Charactere : Kalisto Model

[Pikmin]

I find an incredible model, so I decide today to give it a try . I never model a character that wasnt my concept so its was interesting for me :) .

This one was hard, because I didnt find any front view drawing, just a side view so I just image it. Here where I am in the modeling. Any comment or suggestion are welcome.

[Pikmin]

sorry

[Cyrenn]

No crits, looking super.

Can't wait to see more.

[RodrigoRosa]

nice work so far.... could you post the reference?

keep it up

[Pikmin]

Thx a lot guys.

Here the reference. I hope to continue it with the body.

[Jason-Lavoie]

does this person have a site...

and hey man u work for ubisoft montreal.. very cool man... i wanna work for relic...

but yeah man it looks amazing!

[Pikmin]

This artist is amazing!

Here for is amazing work (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/poulpor/sidhe.htm)

Thx.

Yeah Ubi mtl! Relic seem a really good place to work.

Btw, the face is not finish yet , IT will need some tweaking. Maybe at the end I should tru Zbrush for detail, but I never used it.

[goat]

looking good so far.

[Chokin Hazard™]

wow it looks great. NO critic for now

[Pikmin]

Thx!
A render

[Chokin Hazard™]

lol I was going to ask you for the render....

[chaos_seed]

allways a pleasure too see your work ! Nice start .The ref head look like a real profile to me so maybe you could get the curve of the helmet a bit upper and higher and the redstone a bit elliptic(less round).It's a great work already keep it going that way !!!

PS:Could we get the site of kallisto's art and a wire ?

[Pikmin]

thx.

chaos_seed : You re right, there is a couple of place where I need to polish, its really a pain, its more difficult that a monster or a face, you have to deal with organic and something more round like metal plate . arg!!!
look up for the site of Kalisto, but 3D total just post a link on the front page.

Humm where do they get the link??:o

[<<GhosTS>>]

I really like this..nice start..
Waiting for more updates..

[dhruvsm]

so far so good.......keep it up

[Dridon]

Wow man very very nice. Nice and clean ;). Keep it up, i want to see more of this definatly ;)

[Pikmin]

Update

After some animation work I did some modeling on the charactere.

[SpecterCorp]

there's always got to be one person asking so I guess its me this time....

what method are you using to model that? Poly? nurbs?

[Pikmin]

I always edit poly in max6 and and I start with a single plane , thats its! :)

[Cyrenn]

When you mean single plane. Do you shift drag the planes edge. Like the method used in the Joan of Arc tutorial.

I perfer to model that way as well.

[Pikmin]

Always shift drag. That way, I feel Ive got more control on my mesh.

[Beatrix_Kiddo]

wow i think it looks really awesome even for a wip. cant wwait to see the finished thing!

[Pikmin]

Thx!

Sorry this kind of picture, but I didnt install my photoshop to crop them.

An other update :) , Ill try to post other soon...

[Pikmin]

With good renderer.

[Chokin Hazard™]

Thumbs up!

[goat]

looking good no real crits right now. kee it up

[ido]

beautiful modeling work Pikmin :) as always with your work.
are you modeling him only fot that pose? (no rigging?)

[Pikmin]

Thx all!.

ido: This one, I model him just for that pose. So didnt model the charactere in the stant pose.Ill try to finish the hand today.

update

[chaos_seed]

going on just perfectly !The neck isn't exactly as the drawing a bit more skinny with the hair really starting in the "coffin"whereas the ref on is larger and the hais are strating as a continutaion of the neck but i prefer it that way too !Nice work !
Still a bit of tweaking on the belly but it's really going to be a great model !

[the_peel]

Wow, coming very nicely so far. The only thing I would crit right now would be that the ridges of the abdominal muscles look too deep. Maybe relax the ridges a bit.

[Astjid]

Very nice work, thanks for sharing.

[ColeKindred]

Love it so far. The concept is sick is that off a magic card?

[Pikmin]

Thx! Real critic! yeah!


chaos_seed : You came with detail , I didnt pay attetion. Thx. For hte belly, I think the renderer is for something, because it look good without
:p

the_peel : Good point Ill try it! Thx

Its not from magic card, maybe a video game, Im not sure.

[Moxley]

Thats some amazing work you got there, the mesh is soo smooth keep up the good work cant wait to see more

[rubberduck]

Very nice modeling job! I love it 5*'s

[Isurus]

you are a great modeller. can i see some close up wires? im a beginner and think i could learn something by looking at your technique.

[Mystik]

Nice Joe from only one pic really autentic and similar It'S good to know that everyone are getting much better than before

[Da Artist]

Pikmin no crits looking good, he feels like he should be in the Mummy or in Hell Boy next to that fish guy.

[jawahar]

impressive concept and modeling,no crits :D :D :)

[Cyrenn]

LOL!

Great Job!

Everytime I tell others in my class that I prefer to model by using a single plane. I show them this thread.

On how much control you can achieve by this method. Keep up the great work.
