HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon: Goku vs Vegeta

#141

I love this. Good work. I have tried time and time again to do the dbz hair and have failed. Your models really capture the same art style as the originals. Look forward to seeing more.

@phionix: thanks

Just yesterday I added to my growing reference bank by getting seasons 5-7 of DBZ on dvd, only 2 more seasons to go and i will have all of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z on DVD and the GT seasons are coming out here soon as well…

I’ve never actually seen Dragon Ball Z past the end of the Cell Saga (and I’ve only watched the first 2 seasons of Dragon Ball and none of GT) so it will be good to be able to watch them all through once the collection is complete.

Not sure how much I’ll get done today, gotta go out this afternoon and then I have a clan match tonight on Killzone 2…and I’m a leader so I’ve gotta be there…lol…

#143

aw man this is one exciting thread to keep looking at lotsa updates :drool: and it looks cool jsut like a toy lol

#144

@razeverius: thanks

a bit of an update, did some serious vert pushin’ and got everything sorted out on goku after his ‘rigging’ mishap…lol…looks much better now…just needs a new hand and the hands posed and he’s as good as done…

will fix vegeta up tomorrow and then get onto the new heads…

#145

Alright, I don’t think I’ve let this slip off the front page this whole challenge, so here’s a small update…no pics but they will be up soon…

I’ve started making the new head…I want to try and make one generic head that is easy enough to modify for a whole bunch of characters yet still maintain the DBZ look…I think I’m doing an alright job of that so far…will have pics in a little while…

in other news I saw the new dragonball movie today…well…umm…fail…lol…as a fan of both Dragon Ball and movies…it just didn’t work…not that I expected it to…

#146

great job man. great to see you have the old vegeta look going. before he turned all anti-hero on us.

also glad to see you recovered from a rigging mishap lol :smiley:

#147

Yeah, too bad! I saw the trailer and thought, I’d pass on that one. The movie industry really has a way of screwing up these things. A shame really. With the right director this could be killer, although I think it should probably be done all CG, rather than live-action.

Great going on your project here, though. Cant wait to see your new updates.

Cheers!

#148

y’know i reckon i wouldn’t do a half bad job of a live dragon ball movie, I’ve got so many ideas and since I’m a fan I would do my best not to screw it up…lol…anyone wanna fund my movie?

now for an update on the new head…i’m not sure if i’m 100% on it but it is sort of the look i wanted so hopefully once i whack some hair on there it’ll look alright…

#149

I can truly say you nailed the profile “manga style”! im impressed =)

Think it would look great if you faded the eyebrows more at the back
(just push some of the “blocks” in more)

Cheers mate =)

#150

@energise: thanks, i was quite happy with the profile as well. your buu is looking awesome as well…

just a few minor tweaks to the face before i fill out the rest of the head…i’m much happier with it now…

#151

thanks =) the eyebrows are lookin much better now!

just have one miinor crit left in me hehe :stuck_out_tongue:
he seems to be slightly crosseyed at the moment :wink: nothing big hehe… cant wait to see him with the rest of the head!

#152

@energise: they always did seem a bit crosseyed in dbz…lol…

here’s a shot of vegeta with the new head + hair

#153

There are so many poses and expressions in here that you could do your own Dragonball 3D comic :smiley:

(hmmm…a final entry consisting of comic book cells…)

#154

New Vegeta´s face looks weird. The previous one was excellent though…

#155

Probably still in progress but his left hand is twisted way too much. I went back and double checked it with the comic and yeah it needs to be turned clockwise a little more.

Ignore this if you’re already on it. :smiley:

#156

wow i never thought i’d get over 10,000 views…thanks guys

@stage-gr: that was actually one of my original concepts for an entry, to do a page of the comic book rendered in 3d…an idea for the future i think

@ZombieGoasts: yeh i’m tweaking the face a little so it should look a bit better

@WyattHarris: lol the hand is whack…but i do still have a lot to do to it…

will have some updates later on tonight

EDIT: fixed up vegeta’s head somewhat…mouth still needs a little work but overall i’m happy with it

#157

Much better. I was afraid the Vegeta a few posts up was going to throw up on me.

#158

I shall be honest, I liked the previous Vegeta head better. This one seems to have puffy cheek syndrome! :smiley:

The sneer works for me, but the puffy cheeks are a bit of a distraction at this point.

Hair still looks groovy :wink:

#159

@RageOfAges: thanks

@Geta-Ve: i too liked the old face but it just didn’t fit with the pose i switched to…lol…i’ve tried thinning out the cheeks a bit to fix up the puffiness…will have pics later on…

i’m currently posing the hands for goku and vegeta…the convenient thing is that it seems they both have the same poses on their hands…one hand is a fist and the other is posed…so that should make my job easier…lol

will have some updates later on…

#160

okay so here we are…goku is as good as finished… :bounce: just a few minor tweaks here and there but he is essentially done…its such a long time since i’ve actually finished a model such as this…its a good feeling…

i didn’t end up redoing the hair because at the angle its at…and with the new face…i kinda like how it looks…
