    Here are some small update, i started as zsphere and then retopo, just finished his anatomy, kinda like how it turns out, next- nano suit, still not very sure if i want to make the suit, ill try tonight, if it doesnt turn out as i want, i might just come back and finish detail his body and make a regular VEGA with different clothes, mask, and tattoo. :poly141:

    This needs more attention!
    It looks great, his boots look a little funky though.
    They look a little wimpy compared to the rest of the suit.
    I did a quick paint over:

    it needed a little lift at the end of the boot, and the heel felt a little skinny and long.
    BEEF EM' UP!

    great progress so far man.

    Man you work work fast. Definitely has a metal gear feel to it. The cloth could use some work though.
  • Frank_Tzeng

    I did some research on the symbol on his mask..I couldnt find anything!
    Im almost positive it is not a "J" though. I read some things sayings its a sideways heart, the number 7 and a snack bite(mouth). His name originally was going to be "Balrog" before the game moved to America. I dont see a J fitting anywhere haha.

    I think you should stick with the original symbol, and maybe keep it on the mask because the mask is what symbolizes Vega the most. If people see just the front image of his face and not the claw..they wont know its Vega right off the bat. Maybe try putting the symbol on his mask through the diffuse.

    And the model, to say the least is beautiful. Wonderful design for the biosuit.
    As we discussed in class, finish up those boots and rag on his waist!

    Great work!
  • Ikosan
    I always thought that symbol on his mask represented a stylised scar/cut as he wears the mask to save his 'beautiful face' from being cut, i never really read it as a 'j'. maybe thats just me tho :P
  • eCzety
    I love this variation of vega, the detail you got on the armour is really impressive. Keep up !
  • Frank_Tzeng
    @ cordell thanks a lot man for doing the research, ill make sure i put it on his mask somewhere man :)
    @ Ikosan lol, its not just you, i dont really know what was it when i looked at it first, it looked like a "J" to me, but at the same time i cant think of anything related a "J" on him, so maybe its just a cut on his mask, thanks for share you opinion tho.

    @ eCzety thanks a lot man, glad you like it, im doing my best to finish him on time.
  • Frank_Tzeng
    another render with the detail cloth, hope i can finish the low poly tonight :)

  • smiljan66
    Love the face but dude whats up with the cloth you know model well but dont you know model a piece a fabric?

    I like your anatomy but the cabal dude has better understanding of that but you two are my favotes i wish i can join and see each other in ithe final but i knew the contest late.

    best luck for you two
  • Frank_Tzeng
    @ JGcount thanks man, i love your works man, i checked out your website, its pretty sweet, keep up the good works!! :)

    @ Ravenslayer thanks a lot, i just hope the low poly will come out good too, thanks again!

    @ smiljan66 glad you like the face, and ill try to fix the cloth before i make the low poly. i too saw the Kabal one and love his color, thanks for the good luck, i need it :)
  • Frank_Tzeng
    trying to figure out the color that works, im trying to keep the same color that original Vega have but make them works on my nano suit at the same time, was having a hard time on doing it, basically this is what i got so far, dont really have time to think the color, ill make low poly soon.

    WOW Frank!
    I love the colors!!
    Nothing i can really say, the colors JUST WORK! Great detail on the face, very realistic.
    His face is perfect, its not all girly like in the game. He's toughened up more.
    Finish him up and pose him!
    Dont forget the symbol on his mask, thats a big icon for him!

    You should have a pose with him taking his mask off like he does after he wins a battle. (as one of his poses i mean)
  • Frank_Tzeng
    @ cg-sammu thanks a lot man, glad you like my armor and mask, hope i can be as good as you one day :)

    @ Cordell thanks man, took me a while to figure out the color, glad you think its working, btw, i can really pose him as he taking his mask off cuz the mask i design on him will open and close automatically lol hope i have time to do an animation about how the mask open and close in max.
  • Frank_Tzeng
    give his cloth an texture, and detailed the hands, small update of the color, and i rendered one with mask and one with out mask from the same angle of view

    Wow, why didn't I see this one before!
    This is so epic! The only crit I got are below the middle, the silhouet is quite straight there. But I really LOVE the upper part of him.

    damn you!
    keep it up!
  • smiljan66
    Look very cartoony wich is nice for the theme but sincerly that cloth color and texture is not for him it seems like the cloth is not part form his actitude and character you have to fix that if you dont noted it seems not part of the character it can ruin your final composition also i recommend a lot more specular power to be more metallic chrome like but not to mcuh instead that ver glossines look that will improve a lot and make more fun with the intense colours you got there , i must tell this is one of my best choice very creative you have taken vega to a next level more high tech wich i love it , it seems that many members of this contest has made almost the same as the old characters and not put a creatvie and more advanced touch like you and cabal , if i where you i will take that piece of cloth off i know is very difficult to ask becuase i know that type of cloth and high tech is almost impossible to achieve in a incredible look and compensation between the both .
    For the cloth looks like a tie it look too that you want to achieve some chinnese cloth you better look for that types of cloth in google and make the real change and meaby put cuts in the cloth at the end to give more movement instead trying of folding too much ,i know is tuff but man if you want to win becuase the first impression will be ...what about that cloth that looks like a tie and doesent match the character itself?.
    Make that change and i will love your piece even more.
    Very very good work at all but make that change sometimes to been working hours you dont note it but the first impression is the one that counts at the end.
    bets best fo luck my favorite one wiht cabal. :)
  • Frank_Tzeng
    @ Remmers thanks, glad you like him, im totally agree with you, im not really happy about how the legs turn out myself, was going for more muscular like street fighter type....but now i dont really have time to change it :( just trying to finish in time, thanks for stopping by tho.

    @ smiljan thanks a lot man, im happy to hear that you like my VEGA, took me some time to figure out the design and color, about the cloth, i want to keep it red because i dont really want to change the original color, i think this way ppl will think that is more "VEGA", if you look at the original color of VEGA he basically has RED, PURPLE, AND YELLOW, these 3 color are all really saturated and to me it was pretty hard to make all those color work together, but im pretty happy of what i got for now, but really, thanks for your advice, now i dont really think i have time to go back and change stuff, ill make a good pose of him to make up the cloth part. lol

    Holy F@ck this is amazing! I love the idea of Vega being a cyber-ninja too... its almost like he was meant to be designed like this.

    Absolutely gorgeous detail on the mesh and I love the color scheme you've got going there except for the red scarf around his waist. I think it would look a lot better if it were white with a black pattern. Can't wait to see the final!

    Didn't see this one! Looks great, can't find any faults with the current look. Good job :)
  • woogity
    my only crit on this would be that the boots dont seem to match the whole cyber theme, but with the sash i can let that go since that element grounds it a bit more. honestly, love the color choices, and love that you arnt afraid of color. it really makes the areas with less color like the mask pop off the screen, and the orange detailing on the sternomastoid muscles is pretty ace. texture on the face is pretty awesome man, cant wait to see the hair done!


    the softness of the area covering his abs i dont really like compared to the rest, i think it would greatly benefit from having the color there matched to the color of the boots/ knee pads maybe.
  • Frank_Tzeng
    @ TorQue[MoD] thanks glad you like him :)
    @ TortillaChips Thanks man!!
    @ woogity really nice critique man, i feel the same thing just like you, i was going to change the boots cuz i hated a lot, but then i think because of the traditional cloth on him maybe i can just get away with it, and ill definitely try to change the color of his abs thanks again man!!
