GAC 11 - Rasputin, Gregory Efimovich

#5

Hey Equinoxx you’ve chosen a great historic person for your entry! This is one of my favourite chocies so far, the pressure is on to do him justice! I’m not too keen on the concept, nice art and all but I think he should have a bit more of the scientist there! Maybe a shredded lab coat and some broken specticales? Anyway top choice I can’t wait to see more.

yeah you’re right there. I was thinking of a shredded coat myself. aso shredded pants.

I don’t know… as said, i’m not to good a concept 2D artists, so i’m quite positive the model itself will lok better.

#7

your sketch sorta looks like Panthro from the Thundercats… :wink: cross between Monkian…

#8

lol now that you mention it . . . uch i’m struggling with it. as said, i’m not the best concept artists, but I’d like to think that If i try hard enough even the concept should be cool enough.
Perhaps I need to rethink a thing or two.

Perhaps I should’ve gone with my 1st idea of either nostradamus and the power of foresight or with Rasputin…

we’ll se, plenty of time to rethink.

#9

Hey Equinoxx please dont change your idea, I think your onto a winner here. Just a bit more thought on the design and it’ll be so good!

sorry to dissapoint you, but there’s a change of plans.

It’s gonna be Rasputin.
I’m changing for the main reason that I do not feel inspired by my current idea.
I have nothing with darwin. Rasputing on the other hand is a character that never let go of me since the 1st time i heard about him.

concept is on it’s way.

hmm, red cross. Im interested in the sketch. Id like to see how this one will look.

#13

red cross ? :argh:

how one earth is that possible ?
I NEVER had the cross sneak up on me.
specially since it’s hosted on the same servers as cgtalk.

does that one work ?

#14

I’m a bit saddened that you have abandoned Darwin but hey you have to do something that holds your interest. In your concept is that knives sticking out of his sides or are they belt straps, it looks a bit unclear? I also think you should play on your idea of potions and animal nails/teeth hanging from his belt. More stuff like that would go really well I think. Also if thats a hangmans noose around his kneck then thats a cool idea, I love it!
Coming together nicely Equinoxx!

#15

yeah they’re Knifes, but in the model they’re not gonna be so symmetrical. and that indeed is a hangmans noose. the other end with a weight will be his weapon. think ball and chain but then rope and concrete block.

there’s more stuff gonna be hanging from his belt as well. I chose to have him in his ‘working’ outfit rather then his ‘social garment’

I’m thinking I’m gonna give him a bleu-ish grey skintone on the account of his drowning with lots of veins from being poisened. He is a living deadman so to speak.
Lots of stab & shotwounds as well.

#16

a little progress :slight_smile: 1448 faces sofar.

#17

Good work so far! I kind of always saw rasputin with a sort of sunken in skinny face. I love the face so far.:thumbsup:

#18

well, it took a while, but I’d rather show large updates once in a while then a newly added face every day :wink:

All hair on the head is temporary, just for the feel.


#19

Looks really cool.Are you going for the dead,skinny look?Because his arms and legs look very skinny.Great Job and Good Luck!

#20

skinny and dead it is. i figured being the mystic monk that he is,
he doesn’t need 'brute force’to overcome his oponents.
But I don’t want to make him so skinny he won’t be able to use his Weighted Rope weapon anymore hehe

#21

Hey nice going! I like a lot the mustic twisted look of the face right now…:thumbsup:

The body is going well too, so what’s the polycount so far?

#22

not sure, I’ll have to look it up, If Ihave to guesstimate, I’d say it’s somewhere between 6-8000 or something ?

I’ll have accurate information tonight :wink:

#23

Looking good there! :thumbsup: The knives/daggers sticking out of him are a nice touch, although they seem a bit oddly placed.

His head is lookng pretty good too, although I would probably have had his hair haning more loose around his head, in various thick dirty strands… But that’s just me :).

#24

yeah I was thinking about that as well, might change that. I understood this challenge runs for 3 :eek: months ? should be well enough to change stuff :wink:
