WIP - Regis Loisel's Hook

MarvelTile

Hello folks !

After letting my Elton Hulk on standby, went on some more appealing character modeling, as some of you suggested me.

One of my favorite comics character, Captain Hook, from Peter Pan written and drew by Regis Loisel. Huge fan.

I'm about to finish rough details of pants, shoes and hook tomorrow, having some time. Would have love some thoughts before the retopology and fine details, wich will be more difficult to modify once done.

Last update :

Some news !

Finished the model yesterday. It's far away from the results I expected but I've learned a lot with this first finished character ! Will do better and faster with the next one

Is there anyway to embeder the viewer here ? Will post some stills tomorrow anyway...

Forgot to post some ref pictures, I have all comics at home but here are some I found :



Btw, he only lose his left hand in the 5th tome, so as the board shown on third picture is coming from an earlier stage, he still has both. But couldn't do Hook without the hook.

Update.

Need to do some more forms on the ankles, really not happy with them. Something seems pretty odd about the pant too... Gonna take a break.

Tell me your thoughts !

MarvelTile

Update : Some rework on the major forms of the pants. Gonna give some love to that hook now.

MarvelTile

Gave the hook some love !

Ok, need some work on the right side of the coat (missing a pouch), the hair and build the ears. Then it's retopology time I think.

Guys, give some thoughts before it's too late !

Nolt

He's looking pretty good as far as detail (define some of those shapes a bit more). I would work on his overall proportions. He feels a little bloated as far as his legs and chest as compared to his comic character so maybe try to slim him down a little. Keep it up

MarvelTile

Hey ! Thx for your reply ! You're absolutely right, in fact I had the same impression for a while, but always hard to just take a step back and gets some simple maths done... A little bit to intuitive on that matter. Not that hard to take some basic proportions rules on the ref and apply them to my work .....




Did that quickly and... think my head is a bit too small, and even corrected (that or the body a bit too long in fact) I think my body will still be too wide. 1 head more than the original hook. Wich gives this bloated feeling.

I'll go in transpose master correct this before going for the retopology. I need a nice mesh before going deeper in details.

Hook as quote in the movie Hook, need to appear as a giant to kids Always love that Hoffman punchline in the movie

See ya with the corrected proportions, and thanks again, really helping

MarvelTile

Hey, put some work on the proportions, eager to start the retopology now. How is it looking ?

MarvelTile

Hey ! Worked on some more details and started the retopology !



I did something wrong with the coat, had to reproject because I lost my first subdiv level and made the mistake of doing the retopology before finishing details... so I might have to redo the coat topology once again... Or I'll try to fix with my first subdiv level in Zbrush... Dunno yet...

Still learning a lot of stuff on this second model...

Maybe it's possible for me to reload in topogun my coat low poly and adjust it with the new modifications on the high poly model... Will see.
