I like your sculpt so far ha
keep it up
That statement is awesome.
I look forward to more progress.
SO yeah, very cool idea.
Give him some tatoos. Like a mushroom tattoo, or a flower of somekind?
Tattoo sounds sweet Jacque!
Thanks V-Max, but I was realy unhappy about the anatomy. It just makes no sense for a seemingly older person to look that 'taught' and 'ripped'. Managed to grab some time to make him look more like MAN's man instead of a D&G model.
Some pro quality zbrush Dreamer, but i can't help but feel there's not enough "style" for a mario character, hope you don't mind a paint over.
Just puffed up his hat a bit and legnthend his face. Bit of slimming on the body too.
Much appreciated for the paintover Crazy. I really like some elements of it, but I really want to push for a realism. I think with the correct execution I could pull it off without having to fall back on stylising him (plus I dont think i would be interested enough in a stylised version to actually finish it).
I think your right about subtlties like the general hat shape and pulling in the hair and side burns though.
Thanks so much for the feedback nonetheless. Its given me a lot to think about.
I'm having a lot of fun in this competition ^ _ ^
Feels like I'm playing with the superstars with all these super awesome crazy threads! Everybody's inspiring me so much!!
edit-- *just realized I didn't fix the shoulder crits SimonT gave me yet
Don't you get the flamboyant impression this fella works at a steal mill... lol ;P
I kid, I kid... I'm sure he'l look respectably heterosexual once you add the polo shirt.
The clothing folds look spot on, and the accessories look great! You're attention to detail keeps getting better and better.
See if you can find ways to realistically incorperate some more elements of the Mario World in there. Star, Fire Flower, Leaf, Mushroom, Gold Coins.
folds are lovely
In my mind at least
The one thing is that i cant help but to agree with crazyfingers and his paintover. I understand your going for straight realism, which is cool, but i think a modest mix of your current model and the paint over would just really bring out the "luigi" in this character while still retaining a strong sense of realism.
Nice sculpting brotha!
Personally, if you're going for realism; I think the anatomy is a little bit too perfect ... Add some variation, reduce some of the well defined muscle form and add some more subtle skin folding and fat. Anatomy wise, his rhomboids are really large and out there, and given his pose; it looks unnatural.
Also, he be lacking some nipples and nipple clamps to accentuate his pronstach.
In any case, great work dude and keep rocking!
I think my next update will probably be the finished sculpt where I've addressed all the issues you guys have brought up. Until then just showing one more piece of fundamental plumbing equipment
What would make him the most epic badass Luigi of all time:
I love hoe much better this is from your last character. Lovely
I wish I had more time to address everything on the sculpt that I'm not really a fan of, but with only NINE DAYS LEFT I gotta get this low poly/texture donnnnne. Good luck with all your entries guys, we're almost out of time!!!
p.s.
MAKE THE GAMEBOY BIGGER!!!
He could also use a way bigger wrench to hold in his arms for the final shot. And some Nintendo themed tattoo on his left arm would probably be cool.
Anyway, I love what I see so far.
keep it up
rushhhingggg the UVssss nowwwwww.
NoTimeToGetTheGiantWrenchIn. JustGonnaLeaveThatForFolioScreenshots
ZOMG NEED FLUX CAPACITORRRRR
I'll post my finished model over the next two weeks in P+P
Good luck to everyone who can stick to that super duper hardcore deadline! ^ _ ^
Alright, I kid. Sad news, but as long as you finish it I guess teh polycounts stay happy:) definitely looking froward to it in P&P.
