24 hour Game Art Jam-WIP-Gladiator vs Hydra

seanpetitt

This is a WIP Group Project that 4 other friends of mine will be working on one scene of a Gladiator fighting a Hydra. We will be tackling this roughly around 24 hours in my (at the moment) really warm room.

What is our project?
A Gladiator fighting a Hydra.

What will be the end result?
In the end we want these static meshes posed in action with an environment piece (much like a diorama) in UDK.

Here is a few of many pictures we have for reference/concept to give everyone a feel of what we are doing.

Current roles that are subject to change when needed for the sake of the project:

Sean(me) = Gladiator
Bank = Hydra
Edmund = Environment
Jordan = Environment
Kevin = Environment

Please Critique and/or Suggestions!

I am did the concept for the gladiator in the corner, and the zspheres of the Hydra was made by Bank:


Edmund has made this so we get a feel for the digital illustration:

Using the basic meshes to pose the characters in one of the possible poses. We were thinking the Gladiator would be stabbing one of the Hydra's head as he was riding on it. One of the duplicated meshes was set for scale references to the arch ways. All posed via Zbrush, (rigged the Hydra, but zbrush was much easier and quicker)

progress update.
currently: retopo
next: fix quad consistency and duplicate heads for variations
beyond: horns as separate sub-tool and 2nd level of detail sculpt

Looks interesting. Do you guys all go to school together or something? If so I'm guessing Academy of Art in San Fran?

Thanks for the luck! We need it. We're getting exhausted.

What the clothing would look like on it so far:


Retopo WIP:



So ends the 24 hours, but we will be continuing to update the models via this thread. We learned a lot sitting next to each as we worked. Now we will work on them on our own time, while still keeping in contact.


If I bulk up the character I will try to bring in the retopo and after that make the clothing.
