Action Hero - Sting Lady - hero (nudity)

[bryzol]

This is my concept of Action hero and the backstory. I hope someone will read this :)

Artist: Konrad Kielczykowski

She hang off the phone. The driver told her that he would come to pick her up in an hour. She knew very well how to prepare for this kind of meeting. She had many clients among invader's officers. Many become addictet to her. She made them think that only she can satisfy their needs of body and mind. They didn't realize that she was using them to get the information for the resistance. She felt that she was close to something big, and now he wanted to meet with her. She heard some about him from other officers. It was not his habit to meet woman like her and that was making her anxious...

...

After arriving the base, the driver showed her the way to a proper room. She opened the door, the room appeard to be empty. She faintly entered inside. Feeling of being observed gave her the creeps.
- What are you afraid of ?! - man's voice from behind her back scared her - I've heard that usually you are more self-confident... - she wanted to answer but he continued - Do you know why are you here, my dear?
- I could find at least one reason, General...- she smiled soucy.
- You can make men talk about everything you ask, can't you? Well then, I will tell you something.
It was all clear now, she was exposured... but why he met her in person, wouldn't it be just to give a suitable order?... General carried on:
- We are working on something special here in our underground labolatory, something that would shurely interest you. You were sniffing very close, but you would never find out the truth. Don't worry, I will show you everything... - he grabbed her neck and lifted her up - Were you ever thinking about improving your invidual talents, about being insuperable in your fields?? - He threw her with anger on the floor. She lost consciousness.

...

Horrible pain gripping her body woke her up. She felt that something is growing inside of her, she thought it would burst into pieces. Light in this place was blinding her. She couldn't move, her legs and arms was tied. She heard someone talking:
- Results are very promising General. We've never got so far before. We
are ready to go with carbon serum.
- What are you waiting for? Do it!
- Yes Sir!

...

Pain went away. She felt like she whould be oneness with the space around her. She couldn't see, at all event not like before the change, she just felt people and objects around her. The world seemed to be a lot different now. She heard General's voice:
- You wouldn't belive if you might see yourself. It is amazing that every patient mutates in a different way... Interestig, isn't it? The important thing is that you are the first one who outlived entire process. Naturally, you can't stay alive any longer, we must choose someone faithful to our cause now... It's time to say goodbye my dear.
Her senses grew keener rapidly. Unknown force took her body and mind in a possession. She felt like waching events from behind the glass. Only one thought was on her mind:
- Release me... Release me...
General started to behave strangely. Using one of the lab's computers, he deactivated force that was detaining her... One second later he was sticked on her sting - Interesting, isn't it General? - He fell down being paralyzed. His body was melting from inside... Next few hours was a sloughter. Nobody knew what hit them. She couldn't stop until she killed everyone in the base...

Powers:
- Telepathic Influence and Remote Hypnosis (works on male),
- Climbing walls, high speed of movement, very long jumps (parkour master),
- 360' environment vision.
- Sting in abdomen (with paralizing poison)
- Carbon body parts with hiden spikes on arms and legs.
- Stealth abilities.

[Moni-Poroni]

Oh...really cool...:tu: great story and great sketch
I love the pose with the tongue out :D
Best wishes

[wethand]

i have to say, my day was very disappointing.
so i'm sorry to be honest: im not motivated to read such an english text right now... :rolleyes:

buuut this concept sketch is DAMN NICE!
it looks soo nice! and a very nice charsheet... damn...

i'm looking forward to see this in 3d... damn.
nice

good luck and have fun!

[Jason Belec]

Not sure about the story, but the concept work is very close to something really good. The overall silhouette has issues in various areas, but close to being right, so it will take you some effort to finesse. The eyes are a little overpowering right off. Interesting work though... ;)

[maxinkuk]

It's an excellent backstory, but it's the very original design that I like most. That hairstyle and eyes are a splendid feature. I really look forward to see this character come up. Well done.

[Martin@PIXOLOGIC]

Wow, very creepy but amazing concept!!!

[Captain Sensible]

Hey great story and your sketch is awesome. I really like the arrangement of the eyes and the hair. Also the scales going right down her back into a tail. Top job! Good luck and looking forward to your progress :tu:

[gregoconn]

Really nice concepts. She has a lot of character and looks like she will be a great entry. Good luck!

[roborama]

really great concept! i can't wait to see the model for that. great start !

[Hamilcar]

great concept! nice twist on a black widow :tu:

[Y/Haüss]

Wuoaauuuu Maann!!!
This Sting must hurt...and kill!
I love the balance of the body.
Congratulations!!

[fluxist8070]

It's a combination of sexy and gross! very cool!

