Action Hero – Dr. Root

[Crotalis]

Your sketch is fantastic! I like that he's a little gritteir than your typical Eco-oriented super character. I always hated Captain Planet! I can't wait to see the base mesh stage for this one!

Thanks everyone! Here's a small update.

Solid Snakexxx- Thanks a lot! I hope I can translate the same look into zbrush.

Red Republik - Thanks, Jeff. I'm thinking he will be hurdling over something with one hand pointed to the ground and it will be open with vines and roots pouring out to meet the ground. Like he's extended to meet the ground in a "pole vault" sort of way. The other arm might be out in front of him attacking someone or something.

weirya - Thanks for the link! Yes, that poor guy was part of my inspiration. Freaky as hell, though.

Very professional looking sketch and I bet all those roots will be fun to model.

Really really sick concept sketch !!!

[SolidSnakexxx]

The base mesh is looking good so far. I can already see the future of this base mesh to be the relentless Dr. Root...

This will be awesome to see in 3d. Great concept art. Looking forward to seeing this come to life.

Hey there, I looooove your concept drawing and can't wait to see where this one goes. Well done!

[cmoffitt]

Thanks Pluie, SolidSnakexxx, jeffmeckley, Seavannah and jar3d! I got a couple more hours in on the base mesh. I'm really starting to like zspheres. I'm amazed at how easy they are to use.

mantegra - thanks! I'm looking forward to doing all the roots for sure.

If your model comes out half as good as your sketch, it will be quite a contender in this contest. Look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Solid start so far. Can't wait to see more. He is going to be so sweet with all the roots an little detail from your sketch.

[skullbeast]

Some good progress. "the root of all evil" he he.

[Malleable man]

Regards, James.

The modeling of Dr. Root is awesome so far..and I dig the Green matcap you chose to display him as well almost like a rim green glow to him. Awesome
