Gladiator Challenge - Emil Mujanovic

Emil Mujanovic

Because I'm such a fanboy, I'll be doing BLIZZARD!
Concept by the end of the day (if not, then it means I won't finish and I'm a douchebag).

OrganizedChaos

I'm surprised you're the first to post wanting to represent blizzard
I'm also looking forward to what you come up with!

Rens

DO IT!

achmedthesnake

i call DOUCHEBAG!

hurry up casey - it's daytime over here so no excuses :P

Unleashed

30mins left on the east coast!!

Emil Mujanovic

I have actually done some sketching, but nothing has won me over yet... Plus we lost power here for a few hours and it only came back about 20 mins ago. But that's just a lame excuse as far as I'm concerned.
I'll try and bust something out that I'm happy with in the next hour or so. Otherwise... DOUCHEBAG!

Emil Mujanovic

After a bunch of random sketches of trying to draw something so bad ass, everyone would blow a steamy load just by looking at it and failing miserably, I decided to try a different approach: Something silly and fun.

I'm doing a scrawny Ice Wizard clad in American Gladiators spandex gear and weilding an ice staff. He'll have a few wizardry pouches and maybe even a spell book attached to his belt. Here's just a random head I'm playing with, just so I've posted something.
Will post more once I've got something.

Vrav

The connect of the eyebrows/sideburns/beard is sweet. He looks pretty mean with the long beard cut square at mustache length.. if you cover it with your hand. Old men are totally awesome, so... good luck!

Kind of getting the impression that PC challenges are a good opportunity to just have fun.

LoTekK

Looking forward to this guy's development, dude, woot! I wonder if a hooked/crooked nose would work a bit better than the bulbous one you've got going at the moment. Love the facial hair connection, though, as vrav pointed out. Make 'em really bushy, like epic bushy.

Slammin!

t4paN

Nah, I think the nose fits the floppy ears right now. Works for the silly and fun direction imo.

Emil Mujanovic

Thanks for the comments, guys.
The eyebrows weren't meant to connect wit the beard, haha. I guess it kinda looks that way from the quick sketch. I just didn't get around to polishing any particular area just because i'm keeping the concept loose until I'm confident with the direction.

Teck, I'll give the hooked/crooked nose a go in the sculpt as I'll get a better feeling for it once it's in 3D

Small update:


Base mesh next, then refining the concept a little more and then finally busting out the sculpt.

Emil Mujanovic

Was playing with the head a little more.
(That's what she said!)

ralusek

why look any further for Blizzard than Blizzard? thought you might like that as a reference

Emil Mujanovic

Haha! Thanks for the ref. A few similarities there.

duncan

Hay man kick ass. I saw some of your other 2D sketches the other day. They were freaking awesome!

I am really digging this little guy my only suggestion at the moment would be some crazy ice blue eyes.





Keep going man............. I am watching you.

LoTekK

The padded staff: YES.

The face is coming along very nicely, though how bout biasing the color scheme to something much cooler? Maybe keep some red, in the cheeks, for example, but overall give his skin a much colder, deader cast to it?

DrunkShaman

@Emil, I didnt know you were a blizz fanboy..O.O

Anyways nice sketch! On with the Gnome reference <.< Keep it up!

Belltann

skintightgrampasuit and beard-to-eyebrow-hairage. The checklist is complete, looking good.

Cody

Pure yes. Love the random hilarity factor. Grandpa's about to throw down.

Emil Mujanovic

Just so you know I'm not dead and I am still working on this:

Some progression on the concept (I need to decide how to attack the knee and elbow pads)


Some progression on the sculpt (using a modified Arsh basemesh)

leslievdb

really like where this is going

great job on the face so far

Belltann

Great progress mate. Nice character.

cw

nice start you made, i look forward to more updates!

duncan

Hay man looking ace as, great work.

The only prob I see is that the feet look a little too turned out. Other than that I think he is looking super slick. Keen to see some more please.
