[FIGHTER] Samurai Shodown, Genan Shiranui, cox

cox

Time to make time! I'll participate with a futuristic post-apocalyptic cyberpunk version of Genan Shiranui from Samurai Shodown.

Last Update:




Planning to make him with a cybernetic arm and a exoskeleton spine.
my reference chart:


I've started to model the concept, at this start point I'm am adjusting proportions and seeing if his posture works;

ps. head is a placeholder, concept propose only.


crits plz!

Chandler

Oh man, I was a big fan of this guy. Can't wait to see how you're gonna do the claw. The musculature is really well done. In the front picture his fingers seem really long but maybe that's intended, also the spinal ridge is really broad and more like a hump, but I don't really know what you're doing with the exoskeleton thing back there so that might be intended too. :P Keep it up!

Sir-Lucius

I really like that pose; love the aggressive angles. Looking forward to see where you go with him.

Mark Dygert

NICE! I really like the idea and you're off to a good start! It's a little weird seeing a game character posed so early on but hey, why not go for beauty shot right out of the gate?

cox

Ssup guys!

Thanks for the comments.


Chandler: the original character have a hump, so I'm intended to do it.

An update with new head, teeths on the boring T pose;





Sketching some concept for spine implant;


Next step will be a rough retopo of everything toguether (maybe legs and upper part) so I can continue to model (zsphere's mesh kinda sux) and finally break the symetry.

Crits, sugestions plz!

woogity

lookin cool man! liking the base so far!

cox

Update:

I've made retopology in order to unify the torso with head and hands.
Refined it a little bit and started to concept the mechanic arm.





Sugestions and crits are wellcome!

AKAperly

i missed this thread, sculpt is looking great.

Calabi

Really nice sculpt. I think he should have a gun turret or a scorpions tail sticking up from his back.

NuclearWarrior

Nice dude, I almost considered choosing this character. Got a nice Crysis looking tech set up going on.

Bbox85

I hated this guy so much... but you make me love him. Tons of character already! Great job so far

cox

Thanks a lot guys!

Small update...
continuing the arm:



The connection betwen biceps and elbow still lame.. don't worry.

For the arm I will use a workflow similar to one explained by R.Grassetti on his mecha girl. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=078374

So I'll do a rought modeling then recreate it using 3dsmax in order to mechanical parts look more funcional, and not like chewed bubble gum as it looks now.

go go go!

Dan!

nice start man- can't wait to see how that arm turns out.
