Earthquake

[Kotelnikoff]

Hi,
I finished an old project while playing with zbrush 4R2, thought I will share it here.

I miss his tattoos http://media.strategywiki.org/images/7/7c/SS_Earthquake.png

Excelent job. Where was it rendered?

Can u PLEASE talk about the skin texture? (mini tut, hint, anything?) I loved it.

Top row.

great job!! digging the proportions and paint job...your fav chr?

[Eraserhead]

Excellent shapes and design. Love the silhouette!

[julien3d]

nice model!, also i really like the shader the wax skin shader, can you tell us a little bit more about this shader?
i'm missing his tattoos also, i don't recognise his weapon is it from a new samsho? did you try a bigger head?

[Kotelnikoff]

thx for your comment guys,
about the skin shader I used the standard skin-matcap

And I used this set up for the wax preview

Basicly my render is a screen grab of my Zbrush preview.
I am not quit familliar with the BPR renderer yet. If any of you have a good set up for make nice BPR render I take it !

Cyberjoke, you damn right, I will add the tatoos! but I want make them less retro, I dont know yet , I will design new tatoos more 2011 like with the samourai spirit
SketchZombie, Yeap its one of my favorite character in term of design, game play is another story, its a difficult character to handle ! I go usually for the classic Haomaru.
julien3d, I know the real weapon is missing but I felt like he need some more heavy weapon to help him generating earthquakes. in the first concept he had a temple roof on his right shoulder.

very cool character!!! can't wait to see it more developed

[Guedin]

Great model as usual ! I love the proportions and his facial expression.

Great volumes. I'm guessing Earthquake is not a vegetarian.

[milivoj_popovic]

Awesome work! Tnx for sharing the skin setup!

[Kotelnikoff]

Thank you all for your comment and feedback, I really appreciate, I kept on working on the large man.
Here is the last update with a couple of tweak on the textures.
I also play around with the light cap.

[Kotelnikoff]

Tiny update, minor tweak on the lighting

[cyberjobe]

I wish consoles had the power to render a realtime image like this 30fps. Samurai showdown XXX, they should hire you.

Any chance you model kubiri Basara? :P

[Kotelnikoff]

Yeah me too I like a lot Basara, another amazing character,
It can be awesome to remake him as well but I am on another project more sexy.

About Earthquake I just did some minor tweak on shading,
It's like in any good video game, the longer is not the creation itself, its the polish





Thanks for Playing
