@ Ares: Thank you so much for that great response! It was really kind of you, and it’s nice to know that my work did not go unnoticed amidst all of the talent here on Zbrushcentral! :slight_smile: Again, thank you so much!

@ hmphhh: Though I think you are right about the groin (his deltoids are covered by the poncho), I think it really sucks to give feedback in such a manner… Especially considering the fact that there has been a wip thread up for the past 2 weeks in which I was asking for crits regarding proportional and anatomical issues.

If you have something to say, please be civilized about it. To me just leaving a comment like “his nose is too big” or “his cranium needs to bulge out more” and not saying anything else seems a little rude… But, that might just be me.

Anyways, here’s Burke! Ronin’s nemesis. Just roughing him out at the moment.

He’ll be a lot more ape/gorilla-like. I am definitely going for Hulk-esque proportions on this guy.

Sorry you took it that way - certainly wasn’t meant to be rude. On second looks, I can see that my comment is perhaps a little dry, so I don’t mind shouldering (no pun intended) the blame for you getting the ‘wrong end of the stick’. :lol:

Regarding the deltoids, it looks like there is virtually no mass beneath the poncho - certainly not enough to be commensurate with his chest and biceps. That is the first, jarring thought that leaps out at me everytime I view your otherwise interesting character.

I hadn’t seen your previous W.I.P thread, but have took the time to have a look now. Watching your YouTube clip gave views of his deltoids from different angles. That clip has reinforced my opinion that his deltoids are way too small, which is further exacerbated by his biceps appearing to be all ‘belly’ with no insertion/origin. Somebody else commenting in your W.I.P thread pointed out problems with his forearm anatomy - good, constructive advice that you don’t appear to have heeded.

Anyway, good luck, and it would be interesting to see you address these fundamental issues.

@ hmphhh: Sorry if I misunderstood your initial post. Please, don’t get me wrong! I will definitely adjust the model(s) according to all the feedback I get (if justified) once I have the time. Currently, I have to have this ready as part of a homework assignment (which is due tomorrow).

I will make the adjustments people suggested after it is handed in, as I get to work on the actual animation and refinement of the characters over the duration of the semester.

Here is a more current version of Burke (Ronin’s rival):

I like these models, and been following ronin from it’s starts, but I can’t help but fantasize of a better polypaint :slight_smile: Perhaps if it was rendered in a 3D package…

#11

Thanks Cherub_Rock! I’m glad you’ve been reading up :slight_smile: It’s been getting a little lonely in this thread.

I’ll definitely clean up the textures after I hand this in for homework. I guess this will have to do for now :slight_smile:

Here’s “finished” Burke btw:

Hey everyone!

I just uploaded a quick turnaround of Burke:

(Damn YouTube for making my videos so dark!)

Will add a fancy intro and outro once I finish Ronin’s turntable (which should be tomorrow).

Let me know what you think!

I just uploaded the finished version of both Burke and Ronin’s animated turntables:

Please take a look and let me know what you think!

Just superb… did you model the rifle as well? In Zbrush?

#16

Thank you!

The riflle and pistols were both modeled in MAX :slight_smile: I still need to work on using the new hard-surface brushes in 3.5. Can’t wait to mess around with those though!

#17

Here are the first two shots of one of three sets. This will be a church btw.

The lighting is getting there, the set is still very much a wip.

i like your characters…very nice but pose of the small guy seems just a little bit odd due to position of arm holding cigar…Keep it up

#19

yea pretty funky characters…very good job…Well done matey.

#20

Thank you! I definitely agree that he looks a little funky in that pose in general. I’ll fix that :slight_smile: This render was more so about the preliminary lighting though, so I didn’t take a lot of in care in posing the characters.

Thank you kindly! :slight_smile:

#21

Slight Update

Here’s a quick render with volume light, color correction and film grain. This will be the palette and tone for the film.

I’m hoping to replicate that Western-look :slight_smile:

Here’s a newer render of Burke:

Great Work,

Are these concepts your designs? or your just doing the sculpting?

#24

Thank you very much! And yes, they are my own designs :slight_smile:
