HCM #30: Classic Movie Poster - Conan

#16

Cool keep going because Arnold is the man! we have the forget the fame of the new Conan to come :wink:

#17

great poster and kick ass movie, if you need more anatomical reference check out “Pumping Iron” it has loads of footage of Arnold. Keep up the good work.

#18

@scote Thanks yeah I am running out of time but I do want to do him justice.
@Sampei I really do need to watch that

Here is the latest didn’t get to work to much on him but I did do a very rough Valeria.

#19

Did some more work, spent to much time on his sword since you cant really see it. Added some other props, and for some reason I guess I made him skinnier, which I am going to fix soon. Here is the wip

#20

keep up the good work mate, one of my favorite posters, had it on my wall for years!

#21

nice update, I like the sword!

#22

@Agatanga Thanks, I hope I can do it justice
@greenpizza Thanks, The sword could be a nice model just by itself If the proper time was spent on in it.

Here is the latest wip didn’t get as much done as I was hoping this weekend, going to really have to push this last week, since I won’t have much if any time this weekend.

#23

Here is the update on Conan, did some more work on Valeria but its no where near where it needs to be.

#24

good going! the fingers around the sword are too big though…the pinky touches his wrist

#25

really nice sculpt, Keep going man!

#26

nice,

I want to see the final lighting of that!

#27

@AgaTanga you are right and thanks!
@Tombery Thanks!
@Scote Its going to end up being lit in Zbrush and then tweaked in photoshop some I think. I will prob paint the background to look like it is.

Here is the update

#28

Another WIP tweaking away.

#29

Looking amazing so far!

Only thing that is looking out since the start is his waist looks too wide by about 15% or so.

Near the beginning it felt like the whole model was about 10% too wide, but now it’s almost perfect except that part… just needs to taper away from the top of his chest to his waist more I think.

Cheers

@mr Whippy thanks I didn’t get to slimming him up, I moved this past weekend, so pretty much only tightened up his belt hopefully that helps the issue you where seeing. Thanks for the feedback.

Final shot:

Hehe, looking good :smiley:

Just one more crit, but not sure if it matters. If you will be showing off the side/back, the womans bum cheeks look a bit weird… surely they should be a bit smooth, they look really muscular :curious:

Not sure what they were like in the film now, but tending to think if they had looked like that I’d remember :wink:

Chris I think you did an awesome job. I’m sure I could find things to criticize about, nit picking and what not, but AFAIC the final models look excellent. Strong poses, nice detailed sculpts, and the chemistry between the two characters is quite pronounced.

Thumbs up for sure!

#33

Yes, you are right Rage, sorry if I’m nit picking Chris!

If I could even get to half that quality I’d be very pleased with myself.

The work is stunning!

Just my eyes are naturally drawn to womens bottoms, and hers looked a bit iffy, thought I had best mention it just in case :wink:

lol I just realized how my last post sounded. It wasn’t directed at you mr whippy, not at all. i just meant I personally could be nit picky but found it, for me, not to be as important as how the final image looked. Sometimes i feel differently.

My apologies I did not intend to offend.

Haha, no worries.

I think sometimes I can write things and not emphasise enough the positive comments :smiley:

It’s amazing work. It makes me want to pick up Zbrush and have a go (not done so yet, the shame :frowning: )
