Hi,

To start I'll like to introduce you Mr. Franaleon.

It's quite excited to be here!

This is the Zbrush version some million polys :poly124:

And here you have the ingame versions of it from 16k to a few hundred tris.

Step by step process to get the idea flowing in my head.

The Start point was obvious. How should I see a warrior coming from outer space. And in Freezer words just a dirty monkey

The Saiyans were a race of warriors human shaped, but with some reminiscences of a monkey. In essence they were brute soldiers with armors and at some point they could turn into giant wolf gorillas.

So that is where I started to develop my character: Morrix. An alien with some features of a gorilla, but not just a shaved monkey, something else. Something more than a bodybuilder gorilla. A true terrific alien invader!

Once Ive got some good shapes I feel comfortable I start to be more specific. Some times in the edge of getting Nappa alive!
Also I play with the idea of having some weapons to give Morrix the long range combat ability.

Once Im ready to start the 3D Model I need to get the final form.
I wanna make it really buffed and ripped, but not as hairy as an ape. So I decide to avoid Nappas mustache and make some nice Mohawk and some sideburns. Also I get him really big arms, and a nice 6 pack full of food!
Hehehehe, He likes a lot to eat, so I see no point being the Slim Morrix. Once this concept has showed me the way I want to go, all I have to do is start the 3D Sculpture. And, since Im both the concept artist and the 3D artist of this character I have no worries changing parts of my creature.
