Zeneshka. WIP character

Stertman · Aug 2009

Have started working on this character.

long way from done but its getting there, need to work on the foldings and such.. hands are still untouched and crappy ugly so ignore them.. other than that comments and critics are welcome..

will give her a big fat weapon later on and will put a mask on her mouth..

made the concept a year back..

cheers

cool build man the pack is very nice, looking good so far.

-Woog

Harry · Aug 2009

i recommend less organic forms and fine details on the machinery if you want the soviet look

Stertman · Aug 2009

yeah you are probably right.. i was thinking some kind of future soviet but maybe its a bit too scifi..

Sauron · Aug 2009

we had no sex in ussr! т_Т
looking realy cool so far

c0ldhands · Aug 2009

Nice work dude, its gonna look really good with the backpack and the flamethrower. Would like to see the chick with long blond hair, and I do hope there are more uniform details like the medals and so on. good luck!

Stertman · Aug 2009

not sure how i would do the long blond hair. seems like a hard thing to do on this character, anyone have any good tips on long hair?

and yeah, offcourse there will be medals and alot more details=)

cool you like it..

cheers..

i personally like the long sleeves as opposed to the short sleeves. I dont know if you were planning on putting the longer sleeves from the concept later, but they'd get my vote!

nice work

P.S. I think it'd be fun to push her over. I'd be loling while she tried to get up wearing stilettos and wielding a flamethrower. :poly128:

dejawolf · Aug 2009

yeah go long sleeve

slipsius · Aug 2009

id say make the leg gun holder thing look like its tighter on the leg. right now it looks as though it isnt secure. put a gun in it and its gonna fall down. especially when running.

jacob07777 · Aug 2009

I'm diggin the design so far man. Good stuff, can't wait to see more

See if this helps (always refer to the original material

)

I think the combination of old school leather rather than nylon parts really helps give the soviet feel, as well as the trademark olive green. If you wanna detail it up just cover the thing in random valves or borrow some details from a mig engine

Sauron · Aug 2009

Harry, LOL "НАЛИВ" i don't think that it is a correct word)) its even incorrect in russian.
It will be better with "БЕНЗИН", or "КЕРОСИН", or with some other fuel name, or without it at all

Harry · Aug 2009

yeah i'm pretty sure it's from some norwegian site or something, they may have gotten it wrong. Although that is in fact where you would fill the fuel in. (still seems dumb and self-explanatory)
EDIT: although, i havent seen a photo of РОКС-2 from that angle, so I'm not sure.

Stertman · Aug 2009

thanks everyone.. will have a look at it Harry.. thanks for looking that up for me.
will post an update later tonight.. have had a busy weekend an havnt got much done..

cheers

Vailias · Aug 2009

Yeah I think they were going for "Fill" with "НАЛИВ". And with two valves on top knowing which one to open could be important.

"hot" girls are always a good direction though.

Would be awesome to see some mig engine inspired flame wand though.

Sauron · Aug 2009

yea, what is the second valve for? Harry, do you have a scheme or something... how does flamethrower works?)

t4paN · Aug 2009

She's hawt :X

Stertman · Sep 2009

been slow on this one the last days, made the mask and some other stuff. added a placeholder hair to get the look and feel of the final character. Made the sleves long, was going to do short but since you wanted long i will go with that. need to get to the folds soon and make the hat.

hope you like it.. comments and crits are as always welcome..

Stertman · Sep 2009

Stertman · Sep 2009

hey,

done some tweaking and adding some stuff to here, new hat and a pair of gloves to protect her from the hot flamethrower etc.. also started to block out some colors.. will start to make the lowpoly tomorrow i think..

saw now that the ankle looks a bit wierd in the renders.. will look at that..

renderhjs · Sep 2009

I noticed that in most pictures the boobs are in the center or at least one of them, so to speak the eye catcher

nice job so far

edit: the last shot features a pantsu shot, I know what you are aiming for

vcool · Sep 2009

I think the red tie is out of place. She's not a porn star, she's a soldier. Why would she have a tie? I also think it's too much of a contrast.

If you wanna keep that in, though, you probably need one of these rather than a tie. I don't know what it's called in english. :P

renderhjs · Sep 2009

scarf

Sauron · Sep 2009

WOW! she is really cool, cant wait to see it finished

It's funny you said that, because the boots read "porno" to me more than anything else-- without the stripper-stilettos I could see this as a "sexy pinup" themed model, but with those shoes, I wholly expect her to take all the clothes off.

I agree that the tank is a bit too sci-fi looking compared to looking Soviet, but it's cool looking either way-- nice clean lines and good shapes. Perhaps get more valves and hoses on there to break up the clean silhouette and give it a bit more of a Soviet/dieselpunk feel. Keep up the good work.

Stertman · Sep 2009

think the tie will stay, you are pretty right about the stilettos WipEout.. but dont know if i feel like changing that, need to finish this model soon, am supposed to be animating it by now=/.. any ide on what type of boots would fit? and well yeah, as you probably understand she is ment to be "sexy" otherwise she wouldnt have those clothes on=P

thanks for the comments.. alwas welcomed..

more valves wasnt a bad id

pyromania · Sep 2009

I'd go for a knee high combat boot since you are going for a military character. Something in black or brown leather. Something like this,

The one with the straps would compliment the straps on the flamethrower.

P442 · Sep 2009

lol. looks hot, though impractical. I'm curious about the pack. Is it a breathing apparatus or does it hold fuel for a flamethrower?

conte · Sep 2009

AWEZOMG.

AimBiZ · Sep 2009

Coming along nicely. ^^

Only crit would be the design of the boots. Personally I'd like to see them more bulky. Right now I think they look too fragile. Only my 2 cents though.

Keep it up!

Stertman · Sep 2009

thanks all, Yeah, sounds like i will need to make new boots then=P doh..=) But i think i'll make some kind of half high heels and halv army boot or something.. back to the drawing board..
The backpack is for both air and flamethrower fuel, air in the big one and like compressed fuel in the smaller ones was my ide, think it works?.. will make an attachement on the backpack for the hose for the flamethrower when i model the weapon itself..

thanks for all the help and comments, keeps me going=)

jaball · Sep 2009

KEEP THE BOOTS!!

It was the first thing I looked at on her and it made me think, "oh she is a bit crazy" It certainly makes her more "stripper" like, but that is what worked about it. The sexy ones are always the crazy ones! and chicks with flame throwers are always crazy!

...not to mention, the mini skirt is not exactly "military style". Go with what you have!

torontoanimator · Sep 2009

quite sexy

i love how much detail you put into the outfit, it looks quite realistic

Stertman · Sep 2009

slow updates, but have made the lowpoly and started the texturing process, not near finished.. made a really fast rigg to get rid of the boring t-pose for a while=) skinning is made really fast so there are some really obvious deformation problems at some places..

still have some small pieces of geometry left to do, badges and pistol holster etc.

this is just screenshots from maya viewport, so no fancy lights and shadows and stuff..

cheers
