Metal Gear Solid - Big Boss (WIP)

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hey everyone!

I remember my very first attempt at making a Zculpture, and it was actually a Big Boss portrait that I made from the demo head. Now, a few years later, I wanted to return to Big Boss and make a cool bust.

The base mesh was made in MAX and I’m still at the very early stages of Zculpting :slight_smile:

As of now, I pretty much have him roughed out and started a bit of detailing on his face. More progress screens will be up soon! :slight_smile:

Please let me know what you think so far! Crits would be great at this point!

nice work, man,it looks like a bad guy ,hehe.But there are missing someting,man’s Sculpture a bit stiff :smiley:

Thank you for the feedback! :slight_smile: Big Boss sort of was a bad guy :stuck_out_tongue: Well at some point in the Metal Gear timeline anyways.

The sculpture is a bit stiff because I plan on posing him MAX afterwards. I just did a couple of really rough test renders of the model with some really sloppy normal maps and lighting. But I hope you get the idea :slight_smile:

So the next few days I’ll spend on detailing the model, creating his accessories (armor, radio, ear-piece, CQC gear. etc) and polypainting the textures. So that I can render out the final bust in MAX.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks! :slight_smile: I’m glad that you get my process :stuck_out_tongue: It’s a little awkward, I just stink at posing with transpose master :S

Here are some more shots:

I am currently just creating basemeshes for his accessories in MAX so that I can detail them in Zbrush in addition to cleaning up the actual Big Boss mesh :slight_smile:

Let me know what you think!

Thank you very much! :slight_smile: It is my favorite video game series as well and Big Boss is definitely the coolest character ever.

I’ll definitely post some more updates soon! :slight_smile: (Nice work in your thread btw!)

After about a week of not touching it, I decided to do a bit of texturing today. Here are two test renders (all of the texture work was on Big Boss’ face, bandana, body and hair):

not bad so far, the skin is looking really plasticy now, oh and unless that is a small tool for cleaning fingernails, the knife on his chest is way small and unintemidating, the handle is hardly or as thick as one of his fingers.
