#1

Working on concepts as of now. Will start putting those up tomorrow and over the weekend. Totally pumped about this one! Looks like there’s some great ideas floating around already!:thumbsup:

#2

Just sketching away. Not much time to dive in but tossing ideas around in my head 24/7. Gotta tone down the gun. Will do seperate concepts of that later.
In the rules it said you could have two weapons but they had to be the same. I want to have a sword as his source of magic. So would that even be allowed? A sword and a gun. I’m also tossing around the idea of attaching one of the guns to the sword to in turn make his bullets magical. It would have a lever system that would extend down into the hilt but be attached at the base of the blade. Kinda torn as to if I wanna keep him human or alien.

WOooooshhh (sparkle sparkle sparkle)

#4

The shoulders seem a bit weighted and bigger compared to the torso. I would toss out the idea of a gun though; your character seems like he’s fast and the air/lightening theme would fit him. Then again, bullets are quick too…Nice concept though.

#5

Some really interesting proportions you’ve got there, but he’s sort of lacking in many other features at the moment. I don’t have much constructive to say at this point because there’s not much here yet. Keep going!

#6

Thanks for all the quick comments!
IvikN: Will keep this in mind. Not looking to go too bulky. More along the lines of what StacyOgie said.

StacyOgie: I really can’t decide about the gun but I’m glad I’m moving along the lines of your initial reaction, fast.

Swizzle: Hahaha! Yeah, the proportions are outta whack. I intend on keeping them that way for the concept though. So believe me, it’s intentional. I’ve found that if I get too critical of the anatomy at the concept stages, I lose the creative edge. I haven’t put in much detail that would lead to real crits, I agree, but I HAD to start posting something ya know what I mean?

#7

Quick update. Just worrying about getting more info in there for some crit direction.

#8

I wasn’t saying the proportions were bad. I actually like 'em.

#9

So the more I look at this guy, the more I agree with IvikN’s original comment. Rag-doll. I don’t want to make a huge beast that looks like he can barely move because his muscles are the size of a semi. The problem is that this is about domination and size does matter in this department (no pun intended). How could this puny turd wad defeat anyone else? Now, Grevious kicked butt in the animated series but wussed out in the movie and he wasn’t that large. Maybe I just amp up his size somehow. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? :shrug:

Gun > Muscles :slight_smile: (and here’s how! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iORmi46dowo )

I’m a fan of big smashy smashy guys…but seriously man, “smaller” guys can still look like they do damage. I like what you’ve got going on here :slight_smile: As for human or alien, you could go a more mutated human sort of look. Like he “was” human but now has some deformities :shrug:

LOL!:scream: Point well made!
What’s best about that scene is that wasn’t in the orginal script! He was originally supposed to use his whip to disarm the swordsman. Well everyone on set got s-i-c-k from food poisoning (except for Spielberg). They tried doing the original take several times with no avail. In order to get it over with, someone said “why doesn’t he just shoot 'em!?!” They liked the idea, did the take, and it stuck.
Thanks for the motivation man!

#12

Wooosh (sparkle sparkle sparkle)

#13

Looks like you have a interesting concept coming up, I’m interested in seeing the finished 3D

#14

Added shoulder guards, cod piece, and leg flair!!!

#15

Yes, yes! I like it. The outfit was changed for the better but the spandex on the legs just doesn’t go with the regality of the outfit. I still don’t like the gun; he deserves a more elegant weapon though its hard to find one that’ll fit him. I’d think a rapier would fit his character: http://www.soulcaliburuniverse.com/images/sc4/2dchars/Raphael.jpg . Can’t wait to see more. Your sketches are very clean. :thumbsup:

#16

StacyOgie: Thanks! Yes, spandex is out. Only using it as a base guide for placing his costume. Going to use a different shin guard for the other leg to break up the symmetry in the long run. I’m still keeping the ragged leather coat, I just hid it for the time being. Don’t like the boot. Looks more like a boxing shoe or an old pair of All Stars.

I’ve always had a good sword in mind. I think you are right. Gun has gotta go. Will get rid of it eventually. I really had another idea in my head that I think I’m going to scratch but keep in a quazi fashion.

I wanted him to have two swords. It was orginally one sword that he broke in two and mended to a new hilt. He had always used his guns as his weapon of choice, so he modified his guns to attach to the base of the blades so that his bullets would have magic as well. The only real problem I see is that usually if a magical artifact is broken in two, it doesn’t work anymore. In the end I’ll come up with some source of magic, but I’m not making that the focus at this point. He found the magical artifact. I don’t intend on the artifact changing his physic, so I’m more concerned with what he is before he found it, then add the artifact into his costume and weapon selection. If all else fails, I’ll just put a chainsaw on his arm or give him the glove of super strength from Army of Darkness.:slight_smile:

#17

slowly but surely.

#18

Calling it quits on line drawing. Going into shading and detailing now. Will probably catch a lot of little things along the way.

#19

Added sword and began shading a bit more. Hope to have shading completed Wednesday/Thursday and final version with color completed by the end of the weekend.

#20

Roughed in shading and included sword(s) concept at bottom. Going to start putting in color and background. Finish this p.o.s. up and start modeling.
