Totoro Bus Stop [wip]

makecg

This project is based off of the concept which can be seen here. My girlfriend found the image and gave me 2 weeks to model, texture everything. to sort of test my abilities..




I started a 2 days ago on the monster.

makecg

Some more shots.

ZacD

Your girlfriend seems a little bit twisted.

makecg

indeed

roosterMAP

I freakin love it! Cant wait to see more!

DrunkShaman

Nice work! Looking forward for the updates.

makecg

Thanks,

Heres a shot of the girl WIP Hair will be remade a different way i don't like it right now.

trying to get the proportions and stuff layed out into Zbrush then I will have to retop some stuff. I'll post the full girl tomorrow or something.

then texture the monster for yall.


I doubt I will finish in 2 weeks but for the sake of making my gf horny i will try.

Gallows

Haha, this scene is going to be awesome. The skirt looks extremely primitive though.

makecg

heres a img side by side for fun just for now..

a look at my view port aswell..

makecg

edit *** forgot the sign..

aesir

I think the proportions of the girl's body needs some tweaking, (and also she looks like a boy), but it's coming along nice. Looking forward to the finished result!

makecg

THanks I will look at it

I got the monster UV mapped and into zbrush now just sculpting it some playing around.

makecg

makecg

I'm going to work some of his inside stuff.

makecg

Fun Render. Get the dead bodies and shit in his mouth tomorrow

warby

Mladen Jovicic

that concept scares the shit out of me. wow that's freaky. if anything, i would say puff up the hair or make it bigger on the girls head.

DrunkShaman

wow...Nice work soo far. Looking forward to see the finished version of it.

build.

This is full of awesome. Very nice transition from the concept to 3d.

roosterMAP

creepy and cool!

makecg

Ha. Truer words sir.

Somewhat curious on the interior mouth. While modeling most items in zbrush for the bake seems legit, I imagine your going to project these onto a base silhouette as opposed to modeling low polys for all objects? Awesome scene so far though. Please throw this into unreal or marmoset or something for the final.

makecg

Yeah, i'm just going to model a few items. not really a rush project but just doing it for a bit of experience.

all objects will be pretty low poly.

i post a wip img of it.

makecg

makecg

Some more images of how i am doing the inside of the mouth.

unfortunately the concept image is hard to go by at this stage so i have to make a few things up as i go...
i dont want it to be 100% like the concept anyway.

makecg

I did some more on my inside leech idea.

just strangling him and sucking the juices

makecg

Didnt feel like doing that much today.
Got some items into zbrush though..

ralusek

haha good going man. my friend set this concept art as my wallpaper about a year ago. fucking loved it

LlamaJuice

Looking rad sir, can't wait to see this one finished :P

makecg

thanks guys.

I haven't had much time to work on this cause of other work.. SUCKS

but to let you all know I'm gonna still complete it LOL

Bad update but i got it more defined in Zbrush sort of.

Next update in a week or 2 I will add all the props inside his mouth and Zbrush it all up..

export normals and make some textures.

Priske415

Awesome work dude.

makecg

I think after this model I'm going to do the 'cute' totoro low poly

n88tr

That fabric in the inside mouth is like water, it's awesome.

makecg

Started on the textures in ZB

[HP]

ah ah, you're definitely putting a lot of work on this!

Hey, I gotta ask my gf the same, see what she comes up with... xD

makecg

Well I lost my job so I'll probably spend more time with this.

LOL, kidding.


I'm going to redo the monster textures.. cause I hate them.. right now.

but i'm taking a break from the monster going to finish the girl model..

I'll probably render this in a toon style in the final.







How I did the hair.. is this fine? i'm a newbie at hair really. not much practice.

benclark

this is looking great! personally I would add more strands and layers into the hair to give a bit more depth. I think if you keep it as one shell it tends to look like lego hair

cycloverid

Before you go about redoing the textures, I'd make the details more crisp on the sculpt. It seems to me like you're going to lose out on the details produced from the high poly as is, and will have to make up for that with a more pronounced diffuse.

Miyazaki is quite inspiring though, and you're throwing in an interesting twist.

makecg

Thanks guys.

I dont feel like doing hair in strands a big chunk of hair is fine.

texturing will be when i get all the models finished probably the last stage

Still wip probably get this model kinda finalized in a few days. UV map it and shit.

makecg

Edit lol double post

Christian Hjerpe

This looks fantastic! Keep it up!

JacqueChoi

Awesome work!

Not sure if you've seen this, but someone made Mei back a while back:

(I know she's not in your image, but there's elements that really capture Miyazaki's style).



Before you head to making the cute totoro, I'd LOVE to see a decrepidly disturbing Catbus remake.

4th-child

really looking forward to seeing some updates from you fella!

fearian

I suppose its just me then that all the images are broken for?

Neox

not working here as well

kodiak

I can't see anything.

makecg

Yeah sorry guys about the images. I am busy fixing my website and probably switching host I will upload images on a different host for now.

kinda been busy studying for my drivers test and shit. updates will come though.

makecg

I'm going to upload all of the wip images again.

If you can't see these let me know i hosted them on my dropbox































Probably shouldn't show this yet but heres my scene setup. I think the thing is taking the longest is laying out the UVS i don't know if i should use 4 maps or 1

i was gonna seperate my maps for the girl but not sure.

hair, eyes, skin, cloth, does it matter? anyway






and to all of you that likes music

rube

one thing that adds to the awkwardness of the original image that isn't in your scene yet is the girls smile... like she's trying to pretend that he isn't standing right beside her.. it's small but I think it's a big detail.

makecg

Yeah I agree about the smile. I'll change that.

you think I should try and follow the concept all the way or should I switch it up a little bit?
