[FIGHTER] Solis, Groove on Fight, Jarrede

jarrede

Okay, I'ma try and do a version of Solis from groove on fight, but, instead of her joining up with the police academy and taking a time machine by accident to the wrong year, she ends up joining up with a gang of mercs, and highjacks the time machine.

So, Please forgive my crappy concept, it's clearly not one of my strong points, but, gets most of the idea across:



Still unsure about the helmet and boots, I really liked in the original she had these big metal clogs that she would kick you with, I was also thinking she could have like coil type wires coming out of the back of her helmet with metal spikes attached to the ends, she could then stick you with them and then pass an electric current through her opponent. Her iron fist should be a bit more prominent too...

I don't know, what do you guys think? Comments and Crits are welcome!

jarrede

an early head wire, she's been in and out of zbrush, still some tweaks to go but for now I think I'll work on getting the rest of the body ready for zbrush

Jigsaw

Sweet! Definitely not a character I would've expected to show up in this contest.

Yeah it was an old game that only got released on Sega Saturn back in the day,

attached, a rough body I think is close, still need to tweak the hip and lower torso area, The hair, is probably going to go, but I want her to be able to take her helmet off and not look crappy, maybe this just won't work...



Oh, and the hand, needs to be in a more relaxed pose.

jarrede

Almost ready for zbrush, I think I'm going to finish the rest of the polymodeling in 3ds, and go with a closed helmet type.

jarrede

some quick blockouts in zbrush, think I'm going to wipe all the noise on her top and start over...

jarrede

still lots of work to do, starting thinking of more of a futuristic tank girl look, need to stop noodling and fix the damn knees and arms.

would really welcome some crits

jarrede

a quick paintover and some sculpting changes... I'm starting to think the idea is fuckin stupid, nobody knows this damn character! but I guess I'll finish it anyway. :P

jarrede

butt salad and poop butter.

Jigsaw

Hang in there, man. If noone were making obscure characters the contest would be nothing but Scorpions, Links and Cammys. At the very least I'm looking forward to seeing you finish Solis.

Thanks dude! by no means do I expect to win, so many great artists here just finishing would be awesome, holy crap it's like a marathon.

It's good to know someones taken interest, I will most definitely finish her

seth.

yeah keep at it mister, I think that the face is killer, you might be better off going back into your 3D app though and setting up the lacing and stitches as seperate subtools, they will read a lot cleaner that way and make your life easier on the sculpting front.

thats actually a good idea, would look a lot better, the smaller ones I may leave, but the big ones I can see changing.

thanks for the advice dude! Much appreciated.

Bigjohn

I say make her bare breasted. Might as well go all out.

jarrede

looks much better with laces separate

editpolygon

I like how the design of her helmet allows the visor to be slid up. Make sure you show off her face in the glamor shots when this is all said and done!

Most definitely Her visor comes up when she's not brawling It will slide along the grooves in her helmet.

just for you john, okay and me too, but nah her breasts will be covered.

jarrede

changing the backpack to something more appropriate, need to finish holster, gun, knives, and shes almost sculpted...

thanks for the comments dudes!

Hellstern

Nice tits)
How about giving her hands a bit of volume by adding some armor parts? (looks good on a concept)

lol, thanks Yeah, armor parts, now you got me thinking she should have some big metal glove of some kind

Gazington

Nice piece of work you have going here. I'm not familiar with the character but I like this design and your execution. Good loops on the head mesh as well. The piece as a whole is starting to remind me of The Fifth Element for some reason, seems to be quite Gaultier-ish if that makes any sense.

Jigsaw

This is coming along nicely! I really like the face sculpt.

sp0nge

Definitely stick with this! she looks really cool, nice original idea for the restyling and always prefer obscure characters to the mainstream proportions are looking good and the sculpt is awesome! I agree with Hellstern: some armoured flaps on the hands, like your concept, will tie the area in nice and add some interest in the silhouette. I'll keep an eye on this one :P

jarrede

@ Gazington; Thanks dude! I hope to maintain the head mesh loops when I retopo And I'm a big fan of the fith element

@ Jigsaw; Much appreciated! I'm thinking the face and skin parts will have most color and saturation from the skin, while the suit is battered and dark. Maybe give her a scar or ban-aid on her chin where her helmet doesn't cover. ???

@Sp0nge; Cool man! I really really wanted to do a couple other more popular characters, but don't regret going with Solis. I'm most definitely going with Hellsterns idea and am working on an armored glove of some kind to add more mass around her hands.

Thanks for the comments dudes!

jarrede

gave her some brawling gloves

jarrede

Since she is the fucking master at the flying knee, I was thinking of a pose, similar to this one...And those gloves? are so she doesn't break her hand on your f-in FACE!
