JGavin - Army Of One - The Dark Legion

JGavin · 11-12-2009, 04:28 AM

About time I start this competition. Here's some zsketchs for my first post. I'm working primarily on the helmet and backpack at the moment, as these will be the most important elements for my character. Currently I'm liking the bottom right one the most, let me know what you guys things. More to come soon including some drawings.

Looks pretty good so far dude, I like the bottom right as well. Keep up the good work.

Mr.fE · 11-12-2009, 10:00 AM

all helmets look badass!
I guess the difference will be in the whole armor...but I'm for the top right!

JGavin · 11-12-2009, 07:28 PM

thanks guys.

These pieces will be the only primary parts of the armor, other than knee pads and such.

JGavin · 17-12-2009, 06:51 PM

I'm goin with the bottom right one

JGavin · 17-12-2009, 10:00 PM

I'm not sure if I like any of these guns I sketched. Might try something a little different.

JGavin · 18-12-2009, 12:27 AM

heres closer to what I want. Reworking it in Max now.

VinsanityV20 · 18-12-2009, 02:04 AM

wow, really cool

I like the idea of an suit/armored guy - giving me Dark Void/Rocketeer kinda vibe. Which, by the way, there aren't enough heroes like that, so that's cool.

How's your Zbrush workflow work btw? If you don't mind me asking. I'm using Zbrush 3.1 for the first time in this comp, and I don't know how to do very detailed things with Zspheres, so I'm currently detailing up the low poly mesh old-school in 3ds Max. How do you get more detailed meshes out of Zspheres? Does it have something to do with Adaptive Skins?

Sorry if I'm prodding too much

I just wanna pick up some good knowledge from this comp. I am looking forward to seeing some more of this guy

JGavin · 18-12-2009, 02:43 AM

@VinsanityV20- Thanks, yeah I love the newest zbrush. Your still using 3.1?? Pick up 3.5R3 asap. It's a free upgrade and they added so much new stuff. Especially the polish brush, zsketch, and the form brush.

I build VERY little from scratch inside of max now. Because its so much faster to build it quickly in zbrush and then just trace over it in max.

Good luck, and enjoy 3.5

Mr.fE · 18-12-2009, 08:51 AM

wow I'd love to try the new zSpheres... but I'm a mac user...

JGavin · 20-12-2009, 07:10 PM

JGavin · 20-12-2009, 09:12 PM

Tarik2d · 20-12-2009, 09:15 PM

Looking good JGavin, I like the design of the character. Like the detal on is back

Mr.fE · 21-12-2009, 08:55 AM

JGavin · 22-12-2009, 08:41 PM
