HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon:Voltron


#1

Hi all, this is the first time I participate on one of these mini challenges and most likely won’t finish on time due to my job but I’ll give it my best shot.

I’ll be making the Lion Voltron in robot mode. I have gathered some reference and will post that sometime tonight. Happy modeling! :wink:


#2

Go, Snows, go!
I know you got the skills …


#3

Good luck Snows. You’ve certainly got the experience for Voltron.


#4

thx for the encouragement!

here is a few ref images… I’ll be doing a lot of improvising here as I model since the best images are from comic books. I’ll be using the far top right and far top left as my main references. Time to get this started.


#5

So are you gonna model Voltron as a whole or The individual Characters?

-Rage


#6

Good luck Snows! I’m trying the challenge also! Voltron is sweeeeeet!!


#7

Hey guys, I’m not gonna make the lions separately, I’ll make Voltron as a whole, maybe I can finish on time by doing it that way.

Here is what I have so far… not much but at least its under way.


#8

continued working on the torso…


#9

made the hips and upper legs, tweaked some of the chest proportions. Now it is time to “form feet and legs!” lol, sry, couldn’t resist.


#10

Lol, nice. Looking accurate so far.


#11

Lookin’ good so far! Can’t wait to see how the tigers turn out!


#12

I know I said I was gonna start modeling the legs but I just felt like getting the face started… the face was more challenging than I thought it would be… I started over twice and deleted big chunks until I was happy with the direction. I need to fix some kinks and small bulges on the cheek (you can see it on the far right image).

As always comments are welcomed.


#13

This looks to be promising Mr. Snows. Don’t forget to include the theme music audio file with your image when you’re done.


#14

Cool :buttrock:. I’m missing old cartoons :stuck_out_tongue:


#15

Head looks great! But I feel like the face might be too feminine? I’m not sure, can’t find good enough views of Voltron’s face. Maybe you should double check the corners of the eyes to make sure. Otherwise good luck! It’s coming along nicely!


#16

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, although in the cartoon it seems a little feminine but that’s just MHO. Let see what it looks like once I make the black lion’s head and I’ll make adjustments. thanks for the crit:thumbsup:


#17

I think its the lips, too soft. But your right, Voltron definitely has a feminine look in his face.


#18

ok, here I tweaked the eyes, the top edge is more straight now I also tweaked the lips a little as Wyatt suggested.


#19

Great work on the model so far :slight_smile: I used to love watching this show. I’m interested to see what proportions you’ll be doing the arms in relationship with the legs - Voltron always seemed to have puny arms compared to it’s huge legs :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck.

Looking good Snows. :thumbsup:
