Chin from King of Fighters



So heres my characters back story.

A little over a hundred years ago an old Drunken Fists Master named Chin Gentsai immigrated to America and finally met up and befriended another cranky old man named Chet who was headed off to California for the famous California Gold Rush of 1849. These two men decided to make this journey together in search of Wealth and plenty of Booz! The two old geezers became close friends, and as time went on Chet taught Chin how to mine for gold in the Golden State of California. In exchange for Chets schooling of gold mining Chin taught Chet everything he knew about the ancient fighting style of Drunken Fist. Now Chet and Chin are a almost unstoppable duo that Mine for Gold all day then go and get drunk until they can't even stand up straight.

No, but really, that's cool. I was really pumped about your original choice seeing as it'd be a fun little spin, but it would be kind of tough to be excited about all the time unless you made him really silly.

Your new direction looks like it'll be a challenge. Can't wait to see some rough stuff to see where you take it.

suburbbum:

Thanks man for the encouragement, I was feeling pretty dooshy about changing my direction.

mxdirector

I liked your original concept, but seeing your inspiration I think you really could top it with this new chun li design. Looking froward to your updates.

i liked how prospector chin was coming.

Dan!

i concur.

onelunglewis

Ya so last night i was really thinking about my design and just wasn't feeling it. I was having a hard time getting pumped up about Chin. I never have played King of Fighters and was picking someone who I thought was the coolest non street fighter character. Street Fighter was the only fighter besides an occasional Mortal Kombat I played when I was a kid. I stayed up late just trying to figure out a different direction with no success. Until this morning! I woke up and had an idea that I was super pumped about.

I have changed my direction and I am now going to do a Mai from Street Fighter But in the style of Hajime Sorayama. He was a huge inspiration to me when I was young and it will give me a chance to stretch my self by doing a chick.

JR

Man, that Chin on the first post is HOT! I liked the concept, a transformist Chin, making cosplay of Mai Shiranui. Very creative!

Jokes aside, I'd prefer if you insisted a bit more with Chin. I think that the world of CG, and enterteinment industry in general, is already satured of hot half naked chicks. Even if you transform her in a robot. Chin is a much more interesting and original char.. an old and drunken fighting master, that lives layed on the China streets.

Anyway, I think that you have to do what works best for you. And if you think you'll have more fun doing Mai's redesign, then, go for it. After, we're all here because of the fun! Good luck, man.

onelunglewis

Man, Everybody is talking about how they liked my Chin Character, I really feel like a doosh flip floppin back and forth.

onelunglewis

I feel like i need to apologize to the 1 or 2 people that actually are reading my thread, sorry about my wishy washiness. I guess I got caught up with all the big dogs doing chicks and felt like I was being left behind, when my original Chin idea was pretty original.

I'm going to go stick with Chin and pull it through. I need to go back and really flush out my sketches before going into 3D. Thanks guys for your input.

JR

Yeah! Chin is back!!!!
Don't be so impressed with hot chicks. One day they'll become old. And her breasts will fall. Personality is what really matters!

onelunglewis

Did a quick sketch to get me back on track and my ideas out of my head.

Maph

That is awesome. I've got a feeling this is gonna be great when finished.

onelunglewis

Here todays progress, worked on the figure some more. Experimenting with expressions.

Jigsaw

Loving it! Glad you decided to stick with your original idea, it's shaping up real nice.

AKAperly

good call.

Dan!

glad you stuck with it- sculpt is coming along nice.

Turret

Great idea and good progress so far.

Daven

Horray! The prospector will be glorious!

I'm actually really glad you stuck with this. Good luck man

WillMac

Hey up Onelunglweis... just dropping in saying i been watching, i like that you sticking with your instincts... trust them. I also liked them new sci-fi references you had (great painter, not seen him) you should try do another project later like that maybe.

This sculpt is looking so full of character so far.

onelunglewis

Jigsaw: Thanks man!
AKAperly: Thanks
Dan!: Thanks, it's good to have confirmation from you guys.
Turret: Thank you.
Suburbbum: Thank you as always for your encouragement!
WillMac: Thanks so much, ya he is awesome.

mxdirector

I believe you could inflat the nostrils a bit, they look a little flat and squashed from the front. Other then that, it's looking good.

onelunglewis

Good call mxdirector didn't even notice they were totally flat, thanks.

onelunglewis

was able to block out the base geo for the pants and suspenders. Worked on the face and hat a little as well.

Maph

Oh my, this is coming along great!

illusion

Awesome progress! Like his face.

I think both characters was good. Girl was beautiful and sexy, this guy is charismatic and funny. I'm sure with your artistic skills you might make great piece of art no matter what you will choose

onelunglewis

I was able to get a first pass at the pants before heading off to work, I'm trying to give my guys clothing a slight angular stylized feel.

JacqueChoi

Love the expressiveness you have going on.

For some reason (not sure if this is your style), but I think this would benefit greatly from some 'pinched' stylization in the Zbrush.

onelunglewis

Trying to work in a more stylized look. I think it will help make my skinny old man more unique to compete with the awesome mechs and chicks with big boobs.

thanks JacqueChoi i had only planned keeping the stylized to the clothes but like the new direction.

Buckster

Damn dude, I am really diggin' this. I would love to see more asymmetric details on the pants but that is just me.
You make sweet love to those polys man, I envy you.

gaganjain

Jackson ur fast....
love it so far

Ziggy

Awesome sculpt dude!

onelunglewis

Did a first pass at stylizing the pants before work. Some of the lines are a bit wavy, and will need to be loved on a bit, but overall I'm sure now that it is the direction I want to go. Thanks guys for the input.

akacg

This looks like its comin alone pretty well
keep it up

onelunglewis

Was able to black in the base for the boots. Also pushed the silhouette of the legs some more. Also added a simple belt and made the pants a little more asymmetrical.

RMBT

The model looks great! That is one old geaser you don't want to mess around with.

Sebeuroc

This is looking fantastic. I love your sculpting style!

onelunglewis

Didn't like my boots much, chunked them in the trash. Wanted to go back and do the feet because Chin from King of Fighters has one shoe busted and his toes are popping out. I'm gonna have one of his boots busted with his big old harry toes hanging out the end.

I also tweaked the legs some more. I made him a little bowlegged and pigeoned toed.

onelunglewis

First pass at the boots. Hopefully I can get some socks on him tomorrow.
