Welcome to the forth challenge of The Speed Sculpting competition. The only place to sculpt.

The Rules:

1. The competition will last one week, which will be allocated to creating and submitting the entries, followed by several days of judging and voting the entries -- at which point the next competition will start.
2. The moderators will be supplying a base mesh for each competition (this week's provided by forum user (insert members name supplying mesh here), from which everyone will start sculpting. This is so we all get an equal start and it keeps us on topic.
3. There will be a time limit for the sculpting. Spend no longer than the allocated time limit, then post a screen-grab of your model. No cheating, we are relying on your honesty here.
4. Do not add any meshes other than those sanctioned in this competition brief.
5. As the base mesh shows, the sculpt is a shoulders, torso and head sculpt only, do not attempt to extend this into a full-body sculpt.
6. No rendering, texturing, lighting or rigging, let's keep it all about the high-res sculpt. What we are looking for is the quality of the sculpts you can produce "under pressure". If your entry is not complete, you can still post as long as it's recognizable and on topic.
7. For your final entry, post a screen-grab from your software with your finished work in it. It's fine to present this stuff nicely, with nice labelling etc, but do not add any post-production to the images themselves. These images must be uploaded to our servers by using the "manage attachments" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images files. Larger than the maximum size or posts containing links to external images (other than for reference materials) will be removed and the poster disqualified.
8. You can have multiple entries, but you can have only one final entry for each competition.
9. Do not create your own WIP thread. Simply post all WIP screen-grabs in here, and your FINAL entry in this thread (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=59331).

These rules apply to everybody taking part, there will be NO exceptions!
We've attached the base mesh at the bottom of this post. Take it and go subdivide.

Prizes
The winner will receive a $200 3D print of their character sculpt, see full details of this amazing prize here (http://www.3dtotal.com/3dprinting/).
Our guide for preparing models for 3d printing can also be downloaded here (http://www.3dtotal.com/services/3dprinting/images/The%20Basics%20of%20Growing%203D%20Models.zip)

Time limit - 4 hours
Start Date: Tuesday June 10th
Deadline - Tuesday June 24th, 10:00 AM GMT +0 (For information about GMT click here (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/))
Subject - Real-Life Cartoon.

This time it's about cartoons, from The Simpsons, Dungeons & Dragons, Thundercats, Dangermouse, Count Duckula, M.A.S.K, to Disney, & The Looney Tunes. There's so many cartoons from our past & present you could make a real-life Daffy Duck, or a hyper-realistic Fred Flintstone, a bulky winged Venger from D&D, Akira or even a bespectacled Penfold! The choice is yours!

As before, we're giving you the option of having eyes, there's a separate .obj file provided or you can add eyes yourself as sub-tools (or software equivalent) but you have to pick one or the other of these options, not both. It needs to be a pre-existing cartoon, no making your own cartoons please, also no Superheroes Or Mechas.

Let's see those cartoons come to life...

[disco stew]

damm this is tempting. u guys are seriously preventing me from studying!
im gonna sue you !!! :grr:

[Knut]

...studying? Sounds complicated, best get back to sculpting!

I'm thinking about doing an Emery or Oglethorpe for this one :D
Don't steal my ideas!

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

yeah, where did studying get anyone eh? stick to sculpting much more fun:smug:

[cojoMan]

when you say Dungeons and Dragons, you mean the D&D cartoons...not the monsters let's say...from the D&D Monsters Manual...or am I wrong ?

[Freespace-3DT]

Definetely the cartoons, cojoMan.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Yep the cartoons, so that's Hank, the Ranger, Eric, the Cavalier, Diana, the Acrobat, Presto, the Magician, Sheila, the Thief, Bobby, the Barbarian, Uni, the Unicorn, Venger, Force of Evil, Shadow Demon, Tiamat, the dragon & Dungeon Master (Paul Daniels lookalike) to choose from :)

Enjoy

CG.

[MonteCristo]

I call shotgun on Venger!

[aby arty]

is it ok to refer the tv episode vedio of the cartoon u wana sculpt ?

[Avatar-3DT]

Hehe, yet another fun challenge. :D Lets get it on boys and girls (if any girl around).

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

is it ok to refer the tv episode vedio of the cartoon u wana sculpt ?

As long as it's a cartoon it'll be fine :)

Monty - You're going to do a fantastic Venger I just know it! ;P

CG

[Intervain]

yeah that one's really cool... truly looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.. I know whom I'll take without any doubt :D:smug:

edit: I'm kinda thrown off-track by the real-life part - do you mean we're to make the cartoons more like realistic characters or should we stick with the cartoony look? call me stupid but I'm confused 0_o

[Knut]

do you mean we're to make the cartoons more like realistic characters

That's the idea yeah :)

[Intervain]

wicked :D thnx!

[kazmamurat]

funny challenge!

[bgen]

sounds great !! woohooo more sculpting - less learning for uni !!

[freesupra]

omg yus cant wait to get something cooking for this comp. really nice choice of topic this round :D

[goronking]

is that jayce, of jayce and the wheeled warriors fame i see the in the background there. legendary. i'll be in on this one for sure, just gotta decide who to do, too many choices! :D

[NeoGeo]

i'm in peter griffin is mine mwhwuahauwhahah :p

[el.tintop]

i'm in.starting to find a concept...yeah.

[Rooky]

would love to see any of the dragonballZ characters, but anyway - this will be fun to watch. Great theme! :)

[rap]

this is sooo tempting:drool:

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Oh Yeah there's Jayce there! What a classic 80's cartoon that was with a wicked theme tune that and Thundercats of course :)

I wanna see a take on Penfold lol.

[Freespace-3DT]

would love to see any of the dragonballZ characters, but anyway - this will be fun to watch. Great theme! :)

Give it a try, Rooky. :wave: Try making Vegeta, or someone.

[M3N7H0L5]

man!this is tough one..my brain's already cramp..:wall:

[el.tintop]

i will come up with BEAVIS i think...hehe.he.:dance:

[ianchaos]

Well I've been wanting to try to make a semi realistic Popeye, so this seems like the perfect opportunity.

Since Popeye was rarely drawn with any teeth I figure I can use those to make his pipe and use his missing eye to make his sailors hat.

Here I am at the 10 minute mark...just trying to get a general head shape down.

[capitan_popo]

Got so many ideas dont know waht 2 choose:wall::hmm:

[Knut]

We pushed the deadline forward another week fyi. Keeping these things going for two weeks will be standard from now on.

[bgen]

i call dips on "Cheetara" - thundercat ownage... :P

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

i call dips on "Cheetara" - thundercat ownage... :P

Oh cool :dance:

[capitan_popo]

think I am gonna go for Kame-sennin from dragon ball z

[grommie]

I can't believe this!
It's amazing guys!
Lets go modelling!

[clee101]

Just happen to run into this. This sounds real fun. Can we do Street Fighter Characters?

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Alas....................no, street fighter was animated into 2 films, but it's origins were in the video game industry so not really cartoon characters, there's plenty others to choose from though :)

CG.

[cojoMan]

X-Men ? :D

[bgen]

really would love some one to do Asterix or Obelix or the Druid ^^.
OR TinTin :D. that would be great - i might try tintin after Cheetara.

[usmanghiyas]

sweet iam but had to think about the cartoon.

[Intervain]

well my absolute favourite cartoon characters are Hades from Disney's Hercules and Wilde E. Coyote so I have to have a go at at least one of those guys :lurve::crazy:

[Crab People]

Krang! -2hrs-

[Crab People]

Oh, I used an eyeball for the brain.

[Emeth003]

Crab People - good choice of reference
very good start

[M3N7H0L5]

CRAB PEOPLE::nice one!bringing back the memories..
i'm still working on a list and haven't yet decide..
i wonder if a nap would help..

[Josh_Strey]

Ooo Im so on this one... I call the Tick!

Spooon!!

CrabPeople- Thats freakin such an awesome idea, I busted out laughing when this popped up on my screen..
Dont forget Crangs little joysticks..
Really awesome though Crab


-J

[funkdelic]

pretty cool crab people,
I´m totally for Dungeon Master
http://news.filefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/neverwinter_nights_dm.jpg

[DemolishMan]

I am interested in making Pinky or the Brain from Pinky and the Brain cartoon.

When does it start? :evil:

[funkdelic]

demolishman: it already started man =]

[Nima_3dman]

hey "Crab People", nice job.

I was forgetting that character, yeah I remembered those wonderful days... thx

[AA-ron]

"also no Superheroes Or Mechas"
I dont know if anyone is familiar with the Japanese show, The Guyver, but I was thinking it would be wicked fun to sculpt him...would he be considered a superhero?

-Or- my second idea was maybe Meatwad, Frylock or Earl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force haha :D

Since I put the super soldier sculpt on the back burner and ran out of time, I have to do a slammin job on this one haha.

[Aleks]

well my absolute favourite cartoon characters are Hades from Disney's Hercules and Wilde E. Coyote so I have to have a go at at least one of those guys :lurve::crazy:

I love Hades as well.James Wood did a great job voicing him :) Would love to see you sculpt him ;)

[DemolishMan]

maybe ill try he-man, if no one else is doing it.

[vongn]

hey,

I see lots of good ideas floating around.

Spent about 3 hours at work doing this on the laptop. its suppost to be Eric Cartman from South Park. sculpting in the mudbox, hair and posing in the zbrush. I'll do another one soon, not sure what character though.:verts:

[Freespace-3DT]

Haha, that's cool, vongn. Just try to make Cartman less cheery, he's always annoyed at something, remember? :)

[DemolishMan]

vongn it does look like cartman, lol.

[Norman Anderson]

Funny challenge...

Sorry Demolishman, I started sculpting without see your post.

http://maroma.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/desenhos-animados_pink.jpg

[Medusa]

I'm thinking about sculpting Papa Smurf. Great challenge... I hope I won't fail my exams :)

[grommie]

Just blocking some shapes... about 30, 40 minutes of working on it.
See ya guys!

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u135/grommievp/1-10.jpg

[Sathe]

vongn, nice one!< are you using that illustrated drawing of them as reference? you have nailed it :D

[Josh_Strey]

Vogn- thats so awesome... you should knock out the other 3... or maybe give butters a shot.

No worries, i changed my mind earlier @ he-man =D

[grommie]

about 1h and 40 minutes, but its finished...I don't know how to make him more realistic, but I'm sure I'll think about another cartoon.
Great job guys
see ya folks

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u135/grommievp/2-13.jpg

[MonteCristo]

Fun fun. :D Here's what I got so far.
117476
Loving the entries so far guys and gals! :wave:

[Intervain]

woah dude! sweet...:dance:

[funkdelic]

amazing guys
goofy is looking really sweet Glauco, nice job!

Monte: wait for the Dungeon master and we can battle man ;) nice job

[Sathe]

I Bags stewie!

[Ordibble Plop]

Sounds like a fun topic. I'm in for sure. I loved Dangermouse, but as it was already mentioned I may try a different tack.

MonteCristo: nice job (though I haven't a clue what the cartoon is).

I noticed that your and other's pics have some jaggies on. When using ZB you can use the AAhalf function to get some 'antialiasing' for a bit better look. With screengrabs this will lower the res of course, but it is also possible to export the ZB document as a PSD (in the doc palette). This doesn't render anything (it just exports whatever is on the canvas at the time) but it does mean you can control the picture res and use AAhalf without loss of size. The usual strategy is to make the doc size twice the final size wanted and then use AAhalf.