[SolidSnakexxx]

Love this sexy spidy.....design. Look forward to the sculpt :)

[dustbin1_uk]

Nice!! Very nice!! :tu::tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks for comments guys! I'am glad that you like the idea and the back story. Here is a little update. Screengrab with base mesh I've made. I hope I will find more time soon to scoulpt it...
baseMesh.jpg (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:zb_insimg%28%27121728%27,%27baseMesh.jpg%27,1 ,0%29)

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow the base is really beautiful. Was it done using the magic Zsphere then retop? As the lines are super clean. :tu: :tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks! You are right. I've used zSpheres but I don't like to work with zSpheres mesh so I've retopologysed it. I suspect to do it one more time later, in the end of scoulpting process.

[swankymonkey]

I really like your character design! I am looking forward to you next update.

[bryzol]

Thanks swankymonkey :)
Here is an update. Many misteakes yet, but I hope to eliminate them soon with a little help of this community. So please, criticize, criticize, criticize!

[spimmy]

Cool model, really the details so far! :tu:

Continue the good work.

[spimmy]

Sorry meant to say "really like the details so far". D'oh :)

[bryzol]

Thanks!

[Moni-Poroni]

hi bryzol... great update!
the proportions are looking good...
I really love her hands and the ears and the muscles :tu:
Best wishes..
I´m looking foward to see your next update...
BTW-I think you´re really fast:eek: :)

[bryzol]

Thanks moni, I've started scoulpting before posting base mesh, so I'm not as fast as it looks like ;)

[SolidSnakexxx]

Oh man...she's sexy....... :tu: :tu: Can my Mantis man get a date with her... :o

[bryzol]

SolidSnakexxx, your mantis man is looking great too, so there is a big chance that they will like each other ;)

[bryzol]

...she will be like insect too :D

[sazar26]

Wow that is a kool concept!!!!!! I love it. Idk Mantis man might have to fight over her with the Widow maker/Captain Hornet and Samurai Beetle

[Harmonic]

Hey this is looking great so far. I really like how you are, um handling the the breasts. :lol:

Few crits,
it looks to me like her breasts are a bit to low,
her rib cage is a bit to thin, at least for my taste.
And her torso is a bit to long.

Hope those help, cant wait to see more.

[wethand]

woah. nice progress!
the anatomy looks clean, i think.

keep it up. i like the concept very much and i want to see it in 3d!!

[bryzol]

sazar26 - I didn't want anybody to get fight here in the forum ;)
Harmonic - Thanks for those crits, I will try to handle breasts better :cool:
wethand - Thanks! I'am working on it...

[Seavannah]

wow I hate spiders but this one is just so sexy, awesome and awe inspiring not to mention your drawing skills and your modeling wow ohh wow. I am truly impressed with this if it was a comic I would read it. I love things that scare me so I really love this....Creepy.:eek: :lol: :eek:

[jp_smith]

Really solid proportions, nice work so far. Only inconsistency would be that the concept seems to be a little fleshier in the arms. I might give her a little more of a "cat eye" look (very comic book) by pulling the outer edge of the eye up a little. Cool stuff! :tu: :tu:

[bryzol]

Seavannah - Thanks for so kind words! I have to admit that I had an idea to draw backstory as a comic, but It whould take to much time so I decided to write it. Maybe I will do it in future.
jp_smith - Thanks man. I will think about it.

[bryzol]

Here is a little update. I've started to shape hair. As you see, there is a lot to do yet so I'm lookin forwart to any crits... :rolleyes:

[sazar26]

:eek::eek::eek: wow she is coming along very nice indeed, she looks very sexy nice job :tu::tu::tu:

[maxinkuk]

She's impressive. I love those sets of eyes, great concept. Body is very good, only think I feel not so in favour of is her abdomen with those six pack muscles so prominent. I'd see as more feminine to have a flat belly, even a slight rotundity actually.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow....my Mantis Man has got to secure a date with this vixen! :o Really beautiful.... :tu: :tu:

[wethand]

awesome! just nice! very close to the concept... if i can say that at this stage... anyway, excelent progress and nice anatomy, i think!

[bryzol]

sazar26 - Thanksfor kind words...
maxinkuk - You are wright about her abdomen, I will work this out :)
SolidSnakexxx - Ok! He's got it. They might kill fev criminals together after dinner or something.
wethand - Thanks man!

[hdrop]

Wow, she looks great! I like the way the mask and the hair work together in the design. Your design sketches are very nice as well.
There’s one thing I’m not sure about. Its the shape of the lower part of the ribcage. It seems to rounded to me and a bit to wide. But maybe its just the camera angle.

[dustbin1_uk]

Clean!! And looking amazing!! :D:tu:

[bryzol]

hdrop - I will look closer to ribcage problem soon. You may be right about that... thanks!
dustbin1_uk - thanks!

And a little hair update...


body12.jpg (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:zb_insimg%28%27122605%27,%27body12.jpg%27,1,0 %29)

[Drakelot]

Awesome headpiece !!! :tu:

[wethand]

sweet! i can't wait to see more

[Captain Sensible]

This is looking awesome already!

Is the eyepiece a mask or actually part of your characters' head? At the moment I see it separately but I thought it might be interesting to see it blended in more somehow. Especially in the hair area.

