HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon: Mumm-Ra

#121

ohhhh disturbing… nice! keep on rocking man!

#122

Thanks Angel. :smiley:
Thought I’d throw up some of where I’m at before I take off to work.

#123

Oberyn … amazin job! Looks fantastic.

Im glad you could make such a progress with plenty of time before the dead line.

Congratulations.

#124

I would say try to meld the meat on his skull to the flesh in his face more. Right now they look like 2 very separate layers. Its a bit jarring seeing his exposed teeth on one side. At first I didn’t like it but now I see its just disturbing. :smiley: Maybe have some hanging flesh scraps coming down over his teeth, IDK.

#125

Thanks, LMG!

Yeah. I think one of the things that throws that side of the face off is that the border of the flesh runs near-parallel to the tooth line/jaw line. It stops right at the cheekbone, more or less. Something to break that up would definitely help. I will PROBABLY add more junk all around. At the very least a bit of color, so the skull that’s showing right by hunks of meat isn’t all fresh and pretty.

#126

Sweet progress! Not much else to say right now. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

#127

Thanks man. :smiley:
Adding another face update. I decided to include some more anatomy.
Working?

Edit: Threw in an auto-corrected image just to have one that’s not so dark. :stuck_out_tongue:

#128

The extra anatomy is definitely working. Close up, though, it looks like the gums are a 3rd row of teeth. I’m sure color will help, but perhaps you could reduce the indenting to make it look more different from the teeth.

Looking awesome.

:eek:wow that looks cool can’t wait to see it posed. the skull reminds me of terminator :smiley:

Why do you ALWAYS have really dark pictures on everything you work on? bring up the damn brightness on your monitors son! It’s okay! just because it looks a bit brighter, it won’t hurt your pretty vampiric eyes. Promise. :bounce:

One criticism,

That bothers me. It’s like a little linen hoodie thing of some kind, it totally clashes with the rest because it’s soaking up such a large area where detail could be at. I say get rid of it, and let us see the typical bandages covering his body. Unless of course you don’t have any bandages below it.

hehe Thanks for the grin. Though I found that super early in the development of this character.
…
Wouldn’t that be turn the brightness on the monitors DOWN? If it looks fine on mine, I would need to turn the brightness DOWN to make the end result a happy, spring morning picture for your eyes. :stuck_out_tongue:

As for the linen hoodie thing, I kinda like it. I am thinking of ways to break it up, but I like the whole linen mantle thing. And no, there are no bandages under it.

Edit:
This is what’s under the mantle:

#132

I also like the mantle. It is necessary to catch little bits of flesh that fall through his mouth when he eats people. It’s his EVIL BIB!

#133

Haha! That’s great. :smiley:
Yeah, I tweaked it a bit to appease the Marcel, but it’s not going anywhere. :slight_smile:

#134

Minor update. Not much changed, but OH MY GAH painting funeral wrappings is tedious. :argh:
Need to go and throw some gunk and stuff on’em too.


#135

Made this for a teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny weeny cloak chain thingie, but I might get to reuse it in the tomb.

LOL “suicidal maya posing”. Looks sweet. A lot of work for a tiny detail, but it’s easy to get lost sometimes, and also refreshing good to take a break from one model when you’ve been staring at it for a month. I totally dig it.

#137

Oberyn you are mad man. Absolutly marvellous modelling and sclupting.
I do believe this is one of the few i think have a really chance for this challenge.

Keep it up, Ill love to see it done.

Congratullations!

Holy F*% SH#* this rocks (sorry for that, you know I’m french and my english is a little approximate :smiley: ) , that’s a marvel, those details are killers, Congrats man, this is insane :buttrock:

#139

Thanks Rage. Yeah… there were 3 reasons I went so overboard with something that’s such a small detail. The first was exactly what you mentioned. I’ve been eating, sleeping, and breathing Mumm-ra for a month, and needed to look at something else for a while… Secondly, I was hoping to create a nicely detailed asset that I could reuse in the tomb. Thirdly, I sculpted a snake really similar to this when I first started learning zbrush, and I was massively proud of it, so I tried to make one similar (ego boost for using your OWN ART for reference! :D)

Thanks tons, Fictis & LMG. :slight_smile:

This is what the “final” cloak pin ended up looking like:

Unfortunately, I’m probably going to have to remake the snake portion (well, repose it, using a lower subdiv. level from the base tool). For some reason- I’m assuming it has something to do with the symmetry- zbrush doesn’t want to reconstruct a lower subD level for the snake, and the lowest I can get it is around 50k. Which is obviously ridiculous for something that will end up being a little dot on the screen when I’m done. Oh well! I still have a nifty snake for the tomb!

Really love the work you have done so far. Definitely one of my favorite entries. Looking forward to more! :thumbsup:
