Looking good Mr A. One thing that is bringing this work down - the eyes. Either make them pure white or black. With black he will have that creepy’n’evil “spider” feel about him, but with white eyes he will gain a spiritual aura. Perhaps you could do black-gloss eyes with a glow around the edges of his eyes?

Another suggestion would be to give him cats eyes? There has always been speculation amungst the fans as to whether Mumm-Ra is an Ancient Thundercat himself…

Damn, somehow I missed your entry in this challenge up until now. lol Great to have you aboard as well.

This looking great so far. He already has a lot of character.

There’s something about the headpiece that’s bothering me though. The modeling is great and I cant quite put a finger on it. Is it going to extend furhter back? Perhaps its the lack of depth, which would make it difficult to “hold” on to the head. I’ll let you know once I can pinpiont it. Also that bump looks rather heavy, if you ask me, while the cloth texture looks very nice. The cobras look great, btw. For some reason I really like modeling on the teeth & gums. lol Very well done!

I’m guessing its a bit early to comment on the body anatomy, so I’ll wait for your next updates on that.

Cheers!

Thanks for the crits guys. The anatomy thing, Ive yet do do a proper pass with referance, sofar its all modeled from memory, I used to have a similar physique myself, but waay smaller. The bump on the gold or the cloth, you mean? Theres no bump on the body, all the detail is modeled. But I have done the cat eyse thing and it looks way better. I think with the helmet its quite ungainly, would fall off with out straps which ill add. The design of mum-ra isnt very good, hes more norse than egyptian. But Im trying to make it connect and still feel real. I was thinking of red hair to replace the red cloth coming out of his helm in the cartoon. What do you think?


#17

Looking good so far fella,

Only one crit from me and that’s to do with the hands, one too many joints me thinks!?

As for the head-dress/red hair, I like what you have going on now so my vote would be for it to stay, I had to search for a mum-ra reference so is this the alternative you mean with the red hair!?

Mum-ra red

Keep at it :slight_smile:


#18

i dont remember you looking like mumm ra Rob …:wink:

good progress though mate, keep it up.


#19

I meant on the gold. On the cloth it looks nice.

Looking forward to more updates. :slight_smile:

Cheers!
