He-Man (MOTU) !!WIP!!

[A.Ceylan]

Update at Post#6

Hi,

in my spare-time I work on a re-design of the well-known comic-hero, He-Man.
I hope not to dissapoint the one or the other MOTU-fan.
But now there's still plenty of time to point out mistakes and other suggestions for improvement, before I start the retopology and subsequently the texturing process.

So, time for crits & comments!

Before you take me apart, just for note, I still have to do hair and fur, but that I'll do in Maya via alpha-planes or so...

The sword hasn't been touched yet neither.

And last but not least, unfortunately I couldn't display everything in it's highest Sub-D level, so only the highlighted ones are in it's highest resolution.

But enough talking, here some WIP-shots

































Hope, you like it ...

cool but a couple things his feet are to small for his body and his legs look stumpy

[daugaard47]

I agree about the legs. Maybe make a little longer. I'm curious to see the hair fur process. This is something I'm currently trying to learn. Please post you process if you have a chance. The face kinda looks like movie He-Man rather cartoon He-man. Over all he looks bad ass. Love how the sword is coming. I cant wait to see how this turn out. YOU HAVE THE POWER!!!

Legs are ruining the model imho, that is caused by the boots being too tight, and generally making him look like double-amputee version of pirate Captain Silver.

And leg positon - should be adjusted as well.

[A.Ceylan]

Thanks guys for the suggestions so far.

For now I reshaped his legs, made them a notch thinner and the feet wider and bigger. I also adjusted their position a lil' bit. The loincloth, his lips and ears are also reworked.

Would appreciate further c&c's ...

[A.Ceylan]

Thanks for the c&c so far.

Some major updates (mainly on his face and proportions).





















Please don't mind the feet now. Since they're covered, I barely touched them.










Further crits & comments are welcome ...


And one little poll:

Some people would really love to see him with He-Man's classic hair-style, who else is for that traditional hair-cut?

BTW, sorry for the double-post.

[MudboxRules]

Is it just me or do he-man's calf muscles in that last picture look like testicles?

Nice work.

[grom]

his head should be larger.

[A.Ceylan]

Here some proportion-updates of his face and body.
Unfortunately I don't have much time to spend on this model.

BTW, he'll get a new outfit aswell. I'm working on another design already.



















Thanks for the c&c so far ...

WoW!

I can't wait to see this in an Iconic He-Man Pose.

[mjolnir]

the detail is looking nice, but i think you have his head too small. even for a man of his size. it throws off the image.

Hi,

a small Update.

Armor and weapons haven't been sculpted yet only blocked out. Will do it later (am pretty busy at the moment).























... I only fooled around at the following picture ...



Cya,

Really nice sculpt man. Great new take on the costume and nice anatomy. That axe on the leg is really strange though, and not very functional-looking. You've obviously put a lot of thought into this sculpt, so don't upset it by slapping a 200 lb. axe into a simple strap on his upper thigh. Really throws off the rest of the great work.

[A.Ceylan]

Yeah, I'm gonna change that strap on his leg but I'd love to have the axe in that area. I might do a 'double strapped'-belt-thing but don't know yet. Would appreciate any ideas though ...
