Action Hero - ONE

[nerveink]

looking pretty sweet!

[SolidSnakexxx]

I like the poses you are designing. It'd be cool to see him aflame with partial human flesh.

[Harmonic]

nerveink Thanks!

SolidSnakexxx thanks! Yes it will be cool to see him all aflame, I can't wait! But still so much to do!

I took my favorite sketch and worked on the energetic and flame elements in the background. I feel like I have a fairly clear idea of where I am going now. So back to modeling!

Comments and Crtis welcome

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow, I just love your "set" design...it looks like Tibetan's statue or something...very very cool

[maxinkuk]

Pretty powerful stuff. Have you worked out yet how to use that in a 3d scene? Will those elements form the base with the character standing on it or will it be a drop set, or sparse elements floating or any other vision?

[Harmonic]

Hey SolidSnakexxx, thanks man your positive comments are very encouraging. I have been really enjoying a piece of buddhist art at my office lately, It is something I am planing to study more. But I will definitely take that as a compliment.

maxinkuk thanks, that is a very good question. I have a fairly good Idea of how am planing to approach this. All of those forms are going to be behind him. Hopefully a little ways behind so you can see his back. As far as getting it printed goes. I am thinking that the spiral of fire will connect him to the base and to all the background elements, which will all be intersections each other somehow. I hope that is possible, I need to research this 3d printing thing a bit more.

Sweet concept, I am interested in how you're going to do the fire elements (looking like fire and all)?

[dustbin1_uk]

Woah! Nutty character!

VERY nice work on the anatomy! I'm bright green with envy!

[Fractalbot]

wow that looks nice. Can't wait to see how you sculpt the set!

[Harmonic]

Hey Fess Thanks! I am planing to make the fire very styleized. But I am going to have to to some experimenting. I am going to start on it today, hope to have something to post tonight.

dustbin1_uk Thanks! I recently got Zach Petrocs anatomy model, and I cant tell you how helpful it has been, by far the best anatomy resource I have come by.
Are you going to inter, I loved your entry in scared silly last year. I think we where the only ones who did poop jokes. You should get in on this action!

Fractalbot Thanks! I am planing to start on the set tonight, I can't wait to see How I do it too!

Oh I'm in on this one!

I did set up a thread, but as it did not have a concept drawing in the first post it was suspended.

So I'm just getting a concept together now and will post up at some point today or tomorrow.

No poop jokes this year though! LOL

[Harmonic]

Hey dustbin1_uk, looking forward to seing your entry. To bad about the poop jokes though

I got started on a few of the other elements.
Both made from Zspheres.
I used the z project brush to project an old head onto the ring in the back. ZProject is really sweet, a bit buggy though. The faces will be completely re sculpted with flames all over them.

[DAnconia]

WOW! THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC!! Really liking it so far!

[mantegra]

A very interesting design you got there. I have never sculpted flames before so that does sound like it might be tricky to pull off. I look forward to seeing how you do it. Nice one.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow....(I've been using a lot of wow in your thread) the backdrop for the character's just......grande. Love your creative use of the ZSphere...making this like I've stated before a holy relic or statue. Simply amazing!
