[FIGHTER] Soul Calibur, NIGHTMARE, slipgatecentral
polycounter lvl 13
Nightmare is one of my favorite fighting characters of all time. Gonna make him with a little sci-fi twist. Who knows it might go too far and turn into something completely different. Don't feel like making a chick this time.

As soon as I saw the title I thought 'Hard surface sci-fi twist incoming!' :P
So, what makes Nightmare a Nightmare? Despite some drastic changes to design that occured to him with each new sequel, there's always a few key features that remained almost untouched. Here
so could I try to replace those by some tech shit?
On serious note, I'm leaning toward more iconic and clean design (from 2nd game I believe), the top-left, because latest one from SC4 little messy and whole mid-section is missing, which I find disturbing
At this point I dont even know should I bother concepting, it's all right here, minor changes to silhouette and plate pieces to make him look more mech/robotic
Dude I challenge Cyber Nightmare to a duel with Cyber Chun Li when we are finished. Pose them up in a old school Mortal Kombat versus fighting Stance!!
I mean this:
It looks cool in game, but I'd like to avoid this level of complexity. Though I fucking love the toes!!!
Disturbing in a non-nightmarish way?
I am really looking forward to what you do with it, I expect nothing short of spectacular!
Also, interesting profile pics you and FirstKeeper have.
Looks great
Good luck!
this is already going far from original shape..hmm
but, this is just a sketch, more changes to come, done for tonight
Not a big fan of the mouthpiece to be honest, takes away too much focus from the spike on his forehead.
The back could maybe use some more orange accents as well.
Keep rocking!
A question though, what is the purpose for a blockout? Is for you to get a basic idea of what you're going to do, or are you going to use this as a base mesh for sculpting?
Just trying to an idea what a pro's workflow is
Also where's your penis avatar? lol
This is not a basemesh though, blockout is to distribute masses, get some cool dynamic shapes and most important silhouette.
looks fantastic, you putting fear into other brawlers!
my quick rough blockouts look like cubes =(
But I think you need to push the silhouette more. It's kind of same-y in terms of diameter and thickness changes. I like it a lot, and see a lot of promise, and I'm sure you are planning to massage it more before committing to the final model, but I just want to add a +1 to pushing it to be more dynamic. I think the legs from front and side in particular (though those feet are rockin) and the assymetry of the shoulders, plus the profile width of the chest vs stomach.
Very cool still.
+1
UNLess.. we evolve... i mean, how hard can this be?
Shit hot slipgate! raise the bar... cannot wait.
So...I'll keep up with my mindless praising :P Go go go!
it might be cool if you pushed the hand shapes even further in the direction of a giant shield silhouette.
Great silhouette n stuff