My apologies if you already know that - I thought it might help others on the presentation side.

[aby arty]

[eka]

A couple of days ago I went to a reptile zoo and saw some amazing looking creatures including an alligator snapping turtle. This is my version of TMNT in a realistic style. I got in a good 1.5 hours into it tonight.

Nice work so far everyone. Monte, awesome job on him so far, very recognisable :)
apollofox for your first sculpt thats good. i think his forms could use a bit more shape, everywhere is a bit flat atm, but good start :)
kazmamurat good start, never seen that char before, but sculpt going well.
good work everyone else!

[bgen]

[grommie]

Really nice funkdelic!
Keep it up guys!

[MonteCristo]

Hey guys
here is Kermit the Frog, from Muppets =p

2.40 hours

Nice Sculpt man. A couple of points...

1) It doesn't look anything like Dungeon Master.
2) It needs to look like a balding midget with a red dress on.
3) It needs to look more as though it may have appeared in Dungeons and Dragons...

Hope this helps!

Cheers.
Monte :)

[funkdelic]

hahahaha,
yeah yeah I know, I should be doing the old master
but kermit is one of my favorites from my childhood,
but dungeon master is the next one
hehehe
thanks for the tips Monte!! P

[Crab People]

Skeletor! -1hr45min-

[Crab People]

Norman Anderson -This is a great start, lots of potential here.

vongn - Love the Cartman! Maybe make him even more chubby!

[Crab People]

amazing entries,

crab people; excellent work for 2 hours, you're very fast,



Thanks Kaz! I am getting much faster thanks to these sculpture challenges! :dance:

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Woah! Crab People you rock, that Skeletor is just amazing!

funkdelic - I nearly though you're entry wouldn't be allowed as the muppets were puppet show but then I remembered Muppet Babies lol :)

[vongn]

haha hey thanks guys,

yup I used that wanted sketch as the reference, I dont think Im going to do anything else with cartman.

more fat?? haha hes so fat already.

I want to try doing butters, wont have any reference to work off of though, so I gotta find a kid who I think resembles him. hhhmmm

[M_Cederstrom]

Crab people - Man you took my idea. :D LOL

[blanktarget]

The Krang one is awesome. Goofy is looking super creepy. Too many cracks in the skin? Good job on the rest so far!

[funkdelic]

funkdelic - I nearly though you're entry wouldn't be allowed as the muppets were puppet show but then I remembered Muppet Babies lol [
=P
I´ll make another one to match the theme better hehe

[Freespace-3DT]

bgen, I don't see why not. :) But wouldn't it be boring? Try different characters.

[bgen]

Nah cheetara is ace... would never get boring sculpting her :D.
Ye i will try cheetara about 2-3 times. next week got loads of time.
diffrent character i will definitly try.

[Osky]

I couldn't get in on last challenge or the one before, but this one is very exciting and fun.

I'm focusing on one of my favorite animes, Lupin The 3rd.

Currently im 1hr 15 min on Lupin, hope to get a good result with him. And after him want to do Fujiko and Zenigata.

Crab People- ur skeletor and krang are looking good. Krangs ma fave so far
Funk- funny looking kermet, now do Dungeon Master
Vongn-cartman looks good
Kaz-ur character is looking real, though I don't know who it is

Monte-cool character, though i don't know who it is neither
apolloFox-nice start to Mr. Burns

[M3N7H0L5]

I was sculpting Homer Simpson..after around 40 minutes or so,my zbrush freeze..it was that right-click menu..I didn't save it unlike my other sculpts..i always remember to save..maybe it was me who think like Homer when sculpting..such a bad karma..lol

out of mood..I'm gonna start around with different character..

Anyway,you guys are awesome!keep it up!

Unlucky dude. I reckon you may want to read the following LINK (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=58970&page=38) then, as Aleks posted links to a useful app that may help with this.

For all of you who seem at a loss as to the guy I'm working on, You have clearly missed out on one of the best TV cartoons of it's time -- and therefore one of the best bad guys ever. Seriously Venger is such a brilliant bad guy.

117557

How can you not love him?

Also his death scenes were fairly spectacular too (and yes there were a lot, but you can't kill this mofo, oh no. Here he is making a grand entrance as usual:

[Daniela Blanco]

My first time on the sculpting challenge.............
Awesome work everyone.............I'll try to do Elmyra Duff, but mine, will be a little more scary.........

[DonShole]

Thanks for extending to 2 weeks, I probably won't start on mine till next week.

Hey, Afro!

[Aleks]

I wanted to do Afro :ugh:

[AA-ron]

Very cool updates.

I think Ive decided to give Gambit from X-Men a shot first. He was a badass character that never got his fame he deserved. Hopefully my sculpting skills will do him some justice haha :crazy:
After Gambit I will probably attempt The Guyver.

[Dcflath]

This is a fantastic contest! I'm very excited about it. Great job so far everyone. There's far too much good work for me to comment individually on. Here is my work in progress so far. Good luck all.

[MonteCristo]

Nice job DCFlath. Welcome aboard! :)

[Osky]

Im not trying to start anything here, but..............

The mario character is great, but isn't he orignally a game character.

CG said this though, to someone trying to do a street fighter character:
"Alas....................no, street fighter was animated into 2 films, but it's origins were in the video game industry so not really cartoon characters, there's plenty others to choose from though"

CG.

I just wanted to clarify.....

[Dcflath]

After I posted , I went back and saw the discussion about video game characters. I thought that Mario from the Mario Brothers animated series would be ok.


CARTOON
–noun
1. a sketch or drawing, usually humorous, as in a newspaper or periodical, symbolizing, satirizing, or caricaturing some action, subject, or person of popular interest.
2. comic strip.
3. animated cartoon.


Personally, I feel that if a character, regardless of it's origins, was featured as an animated cartoon this would be following the rules.

[MonteCristo]

Well, this one is ClassicGamer's baby really, so he's gonna need to have the final say on this. :halo:

[AA-ron]

Heres my update haha. Doesnt seem like I did a whole lot after 50 minutes, but I think I got a lot of the elongated, sunk in and sharp features in. Im realizing I need more practice on realistic human faces haha, lips especially.

After my earlier post and not being able to find a whole lot of views online for reference, I remembered when young I had a Gambit toy!! :D :D After digging through my addic and room I found him, so that is helping a ton for this....thats not cheating, right?? Again, another fun challenge!

[DJdude]

I'm pretty sure Gambit will be in the upcoming xmen 4

[Josh_Strey]

I'm pretty sure Gambit will be in the upcoming xmen 4

Theres no X-Men 4 but theres this - X-Men Origins: Wolverine
It does have gambit too...

[AA-ron]

Sweet, cant wait for that to hit the threatres! Til then Ill continue on my Gambit ;)

[funkdelic]

cool Daniela, nice to see another brazilian gal here =]

[aby arty]

hi guys for my first try ill be going with gohan

can anyone suggest how to go about his whacky hair , i tried but mine look like metal spikes.

heres a pic im referring to

[Osky]

Aby- check this out
http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=56245

Don't know how he did it, but its done wonderfully, maybe u could ask him for some pointers.....

[M3N7H0L5]

MonteCristo-3DT::thanks for the link.I've read it before but i can still save using default hotkey (ctrl+shift+T).It's great if zbrush has an autosave feature just like other 3d software.

DonShole::man!that's one awesome character to sculpt.

[Makaveli]

Started sculpting out XLR8 from the Cartoon Network cartoon series, Ben 10. Not sure if I'm gonna continue it or start something new.

[eka]

another update. 3 hours in

http://www.whatsupnow.com/3dtotal/eka_realturtle_progress02.jpg

[DemolishMan]

the skeletor kick ass lol

[bryzol]

I've seen many great work in those challenges here. I am very imprest with all of it It's my first try to make Jessica Rabbit. There is a lot to do with it yet and maybe I will try to do it one more time later. It would be great if you write some comments to it. I am new in zBrush so any critics will be priceless for me. :)

Kermit the Frog is great :)

[rap]

hope i can make something out of this. would like to try this...

[JHarford]

< doing batman

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

I'm going allow mario and gambit, originally it was all about trying to keep superhero's and video game characters out of the challenge as was mecha's, gundam, guyver and the like.

But

I suppose that X-men and Mario although there origins were within the comic book and video game industry, i'll let these ones go as they have got animated series to their names aswell.

The only reason really was that I wanted to keep this more cartoon character based entries, I'm kinda hopeing that we'll see more characters like Hong Kong Phooey, M.A.S.K, Dangermouse & Disney characters.

However it's all learning and the sculpts are incredibly good.

Monty - You are dead right about Venger, he was and still is in my opinion the best cartoon nemesis ever, what did annoy me was that the series never actually got to be finished, there is a script though in which they defeat Venger and get the chance to finally go home, but there's a twist. I won't say anymore but I know how the series ended even though it never got animated. And what was even better is that the cartoon had two legendary vocal artists attatched to it, Eric the Cavalier was voiced by Don Most who played Ralf Malf in Happy Days with the Fonz & Venger, oh venger was voiced by the best voice in the business Optimus Prime himself Peter Cullen! now that's a cool voice :)

Keep the sculpts coming guys they are brilliant. :)

Oh yeah, anyone remember Visionairies?

CG.

BTW - I'm strangely attracted to Jessica Rabbit, is that wrong? :( lol

[bgen]

bryzol - Jessica Rabbit looks ace. i wanted to do her as well later on next week.
but for starters in Zbrush it's really ace.

eka - the turtle is coming along really nicly -

Dcflath - Mario turned out real good.

Crab People - skeletor is ace, but still i Like ure Krang much better - seems to have more shape and personality in it.

vongn - hehe cartman looks sweet. i am with freespace on this one- he looks way to happy to be cartman.

kazmamurat - man i am allways impressed with ure sculpts allways so clean and a symetrical - nice one mate.

funkdelic - hehe it kermit =!= from baby muppets ? or do the adult have a comics/cartoon as well ?

Osky - nice start on Lupin. Well i personally think i am not good enough of a artist yet to be in the 3d/ CG buisness -
even dough hobby wise i play around with maya/Zbrush/Modo etc... - so while i pratice i want to get a good education. Something to get back to if something else fails.



BTW - I'm strangely attracted to Jessica Rabbit, is that wrong? :( lol
who isn'T :D :D :D

[goronking]

I
Oh yeah, anyone remember Visionairies?



Best cartoon ever. Got the dvd, there's no rose tints on that bad boy (not the same for Bucky o'Hare, serious rose tints there). Shame it only got 13 episodes (admitadly, i couldn;t have told you that when I was a kid), you can tell they wrote the last episode for closure, which is a shame.
I'll do more on my Matt Tracker over the weekend.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Yeah :) I remember the first video I bought had an action figure with it with a hologram imbedded into the chest which at the time I thought was so so cool. The very first VHS video I had though was for out top loading Panasonic video player and recorder which was so large you needed to knock a wall down to instal it, and the first video I bought with my pocket money for the grand some of £2 was Thundercats - The Terror Of Hammerhand, and it was just one single episode on one tape, I eventually just about ran that tape out after about 1000 plays in the weeks after buying it. Then I got Count Duckula, & Dangermouse both voiced by the legend that is David Jason, Dangermouse had the brilliant Terry Scot aswell from the Carry On Films & Terry & June fame. Then I think I got Rude Dog & The Dweebs, Marvel Action Hour which contained The Hulk, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, then I got the Pink Panther series with the Anteater mini series on it lol. Then there was 80 Days' Around The World With Willy Fogg which is still know the words to the theme song lol. What happy memories of cartoons. Thankfully alot of cartoons are on DVD know, I noticed that Bananaman, Batfink, Biker Mice From Mars, Samurai Pizza Cats & Ox Tales are available now, I wanna get those beauties one day. If you happen to be older than 20 you'll remember some of the best cartoons on the early eighties and 90's, if you are younger than 20 then i'm afraid you've sadly missed out on some incredibly great cartoons, yes there are reruns, but there are some classics that are no longer around to see now sadly.

[kazmamurat]

funkdelic; kermit is great, i like it,

bryzol; she is attractive, great model, great pose.

here is my "Groo The Wanderer", actually it is not finished, but 4 hours of work,

meanwhile, this character is from a comic book series, is there any problem about not being from a tv series?

http://www.newsfromme.com/images5/groo11.jpg

[bgen]

i should really learn but this is so addictive....

ye classicsgamer people that are under 20 years have really missed some really great cartoons and times... todays kids watch stuff like teletubbies and stupid stuff like that... freak show argh

well anyhow here is cheetara - i might try he one more time next week.
the black stuff is masking btw. no poly painting.

[bgen]

kazmamurat - great work !!!! *clap dance clap*

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

bgen - Cheetara looks fantastic, great re-creation of the logo on the outfit aswell using an alpha map :)

CG

[bryzol]

Thanks bgen.
Thanks Kazmamurat... and Groo The Wanderer is just great! Brovo!

[kazmamurat]

thanks bgen and bryzol,

i want to make another sculpt; Mr. Incredible. but i'm in need of some spare time.

[SamH9303]

Does superman count ?, had a cartoon series in the 80's in Superfriends then there was that animated series in the 90's. Thats who im thinking of modelling

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Yeah go on, but i'd prefer it if we strayed away from the superhero's, but yeah if you'd like to make the Super dude go ahead.

CG.

[Mantis]

Just a question: Are we able to add small props, a hat or something else who are not grown from the basemesh?

I'm sorry if the question has been already answered but I can't use the search fonction, the spam question is always wrong.

[neolith]

@Mantis:From what i know,you cant add any new meshes to the mesh provided by the mods,if you want to make hats or other props,you have to sculpt them using the eyes,teeth or make masks etc.

[Freespace-3DT]

@Mantis:From what i know,you cant add any new meshes to the mesh provided by the mods,if you want to make hats or other props,you have to sculpt them using the eyes,teeth or make masks etc.

Exactly right. You need to sacrifice the teeth submesh, or an eye for props. No adding of extras, just to keep everyone starting at the same level. :wave:

[Josh_Strey]

I spent another hour last night, heres what I got...
Everyones doin so well, lots of cool styles to check out here...

[Mantis]

So If I want to make a hood and an other little prop I can do it if I replace them by the eyes and teeth?
Or do I have to sculpt my props from the teeth and eyes?

[funkdelic]

kazmamurat> pretty amazing modelling skills man! congratz

[DonShole]

Aleks-3DT Well, there's no real reason for more than one sculpt of the same character, is there? On the other hand the Afro Samurai series has loads of interesting chracters - hint hint :)

M3N7H0L5 Yeah, Afro is an awesome character, hopefully not too ambitious for me.

[Freespace-3DT]

Josh: I'm loving your sculpt, keep it up! It has character.

Mantis: If you want a hood, you extract one eye, for example, and model it into the hood. The point is you should never add something to the basemeshes given, or modify them previously in 3dsmax/maya. It's about sculpting, and dealing with such problems as your predicament right now: I've got a head, teeth and eyes, but I need a hood as well. What do I do? Now, that's where the challenge is at. :) Good luck!

[bgen]

made another one since my law/history exam went great.

Here he is Captian Caveman wip / here is also my reference pic.

[neolith]

@bgen:That caveman is really funny,great character he was :) Btw,what's that material,i keep seeing it but i dont know what it's called like :)

[Freespace-3DT]

bgen, I loved Capt. Caveman when I was kid. :)

I think you could decrease his nose length by around 20-30%, and make his fur look more like fur. Because it's not gruffy enough, it just sticks over the skin like it's some sort of scales, right now. You chose a difficult character to sculpt, man.

Hey thanks man much appreciated, Im havin a blast with doin this guy.

Quick question though, If I'm going to sculpt an asset such as a hood from an eye, does that mean I have to sacrifice one of the provided eyes to do this, or can I duplicate the eyes and sculpt from them as many times as needed.
Somewhat confused, I made his antlers from one of the eyes you guys provided, but still have a set of eyes in his head.
Am I breaking ze rules?
Hope my question makes some sense...

-J

[McMayhem]

So many good pieces up it's pretty impressive including one like mine. I had already decided on doing Skeletor so stuck with him. Here's 2.5 hrs into it.
The rules didn't really say but I was wondering if we were allowed to subdivide
select areas of the mesh? I wanted to add more detail to the shoulders cuz they're just mushy.

Hmmm this is my first time doing this so I didn't even think about using the extra parts. I pulled my hood from the head. Wish I would've thought to use the eyes or teeth. Maybe I'll make a cape from it. :) Good to know.

[Freespace-3DT]

I'm sorry but you can't duplicate eyes/teeth for props. You need to sacrifice them. An acceptable compromise would be to use the teeth, and then keep your character's mouth closed.

[skullbeast]

Its mumra for me!

