[FIGHTER] Li-Long, Soul Blade 2

WillMac

banter banter. :poly125:

RIP Clemente Sauve... a big inspiration to my art.

Ideas board with James Hewitt, Clemente Sauve, Afro Samurai, Turtles... that kinda look But in a future military way, like Metal Gear or Ghost in the Shell....future li-long... need to sketch.

ViktorSan

My favorite character of the saga... paying great attention to this thread!!!

XenoKratios

OH MAN, YES!

WillMac

Thanks.. can never lose with Li-Long in the five!

Okay, i did a session on Li-Long. I think he look okay so far, still a bit to touch up and the "sports/martial arts mech" suit needs sketching/exploring in 3d more, for function. Here:

EDITED DUE TO CRITS... thanks chaps!




I will now try and learn a lot from the other 3d artists here.

RMBT

Love the arms. Think they'll look great in 3D!

Tyrone70

The arms look awesome, but the size of his head is a little weird to me. I know it's stylized, but man that's tiny.
Also, and this is just me being a geek, I don't think they ever made Soul Blade 2 (*tear*). I think Soul Calibur was the next on in the series.

WillMac

Thanks guys!

@ RMBT, cheers i hope so, will try to get some nice hard surface details... promise.

@Tyrone... i hear ya.. I reigned it in slighty... i find pin head to be a cool look for this spring. ALSO.. .you out geeked me.. yes, is soul calibre! Was a long time ago.

@Dustin - thanks dude, your site been in my inspirations folder for a while now, i really dig your work! I did what you said... i come from comic scribblings been painting year and half and am desperately studying anatomy, i did study genetics once which had a lotta anatomy.

Here... am now gonna dress him... and do the technical scribbles... then i will build it. Trademark polycount appendage at some part of development...

circle of friends

Very nice, very original.

Heavyj

Wow, that concept is sweet, way to push it up and over the top. One crit, and I know it's just an early anatomy study, in your ortho ref there it looks like his arse is way low from the side view, it kind of makes him look like he has 2 lower backs if that makes any sense, though all that could just be the stylized way your going about things. Can't wait to see some 3D.

WillMac

@ Circle of Friend .. :thumbup: Thanks, I try...

@ HeavyJ... I get what you saying... will bear it in mind during the sculpt.

Here are the Clothed Orthos, maybe add some Sauve style "pack addictions" later if triangles are free... and some back up normal nun chucks... "for close encounters" or power failure.



Okay, onto the next bit...

BTW... the bit sticking out the back of the boot is the back of the mech suit... it will encase the trainers to support the wieght.. bah, more soon.
