[wdcstudios]

This is great it reminds me of the guy from dune.

[Sebcesoir]

waw fabulous!

[mradamw]

awesome!

[nickz]

Great character and a great sculpt! I really like you r work!

Thanks for sharing - NickZ.

[Intervain]

yep great sculpting and modeling. I'd concentrate on the boots a bit more, they seem to be lacking attention in comparison to the rest of the model. Still, great job overall.

[Disco Stu]

really nice sculpting finish this guy up and ill help send him to the toprow stars

[Kupo]

wow...really appreciated for all the kind words
u guys really encourge me to keep improving..
thx a lot for comments...i will take it:D
cheers
Jason

[Super Glitcher]

Kupo! Kupo!

;) :tu: :tu: :tu:

[alexleia]

amazing work! love the face
Alex Oliver

[Kupo]

yep great sculpting and modeling. I'd concentrate on the boots a bit more, they seem to be lacking attention in comparison to the rest of the model. Still, great job overall.hey..thx
i agree with u ...
original idea is that i want to demostrate straight modeling combine with digital sculpting...so i sculpt the body and just pure modeling the accessories....but i think i will go back to revision every model when i finish all of them...so for now...i leave it as that...;)
thx again
Jason

[rodion vlasov]

amazing work,top row stuff.:D :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Lucky_1]

Love it !

Thanks

[vladiseco]

Nice work!! I think that this guy should have more chubby hands, according with his body... and maybe change his face expression a little, more like the original concept!

Keep it up!!:tu:

[davide]

Nice character!

[goldo_O]

That is just gorgeous! :) 5 stars!

[Kupo]

That is just gorgeous! :) 5 stars!Thx man
i really love ur DWIII entry...outstanding piece
keep up:D

[womball]

This is awesome! I think he should be holding a giant fork or spoon though. A 2 handed version!

[MouthforWar]

This piece is done very well. Nice and organic. His hands look great and I like how much fat you put around his neck area. How do you keep the crispness of his suit in zbrush? are you adding edgeloops so the subdiv levels wont soften it out or is there another way? Nice work!

[Ivanperezayala]

Good, good, good, very clean your work, congratulations. Plas plas :cool:

[alancamara]

Great work, very interesting design. Congrats!

[Kupo]

about the suit...no...i didn't touch it in zbrush...it 's been entirely modeled in maya..all in one piece....it's really fun to do this one;)
thx
Jason

[Kupo]

Thx for all ur kind words man...:D
good luck
Jason

[Kupo]

This is awesome! I think he should be holding a giant fork or spoon though. A 2 handed version!sounds intresting.....maybe i can give it a try this weekend
thx
Jason

[aesis412]

wow just saw this amazing character man.

[odaiko]

Nice work man

[Kupo]

Hi guys
finally i decided to take this thread as my work-in-progress for my 08 character/creature portfolio...
so...this is the soldier i am currently woking on.....as u can see....he is still in a rough stage...
i got the suit design inspired a lot from GOW/UTIII/Starcraft2 Marine....but hey..i won't just copy that....i want to create something on my own...but still need some time to figure it out...damn...i am suck at design--
as i just have other models going on at the same time..so the progress on this one would be damn slow...and i am going to fully textured and shaded this guy....so.....be patient....this thread still got a long way to go..
anyway...hope u guys like it and comments are always welcome
thx
Jason

[skinnybonez]

patiently waiting :)

can't wait to see what you come up with. it's looking pretty amazing right now.

[siamak_cgm]

COOL! nice job man! i like this character! i can't wait to see more work from you!! just keep working great!!:tu::tu::tu::tu::tu:

[brettSinclair]

Fantastic sculpting.

Love the heavy, I agree about the boots having less detail though. The hands and over all form are great!

The marine looks promising. Armour is difficult to design on your own eh? You can never make up your mind what you want to do. hehe.

I love the face on both pieces.

Cheers
Brett

[Kupo]

thx for all the kind words man...

[Sinzalot]

Fat guy reminds me of Baron Harkonnen from Dune, just without all the skin problem and body sores. The model looks really well balanced, it all fits together. Nice job!

AniMan:thx man

mahesh kumar:thx man

[piz]

Cool Character again Kupo!!! Obviously I love the Hair Style... :D

[Say again]

It's like looking Bill Sienkiewicz's characters in 3D. Unvelievable. So good! Thanks.

[dread_companion]

You did mention u based the floating fat man on some guy's concept. Well HE based it on the infamous Baron Harkonnen - You should look David Lynch's version up. I like that one the most. Such a disgusting vile creature. But who can resist loving his zit-ful rotten face?!
I dig your Sam & Twitch a lot, the only thing is that I think the connection between Sam's head and his body needs some work. Not to say that the stylization of McFarlane's cartoony style shouldn't be present, but at least it should be functional. There's something about the complete lack of neck that is making that section feel a bit awkward to me. All thing said, great work! :D :tu:

[Kupo]

piz:thx man

Say again:thx...and i have checked the guy u say...really awsome art indeed:D

dread_companion:for the floating dude..actually...i don't know who is Baron Harkonnen at first...so i just love the concept art and i ask to do it;)
for the problem on Sam...i can see what u say....but it looks ok to me ...i think it's up to everyone's eye..maybe i am a little blind already on that dude:D

by the way....here is the final highpoly sculpt of the Twitch....and i going to build a game version also...so......more update soon;)
Jason
twitch04.jpg

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Man!!!...Twitch is way cool...so much personality in your chars.