[neolith]

@McMayhem:You can always sacrifice the eyes for accesories and instead just sculpt the eyeballs into their 'sockets' using the flatten,then the magnify brush.It usually gives good results and you have more material to work with,without duplicating anything...

[Josh_Strey]

I'm sorry but you can't duplicate eyes/teeth for props. You need to sacrifice them. An acceptable compromise would be to use the teeth, and then keep your character's mouth closed.

Dag Nabbit... Ill prolly try too keep the antennae and lose my actual eyes like Neolith suggested... hmmm
Thanks for providing me some clarity though!

[Redregon]

Oooh, memories of afterschool cartoons!

20 minutes so far (+/-5)

[M3N7H0L5]

Here's my 2nd sculpt after Homer
Our friendly neighborhood that lives under a rock and doing nothing else except..nothing..
who don't recognize this pal?everybody does..he's a legend!HAHA
I'm at 1 hour 15 mins..i think..

I'm 20's now but i don't really remember cartoons from my childhood..just several of them..maybe too many kamen rider and power rangers..haha

McMayhem,Redregon,bgen::nice sculpt guys..I like your skeletor, McMayhem.

C'mon guys!have you all been watching EURO lately?we got speedsculpt going on here!!:D:p HAHA

i love Capt. Caveman as well. A great dude :D. and i made his nose shorter 2.


neolith - ye caveman is awsome.
----------

an update of caveman. has anyone a good tutorials or suggetion how to do fur or fuzzy hair like caveman has ? i am a bit stuck there.

[AA-ron]

ClassicGamer-3DT - Ill continue on Gambit since you said it was allowed, but what about The Guyver? I wasnt too sure if what you were saying was a definitive yes or no. Im not sure if Id consider him a mecha or anything since its all armor in the cartoons. If no, thats cool, I can find something else to mess around with.

[Josh_Strey]

Redregon - such an awesome choice! I was thinking about doing him or Goliath when I finish my Tick sculpt... guess I know which one Im doing now, haha.
Gargoyles Rules!

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

AA-ron - I suppose it's a body suit for The Guyver so go on, you can do it lol :)

Now, who's gonna do He-Man's Battlecat!

Its mumra for me!

Now, that I gotta see. Oh, btw... which state, tiny frail mummy, or big blue tw*t

I think the scrawny one.

I think the scrawny one.

Sweet, Mummra will look cool sculpted. :haha:

Surprised Minerva ( Animaniacs ) isn't in here yet. . . .

Or anyone from the following:

GI-Joe, Transformers, Tiny Toons, Tom and Jerry, Blackstar, Bravestar,
Rescue Rangers, COPS, Mask, Duck Tales, Fat Albert, Ghostbusters,
Inspector Gadget, Jetsons, Johnny Quest, Speed Racer, Pink Panther,
Schoolhouse Rock, Smurfs, Snorks, Space Ghost, Voltron, and Visionaries.

I guess it shows my age huh ? :D

Mum-Ra always cracked me up. . . he would just go bananas during that
whole transformation thing. . . lol

Mum-Ra. . . the Ever LIVING ! * insert incoherent maniacal laughter here *


Nice sculpt on Venger there Monty :) One episode of that show really sticks
out in my head after all this time.

Their weaponry was losing it's 'power' and they had to recharge them.
Unfortunately, the recharge device existed on the same plane of existence
Tiamat lived within. . . .

On that plane, the damn things actually worked the way they were supposed
to and at unbelievable power. Venger got his a$$ handed to him by the crew
in a big way :)

Ok, I'm officially in full blown geek mode now. . . . I'll quit :D

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

You've just described my childhood viewings lol :)

[Ordibble Plop]

Btw,what's that material,i keep seeing it but i dont know what it's called like :)

neolith: I think it is RS_GreyClay, a freeby one that Ralf Stumpf put up on ZBC, though I don't have a link to it sorry.

[Katonc]

Eka: i was thinking the same thing. I am going to be doing a ninja turtle, so maybe they will have to fight now! haha
Some cool entries so far, this is a cool topic. I am looking forward to making mine.

hI great job evrybody,especially kazmamurat,bgen and bryzol!
I was out of ideas(im so old i cant remember any cartoons:P),finally decided on vegeta from dragonball series.1 h 10 minutes of work so far...lots of problems with hair(zbrush crash when i try to blur mask:wall:)


sorry for my english:lame:

[M_Cederstrom]

I'm thinking of doing Betty Boop, Winne the Pooh, or Mighty Mouse! :D

[Intervain]

bgen - haha awesome :D

kazmamurat - great, though I could not tell from looking at the realistic one who that is :)

well I could not hold back any longer - here's my take on Hades - 4hrs to the minute and I wish there were more to spare 'cause some places look fishy :cry: and in all he's too cartoony... oh well

Erg, I knew I wasn't quick enough.

Betty Boop is top of my list - there's just something about that giant bum-shaped head that I think would make a good study :haha:

[McMayhem]

Intervain: Nice sculpt! Looks great. Like yourself I'm worried mine isn't following the criteria. I still have an hour and a half to add details so I'll see what I can do.

[neolith]

neolith: I think it is RS_GreyClay, a freeby one that Ralf Stumpf put up on ZBC, though I don't have a link to it sorry.

