Game Art Comp #9: Rouster - Japanese Warrior

#11

Raoul possibly the bandwidth from the server am using was exided… not sure mayeb try refreshing the page…

only spend about an hour, didn’t have enough time yesterday… hopefully will spend some time over the weekend on this and finish the modeling phase…
heres a rough body with some armor… poly count 3388… will attach part of armor onto the body to save polys, probably will optimize over weekend…

heres a front perps view…

not very satisfied with the model so far…
any c&c are more than welcome…

#12

I think the modell look great! Nice flow of the polygons. The feet and hands looks rely clean and cool!

But if you´r not satisfied, you could go for a more cartoonish rooster. Make him more chesty, like he is alittle puffed up whith his own importance!

(Nice puffed up rooster image on the net:

thnx Isabelle :smiley:
you gave me an idea… am thinking of breaking the torso armor into two pieces… front and back… that close with stings on the sides… and make him more chesty with feathers popping out of the sides like it’s about to fall apart… what do you think…?
i’ll model something and update when i get something worthy… hopefully i’ll have more free time on my hands…

#14

Sounds like a fun way to use all those polygons!

Go for it!

#15

oh, it’s just kind of a joke(lame) because a rooster is a cock also. thats about it. so far it’s lookin’ like your concept, keep it up.

#16

DigDoug, yea i know the rooster is also a cock, kinda caught me off guard i guess… no worries… :smiley:

haven’t had any time for the comp these days… in about 10days will leave for vacations till end of the month… so hopefully will have enough time to finish the rooster before i leave, cause i doubt that i will have enough time till the finish date when i get back…

hopefully by the end of the week will have new stuff to show…

#17

Well, I was going to say somthing about your entry.

The i read your signature…"…not suffering…enjoyiing insanity…"
Its funny! I want an own cool sounding signature too!

#18

lol - it looks like a man samurai in a chicken suit, rather than the other way round!

Nice geometry, but i think you need to spend a lot more time on his proportions to make him more chicken like - he just looks too human at the mo.

#19

Isabelle… thnx, hehe :smiley:

Andy H… thnx… about the look, you’re absolutely right it’s too human, so i already started to make a more rooster like body… am heading in the direction that the rooster found some japanese armor, put it on and is playing bad ass… :smiley:

sorry for the delay, but i got a pretty tight schedule… and now being summer doesn’t help at all… especially here in greece… :smiley:
thnx for the comments to far… will have an update asap…

#20

don’t forget polys for weapon.
I like it a lot.
Very good poly flow.

#21

ArYeS… i won’t, am reserving around 300polys for the weapon… thnx :smiley:

old and new version beneath… this is very rough, about 2420 polys… still need to add hands/wings, planes for feathers… redefine a few areas and tweak the whole thing… am planning to finish the modeling phase over the weekend…

any comments on the new version…?
thnx

#22

Its a big improvement over the last one. Proportions are better, but i still think his legs are a bit long. Have a good think about how a chicken would wear samurai armour as well - it kinda looks a bit sparse and stuck on at the mo. With big-ass tail feathers, it should look a lot better.

#23

you finally did it, u said it now it’s here a samurai chicken, nice but bro try to make it a bad ass mo…er u both versions look nice to me, though i’d prefer the second one is more funny imaging a fat “chicken” spinning around and slashing the cat ninjas…

A job well done.

#24

Actually thats my second post on this thread and I still cant understand where is my first one so am writing down again me comments, sorry for that okie?

nice chicken bro, I have mine bloody, hehehe anyway, I like both the two versions but I think the second one is more appropriate, I’ve seen the other competitors and they seem that they prefer a more humanlike beast, thats wrong the animals have the shape of there own y r we trying to destroy that. Imaging the fat original rouster wearing armor and kick ninja cats… that would be something don’t you think…

Well done ro, keep up

#25

thnx for the support guys :smiley:
worked abit on the mesh… vacations start today… won’t touch the pc till end of month…hoping that 5days of sept will be enough…
happy vacations everybody… :thumbsup:

#26

Looks funny, I like the second version much better. I agree it needs some feathers in the back.
I like to know what you will do for the arms in the new version.

Be sure to triangulate your model for an accurate polycount. Faces are about double the count of triangles.

#27

I like the second one best to. Its funny in a nice way! And it has character!

#28

yes, go for the second one :slight_smile: its way much better concept than the first one. And how are you going to model the “arms”? or wings for the matter?

later,
GriNGoLoCo

#29

Supervlieg… thnx… no worries about the poly count… the number i wrote is true tris, not quads… :slight_smile:
Supervlieg, GriNGoLoCo… the arms/wings haven’t given it much thought yet… will go for a more rooster-y style i guess, wings with long feathers to act as fingers…
Isabelle… thnx :smiley:

got back from vacations… all relaxed now… the problem is that am too relaxed and have tons to do… heh :smiley:
gonna withdraw from the comp cause there is no way in hell i can make it on time with my schedule… but will continue it in the “WIP/Critiques: Game Art Design” forum… will start a thread asap…

thnx for all the replies and best of luck to everybody in the comp…
