ART WAR | 3D | Gustaf | rui_pereira

[rui_pereira]

Hi everyone!

I chose to do a Sci Fi character to train my skills in that department. Of course I want to win but my focus is to learn too. I´m open to your sugestions and critiques and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I hope everyone learns a lot with this competition and may the best artist win

At this point I´m still defining the silhuette and some major forms. The idea behind my character is the name of a cannon built by germany in WW2 named Gustav. At the time it was the biggest weapon ever built. Since I´m fighting the Fantasy crowd it is best to bring the big guns! Ah ah

Add me so I can add you back

As it is now:

[rui_pereira]

New approach... Still thinking about the canon but trying to think more in the design and finishing this piece... Mainly doing clean extractions and then zremeshing. I´m still sending everything to 3ds Max to model the details...

[rui_pereira]

This is where I´m at... Still trying to define the helmet and his position, which it feel a little bit awkward as it is right now...

Worked a bit on his face, still a long way to go...

Last update before bed...

You Design in 3D? looking very interesting

[rui_pereira]

I´m following a few references, but I´m creating the design as I go along. It´s not comming from the top of my head, I´m just mixing shapes that make sense to me

[ade2004]

Interesting shapes, are you abandoning the first armor sculpt you posted? or are you later on incorporating some elements from it?

[rui_pereira]

I´m still thinking about it... The truth is that that kind of model would take large amounts of time to model. My references are moebius for this second attempt, so the shapes are a little bit more simplified, but at the same time a think that they are more elegant too, less bulky.

I want to finish this character so I´m managing the time to model, retopologyse, texture it and have it ready on the end of the competition. It´s easy to start but dificult to end

Sorry for the lenghty response

[maxloegler]

like the face, reminds me of anthony hopkins as hannibal.

[rui_pereira]

Not thinking about Sir Hopkins, but you have a point

[rui_pereira]

Still sorting out things...

[rui_pereira]

New helmet, more experimentations...

[rui_pereira]

Playing with the shapes of the helmet... Refining a bit though...