MonteCristo - LOL cheers :)

McMayhem - thanks :)

[capitan_popo]

Crab People Think the Krang sculpt was an awesome choice!! hadnt even thought about that one, if I had would have probably done it. Great sculpt, also like the skeletor sculpt.
Vongn You nailed the cartman wanted sketch!! looks great! Had thought about doing that as well using the wanted sketch
Montecristo Have never seen dungeons and dragons, although from the clips you put up it looks alot like the character, nice work
Grommie Like the goofy sculpt although would take some of the wrinkles away, too much
Josh Strey Good and clean sculpt, but a bit too cartoony IMO
Kazmamurat Great indian sculpt, really like it, and its a perfect realistic version of the cartoon
Bgen Awesome cheetara sculpt, my favorite that I ahve see from you, also brave choice with capitan caveman, all that fur, lookin good though
Funkadelic Fantastic kermit sculpt, a bit freaky (in agood way though)
Bryzon Like the pose you gave her, but think a bit of detail is missing in the hair
Dcflath really liking that mario sculpt
Mcmayhem Also like your skeletor sculpt
Skullbeast DAMMIT!!! had also though of doing mumra for my second sculpt, haha well will have to think of soemthing else, cant wait 2 see ur version though
Mafida Cant wait to see the vegeta sculpt finished, nice workso far
Intervain Really like the hades sculpt raelly clean, think hes one of my favorite disney characters as well, like the overall style of the movie, might do one of the characters from there for my third sculpt, if I have time.

Here is my first entry for this challange, its Kame-sennin from dragon ball Z took a really long time with the glasses which is why the clothin isnt as good as I wanted it to be, the glasses were made from one of the teeth objs, and the shell from one of the eyes, took me the full 4 hours.

Going to do Powdered Toast man next!!

[mafida]

capitan_popo-he looks great and the beard is just perfect:)

[neolith]

capitan-popo-That's awesome,that guy was really hilarious :)

[disco stew]

really nice one popo!
i have one general question.
i see some people are doing stylized toon sculpts more looking like the comic than the real world.
the sense of this competition is to create the look as if it was a real earth version of it am i right?

[funkdelic]

amazing popo! look just like the same of the cartoon, congratz man

[Ordibble Plop]

i have one general question.
i see some people are doing stylized toon sculpts more looking like the comic than the real world. the sense of this competition is to create the look as if it was a real earth version of it am i right?

I've was wondering about this too. In the end I decided to sculpt something as if it were realistic rather then 'real'; for example, the orcs in The Lord of the Rings aren't real (as per this earth), but they are realistic.

There are so many different styles of toons, from real humans to stylised and anthropomorphised animals, it would be hard to do this without some flexibility I think (or without losing a lot of a toon's character - would micky mouse just be a mouse with big ears?) - but then I'm not official, so please don't take this as definitive.

[skullbeast]

50 minutes. materials only!

[Josh_Strey]

Captain Popo- Thanks alot man, I think though since I went about making this the wrong way from the get go, I may trash this as an entry and continue it elsewhere.
Thinking my new entry could be Goliath from the Gargoyles... anyone remember that show?



MummRa... Thats awesome

[McMayhem]

Skullbeast: Nice start! Thundercats is one of my favorite cartoons. I too was thinking of doing Mumm-Ra but opted for Skeletor instead. But hey, there might be time to do some more sculpts so I've got to start digging around for another candidate :)

[L07u5]

Hi there all. I thought I would get in on the fun now aswell. I havent done much art for a long while now and just started again a few weeks ago. I also started to play with zbrush seriously then. I have looked at it abit befor becouse I have always thought it seams to be a cool program.

Well here is my WIP image on Riley from "The Boondocks". So far I worked for 2 hours on it.

[Redregon]

Redregon - such an awesome choice! I was thinking about doing him or Goliath when I finish my Tick sculpt... guess I know which one Im doing now, haha.
Gargoyles Rules!

heheh! awesome!

though, consider me odd, but i've always had a soft spot for Hudson. and Ed Asner was such a great voice actor, how can anyone NOT like him :P

[skullbeast]

Mumm-Ra 1hour 33 min.

[skullbeast]

Skullbeast: Nice start! Thundercats is one of my favorite cartoons. I too was thinking of doing Mumm-Ra but opted for Skeletor instead. But hey, there might be time to do some more sculpts so I've got to start digging around for another candidate :)

Thanks!What's funny is I posted that I wanted to do Skeletor, but I did not read all of the page threads yet then saw yours and I decided to go for Mumm-Ra.

[crapmeat]

Fun topic!! Lots of people doing great here.
Is anyone doing Pink Panther? I might try just for fun.


**Love the capitan popo

[rap]

hi!

just saw that Jharford is also doin batman. I'm pretty sure that would be awesome again! really like his works. i don't mean to offend anyone but since i already started quite a bit of my own version of batman, i'm posting my wip of around 2 hrs and 30 min of work.

intervain: can't stop being amazed of your entries!

wonderful works everyone!!!

[eka]

DCflath - Mario is looking great

Kazmamurat - tight detail work on Groo, a bigger nose and a tapering the head might give it more of that Groo look

bryzol - nice curves

mafida - i like the clean sculpt

Intervain - good likeness of a very memorable character

Too many great sculpts to mention. Keep it up guys! This is a fun exercise. I think I might have gone too realistic with the TMNT sculpt. I have an hour to go so going to stylize it a bit and make it more recognizable.

[skullbeast]

Update

[AutopsySoldier]

capitan_popo that is one sick sculpt man!!

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

I'm loving the response to this challenge, i'm so impressed and glad with all of the sculpts you should all be very proud of your works, they are just stunning each and every one of them.

I myself still can't get my head around sculpting software properly, i've got mudbox and I find it initally very very easy to use, my problem is the anatomy side of things :(

If i was to make something i'd like to try Dick Dastardly or Clunk from the Stop the Pigeon series, or maybe Pigeon Street, anyone remember that?

still have half an hour, I'm not happy with folds on hat and the lack of smoothness on face ... though am not sure how to achieve those ...

here's what I got so far. It's about 3 hours.
It's kinda look like scoopy doo though.

