[FIGHTER] Soul Calibur - Cervantes - Gazington
Hello.
My first post here and I'd just like to say what a great tournament this is and I'm seriously looking forward to drooling over the great work to come.
I would like to do Sagat from the Street Fighter games (among others) and I think I may do him in a Napoleonic era style with a monocle and one of those big hats.

Right, I made a bit of a mistake and after a weekend of consideration (and playing Bad Company 2) I've decided to swap to doing Cervantes from the Soul games (sorry about that). So could an admin change the thread title to
[FIGHTER] Soul Calibur - Cervantes - Gazington
Sorry for the fuss.
So far all I've done is a quick proportion blockout for the main bulk and a quick speed sculpt for the head, just to get going mainly.
I'll probably do a few draw overs in place of a fully rendered concept. I still want to give him a period costume sort of Duke of Wellington / Master and Commander style.
Been looking at the stuff on Creature Box and the Ratchet and Clank games for inspiration.

C&C always welcome.
Next I think I'll concept his two sabres and facial hair then onto an initial 3D sketch / block out.
C&C welcome.
cool start,like previously said,..make sure you have some key parts like on the original,..otherwise it might start feeling like a new character altogether
i think you can totally make this work if you change up the proportions to feel more like Sagat.
keeping my eye out for this one
The dude is supposed to be Cervantes from Soul Calibur, I had a bit of a rethink after my first post but don't know how to change the thread title. Err, does anyone know how to do that? My bad.
He's got these really big, fun features in the face but then his clothing is all normal and very clean. I think if you spice up the silhouette a little bit more (maybe some big cuffs, adornments and the like) you could get something really interesting.
What are you thinking as far as the weapons go?
I'm back and ready to get a move on. Just a quick update.
Started the base meshes and blocking out the basic forms as well as rough approximations of his swords. I think the main one will be a sabre and his off hand will have a parrying dagger. Although in the game he has a gun/sword combo thing and I may do some sort of flintlock type instead. I'll push on with the bases and try to get everything into ZBrush asap.
Also I've included a picture of Stephen Fry from Blackadder to give a better idea of the look I'm aiming for.
C&C welcome

Made some progress on the sculpt. Started the base body costume and have been working up from there. A lot of the things in the grab are base mesh or place holder as I tend to swap them out as I go along. Going to concentrate on his jacket for the time being as this has the most details so I want to get that down soonish. Then onto overall detailing and his weapons. Hopefully things will move faster from now on.
C&C welcome

Quick update.
Firstly I'll get the thread title changed as I think it's understandably causing some confusion.
Made some progress with the bits and bobs, next up will be-
Jacket creases
Redo the crest on the sash ribbon
Shirt collar and ruff area
Chest plate under the chin
Hat details (may add some sort of plume as this might look good as he moves)
Rat tail style pony tail
Seams and stitching on all clothing as needed
Then onto his weapons and a boat load of polishing
C&C welcome

he needs a fellow horse)
Thanks to Geezus for changing the thread title (you are a gentleman sir) and thanks to all who commented. Sorry Hellstern he ate the horse. Free-Willy, it's the breakneck pace you set, I just can't keep up
Not much of an update I'm afraid so I think I'm going to call a temp halt on the sculpting and get on with the low poly, then return to ZBrush with hopefully a better perspective. Some things I know I want to change are around the neck and some extra detailing on his lower half. The feather is only temp as I want to experiment with different types (peacock maybe). Also I want to sneak his weapons in there at some point as well.
C&C welcome

Small update.
Added his weapons, sabre with a scabbard and a bayonet. Also added some edits to his neck area as well as some general touch ups. Next up will be the low poly mesh.
C&C welcome
