ability to change the tides of battles, but he does not fight for any faction, god, or being.  His sole purpose, his driving force is the search for the ultimate opponent.  He traveled through what later became India, then through Asian, and on his quest he studied with masters of various disciplines.  Through meditation and extreme focus he has managed to virtually slow down the aging process to a craw.  He continued on through the ice bridge to the Americas where he met his only formidable opponent, in the form of a Smilodon, saber tooth tiger.  He was attacked in his sleep by three full-grown females and a pack leader that dwarfed any other saber that ever walked the earth, but it wasn’t enough to bring him down.  He refuses to use any weapons except on occasion he would use the saber’s tooth he extracted that caused him to bleed for the first time in his life.  While in America he also encountered Vikings but their primitive fighting styles were desperate at best.  He ventured south into the lands of Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs none of which survived his visit.  After his last battle he realized that he would not find a challenger worthy of battle.  He climbed to the top of Mt.  Everest where he trains and meditates inside an undiscovered cave, only leaving every few hundred years to test his skills on live opponents, waiting for that one day when he would meet his match.  

His life in solitude has invaded his mind and he keeps himself sane by using his chopsticks to knit his own hair into various garments and pouches.  To this day he has not lain with a woman and considers self gratification the lowest form of practice.

Sensing the energies of strong warriors, he awakens again to join the Dominance War, this could be what he was waiting for, what he was born for.

P.S. school was getting in the way but now it is spring break so I’m able to join my fellow CGSociety Members :slight_smile: Also, I appologize to the War Gods for joining so late, but it was now or never.

Update 1: I started the base for the “Nameless One” as he will be called, it’s subject to change. I used zspheres to make a base and then sculpted away to add definition. Due to time restrictions, I won’t be able to retopologize and redo the high poly, instead I will break it up into parts and add detail that way. This should save alot of time. I have the next three days to work with relatively no outside interruptions. I changed my concept up a bit but it is based on the bottom left, bottom right, and top right(I’m a fan of that pose). The following are renders from 3D Studio Max just to get a better sense of the perspective. He will remain with very little clothes and none if any hair because he is a pure fighter and relies only on himself. I will post an updated version of the concept by tomorrow hopefully. Let me know what you guys think or just have fun looking :slight_smile:

Here’s today’s progress: My knowledge of anatomy is lacking so I took some reference pics of myself :slight_smile: but there’s still alot of work to be done. Let me know if there are any blatently obvious anatomy problems so that I can correct them.
