3D Jam #4: Mr. Burns - pitchepuck

[pitchepuck]

hi folks!
this is my entry on cghub.
I try to make the great mr. monti burns!
I will do him like a real human. that means no carecature or comic. I´ll try to translate his expressions and character into an old man´s face.

Awesome job! It's always fun to see a 2D cartoon character become a real life human being (or the closest thing to it). Keep it up!

[daugaard47]

I saw this over at CGhub and thought It was a great idea. Will definitely keep an eye on this one. Good start so far. If I had a crit. I would say longer nose.
Best of luck in the Challenge!

[n-drew]

this is very good :tu:
its very very hard to get a "cheap" 2d cartoon character to 3d with details. you captured him very well.

[Bas Mazur]

Yep, it's him! Nice work!

[handlebar]

Excellent.

[soulty666]

lol. thats looks great. its nice to see realistic cartoon characters

[soulty666]

nice work

[Moni-Poroni]

Hehehe..:D:tu: nice work so far, Martin!

[Mikademius]

That's amazing! You captured his evilness spot on. Don't forget to rotate his pinkies up for max effect :)

[H-bomb]

great job so far:tu:

[Morph Division]

that is really creepy :tu:

[pitchepuck]

I´m ill ... so I did not much. a little on his glothes.
thanks!

[karmajf]

Its turning into an amazing piece, wish you a fast recovery so you can show us more updates. :D Cheers

[schiefer]

:D haha he is great! excellent likeness

[Al.Tintop]

this will definitly turn out great. keep it up. and get fit :)

[SinisterUrge]

Awesome, made me smile when I saw it. He looks so creepy and evil, but in a fun sort of way.

[Mikademius]

After viewing the reference up against your sculpt back and forth it made me thinking. Burns has a massive upper lip which you can not re-create in the sculpt of course. But... what if you rotate his teeth to point inwards instead of outwards to emphesize the lip feeling. You might gain a bit more of the character by doing so...

[Intervain]

just great - really looks mean and I like the realistic take on him :)

[pitchepuck]

thanks folks !!! I´m glad you like it. I did some stuff on the clothes. folds and other gedöns (german word) :D

[tobbeo]

Great adaptation! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

[Train22]

Looks great! Like the realistic look on him :D

[VinceRizzi]

I like this! Well done. It's a nice interpretation of burns.

[pitchepuck]

thanks for the comments!
I did some texturing and the base. and I know that there is still alot to do. I´m not happy yet :confused:

[threetails]

pitchepuck, nice work on Mr burns. nice to see you it coming together.

[Mikademius]

Looking great :)

I think you need to work a bit on his attitude/ pose. He is a bit hunched in the comics and if you add this to your character he will look so much more like him.

[cmoffitt]

Haha very nice, Martin. If he stepped out of the tv and into reality, I'm pretty sure this is what we'd see.

[Etcher]

Great take on Burns! This is going to be very creepy-spinechillin'... :) :tu: .

[pitchepuck]

hey camaron ! thanks!
and thanks for all gomments!
here an update of the head. I did some work on the texture and folds and everything :confused: the material is not final! I will render this in max.

[SadamHu]

Watch your type on the reactor, its getting lost. Maybe you could pull it out by making it BURN into the reactor.

[pitchepuck]

thanks sadam. yes that was the plan. this base was not final

[pitchepuck]

this is the final Mr Burns. hope you enjoy it :)

[manzarek123]

Woooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!, : O !! incredible! just incredible! Matt Groening should see this!! amazing :tu::tu::tu:

[Wildsketch]

That's hilarious. And you really have captured the essence of the character. Though if I may point out two small things.

1. Why are his pinkys abnormally short? Is it because he is based on a cartoon character that was drawn with only 4 digits? Or do you really want his hands to look a little deformed?

2. The warts or moles on his head are a great deal redder than warts or moles typically are.

Overall this is a very good sculpt, and I am amazed at how you transformed a familiar 2d character, not just into 3d, but into a somewhat realistic character. Once I recognized him I really had to laugh.

[BillyT]

simply amazing, except for that short pinky, but i love it.

[SolidSnakexxx]

LOL :D You have captured the spirit of Mr. Burns

[tokio]

beautiful + great sculpt like the realistic look on him

[pitchepuck]

hey, thanks! I´m glad you like it. I worked till 5 (german time) in the morning to get it ready on time :confused:
it´s funny with the pinky... I didn´t realised this before. they are not too short... but unfortunately on the pics they look like this... I don´t know why :confused:
they are spread in the opposed direction than the other fingers. maybe that´s the reason?

[Aliasfx]

Such a wonderful idea to bring mr Burns to life in more realistic way . Well done my friend , only one thing, you should break the symetry on the fingers position to give it more life and realisme in the pose, otherwise excellent job !!!!!!!

EXCELLLENTTT hehehehehe :) Smeeethersssssss....

[MaxAlbert]

Nice!!! I really like the grayscale version.

[writh]

eeexcelent

[Etcher]

Great final! Creepy awesomness; very, very impressive sculpting; the detail on the closeups blew me away... :cool: :tu: good luck man!

[parasite74]

this is so nice, gratz!
I can hear Smithers' voice telling him "nice posture, sir!" :D

[Lucky_1]

hehe, Excellent work !

[pitchepuck]

[Al.Tintop]

[Beneto]

Awesome! He is easily recognizable as Mr Burns, and believable as a real human.

Well done :tu:

(blending/scattering that sharp line of hairs on the side of his head could help with the realism. It looks a bit like doll hairs now.)

[dustinbrown]

Haha....eeeexcellent work. Funny stuff.

[EricShawn]

Excellent... ! :lol:

[Sebcesoir]

Damn man, I havent seen the begining of the thread, but I could recognise him at first sight....:cool:
