HMC #28: Comic Book Master Tribute - Alex Ross - Batman


#1

Hola! = D I’ll try to carve the “Batman” by Alex Ross, for this artist is has the most beautiful style of painting, realism, poses, and brings me back to very ancient time in comics, but with traces relist. The most interesting is that the characters Alex, there are muscular men, women or perfect, but rather, ordinary men and women with super powers, love it, and try to be as faithful as possible = D

Here my Reference =)


#2

Those are some very sweet refs you found there. Looking forward to your first progress images.

Cheers!


#3

Good choice I really like this character, and i’m waiting to see your version.


#4

oh man, this is goin to be a classic, cant wait!


#5

Can’t wait! I’ve always liked those shots of Batman that he did. Good luck!


#6

 -----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Here's my first update, I worked hard this weekend, hehe, a 20 hours straight =) i left something. I hope you like, next week is over. I concentrated more on the character's head, the body I did just to have a base as he had at the end but got a lot to change =)


 the body is only base for now...

thx for comentsss =)


#8

great start, only bad thing I can say is the arms look short. the placement looks right off your reference but his hands are in fists and yours are not so it may just be those extra couple inches.


#9

cbeese - hey man! I agree with you, really were quite disproportionate, I had concentrated more on invez head to the body, could now give greater attention. Thank wherefore comment.

-----------------------UPDATE-------

hi. folks =)
so…here’s another update. Now made all part of “grossly” detailing to go slowly, the base is ready, now I’ll take each part and come refining.
I hope you enjoy =)

hello guys.

I am a time without posting anything, due to run the day-to-day. sorry.

well … here I have more updates, this modeling completed (I think), I am now working on texturing and shader for rendering.

I am using the renderer Finaltoon because I want to try a similar style of Alex. The biggest problem with this enlightenment, as in the case of Alex, he uses the lighting in the paint to give emphasis on certain parts of the character, with it’s unfortunately not a place to keep everything light and beautiful. I am studying each object illumination, below you will see how they are getting.

Hope you enjoy

hi guys, how ur?

this is a new render. =)

I tried to do something like 2D, but it was not good, so I decided to render a more realistic material =)

2D TEST RENDER - Finaltoon

NEW RENDER - Mental Ray

Wow, awesome work on this! I’ve always admired Alex Ross’ Batman and you hit it right on! I know it is probably too late, but my one compositional critique would be to move that batman logo out from behind his head, maybe to the upper right corner instead? It’s kind of distracting. Personally I like the real eyes instead of white eyes, but that’s just a preference thing. Again, awesome job! Both of the renders have a 2D feel to them which I think was a smart move.


#15

I am a major batman fan, and I absolutely love this, great work.


#16

japetus - hey man! how ur? so…no doubt … Alex Ross is a fantastic artist, i like all his characters, design, style, colors, are great, without exception. And I tried to capture some of this style, but there is still a good deal for me to reach the same level =). Soon I will post new test render, these were just for the challenge, I did not have much time to do many test = D. I’ll put the eyes of truth, and the symbol will change from place =), will soon post more updates for you guys. = D thanks for the comment.

Shadowkath - hi man! how ur? very thx for the comments =D


#17

nice entry 3dzeiro :slight_smile: i think you got the style into the latest render well, especially in the overall pose and facial features & exp. however i do feel that the cape folds could be tidied up (simplified) a bit to better fit his mood though :stuck_out_tongue:
good luck!
