@srosario1 thanks srosario! the eyes are based on a japanese snow monkey relaxing in a sauna ^^
@malcom I think for any kind of monkey it's kind of required to do a staff haha, but I'm not sure yet. possible a giant sword.
@sketchicorner thank you !
@JoseTijerin haha, thank you for the kind compliment. I shall submit just the arms now after posing them attacking. ^^
finally back from my xmax holidays, and am back to work.
did some quick fingers which are currently more orangutan in length, but I think I'll shorten them to be chimp length as they feel too long.
Sculpted a creepy smiling mask I might use for the shoulder. tempted to give him a banana moustache.. so we'll see how that turns out tomorrow.
going to start modeling some assets tomorrow as well to bring in to sculpt. added horns.
i did some design sketches, and scoured pinterest for inspiration and ended up coming up with some pretty interesting ideas, so I'm excited to block them all in and get them in there to see how they work together.
alright finished some quick block ins. decided I'm going to be giving him a kanabō. because there's nothing "like giving a kanabō to an oni". that, and it's still kind of staff-like without being a staff... He's also got a bit of a samurai vibe.. so some place-holder katanas are there for the moment.
Thoughts on the hat on/vs off? What's everyone's preference, as I can't decide.
K I know I'm biased, but I'm loving his backpack... I want one in real life please.
hereby dubbed the "chunky monkey pouch" Every pocket is most likely filled with an assortment of bananas. @malcom alrighty thanks. I think I agree... now it's just a matter of making it work with his horns. I think I'll also have to pose him with his head angled upwards so that the light hits it.
done for the day. added a bunch of assets, polished some designs. thought I'd be back in Zbrush today, but ended up pushing some shapes a lot more. I'll finish up the sandals quick tomorrow, then jump back to Z to finish up the arm/feet anatomy, add hair/fur finally, adjust horn length, and possible sculpt a whole new mask for his belly, because I just don't like how the tengu mask turned out. busy day ahead! hope you like his direction.
