MAJIN BUU - Dragon Ball Z

[Energise]

Hi Guys!

This is my latest work, the evil Majin Buu.

I have tried to sculpt him in his purest form (kid buuish) but yet a little more defined.

He was rendered out in lots of passes using only the renderer within ZB.

The rest of the pic is post done in photoshop

Hope you like!

incredible work! i really like the style, certainly makes him look more menacing.
any chance you could share what passes you used?

[YsenGrin]

hi! nice job! would you explain in how consist your render pass? Im planning to render my character only in zbrush too ass Im not as efficient in normal map and ssshader in max. Like the feel of the pict!

Nice work man,

Its difficult sculpting a realistic version of a cartoon, you really captured how evil he is. The face is great

Very impressive - one of the more unique character designs i have seen - never seen smoke holes before in a slight figure like this - awesome work!

Outstanding, I love it.

[Ichiban]

It came out pretty nicely. Good job on the comp, love the steam. Magnificent piece.

manzarek123: Thanks alot man! glad you like him!

AA-ron: Thanks! yeah wanted him look really evil :P
Of course, I have attached a little schematic at the bottom of the post!
Just ask if something is unclear

YsenGrin: Glad to help! Rendering out the passes was pretty easy, First of all I changed the start-up doc to my rendersize x2 since I rendered everything using AA half. Then I saved the character pose in Zapplink (make sure to save the view to disk in case of a crash), now it was just to render out the same pic over and over again with different materials and matcaps that looks pleasing on your sculpt! The hard part is composing all the layers into something cool hehe :P think I used about 60 different layers in total with filters and stuff.
hope it helps

Moni-Poroni: Guuten tag! Yepp I finally got around to do it :P
Whaat? Your homework is to go home and at least search for "kid buu" on youtube haha. thanks a lot! If it´s something cool like creatures then I´ll enter
