[FIGHTER] Mortal Kombat, SubZero, PBarbalios

PBarbalios

This is my first time posting on Polycount...so be gentle

Being that Mortal Kombat is my first love, I couldn't help but pick SubZero; but now that I look at the fourms, I see so many other submissions that I'm a little intimidated...ah but what the hell.


Here's my process work from Alchemy to Photoshop:


Then, I sketched over my silhouette:

My idea is to draw away from the hardcore-Ninja look that he's known for and try something a little different, and come up with a small "backstory:"

-Younger
-Look of a "Rocker"
-Has some form of demonic powers; encases parts of his body in ice
-Cool breath from his mouth makes a shrowd around his neck that flows from his shoulders
-Ice-tail from his head makes for a fun-stabby-weapon
-The more he uses his powers, the more it takes a toll on his body, until there's nothing left

The things I will stay true to with his design are the main themes of frost/mist, ice, and the colors & patters of his outfit from "Deception," minus the pimp-fur. I welcome all critique & suggestions, because this is deffinetly a learning process for me.

Here's is where I'll post more up-to date concept art, I'm working on spiffying up his clothing too, and making the dragon designs in his armor (from the original design) as tattoo sleeves.

hell yeah penny. are you going for a more realistic feel for this or are you going to keep it stylized?

Lovin' it Penny. He reads Ice Man from X-men at first, but I think once you get the color pass in, it will read correctly.

PBarbalios

Thanks Max I love where your Yoshimitsu is going btw. I'm going to kind of stay within my comfort-zone & keep it stylized, like when I did "Clause" for Portfolio:


I may push the proportions even more, like Cheeks-74 on deviantArt. Updates soon!

Daven

YO! Needs moar updates

RMBT

The concept looks awesome. This should be good.

PBarbalios

I'm going to try & update today. Been hella busy with work, so when I'm not painting for work, I'm sleeping, lol.
Thankyou, by the way

PBarbalios

Finally began some modeling-progress. I'm just blocking out how I want the proportions to be, then I'll probably wind up doing a quick paint over, ontop of my renders to make sure I have a definite concept.
