Action Hero - Villian Kouri

[ISK-86]

Taken from a old story i once wrote: . Frostbite I .

In a cold world hostile to sapiens kin, a loneley figure walks in the snow

His poor figure only hides the great powers inside him: He is the one choosen by the nucleus to be the one who gives birth to the new sun. So, he has the gift and curse of ethereal life, being not dead, but still not alive.
Centuries have made him cunning and ever-conspirator, being capable to ruin an entire civilization.

Kouri was first seen in the great city of stone walking in the snow with no other cover than his mere skin, and with no memories other than the white desert. His hands were greatly wounded but still he was alive, and he sowed no damage by the cold. He was quickly taken as a frostbitten god.

The city ended under command of Kouri, and soon he was ascended to great priest. Henceforth, he had the honor to talk directly with the nucleus.

The Nucleus instantly recognized his kin and told Kouri all his past and all his probable futures, and gave him orders to give birth to the second sun.

Kouri Fled from the city of stone taking the nucleus with him and let the city die under the attacks of the barbarians.

His abilities come from the nucleus, being the new "Carrier of the nucleus" give him the power of omnsicience, infinite strength, and a scorching touch that turns anything that he desires into ashes.

. I have been writing this story sicne 2002, but I never figured out if kouri was a hero destied to redeem the earth or an ally of the polluted, i leave this to your precious minds .

Thx... it's the firs time i use a forum.... (internet and I not good friends)

[ISK-86]

Starting with the basic Zspheres head... planning on retopo it later

[SolidSnakexxx]

Cool story.....I think you've been fleshing out ideas for quite sometime! So it's quite well distilled. Look forward for more.

[ISK-86]

Thx SolidSnakexxx... that's the way I like to make stories.... Frostbite is a story that has taken me a lot of time... I have another similar story named "Verkelt" but it was not suitable for this contest, been plotting it since i was a kid...


Finishing the face.... the topology is a mess but I don't care as long as I have retopo

[ISK-86]

The glasses.... and the sweet re-topology











Kourii until now : )

Hey buddy! Welcome to the forum!

Progress looking good!

Friendly suggestions:
Careful not to over inflate the head too much. Sharpen up the detailing around the ears.

Nice concept, great progress and looking forward to seeing more!!

[ISK-86]

Thanks dustbin1_uk, it's true... i have to work a little more the ears






Here's the Zspheres body (i make a lot of subtools cuz my laptop is reeeaaaally slow... cant wait to get into the school's pc's), finished the main figure of the body, i proceed to make the arms.

Finally decided the final pose for him

This is my first work in the forum (maybe my first "International" work)

Iv'e played with zbrush since June and I'm very exited about what this little piece of software can do

I want to ask you, 3d Inmortals, a big favour: Help me learn

[ISK-86]

The legs, Zspheres, and after a quick brushing, the boots

[SolidSnakexxx]

Looks like the model's been progressing very fast. I'd definitely recheck some more on the nose and the lips areas a bit more, I'm certain you can tune up and make it great.

May be you should start low (lower than the first post-in red wax material) as you will find that at the lower resolution you can gain a lot more control over the entire shape... Sometimes, for me, when I started out at high level, the original shape of that high level tends to dictate the outcome and look like blobs.

Other than that I can see you are utilizing the ZSphere quite well, and I'm looking forward for more stuff posted. Keep up the work and good luck .

I agree, even if your character is ment to have a characatured style it should have good anatomy to support its form, your nearly there i think you just need to sweetin it up a little and match the quality of your hard surface modeling of the glasses, look forward to seeing your progress.

[ISK-86]

I think this is better : ) some major anatomic corrections and he es ready now for transpose

[ISK-86]

The final pose.... i cant upload the =?)# vid... think i'll upload it later....





And the sword : )