You have to animate this guy..hehehe.

[piz]

Really Great Kupo! I like very much the loooong guns idea and always your mood! :tu:

[Intervain]

awesome job Jason! [the hair feels a bit thick on ends but otherwise wicked:tu: ]

[Stephenrminkin]

Do you have plans to animated these characters? Keep up the great work:)

[fabianloing]

Yesss updatesss!! Amazing work as alwaysss buddy!! :D Really loving the Twitch so much...!! I agree with some of the comments above...i think you should definitely animate them! I will be looking forward for more updates dude!

-Fabian

[spaceboy412]

what dread companion means is that sam and twitch, or ashley woods work for that matter is a rip off of bill sienkiewicz, the main influnence for both of these characters can be seen in elektra:assassin, this is why i could never get into wood's work, maybe when he finds his own voice. nice sculpting i do have to say, too bad though.

[wizz]

Awesome :eek:

[Kupo]

DimitrisLiatsos:Thx dude...about animating this guy...i think i will ruin it
piz:thx man...really glad
Intervain:thx..nice to have ur comment
Stephenrminkin:absolutely no plan for animating
fabianloing:thx man....i am gald u like him...more updates soon for sure
spaceboy412:mmmmmmm.............
wizz:thx thx dude

[GaryHuangart]

you absolutely did a good job for this update. keep moving ~

[NGVever]

Cool,nice work for update.I like it.
Keep UP.:tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[nellement]

Great work man! :tu:

[rarukufan]

I really like everything about this piece. Excellent stylization. Curious, why did you use Mudbox for certain aspects and used ZBrush for others? Was it a difference in feature sets or brush behavior that made one more suited for the task at hand or just a matter of comfort or choosing on a whim?

[Kupo]

GaryHuangart:thx bro;)
NGVever:thx man
nellement:thx man
rarukufan:thx buddy...i use both of them on my work..i use mudbox for overall form cos i found myself work quick and comfortable with it than zbrush.....and zbrush can handle more polycounts than mud on same computer...so i use it for detail work...even more...for texture paint:D

and....not much....but finally got something to show to u guys
a female anatomy study...nothing special...sorry;)
for the cut hands and legs...cos i didn't touch them yet:D
hope u guys like it
Jason
female01.jpg

[ncollings]

very cute :), i especially like the torso and the face !

i was wondering something tho, is it a coincidence or intentional that your choice of characters are quite similar to those from Yong Hyun Kim (http://www.yonghyunkim.com/organic.htm#)? ( i mean Sam and Twitch, now the asian girl ) Nothing wrong with it, your models look awesome :tu: i just wondering ;)

[monkeymuscle]

No need to call a brother out ncollins. these are comic book characers. Ashely wood works or rip offs heheh! i f you red the earlier post. great execution on the sculpts! at least its not another hulk/green orc hellboy lol. nice job dude!

[khalavi]

Great body of work!
Love the female sculpt :tu: :tu:

[Kupo]

ncollings:thx man..haha...u found my sercet....Yong Hyun Kim is the one modeler/digital scuptor i really love(his work;) )..but don't get me wrong...i don't copy his work...i am learning from him...i really shock by his work at first glance...so much life and natural looking ....that's what i want to achieve:D
monkeymuscle:thx buddy:D
khalavi:thx man...still lots area to fix...more to come;)

[ncollings]

Kupo: :D Yong Hyun Kim is one of my favourite modeler too , i know that you don't copy etc.. i was just wondering if you had choosen consciously the same model as him or not. I was just curious about it, no big deal :tu: Love your works kupo, keep them coming :p looking forward to see an update on the female !

[TJX]

Excellent characters. Are you planning on texturing your characters or will your demo reel just showcase your sculpting/modelling skills?

[Kupo]

ncollings:thx man...update soon;)
TJX:thx dude..at the end i will have one or two(at least one:D ) are fully textured and shaded and well rendered character....so...keep watching man;)

[Kupo]

hi
this is a character i am doodling on for some days now
a little sculpting on to find the shape...everything is still rough(as u can see the box hands..:D )
and for now i don't really sure what kind of final result would be...but i will figure it out..at the end...i hope;)
so suggestions are really appreciated:D
take care

[kontur]

Excellent stuff here. Top row well deserved :)

[Kupo]

brettSinclair:thx man...
abyss103:thx man...nice point out
kontur:thx :D
OK....i am back with a little update

and onre more thing...i am not sculpt in zbrush right now....but i still want to complete this thread with final website present...so if u guys don't mind...i will keep posting... ;)
