Action Hero - Gorgonna

[AVTPro]

Really nice helmet and head dress.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Nice update..I like when all the tools combined. Very cool use of primitives and masking as well

[Marsyas]

Just been refining and polishing stuff for the most part. Took me a long time to figure out a satisfactory way to clean up the metal areas to my liking. I've got a method now which seems to work okay. I'll try to go into it if I have time.



Retopos for the torso and head:





---------------------

maxinkuk: Thanks! I used to go through a lot of zsphere acrobatics to make hands but now I find that the simplest solution is easiest (I can always retopo later anyway). Also, I'm going for a more tentacle-type tail now (kinda influenced by Doc Ock's tentacles in Spiderman 2).

Harmonic: Thanks!

gregoconn: Thanks! I wrestle with hard edge stuff still too. It's taking me a long time to polish.

AVTPro: Thank you!

SolidSnakexxx: Thanks!

You achieved a solid topology there. Looking forward for more progress on this one.

[sirquadalot]

Excellent use of Zbrush! Looking forward to your finished sculpt.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Really nice retop work there, Marsyas. The Gorgonna's going to be one gorgeous entry.

[maxinkuk]

That's a wonderful retopo-job. Topology made with love. Do you find retopology relaxing? I do sometimes actually.

[Hex0254]

Man I real like the armor... it's like Gladiator meets Stargate. Keep up the great work.

[jp_smith]

Very solid, clean sculpt and wonderful design, I love it.

[Marsyas]

Progress was pretty slow this week. Did a retopo and cleanup on her arms and started the stinger. There's a good chance I might not finish by the deadline but I'll try to finish anyway.





Turned to good ole' Z2 for the stinger:



---------------------

skullbeast, Moni-Poroni, nacho_grande, sirquadalot, SolidSnakexxx, Hex0254, jp_smith: Thanks all for the encouraging words!

maxinkuk: Thanks! Retopo-ing is fun until I hit snags and the brain cloud takes over...

[SolidSnakexxx]

Nice Stinger.. I like the creative use of ZSphere to create the cool stuff. and your Retopo work's amazing.

[Harmonic]

Wow beautiful retopo work. Ah good old Z2 back in the day when the box modeling tools worked.

[Moni-Poroni]

Fantastic work indeed ! I love the way you´ve used the Zspheres for the stinger
