Hellooo everyone. After days of running through ideas and gathering reference, I finally have a concept I'm happy about. I wanted to have some fun so I made a little character chart of my champion. Let me know what you guys think!

Arturow

Nice exploring of the character!

Hello All. Sorry for the delay, after my first set of blocking I realize the personality of my champion was getting lost. I felt the champion's movement was too serious and it wasn't fun to me anymore, I had to re-shoot and gather new reference.

Here is the first blocking:



Here are the new blocking sets:






The second time around I was going for a Ginyu Force type of feel. Also I was wondering if you guys think it is too long, if so would going back to the first pose after the upper cut a good idea? Let me know, would really appreciate your guy's input thanks!

Really great poses in there. I am excited to see it!!!

Rafael

I think the hold after the first uppercut is a tad too long. If he sent a character into the air with that first uppercut, with cartoony timing that character could be travelling upwards pretty fast so I think he could move into the second uppercut quiet quickly.

Other than that it's reading pretty well. Pretty solid posing throughout imo.

Slozhny

Metsu Shoryuken?

@Rafael: Thanks for the feed back, i'll make the change!

@Slozhny: He's suppose to jump in the air like a super hero but slowly turning while still in that same pose. Kind of what you see in a lot of Looney Tunes animations.

Wahoo almost done with finals! Hopefully I can finish early so I can put all my focus on the contest. Here's an update of my champion, enjoy!

Still need to pose out a few other in-betweens, couldn't help myself so I started polishing some things out already. :poly121: Thinking of changing the ending pose, getting mixed feelings about it. Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

mathiastakacs

Looking really great.

Slozhny

IK on arms scratch my eyes. I just hate maya... nevermind, cool animation

shawnydee

Wahoo finally finished! Sorry I couldnt upload throughout my progress, after I finished my finals I went on an animating spree and wanted to finish before doing so. Plus I wanted to get any last minute critiques.

I'll be uploading a YouTube version and my day to day progression play-blast once I get out of work today, hopefully submitting by 6-7PM. Also I wanted to ask since my champ is moving around all over the place, if it would be necessary to add a camera to follow him around for his attack.







I forgot to mention, but I'll be adding a floating ball to the attack so you guys know exactly when hes hitting something/someone.

shawnydee

Alrighty so here is everything since last week. I'm only going to post up sections of what I was working on during those days.

I realized I was spinning the wrong way so I had to rotate him the opposite, or correct direction.


But then after getting feed back, I spud up the rotation because it was dragging on too long.


blocking out the ending


taking out the karate chop, speeding up the spin and cleaning the blocking a bit more


Now moving on to the walk cycle...wooo
