The teeth need some reworking methinks to soften up the edges a bit, and the sides of the eyes have a huge gap. Overall you captured the expression pretty well I would say! Though make sure the iris is double ringed as that adds to his crazy expression.
Keep up the good work! :wavey:
@iliketrees: yeh i’ll do that with the eye today and see how it looks
@RageOfAges: thanks
@SNoWs: thanks
@WyattHarris: I really do agree…i’m so glad I decided to have one more go at redoing the head.
@Geta-Ve: Yeh the teeth are still the old ones…I’m going to make some new ones today, and I didn’t notice the huge gap on the eye until it was rendered…but it has been fixed. I’ll be fixing up the eye too
and in other news…100 replies! woop…
Excellent work! I love how you manage to translate the drawings into CG, staying so true to the original. Great!
Cheers!
Nice update, dunno about modeling the actual veins and sweat drops on the head and eyes though, maybe you could texture those instead, otherwise really nice progress, keep it up man.
You have really captured vegeta’s face in that expression! It will be one of the many expressions he will get in the future encounters with goku… awesome! keep it up!
Vegeta looks like his head is about to explode- PERFECT! It has been a while since I’ve seen the cartoons but I remember he always seemed to have a subliminal “under pressure” warning sign on that forehead of his, or was -->this<-- close to rupturing his own spleen.
Great work Paul,
I’m with Jett about toning down the bulging vein on the forehead, well maybe thinning it slightly. Apart from that what a great intense look you have given him 
@TheRazorsEdge: thanks, I’ve found in the past I’ve had a bit of a knack for doing that so I’m glad it wasn’t just a fluke.
@jett12: I thinned it down a little and you’re right…it does look a bit better.
@PeterR: thanks
@rajeevm: yeah he’s my second favourite after the Adult Gohan
@TimCallaway: Thanks
@Justame2002: yeah I’m not sold on the sweat or the eye veins either…lol…I’m going to see if i can tone them down a bit.
@vshen: vegeta always had the best expressions
@waterlilly: he was quite the angry one…lol…
@japetus: thanks
@samartin: thanks
okay so…I haven’t worked on this for a few days so I should be ready to get back into it some time tomorrow…this is my list of what I’ve yet to do:
Vegeta
Goku
Packaging
Idea’s for final renders:
And if I can get all that done before the deadline, I want to have a go at doing this shot of gohan as an extra figure
if not I’ll do it after the challenge is over
A perfect use for Augmented reality, which has been discussed recently on HMC thread!
@RageOfAges: hey yeah i hadn’t even thought of that…
okay so i’ve finally finished the vegeta model…
now to ‘robo’ pose him…although his pose is confusing me a bit cos of the angle he’s drawn at…i can’t seem to translate it to 3d in a way that doesn’t look ridiculous
An idea: Maybe you could ignore that reference, and have him on the opposite angle, as if he WAS facing that way, but the backlash from the blast pushed his upper torso backwards.
-Rage
@RageOfAges: thanks, i had another look at it and was able to come up with something I was happy with…
and just for fun i put both models in the one scene to show the sort of setup the final ‘toy’ will have. picture a big ass energy ball battle happening in the middle
