Comic Con 2011 | Japanese Batman

Andreas

Since I don't have a 'new thread' button on Game Artisans yet (must be a minimum 5 posts or something), I'll just have to start the thread here.

Style sheet.



Concepts soon.

Good luck buddy ! But why comicon challenge wasn't announced in polycount news ?

JAPA-WHAT!?

japanese batman sounds pretty cool actually.

Definitely a cool idea, I will keep my eye on this one.

Here's Japanese Spidey for some more inspiration.

Mask_Salesman

Great idea, the B-Man's always cool.

On a side note why does Spiderman have a Zoid? lol..

Joker_47

Funny video i guess this spidey should fight against godzilla.

Permafrost

What is with the japanese and zoids???

But on subject, I can't wait to see your progress on this as it seems very interesting.

Under Submission Guidelines, it has all the info and links you need to start a thread there.

The GA comps use a verification system to approve new entries that requires manually approving new entries to cut down on spam. This means that if you enter, your entry won't show up until a moderator or admin approves you. They usually do approvals in batches, so it may take them some time to get to yours.

This isn't DOA, I promise. My concept drawings are just way too bad to post. I've modelled his Noh mask mostly, will post soon. In the meantime, have a flower. Drawn in Flash, will be used for his tattoos. Will be altered and stamped all over his body.

a bit more shading on the leaves perhaps?
why did you draw it in flash?

I was scratching my head on this one too.

don't think tattoos are suitable, tbh, they carry a negative meaning in japan and are often associated with criminals.

Why not? Vectors are scalable, and it's the only vector program I know, coming from an animation background.

He's ex-yakuza Plus having him covered in tattoos will make for a more visually interesting final piece hopefully. Also, the Japanese are coming around to the ideas of tattoos cause of western visitors.

Still working on this, when I have the time. Finished the sword high-poly.



Here's how I went about modelling the pleats

ehm adobe illustrator or corel draw can do SVGs afaik. flash has just not that many functions for drawing i think.... but why do you want SVGs at all? you cant do shading and those nice things with vectors :P

I don't know Illustrator. But I do know Flash. Japanese tattoos are quite graphic as well, so less shading is used. Some is, in fairness, and that's represented in the petals of the flower. Didnt use gradients on the leaves in an effort to make the petals 'pop'.

I'm running behind on this, modelling the base mesh took so long, but here is a blockout finally. Sculpting now. :thumbup:
