Tessai: from Ninja Scroll

[king_p]

hey guyz,

just started this for whatever reason, will probably finish it i think, going for a more realistic look to this cartoon character, w.i.p

heres a pic from the cartoon so u know what he looks like

[DAnconia]

Looking good. I would give him a longer chin area and squeeze his head together just a tad. Ill be keeping an eye on this one for sure. He is one of my favorite anime villians.

They are actually making a movie of this at Warner Brothers. It doesnt have a script yet, but they acquired the rights just recently. Hopefully they dont try to make it too commercial. Although i dont think they will have as much sex and violence in it. I think this would easily be a good fit for Tarantino.

Keep up the good work.

nice interpretation!

and hey... i think, i know this anime...
this was a film... soo long ago... what was its name? (i just remember, it was one of the rare cartoons, i loved)
something with a ninja... it was damn brutal... ^^

or am i wrong?


HAHAHAHA; just saw, the title IS the title... :P

[mkk316]

That is looking really good so far. Only thing I would suggest is to give him more jagged and flattened surfaces, just to give more the effect he's made of rock. You are probably gonna do that anyways. But it's looking solid so far. no pun intended. heh.

I think your reinterpretation is good.

[mad_frankie]

Looking good, be interested to see where you take it from here

[king_p]

hey guyz,

heres update


DAnconia: thanx for the advice mate, i squashed the face together a bit, think i might need to do it a bit more though and elongated the chin slightly, and yeah i heard bout a movie in the works, fingers crossed, but i think we both know it will get screwed up

wethand: LOL!, nah ur right, ninja scroll , ta mate

mkk316: yeah, thats kind of where im up to atm i think, i just dont want him to look too alien i guess, if im right, its only his skin that turns to rock, ill try some stuff on a layer and post it up, its gonna b tricky to get what i want, thanx for the reply

billrobertson42, mad_frankie: thanx guyz

[polyguns]

awsome subject matter. great sculpt too

slap a toon shader on him

[3DNoobish]

that's great stuff!! he's looking great! i think his name's tesai.. the stone skinned guy with the big blade.

keep it up!

[king_p]

hey guyz,

thanx for all ur comments, heres a quick render of model with some texture, think im gonna leave this 1 here for the moment, think its time to make an original character for once, might finish this some other time, later.
