HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon: Skeletor

#21

Looking fantastic, I like the way you put the base mesh on top of the sclupted version, nice clean lines and can’t wait to see your final model :slight_smile:

#22

Geta-Ve: thanks alot. glad you you think so. heheh…

samartin: thanks. it’s actually just how it looks when you retopologize in zbrush.

-well, finally i got some more time to work on this. there’s been a few personal things i had to take care of first.
i’ve gone a little further with the remodeling of the body in zbrush, and done the base for the head in silo (re-modeled in silo, from a zbrush sketch).

Hey Ras. This is looking really great buddy. The topology looks really clean.

Cheers mate:)

#24

Its looking amazingly great pal. I do like the idea of that exagerated look on the torso as it gives a more inmersive illusion of him being kinda goul or undead but powerfull.

Congratulations.

#25

thanks alot brett. really appriciate it. talk soon.

LMG: thanks alot. yeah! i’m trying to give him a more ghoul like figure. kinda thinks this fits him better.

i finished remodeling the body. today i also did base meshes for the belt and bone-necklace.
next up… boots and “tentacles” or hood thingie.

No crits, perfect.

#27

I love the look.
I find it interesting that even though he is not as bulky as many of the versions of him tend to be but feel crueler than most of those. He has that I don’t need steroids to kick your A**!

Keep it up looking forward seeing more!

#28

I really love the look your are creating here. This guy oozes evil on a “Darth Vader”-level and really does not need any steroids to make him intimidating. Great work!

Small crit: The upper arms seem a bit flat in comparison to the delts and could use some thickness, I’d say. The way you have the arm positioned, the brachialis and triceps (lateral head) should be a tad more visible and provide said volume.

Cheers!

#29

Airflow: thanks.

mnartgirl: glad you think so. yeah! some the “muscle versions” i’ve seen just got too much. so i thought i’d go in a bit different direction.

TheRazorsEdge: hey felix. thanks alot for the useful crits. i’ll see what i can do.

here’s a little head sculpting. actually not sure if this is how i want it…
what do you guys think?

I like the sculpt but I would suggest looking at the teeth somewhere down the line. The font teeth all seem to have general curve at the bottom.

Keep up the amazing work.

#31

Great work Rasmus!

I’m loving the sculpt, and I think the retopo looks killer. Can’t wait to see more! :buttrock:

#32

Hi Rasmus,

I like the head :slight_smile: The only thing I would change is the nose - may be remove some of the flesh and make a deep cavity there…
Nice progress.

#33

I love the look, i m just curious about the eyes. Could it be more intense if you got just the orbits complete black and eyes could be made by some dark magic flame or so.

Just an idea cause it need, in my opinion, to look more bone like skull … maybe as other suggested correcting the nose or so could make it.

Good progress.

#34

looking awesome ras. I agree bout the eye socket and nasal cavity. Look forward to the update.

#35

Hey Rasmus,

Nice job so far. I really like how you chose to approach Mummra. Are you planning on adding on some mummy wrap? It would really help bring out the mummy in Mummra.

#36

mnartgirl: thanks alot. yeah! i’ll sure fix those teeth. i did a new head sculpt, with some of the fixes some of you suggested.

grafi: hey buddy! really glad you think so. can’t wait to see what you are working at. hope they treat you well. hehe

musi: thanks for the crits, sasha. hope you like the “new” head.

LMG: yeah! you are absolutely right. i fixed the cavity of the eyes for this update.

BrettSinclair: thanks man.

skalil: thanks. only thing is, i’m not doing mumm-ra, but skeletor. so no mummy wraps.

today i got a bit more blocking done. did a new “spine-hood” thingie. think this looks more like what i first had intended.
next up, boots and weapons.

first of a little wire…

and 2 shaded…

c&c is ofcause always welcome.

#37

Sorry about that comment. I saw a few people doing Mum-Ra and must of thought you were doing him too. I never really watched He-Man so I forgot who Skeletor was. But yea, he does look pretty good.

#38

Man this is looking awesome, Rasmus.

On the wireframe image, the density in the teeth makes it look like he’s actually got his mouth wide open in a snarl, and I find that looks better than when you can see that his mouth is closed. That, however, is personal opinion, not a crit. As far as crits go, I have none.

#39

I can only add another voice to the chorus: Looks awesome!

Small thing I noticed: The skull is beginning to look a lot more simian rather than human. Not sure if that is intentional.

Skol!:cool:

#40

skalil: no sweat. i reckon they do have some similarities.

RageOfAges: thanks for the suggestion. i’ll sure think it over.

TheRazorsEdge: thanks. yeah! think you are right. it wasn’t intended but i kinda like it. think he looks more mean.
i’ll probally loose the skin parts of the head. i like it better, just being a cranium.

going away for the weekend, so i’ll first be back at this next week.