Keep up the good work! :tu:

[TheProCreator]

Looking great! I love the very "clean-and-tight" look. Your hard surfaces look awesome.

[luis2008]

nice. thats a really clean model. great job :D

[pitchepuck]

the mask is realy grate stuff! cool design! looking forwart....

[pepe48]

Doing a great job there!!! Congrats!!!

[petekasim]

Been meaning to comment on this for a little while!

From concept through to the sculpt so far (so clean and such lovely forms), this is great, great work all the way. Appealing character, my favorite female hero entry thus far :tu:

Keep going, this is going to be excellent :)

[Harmonic]

O man that is look so awesome! great work so far, this is clearly going to be fantastic when you get her finished. :tu:

[bryzol]

Thank you all for so kind words!! It is very motivating :D

Captain Sensible - it is a part of her body, but her body is a mix of human flash with carbon fibre, this is a kind of odd mutation ;-)

petekasim - thanks, you are very kind, I just came back from your thred :) I like it very much!

[digichu]

The face looks really interesting, sweet!!

[bryzol]

And the update of head's back side...

body13.jpg (javascript:zb_insimg('122688','body13.jpg',1,0))

[GregStrangis]

Awesome female hero you got going on here man! Super freakin clean too! Not much to crit about the body , everything looks good so far and im sure your going to be tweaking things as you go along. Her head is great as well. Keep it up :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Moni-Poroni]

Oh..she´s really beautifull!
and I love the barrette made of zspheres :tu: great idea...

[bryzol]

Another head update... I've retopologysed hair object and refined details, I think it's ready for this moment...

This model is looking very promising :tu:

[Hamilcar]

wow! looks great, I love the hair :tu: :tu:

[womball]

Amazing concept and great work so far. The eyes are really stunning. Never though I would think an insectoid person would be hot.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow, nice hair sculpt and the back eye. You are one monster sculptor, bryzol. Very beautiful :tu: :tu:

[luis2008]

nice very clean model. cant wait to see more

[bryzol]

Thanks you guys for those nice words.
Here is a little something I've just made. It needs some work yet, but I will do it latter, after finishing second jaw.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Nice update, bryzol......now the Sting Lady has got herself a set of teeth to chew on Chippy (Thanks, JP-Smith for the name), The Mantis man little buddy. :tu:

[bryzol]

I've made them specially for this reason ;-)

[jp_smith]

She's gonna eat Chip??? NOOOOOOOooooo! ;)

[bryzol]

It's a sacrifice of love ;-)

[Etcher]

Awesome concept art and sculpt!:tu: !

[bryzol]

Not much, but always somethnig... Here is lower jaw with tongue.

Very nice work bryzol. I love what you are doing with the teeth and tongue, had never thought of doing that in zbrush before.

[maxinkuk]

Great work on the mouth! :tu::tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks guys!
This is something funny that happend accidently :)

Dude that's awesome! :lol:

Great work on the teeth and tongue. you certainly did not skimp on them they look great!

[SolidSnakexxx]

Great set of teeth! and tongue :tu: and that's looking funny with the tongue hanging out of the mouth.. :lol:

[gang]

nice work man
loved the set of teeths

[threetails]

Freekynaughty! nice work there.

[bryzol]

Thanks for comments everyone!

I've started to make cloth for her. There is no detail yet, only the shape. Here are the screens. I will put here a movie with making of, for a while...

body20.jpg (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:zb_insimg%28%27123461%27,%27body20.jpg%27,1,0 %29)

[jp_smith]

Nice, very clean lines. I might pull the bottom of the bra section down a little bit, I would expect to see a nipple peeking out of the bottom the way it looks right now. Great work so far. :tu: :tu:

[pitchepuck]

did I say this is one of my favorites??? this is one of my favorites !!!! :D
love it

[Harmonic]

That is looking great! I love how you handled the lips and nose, so crisp and clean. :tu:

[SolidSnakexxx]

She's getting hotter and hotter... :o Just love at first sight! Very nice sculpt and :tu: :tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks for your feedback guys!
jp_smith - I wonted the bra section to be as small as possible, but maybe it should be a little wider, I will check it out.
Here are suit making-of movies...

[Captain Sensible]

Looking awesomer and awesomer. Is that a word? It is now!! :tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks! :D

[- FoOD -]

Very cool sculpt and character - :tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks

[wethand]

awesome progress! the sculpt looks very clean! and the costume fits her well! but the nipples are a must! ^^

[bryzol]

You mean I should show them through the suit??

[wethand]

i don't know how mutant she is but... yeeeah!!! do it!!! please! :P

no, it's your hero. but i think this would underline the thinness of such acostume.
just a little bit.... ....

anyway, very cool model!

[bryzol]

I was going to do that anyway :D There is still much detail to add to the suit, the nipples are one of them.

