[FIGHTER] Guilty Gears, VENOM, poopinmymouth
polycounter lvl 19
I promised myself (a long time ago) I wouldn't enter a comp unless I had something to show, and I planned on finishing. I think I have a 90% completion rate on time, and 100% eventually.
Venom is the only character officially stated as being homosexual (care of the latest Guilty Gear drama CD Night of Knives released at the end of 2004), although this was heavily implied throughout his story sequences in the games and in the Guilty Gear novel The Butterfly and Its Gale.

I am a horrible 2d artist, and I want to get into the modeling, so I'm just doing orthos rather than trying to draw a cool pose with proper foreshortening. I already have a pretty good idea, keeping his monochrome color scheme, bare torso, white hair (though I'm shortening it), blue eye design on the hair, big shoulder pads, tight-ass pants, and his affinity for balls.
Small showing, but it's something at least! Will try to do a bit each night, but got lots of stuff keeping me busy otherwise.

Love this series.
I'll be following this one, since this will be the first time I've watched you do any WIP posts, poop. Can't wait
Side note, Eagle from Street Fighter is gay as well, but that bit was censored when brought to the states.

Good & interesting choice awaiting some kick assery.
HAhahahaa, that's pretty true.
I'm looking forward to seeing the different direction you take him. I'm still struggling to come up with something different for any character that isn't completely predictable, done a million times, or boring as dirt.
And I'm REALLY glad to know I'm not the only guy here who lacks confidence in their 2d skills.
HAHAHAHAH!!! Actually I didn't even think of it, since the white hair is so intrinsic to his character.
But... that was a fair implication. hahahahah

But i see this as a challenge: unofficial sub-competition make the gayest looking character is on.
(hopefully you take this as a joke dude, no hate intended here)
How are you going to compete? hmmmmmm? I have infinite reference, lol.
I have a shipped title where I put in a normal mapped pink anus with a matching specular map.
i hope you're keeping those crazy ass pants. they're pretty haute-macabre already.
check out Mildred von Hildegard's stuff, if you're not familiar.
a well painted anus is what got me into the industry.
Chiming in with the red hair & freckles, if he doesn't do it, I owe him an e-cookie. Ben, if his "rod" is less than 6 inches, you lose the unofficial comp. :-D

Kick ass, poop! I hope you get to finish this one.
i have yet to ship a title were i didnt give a character/creature with no pants a beautiful chocolate starfish. its my calling card.. a game a recently worked on i even had the tech artist throw in a bone and when scaled made it look like it was contracting.
please go on!
oh and subscribed
I haven't sketched in years. I could spend hours (that I don't really have) trying to come up with proportions and design while also trying to maintain perspective and anatomy, or I can do this and move on to modeling quicker. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do, and it's just proportions and general fit and shape I need to suss out in 2d.
Weak-sauce cop-out? maybe, but it's my preferred method and I enjoy this much more.
You mean you're going to bring it up higher? Or are you thinking of bringing it lower, kind of like a dress?
I've got a few possible ideas:
*make them pants like this, and sew in a white swatch that keeps the original shape, but doesn't interupt the pant's line from the silhouette, just the color
*add an actual white sash on top
*I'm still unclear if I will make it more like a low hanging belt, or if I will have one black leg/one white leg. I plan to try both once I get more of the design down, and see how I like it. Two tone legs will bring the visual focus down, whereas all black legs will let the focus stay up to.
*some kind of string/lace belt that is white hanging on top *very loosely* like this http://www.godammit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/office-tramp-belt.jpg
I was just fucking with you
I'm real exited to see where you take this character. I haven't seen any modeling piece from you in ages so its awesome to see you back in the grind! I like the direction your pushing him, maybe do something different then the brohawk haircut, its the only thing thats a bit boring in the current design.
looking forward to the awesomeness
Love how you're avoiding taking this into a sculpting program.
as Jacque said though, nice job doing only modeling
Resurrected this project. Giving myself a 20k limit, body is mostly done, a few tweaks here and there, just working on the eyelbrows, eyelashes, will need to optimize the hair down, but will work on that as I texture.
As I originally intended, no normal, just a hand painted diffuse using the Xoliul shader with half lambert cranked nearly to full.
I love the design. Those legs.
