I was reminiscing the other day over cool comics I’ve read and The Maxx popped up. Long story made short, I needed a model for my Advanced Animation course and decided to bust a rough model out of the Maxx…need him done and rigged by Wednesday so we will see how it goes…any ways here is the WIP, the hands definitely need work, as well as the texture and boots are on the way.

great start I have been a fan of Maxx since his inspection into Image universe.
I once collected the series they did of him each one was done by a different artist. I wish I knew where i put them at you should try to look em up there was some out standing concepts of him I believe each artist in Image at the time mad their own version.
good work man and hay it would nice to see your animation of him when it is done post it please.
Great start - looking forward to see the progress.
Oh i totally forgot about the Maxx. It looks awsome! Do more!!!
So…I’m close to being able to focus on refining the surfaces and texture then on to rigging. If i have time I will add his hat and coat and probably a couple Iz (those little black creatures that are all teeth) Here is a quick update. Any tips are always welcome. Hopefully I’ll be updating again soon. Thank you very much for the positive responses.

p.s. A refresher for those who may not remember the series

fun character - now that is one mean “one-finger” salute, heh
For sure. I enjoy characters with a bit of humor built into the design. Hats off to Sam Kieth. If I can do well on this one I’ve considered doing a few models based off of his art. I especially like his Wolverine.
Quick base for the IZ. Will continuously post updates. Also considering doing a couple other characters from the comic. C+C more than welcome
Almost ready to rig. Going to do one more pass then onto texture. C+C extremely welcome. Thank you ^^

Just finished setting up joints and controls for for my rig and about to add muscle and bone deformers. Here is a quick snapshot of my rig and the mesh topology. The normal map for the boots still needs a lot of work and hopefully will be able to get back into zbrush and do that over the weekend.

hey, love the progress!!! you did a killer job on the chest and front body muscles, my only thing is that the back muscles dont match the same quality, i think you should spend a little extra time defining them as well as the front…but otherwise its perfect dude!
ok as per my classmates critique. I’ve reworked the back a bit and I am trying to work on defining the surface texture a bit more. This is still very much a WIP so please any C&C is more than welcome.

It’s looking great! I was just thinking about doing the Maxx for a class assignment myself~
So it’s been tough to get time in to sculpt in between classes but here is my progress so far. Critique and Criticism very welcome!!! Thank you for all the support and positive responses
