new ish poster!

I saw this Brawl tournament, and I had some ideas and the need to practise, so here I am, making a post!

Originally I was thinking, Kazuya or Kazama, favourites of mine; but then I remembered King and thought of an idea I thought might be pretty fun. I didn't see him when I looked though the threads yet ;p

This is the a design for the character from Tekken 2 I believe

Here's my mood board and concepts so far, not too sure which direction to take it in but initially I was thinking of a mickey rourke kind of vibe or a trainee-wrestler kind of thing

comments always welcome here!

I like where you're going with this one. The animal gloves are awesome!

LRoy

hey i was waiting for a king. i think you could do more with the redesign though. seems like more of a costume change.

EtotheRic

The hat looks pretty funny. It'd be fun to see an angry looking dude covered in cutesy animal garb.

Alternately you could go with a crazy mascot costume.

I'm surprised it wasn't already taken =]

the design isn't totally set for now but I hope to avoid costume change lookery!

Lovely hat on the first concept. I like the way how you turn this character.

IridionSnake

trying to get the shape right

I did try doing the face bust area in zbrush already but it went horribly! I looked at some pics after and I think I'm getting the shape wrong, especially with the nose, I was making it so the nose is too big compare to the rest of the face

I will try again but armed with some ref pics next time, I'll document my next attempt maybe for an example of a bad zbrush head ;p

Buckster

cool idea. I would definetly go for the gap and volume change around the waist pants area that looks so awesome in the concept.

Cheers

EtotheRic

Looking good. Much cooler than the creepy original King.

Huh serious?? King doesn't even usually have a face so it's a bit more than a costume change.


I think this whole thread is ace, defs gonna be watching out for this when it's done

circle of friends

King is the coolest, looking good so far! Reminds me a little of Where The Wild Things Are.

=]!



I'm working some long days tomorrow and day after and earlier today, poop! But I did some small work on my character here before bed

need to work on the proportions as its a bit joe average and less like the concept atm

screen is now from zbrush, I copied the base across from 3ds Max and edited it a bit

I made the arms and body different polygroups so I can select and edit the torso without moving the arms and vice versa really easily, never knew how to use that feautre before, makes it much easier esp around the armpits!

@Buckster
noted ;p

IridionSnake

playing around with the proportions and stuff, hm, not sure how to appreach the hat, when I put on the hat and braces earlier he looks like a lumberjack! slicked back placeholder hair ;p

Silhouette is looking great. I love where you're going with the face. Nice, broad proportions. I know it's still in blockout, but the wrinklies and creases in the legs seem a bit unnatural right now. Instead of weighty folds it seems like there's almost padding underneath making them puff out. Otherwise this is awesome lol.

IridionSnake

oh I see what you mean, I hope this is a bit better! also wonder if I should do something like this on the right with the trousers, too wallace and gromit-ey? =p added some more volume int he trousers in the middle compared to the orignal of the left to try it out

Well, it is a light-hearted design. Not sure if that's what you were going for or not, seems like it was. So good job on that. And yeah, I like the one on the right. He's basically like a mascot.

Gallows

Did you ever think about working with a pair of shorts? I mean when I think of giant cats I think the design would be pretty quick and agile. But overall I still dig all of your concepts, just a thought.

Shorts over the mascot trousers might be an idea, though I like having the legs big, seems nice to have them looking bulky like this because they seem strong and stable to look at, but at the same time they are just a light cosstume over the top so he can kick and move quite fast ;p PLus them you get when the upper body goes into them.

I keep looking back to the concept though and I think it's got something the 3d model has yet to capture so thats somehing I want to look at

edit; heres my last edit for today, changed the face, and having a hard time with the back part, adding it in to make it clear its half of a moscot suit and for a bit more detail but it's hard to visualise how it would fall, seems like its made of another material than the bottom half too ;x

progress

more changes and experimenting, image order goes from top left [based on an update of the mascot image, but later in the timeline when the character has used the idea beginnings as a base and developed it into a full costume], to bottom right

some armour king influence in there
