Samurai Character Water Arm Test - 01
Well, I am no longer required to be working on the samurai character, but I find myself compelled to finish she/him/ it, the character really doesn’t have a gender as it is more elemental than anything. Anyway, I’ve started to work on water arm concepts for its left arm within RealFlow. I...

This week has been something of a depressing week. I’ve used most of my time this week trying to figure out why Zbrush was doing weird stuff with the geometry when I subdivide. This process can be seen in my images, s4f1 - f4 .jpgs. This week, F3 has the original geometry that I was working through...

I did a lot of work on the helmet. Although about 4 hours were lost because I forgot to uncheck the smart divide - in order to keep the hard edges for the seams on my objects. - Once it’s divided the mesh changes and it’s almost impossible to get the vertices back together. It basically creates...

Well I’ve added more detail to the samurai. I’m happy with the way it’s shaping up. I like working on the rock / earth elemental arm - it’s very organic - unlike the rigid armor. I checked out the link that for the iShowU, It looks like it’s going to work. Hopefully I’ll...

I finally made it into Zbrush. Only to find out that my version on my Mac doesn’t support exporting to a video. That would’ve been nice to know 2 hours ago. Anyway - Moving on. - I updated the legs, they are not as square, I think you (the viewer) should be starting to get a good idea of...

Well, I’ve modified my initial model a bit more to give it more of a warrior look and not so much of a child’s toy feel. I referenced Juggernaught and Incredible Hulk for the proportions on the upper body, I didn’t want the bottom part of the body to be quite as large as they are pretty...

Ok, So this is my complete designer stage. From the beginning of this process of concept to model, I knew that I was not going to actually need a color palette because I am just going to be modeling and detailing this character. Texturing and coloring will be later. However, I do understand the complete...

I’ve updated my samurai concept a bit and he’s going to be a samurai with elemental arms. I’ve also included a color palette w/in the image of what the concept is going for. I think it’s pretty good to what I have in my mind for how it’s really going to look - except for...
