Game Art Comp #8: Monev the Gale - Trigun

#21

Dont talk!!! Paint!!! :thumbsup:

I brought the first 3 trigun dvds, and didnt really like them enough to buy the rest, so i never got to see monev, but i did see him in the form of this cool action figure i saw ages ago - that shows what can be done with the character - he kinda looks a bit basic at the moment. I dont think a simplistic toon shaded approach suits him.

Ref images - too bad that the most useful image is of some daft limited edition transparent version.

My recomendation to anyone who wants to watch Trigun is to skip the first disc entirely. The plot REALLY starts picking up around the halfway point of the series… the few discs after the first are leading up to it, but once you get past the halfway point it’s simply amazing.

Vash is one of me favouritest characters… though I really wish I had that giant Monev the Gale action figure to go on my monitor next to Vash…

:buttrock:I agree with Spankspeople, also Vash is one of my all time fav the Trigun series is excellent, though I didn’t bother with the entree episodes and Don’t have any idea of how bad it may be…

Andy H is right toon shader wont do, :sad: also I’m worrying about how your model is going to rig… the shoulders look like they may be a huge problem area, draw the muscles in a bit ( the balk takes away room from the definition ) also I think you should make the face more round. as always great work and get kicking on those textures…

I figured I would post my submission here so I could get some feedback.

As this is my first experience with the CGTalk community, I’d like to thank everyone for there crits and ideas. Without your motivation, I don’t think
I would have taken this model as far as I did. I’m glad to be a part of such a helpful community.