*Still have an hour to go. :smug:

[disco stew]

yeah thats what i meant ordibble plop.
making something realistic.
not something toon
i guess i am getting the rules right.
question: will the toons be disqualified
i mean the ones that just look like an adapt from an comic
like a toon just turned into cg.
like hades from intervain?
i dont want to be a spoilsport to all who made toons.
just want to know

[Intervain]

yeah I'm curious myself hehe - might have to do another one if mine doesn't qualify :crazy: - it would suck though 'cause so far I've only seen 2% of realistic ones, the 98% left are all toons ...:haha:

disco stew::you mean like this?

[el.tintop]

beavis,yeah,that's what i'm workin on.and i think disco means this.the works have to be more like kazmamurats work.he is one of few who understood this challenge right,i think.please correct me if i`m wrong.

[bgen]

cheers for all the kind words for Cheetara and Caveman
i am really lovin this competition - just love it. even bought 2 Thundercat Dvd's cuz of it. :D

Here i go with my favorite Character from Naruto - Shikimaru - hope u like my work in progress. i am happy with his general shape but not his face yet. :lame:

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

It's how you want to interpret the sculpt, a cartoon is 2D, so just making it into 3D will be acceptable in my opinion, but also it would be great to see someone make a realistic counterpart aswell :)

CG.

[aby arty]

mafida sir cud u please share how u made the saiyan hair, iam having troubles with gohan .

[el.tintop]

but for sure the theme of the challenge is wrong then...Real-Life Cartoon. it's not called 2d into 3d cartoon.sorry.but for me it's okey, just wanted to clear this up.the next days i will post my first shots on beavis...so to everyone: have fun and sculpt. ;)

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

You're correct el.tintop but the reasoning behind that was because so many members have sculpted 3D representations, and I don't wan't them to be disallowed.

GREAT WORK

Hahaha I just smile when I see all cool sculpts all have done :).

Really great work, gonna try one of my own, thinking of the Gargoyle's leader or one of the "Mighty ducks" thing. Two movies form past childhood ^^.

[el.tintop]

yeah.great work kazmamurat.that's what the challenge is about.hell yeah...my favourite.

[bryzol]

Kazmamurat You are the king of this challenge. I am very imprest.

Here is my second 4 hours with model of Jessica Rabbit. This time it was a lot faster, and I could make some more detail. I have used one eye for eye and one for the hair :) I think I am happy with this one. I really starting to love zbrush. It is great tool for sculptors :D but you all know it for shure :)

Regards to all!

[Freespace-3DT]

Holy Jessica, that is awesome!

[bgen]

kazmamurat - ure are now one of the top artist i admire !!!!

u also made me (cuz of insparaion) change my sculpture "to bring out of my character Shikamaru" to my best abilitys now. I really like how mine turned out.

Here is my version of older Shikamaru of Naruto

[Freespace-3DT]

Naruto spoilers !!

Hey bgen, I like your Shikamaru. I wasn't very much interested with his character in the Manga, but ever since his battles with Akatsuki ( and that tragic event ) I've loved the way he acted.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Stunning sculpts! I'm in awe of you guys :)

CG.

[guhhh]

Here's Papa Smurf after 3 hours and 30 min of work, but I don't know how to make the beard look more hairy. I tryed with Scratch, Bulge, Pinch... how do you guys do the hair? I'm working in mudbox.

Thanx to everybody who commented on my entry:D
Skullbeast Mummra is lookiin awesome!!!
crapmeat Glad u liked it, the pink panther is lookin good as well, would try to make him a bit less cartoony in the time u have remaining though:)
Kazmamurat Incredible mr.incredible!! has turned into my favorite as well:D
M3n7h0le hahaha what an ugly dude that beavis guy is
Bryzol this time its lookin much better!! shes lookin hot!
Guhhh first johnny quest entry! see what u can add to it, already like it!
Bgen Nice third entry, would try to fix the hairline a bit though... lookin 2 stright, normally has hairs sticking out here and there

I was wondering if I could copy one of the sculpts I ahve made from one of the theeth objs, and delete the other one, what I mean is, Can I copy the already made sculpt from one of the teeth obj that I already worked on isntad of having to do it all over again with the other teeth obj since its basically the same I want to do with the both of them,and I would delete the other one

[xxandrejxx]

If i wasnt so lame at sculpting, I join too. But one cartoony character is too good :) and it missing in this challenge :), good sculpt skills guys ;-)

[Zerath]

Man guys! You are so awesome. Now help me out here. Even though I'm still waiting for my payday, to actually upgrade my computer (it's a pain to rotate even now, 180k polies!) but I'll try my best with this prehistoric junk anyway.
This is like my 3rd attempt at anything with Zbrush. I think this program hasn't EVER even heard the word user-friendly, not to mention easy-to-use. Hopefully something turns out.

Could you tell me the best way to do hard edges? I'm really strugling with those. But this sure is fun! After 1h and 15mins, this is what I got:

BAMF!
He sure needs his good ol' spice weasel.

[el.tintop]

5 minutes just to find proportions and to get into it.beavis...hehe...

[Honki]

hehehehe, I am cornholio.

[DemolishMan]

Ill make naruto tomorrow

[MonteCristo]

thanks friends,

I send it right now monte.

Thanks very much Kaz. That's very noble of you. :) This is a great shader. I like the fact that it hides nothing. In ZBrush, so much of sculpting is to do with balancing the defects with the details. This instantly shows up each for what they are. :)

Appreciated.

Hehe, your Smurf looks a bit scared, or shocked, Medusa. :) I think it's a bit tricky to achieve crisp hair in Mudbox, because you don't get the millions of polygons to work with that you have in Zbrush. So it's still a matter of using Scratch and Pinch in a smart efficient way. ;)

[nellemento]

Great work everyone,For the first cartoon sculpt i choose Kenshiro ,heres progress so far 1h:30 min I've just started sculpting hair...

[AA-ron]