[Moni-Poroni]

great movies:tu: thanks for sharing them with us bryzol :)
she´s really beautiful. and I love her dress :)

[bryzol]

Thanks! It's a pleasure to share with you guys!

[hdrop]

Cool! Thank you for those videos. Very instructive!

[Etcher]

Great updates, thanx for sharing the videos :tu: !

[bryzol]

I'm glad that you like the movies and that they can be usefull. Thanks for comments.
Here is another update. The idea of heels is that they can hide or stick out if necessary. Hope you like it.

[fx81]

wow great model, very clean work :tu:
the proportions looks very pleasing too. the concept looks scary though :D
only critique is that the hand looks a bit small and fingers too skinny.

[nacho_grande]

It looks great! The head and the hair is a masterpiece, but overall figure is brilliant.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Nice full boy....finally shown.....she's so prettyyyyyy..... Very very sexy too :o Nothing less of your standard! :tu:

[BARON_3D]

WOWWW !!!!! Really beautiful model. :tu: :tu: :tu:

Best boots ever!!

[bryzol]

Thank you all. There is fev things to refine yet but I'a realy happy that you like it :D .
yosemie - Thanks!

fx81 - I agree about hands, I have to make them a little bit biger, I allways make them to small :confused:

nacho_grande - Thanks!

SolidSnakexxx - Thanks man, she is almost ready for engagement ;)

BARON_3D - Thanks man!

maxinkuk - thanks, I had a problem with boots, It took me quite long to find shape rewarding myself. I'm glad you like it!

[Captain Sensible]

Another great update. I'm really liking the style! :tu:

[Etcher]

Better and better!:tu: !

[bryzol]

Thanks guys!
I've made a base mesh for abdomen... I've used zspheres and retopo tools.

[GregStrangis]

Awesome! Looks really clean Bryzol as usual, looking forward to seeing the carbon fiber stinger :D

[maxinkuk]

Wow! Another fabulous element. I just went back to see the original concept and it's rally tremendous to see how faithful to it you've been throughout. This is coming out as a true masterpiece.

[bryzol]

Thanks guys! I'm realy happy that you like it :)

[simonblanc]

Cool design keep it up !!

[SolidSnakexxx]

Lovely addition, bryzol..she's getting more and more complete..and toward a full fledged...super heroine. :tu: :tu:

[dustbin1_uk]

Wow! this is awesome!! Very cool!

[bryzol]

A lot of kind words. Thank you all!

[luis2008]

nice. its looking pretty slick. a quick question on your videos. how did you only mask one side of the cloth after you retopoed it? that looked very useful. great videos and great model.

[bryzol]

Zbrush automaticly creates polygrups when you give thickness to new topology: one for outer surface, one for edge and one for iner surface. It was easy to hide outer surface when I had polygroups and to mask the surfaces that remained visible :)

[bryzol]

I didn't have to much time to work today. Just a quick skech of the final pose. What do you think about it??

XNsMTNt0pw4

[maxinkuk]

I think that it's a very good start but it needs some tweaking to add drama.

[Alliecat 08]

The head is looking good. I would hate to meet her in a dark alley. :D

[Hamilcar]

Great work in here, I love the concept and the model is looking hot! The pose looks good, nice and spider like, I guess I would have to see it with the abdomen and hair to really get a good sense of it tho. :tu: :tu:

[SolidSnakexxx]

I like the pose you are going for.. :) .but I like the concept sketch you have on the first page even more..with her tongue down and semi crouching....very sexy and unique. :tu:

[bryzol]

maxinkuk - You are right that it needs some tweaking yet but it's just a 5 min skech, I've made it just to check if the topology works good with transpose, but maybe I will use it as my final pose...

Alliecat 08 - Thanks!

Hamilcar - I'm working on abdomen now so you will be able to se it soon.

SolidSnakexxx - I will try the pose from sketch but I'm afraid that she is to much curl up there and that many of her detail will be hiden...

[jp_smith]

I have to agree with snake, I really like the crouching concept sketch with the tongue out it really speaks to the character's design much more than the pose test you did. :)

[bryzol]

I will make this pose to see if you both are right :) Thanks for comments guys!

[bryzol]

You know I have a problem with transpose master and multiple subtools. This is problem with masking, this trick shown in Action hero headquaters just doesn't work for me. When I use transpose line to mask a body patrt all other subtool are geting masked and I cant do anything with that.
I am wondering if I should project detail form cloth to a main body mesh and retopo it, and probably I will have to do it... Unless someone could helm me with that thing.

[skullbeast]

Use the lasso. or the box. I prefer the lasso.
That "click and drag" will mess up the mask on your subtools in transpose master.

[bryzol]

I think this is the only way... Thanks

[petekasim]

Hey bryzol!

Loving the updates, and I think that pose will look very cool applied to the character - kind of "predatory" :tu:

I think it's interesting that she's on tiptoes, not something I'd usually do, but I think it adds to her insect-like demeanour

I haven't used any transpose master so far, been constructing the subtools around the posed model... I may have to bite the bullet and jump in later when I want to tweak things, but I'm scared of trying it out....

