Haven't had much time to work on this, I just moved back to NY and my cpu isn't here yet so I'm using my brother's old laptop in the meantime.
I'm gonna see how far I get tonight:

Happy Birthday! Coming along good. He's a little stubby for Sagat though, unless thats what the redesign calls for. Also, the upperbody is someswhat square. keep it up though!

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

Thanks man

I plan to lengthen out his proportions and bulk up his shoulder muscles some more once I get done with the hands + feet.

He's looking a little bubbley to me, maybe its all the spec on the model.
I personaly would tone down the muscle just the smallest amount. Sagat was a very tall, slender but chiseled character. I think that's what I liked most about him, it gave him a very Thai kickboxer feel. But it is a redesign after all

I'm trying to match the alpha version of Sagat, but there'll be some redesign going on

The muscles were too cartoony, so I bought a few anatomy books and i'm going to rework them.

Emil Mujanovic · Oct 2006

That's looking a shitload better dude!
Not much of a re-design though

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

When I get to texturing him, I think that's where the whole redesign thing will come in to play.

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

A couple of crashes tonight , but autobak saved the day

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

he's at 9180 polys now, the legs still don't seem right to me, but i'll begin unwrapping tomorrow either way.

I see the legs as not tall and lanky enough if you want to be more true to the character.

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

I lengthened the legs and I think it's cool now. I started on the skin:

hawken · Oct 2006

it's cool, like the dark muscle definition.

still needs a "re-design" though, right?

rooster · Oct 2006

I think the thighs could be longer still, the distance from crotch to knee isnt very far. definately liking this one though, but hawkens right about the redesign

ill_logic · Oct 2006

i'm liking the shading on the muscles. it looks a lot like that figure they put out (to me anyway). and i realize he is supposed to have big goofy feet but i don't know. they're kind of bothering me. but that's just me.
he really needs a redesign though. are you not giving him a scar? and at the very least, maybe giving him the muay thai trunks with the characters in the front? give him the rope wraps as opposed to the bandages? but that's just texture stuff & i think maybe you need to do something to swap up the mesh. just some suggestions. take them or leave them. good luck!

hawken: yep, i'm not giving up on the redesign.

rooster: I like the legs the way they are now, but once the skin is done I'll take a second look and see if I can make them better.

ill_logic: He'll still have all his scars. Those are good ideas!

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

Well after multiple abrupt shutdowns on this old laptop, my cpu is arriving tomorrow

I might paint out some stuff in the meantime though..

Here come the scars:

KaosNKorruption · Oct 2006

That's looking very sexy. I love the action figure sort of look it has.

ironbearxl · Oct 2006

Thanks, I have a bunch of references including the action figure

I haven't had a chance to work on the skin more, but i'm aiming for the weekend.

Here's a wire of the final model:
