lol, more anime stuff :P

almighty_gir

well, its kinda a hobby of mine to take anime stuff and give it a realistic twist. especially since most of the stuff i model makes it into jka, which would make an anime character look rubbish!

so anyway, the plan for the armour, seeing as though he is the black swordsman, is to give him a completely black texture for the armour, and use the highlighting as a specular map, i think that might be the best way of doing it. i need to work a lot more on his actual skin parts as well, but for now ive just been laying out the muscle area's and it looks pretty accurate compared with the manga refs i have.




heres the refs:

Don't make the armor completely black, give it a metal texture, very obscure. Then add some specular and weariness details to it, slight details. Apply a nice specular and env map to the rest of the armor and that should give it a nice realistic look.

Nice to see you with your own post

It looks like your basic muscle layout is going well, although I think the abdominal muscles may be too elongated.

Your metallic texture is looking good, I like the highlights.

I will assume that you will eventually use some variation in your colours, so I won't comment on that yet...

... and imo, his butt is waaay too flat