Anyway, keep up the excellent work, I'll be watching :)

[maxinkuk]

To protect ovelapping subtools from accidental masking when in transpose master you can just hide them with shift+control+click, then do the masking and then bring them back. This because in transpose master each subtool is assigned an individual polygroup. Once you get the logic of working like that you can do every combination of completely and/or partially masked subtools very easily.

[bryzol]

Petekasim - Thanks man! I'm waching you too ;-)

Maxinkuk - Thanks for tips, it realy helped me out with transpose :)

Here is un update. I've connected the suit, boots and body and retopologysed it. Now it's in one piece and it was much easyer to transpose it.
So after long and unfair battle I have the POSE! Unfortunately I've lost two movies with transpose becouse of zBrush crashes, I have few minutes with begining and something from finishing. :( So what can I do to avoid disqualification??
Anyway here are the screens. There is a lot of mess with anathomy after transposing, but I will try to resculpt it now.
Comments are welcome!

[jack999]

That character is so amazing!. I love surreal art and this is crazy! Awsome.

[bryzol]

Thanks Jack :)

[luis2008]

Nice!! clean as always. this is looking really good. the only thing i can notice is that you should definitely show more of her teeth. Right now it looks like shes just sticking out her tongue, so its not very menacing. But, I'm sure you just havent gotten there yet. Great job so far :D

[jp_smith]

I disagree, I'm all about the tongue, that's what makes her so freaky looking, in fact i might make it even longer...I vote to keep the tongue out. :tu: :tu:

[hugoqueiroz]

good job. keep going.

take a look on the outside of the left knee seems to have a strange volume.

[Jason Belec]

Now that is starting to look very nice. You had a great vision and execution. I agree the tongue stays, but opening the mouth a bit, a la 'Gene Simmons' wouldn't hurt either! ;)

[luis2008]

exactly...thats what i meant...gene simmons...thanks jason.

genesimmons.jpg

definitely keep the tongue. only pull her lip up a little to see her fangs and a little more emotion

[Jason Belec]

Yes, well, I'm that old. Still have my Kiss Army card! ROFL ;)

[bryzol]

luis2008 , jp_smith, Jason Belec - Yes, the tongue stays, and yes I agree with you guys about Gene style tongue out! Thanks for reference foto :tu:

hugoqueiroz - Thanks, there is a lot more to take a look, this transpose messed up everything, anyhow it's a wonderful tool :)

[SolidSnakexxx]

Just love the tongue...I'm happy you are sticking with the tongue thing :tu: :tu: Really amazing pose!

[Moni-Poroni]

Great work! Beautiful and freaky pose! I love it

[maxinkuk]

Great pose, great attitude, great character, great design...great!

[robbiestyle]

man this is so messed up! I mean that in the best possible way :). great sculpt and pose. really nice work!

[*sparks]

Very cool man. Love the pose.

[spimmy]

Wow, that is sooooooo great, I love the character the pose, the details!! So slick, absolutely coolio dude! :cool: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Captain Sensible]

Man, that's really disturbing! But I love it!! The new pose looks much better. Much more fitting with her character :tu: :tu: :tu:

[bryzol]

Thank you all for kind words, this is very motivating. Thank you Snakesxxx for inducing me to do this pose. I'm pretty happy with it :-) here is a movie with transpose, at least some of it that I was able to save...

[fx81]

great progress here. i like this model a lot and the pose is looking good too.

the arm looks too skinny i think and the fingers are skinny too. also the whole arm looks a little short compared to the legs and rest of her body.

this ref could help:

[maxinkuk]

I actually enjoyed watching the movie. I even laughed with the topological masking of the breast. Great skill on display.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Great Vid there bryzol. Awesome work as usual...glad you go for this pose! :tu: :tu:

[Etcher]

That pose is so good! :tu: ! You're really bringing the impact of your sketch into the sculpt now.

Thanks guys!
fx81 - Thanks for crits.
maxinkuk - Masking breast was a pleasure ;)
Solidsnakexxx - You've maked me do this pose and I'm greatful :D
Etcher - Thanks!

[luis2008]

I forgot i asked you how you masked one side of the suit. I went back and read what you said. Thanks for the info :) keep up the great work

[bryzol]

No problem, I'm glad that I could help :)

[bryzol]

Can anybody tell me if I can use a photo reference to paint my textures?? I mean if I can use projection tool and photos to pait textures??

[jp_smith]

yes use zapplink, it's made for that kind of texture painting.

[Lucky_1]

jeeezz, missed another awesome piece again :o
Love the pose and tongue, gives her that animal/dog feeling ...awesome job !

Keep it up

[threetails]

this pose is great, and the vid shows off transpose very well, nice work, i like this concept alot, i really want to see this one done.

[maxinkuk]

You can also use the ZProject brush with only RGB active.
First you load a plane with a texture, then you load your character and at this point you go in edit mode. At this point you select one of the transposing modes, Move, Scale or Rotate and you draw the transposing line from where you want to paint to where you want to clone the colour from, then you switch to Draw and select the Zproject brush and there you clone the texture just as you'd do with the clone tool in Photoshop.

[bryzol]

jp_smith, maxinkuk - thanks for answer guys, I just wasn't shure if I have to paint it manualy or I can use a photo with project tool. That will help me a lot. Thanks again.
Threetails - Thanks for nice words, I hope I will be able to finish iton time :)
Lucky - Thanks man!

[N8]

wow she is looking great and scary! great tail btw.

[snoopalu]

very Hawt

[Martin@PIXOLOGIC]

Great video!!

[gordon-v]

yes grate video! thanks for sharing

[bryzol]

Thanks guys! Hope to update soon...

[bryzol]

This was hard week for me but luckly I've found few ours today to make some progres. Here is the screen. I've worked a while with her mouth (luis, thanks for reference, it was very usefull) and some other refaining. Hope you like it. Any crits are welcome :)

[pitchepuck]

I love it !!!!!!! :D

[DAnconia]

I would give her a tongue like venom or a forked tongue like a snake. great sculpt. Super clean.

[jp_smith]

That's awesome, I think you should leave the tongue human, but I'd give her longer fangs and some longer claw-like nails...amazing pose! :tu: :tu:

[skullbeast]

subtle and bold at the same time! well done! I like it just the way it is. change nothing.

[SolidSnakexxx]

The expression is perfect! The tongue's so well..sculpted... She's got lot of character! :tu: :tu:

[Etcher]

Very impressive, another great update! Keep 'em comin'! :tu: !

Super Cool. the natural breast, hand and tongue are spot on.
Love the spider costume.

[*Light*]

Very good!

Are you going to make human colour tounge? If I were you I would make her tounger black or brown colour. Like this.

[bryzol]

Thank you very much for compliments. I think This will be the final tongue pose. I will only add some super detail while polypainting later. Now I have to finish abdomen, make a pedestal, add gloves and other little things.
Here are vidoes from working progres:

[petekasim]

Damn, Bryzol!

This is excellent!

That pose is so lifelike and expressive, what a scary bitch she is!

Well done and keep going, I'm loving this thread! :tu:

[SOLcreator]

bryzol, outstanding sculpt! :tu:

[zeke3d]

very nice work, beware though of making her hand too crumply.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Watching your transpose vids is one the enjoyable things to do. Very nice work as usual bryzol :tu:

[zeke3d]

let me elaborate a bit on what I mentioned before, I like this piece, but try making her hands in a more feminine/sexy pose. I bet it will do wonders for your entry!

[Drakelot]

Fantastic transpose video ... xcellent work and model !!! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Captain Sensible]

Superb! Btw what is the matcap you are using?

[luis2008]

yeeeeeahh!! thats what im talkin about. i officially have a new favorite ;) it looks really good. keep it up

[wethand]

wow! very impressive! nice model

[bryzol]

*Light* - I was rather thinking about human color tongue, but I might try your idea.

SOLcreator - Thanks!
petekasim - Thanks :lol:

zeke3d - You are right about making hands crumply but I don't know if I will change the pose... I will try to play with it if I will have enought time later.

SolidSnakexxx - Thanks man I'm glad you like it.

Drakelot - Thank you too :)

Captain Sensible - Thanks! I think I've found this matcap in matcap repository thread, but I don't remeber precisely.

luis2008 - Wow! Thanks man!

wethand - Thank you!Thank you all for being so kind. I didn't expect that when I was opening my thread here in the contest. It's very motivating!

[hal8999]

WoW Impressive work: my Compliments! Good Job.
Mattia

[Nene]

Amazing work !!
I really dig your delicate modeling and good touch
Also thanks for the videos its always good to see master sculptor at his work :)
btw it really is a nice matcap you are using, think you can share it ?
Looking forward to see your updates...

[Moni-Poroni]

Very cool movies.. I´ll watch them again:) .
I love the pose :tu:
creepy creepy creepy..and so amazing!

[Jason Belec]

Well if your character doesn't win the contest, I think she will still have a future in many markets. (wink wink) And will probably make it to the Zbrush all time hall of fame. Your way of working is also very entertaining and I'm glad you showed that to many people, options are the spice of life. ;)

[bryzol]

hal8999 - Thank you!

Nene - Thanks, I'm glad that you like my videos. I think that the matcap I'm useing is downloaded from matcap repository here on zbrush central, I am not an author of it, but I will post a link to it today later. I hope that the author don't mind.

Moni-Poroni - Cool that you lik it! Thanks! ...and sorry for the gitar thing ;-) Now I see it's a violin :tu:

Jason Belec - Thank you man! Just don't know what to say, this are very nice words from you! Whould be great if I could print SL and sell it :)

I didn't have time to sculpt for last few days but I'm back and I hope I will finish her on time. I will try to focus on SL only now. Updates will come later today ;-)

[threetails]

looking great, i think it one of the most original characters and the pose is solid. like it alot.

[Jason Belec]

bryzol, when you're done we can help you get a model output to a figure. I'm in the process of collecting several of mine together for that purpose and quite a few people on the forum have gone that route - it's so cool to hold something you made, so cool! ;)

I want one of yours!!!!

[bryzol]

Thanks threetails, your character is very oryginal too, and I love it!
Jason it whould be great if you could help me with that! Thanks man!

[bryzol]

Allright, here is my polypaint begining... As you can see, the hands are not painted yet, but I wanted to show you what I've got and hear your opinion. I'm not happy with tongue yet and the suit need some painting too. For now the suit have only one color with its own material. I've used self made materials (not matcaps) so they can respond to light setup. There still is a bit to sculpt yet too.
C&C are welcome!

[Moni-Poroni]

Ohwooooooooooo bryzol...AWESOME !!!!

Love the colour and the gloss of the eyes!!! The tongue looks fantastic too!
Congratulation! Top piece!!!

[bryzol]

And here is a skin matcap I was useing before polypainting.

[pitchepuck]

I love her :D

[tez]

Realy nice job you done here, superb modeling. Thankyou for this Matcap, I will find this very helpfull.

[threetails]

pure art, really well done, love those materials.

[Etcher]

So beautiful. :tu: !

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow, she's ever more beautiful.... :o The paint job is top notch! And thank you for sharing the material...Very kind of you.

[bryzol]

Thanks for all kind words! I'm hapy that you like it. No problem with sharing the material, as I said I think I've found it here in zebrush central. Thanks goes to athor:tu:

[spimmy]

Stunning work!!! Really love this character, the colours chosen are really cool!! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks Spimmy. And here is just another render...

She's phenomenal, very, very unique. And you're a great artist.

[- FoOD -]

Shes looking very cool - really like the pose :D:tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks guys!

[SolidSnakexxx]

Really beautiful render.....and the material for her spidy eyes is just wonderful. :o :tu: :tu:

[Captain Sensible]

Great update! She's really coming to life. I'm not sure if it's just the angle of your render, but is there some weird deformation on the back of that shoulder? The painting and materials are brilliant btw!:tu:

[bryzol]

Thanks Snakex, Captain you are right, as I said I need to sculpt a bit yet :confused:

[pitchepuck]

rrrrrrrrrrr... she is sooooooooooooooooo sexy :D
one of my favorites!

[Etcher]

Can't wait to see more! :tu: !

[Malleable man]

Outstanding!

I dont know how you will be able to create a final render that catches her from every angle. I would say its a shame because she is remarkable from every angle.

Quality sculpt and workflow.

My top five personal favs.

Regards, James.

[bryzol]

Thanks for all kindness guys! Malleable man, the only thing I can do is a turnable movie ;) Thanks again for nice words!

Here is a little update. I'm playing around with light and rendering setup but I still have to finish her abdomen, ade her nails, fix right hand and arm and many more odd things. The time is running so fast now :mad: ... and the base is so poor yet :eek:

[monstermaker]

This is very cool. I like it a lot!

[petekasim]

Just brilliant work Bryzol, she's looking stunning with those materials so don't worry:tu:

Good luck between now and Friday

[SolidSnakexxx]

She's looking fantastic from all views.....My Mantis Man told me...he's willing to be stung..by Sting Lady .anyday :o

[jp_smith]

Great job on the materials and rendering...the hair looks kind of dry though, I'd expect it to have more of a silky sheen to it...also the eyes might be too dark, they don't pop out like I'd think they should. Great progress man. :)

[wethand]

.... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :tu:

[Harmonic]

The skin looks fantastic, what material is that? Great work, keep at it! :tu:

[Captain Sensible]

Superb! I really like those renders. I wish mine looked half as good:o

[bryzol]

monstermaker - Thank you!
petekasim - Thanks man, but I realy feal the preasure now :)
SolidSnakexxx - Thanks and don't wory, he will be :D
jp_smith - Thank you. The hair are the pain in my "back" ;-) And I will corect eyes color when I will be ready with lights, the color is changing depending on that.
wethand - :)
Harmonic - Thanks man, I've made the material by myself. I recomend you all lighting and rendering in zBrush by digital-tutors, ther is a lot about material setings etc...
Captain Sensible - Thank you man, Your renders ar looking very good too!

A little update. What do you think about the tattoo??

[Etcher]

Nice updates! I like the tat, although, stylistically, it's different from the one you drew on your sketches (I liked that style as well).
Might wanna do some testing on the tongue thickness and width (if you can find the time), it's quite a bit of a mouthfull right now (tongue was a bit sleeker on the sketch. Anyways, me again, giving comments on a sculpt I wouldn't be ble to make, so: apologies.

Great work! :tu:

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow....I like her tattoo a lot..I'm a huge fan of tattoo...(I'm a tattoo mania as I'm having all my top torso tattooed) Really awesome work! She's now my desktop wallpaper :o

[spimmy]

Wow, she is looking awesome!!:eek: The render is looking Fantastic and the Tattoo is just wicked!! :cool: :tu: :tu: , Great work and looking forward to seeing the final version!!:tu:

[henrysouth]

love the toonshader stylized look of it man! and the design for the tat is cool but i think embossing it and bluring those edges out a touch even adding a bit more blue would definately help with it. maybe just going over your tattoo lines with a touch of noise would help. love the pose love the tonge!! it could even be longer! wrapping round whatever shes going to be holding maybe, that would be both awesome and gross.

[nacho_grande]

My absolute favourite character in the contest. I am so eager to see the final piece. No need to say anything about the lighting and other presentation stuff yet, because I am pretty sure that you will handle them with care.

[Alliecat 08]

Very impressive. Looking realistic. Good job.

[Captain Sensible]

Again really great work. Looking forward to seeing her with her stinger aswell. I think the tattoo could be darker and stand out more. I like the rose design. I'm a tattoo freak too ;)

[Harmonic]

Looking so good! Digital tutors huh, I have never been a fan of there vids but I might have to check that one out, that is some beautiful material and lighting work! I am not a huge fan of the tattoo, I find it a bit dis tracing.

[bryzol]

Etcher - thanksfor your notices, I will take attention to it if I will have some time left in the end. Now I have to finish the abdomen, I just started to make it from the begining so working hard now to finish it on time...

SolidSnakexxx - Thanks man, I'm glad you still like it. I've just finished refining the tattoo so I will make another render of it especialy for you ;-)
By the way, do you design your tattoos??

spimmy - Thanks man, I'm so close to the final and simultaneusly so for from it :confused:

henrysouth - Thank, I just have finished refining the tattoo and your comments about it are very close to what I've done. I will show it for a while.

nacho_grande - Thank you very much. I hope I will not disappoint your expectations ;-)

Alliecat 08 - Thanks!

Captain Sensible - Thanks. The tattoo is darker now, I will post it for a while, I'm happy that you like the design of it :)

Harmonic - Thanks for comment! I think it's worth to check this DT video ("materials and rendering"), I've learned a lot within few hours.

[threetails]

looking wonderful. some of the best sculpting in this contest. subtle forms soft features that have to be right, good color and skin tone, your nailing it. this is one of the sculpts that i want to see finished the most.

[Hamilcar]

love it:tu::tu: love the hard light in the renders:)

[SolidSnakexxx]

Yes, I designed my own tattoo...now I look a bit like a Yakuza (Oriental style tattoo) :o

[tokio]

I like tattoo your design it 's math with your character
and
your character she is so sexy :tu::) i love very much

[bryzol]

threetails - Thanks man! I realy apreciate it and I want to see it finished too ;)

Hamilcar - Thanks! I want to go in this direction with lighting.

SolidSnakexxx - Great! I think that if I whould want to make a tatto it whould have to be my desing too.

tokio - Thank you very much.

Here are some little updates. I've made this B&W foto just for fun. There is a wallpaper version of it but I will upload it latter. Hope you like it.

Definitely one of my favourites.;) Awesome work!!!!
The tattoo is so cool!
And really funny that you and Yong had the same idea with the bloody pic.
Lol :)
Let me know if Sting-Lady + Mantis-Man have their babys. Would love to see them. ;) Creepy cute babys. :)
Ok.. bryzol- again: Your work is superclean and supercool. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Agostinuke]

gasp!

[spimmy]

Love the photographic image of her!! :tu: :tu: I really like this character alot, awesome!!:cool:

[bryzol]

Can you belive this?? I do not have a internet connection since 11AM (GMT +1) - F..K! even now! Provider said that they should solve the problem today maybe tomorow! F..K again! I'm useing my neighbour computer now, it''s very onerous:mad: . If I whould be an Action hero I whould kill someone:evil:

Anyhow, thanks for kind words guys, I'm very happy that you like my SL :)
Snakex it's unbeliveable! B&W foto + blood + time coordination :lol: :lol: :lol: It's trully their destiny to be a couple :lol: :lol: :lol:

Visiting my nighbour again :)
I just have made this Blair Wich style picture. What do you think about it??
I'm ready with turnable and I'm rendering final images now but it will take a while so I will be here soon again ;)

body42_oldStyleWallPaper.jpg

[SolidSnakexxx]

She's now Yong's desktop wall paper for months to come... :tu: :tu: Yeah the two--Sting Lady/Mantis Man are destine to be couple for certain..hehehe

[BillyT]

i'd like to see her rendered out with something other than a full black background, don't get to see all the detail put into the tail end of the model, with most of the final renders you can't tell that she even has a tail. but the model is awesome. one of my favs
