UnfluffyBunny · February 01, 2007, 12:14:42 PM

I pretty much just wanted to do the face, to try teeth, i'm partially happy with the result :P

aaaand just because I like making time lapse gifs :P
clicky

Verra nace. I really enjoyed Annihilation and am happy to see these characters coming to life.

Revenant · February 01, 2007, 04:15:29 PM

Great Hera that's nice!

thanoson · February 01, 2007, 07:12:58 PM

Thank you much. That looks nice, though a bit dark. Any way to lighten the colors a little?

Captain Pluto · February 01, 2007, 09:11:10 PM

seriously work of art :thumbup:

heh yeah I'll do that, gotto admit the body was kinda just thrown on, i'll go back and touch up the colours and some of the details (thats nasty looking belt :P ) but that'll have to wait till monday as me and Qwazy will be away for the weekend in Brighton ^_^ (leaving in about an hour)

detourne_me · February 02, 2007, 06:15:25 AM

VERRY Nice!
gotta admit though, i cant wait to kick the pooh outta this guy in the rumble room.

UnfluffyBunny · February 03, 2007, 10:56:53 AM

heh yeah, lets say gren's ronn mesh has had alot of use in my rumbleroom ;) I should get round to superskrull for a more fulfilling arse kicking ^_^

UnkoMan · February 03, 2007, 07:56:15 PM

I was going to say the body looks a bit "meh" to me, considering what I know of your skinning. You could do a much better job.

The face though, it looks great. The teeth are really killer, and it's totally meanacing. You'll have to touch up where neck meets body though.

Sledgehammer · February 04, 2007, 07:45:11 AM

Without a doubt, the face is top notch. Very expressive.

Personally, I like it quite a bit. Maybe the costume (especially in the belt area) could look a little bit simple if you compare it with such a detailed face. Again, I think this looks good. Considering that, a couple of modifications to the body may improve this. Perhaps this is what UnkoMan is talking about.

Highlights, maybe? I don't know. Take it as an advice from someone who's definitely NOT a skinner, so...

UnfluffyBunny · February 09, 2007, 02:18:36 PM

this guy's been alot of fun so far :)
anotomy looks odd because of a second pair of arms you cant see in this pic, and the ness of not being human I guess :P
Havent decided on his costume yet :unsure:

deanjo2000 · February 09, 2007, 02:56:01 PM

Some seriously excellent skinning here.
The detail on all of your newer stuff is just blowing my mind :thumbup:

UnfluffyBunny · February 09, 2007, 04:06:18 PM

heh ty ^_^
I made up my mind to stop being lazy and actually put some work into these things @_@
tho I should put some time aside to updating the damn website >_< lol
(side note, thanks again for all the comments on ravenous guys, the re-do of his costume is progressing and he's looking much less thrown together :P)

By which you mean skin and texture the entire body... AND THEN put a costume on top? You are insane. Tallented... but insane. :P

UnfluffyBunny · February 11, 2007, 03:28:46 AM

nooo... not insane.. >_>
on a relevent tangent, i have the upper body and arms done (musculature only) aaany suggestion for the legs (they're kinda minotaur shaped) or costume would be greatly appreciated :) I was considering using this as a starter point for a group of sci-fi arena fighters, so any input would be greatly appreciated :) (keep in mind upper body costume has to accomodate a smaller set of arms under the 2 main arms)

detourne_me · February 11, 2007, 03:55:49 AM

its hard to imagine why anyone would want to cover up that musculature.... so i have a suggestion that would keep the musculature prominent and tie-in with an arena fighter... how about black leather wrapping, that starts just under the pecs, and its like the little arms are sticking out through the wrappings... maybe take a look at beast's astonishing costume to see what i mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Beastastonishing.PNG

then he can also show off the lower portions of his legs too.

UnkoMan · February 11, 2007, 10:38:19 AM

Now that costume, I think looks retarded on Beast... but on this guy, it might work. I would say try to "gladiator" it up a bit. Maybe a strap across the chest, and a shoulder pad (I know you can mesh it), and some detailed armor plates over top of the leather and stuff.

Kitt Basher · February 12, 2007, 08:34:17 AM

I'm no one to provide advice on skinning or design, but a broken tooth or two on his right side would go geat with the scar tissue.

Deaths Jester · February 13, 2007, 08:15:09 AM

I say ye go for some medival styling...ye know partial breast plate (haha...I said breast...okay...yeah, it was lame) along with a metallic shoulder pad and armor down one..or two arms. If ye want other ideas for it...PM me, cause as we all know I've got a wide range of medival ideas.

UnfluffyBunny · February 24, 2007, 02:43:48 PM

Been waiting for so long to be able to skin this character :)

Influenced by both movie and anime versions :O

Time Lapse Link

the_ultimate_evil · February 24, 2007, 02:54:19 PM

ohh baby yes

Shazam · February 24, 2007, 02:57:27 PM

Ohh, is that Guyver?

konbiz · February 24, 2007, 03:13:34 PM

Looking awsome so far... If the body is skinned up to the same quality of the head I will be in awe of your skinning skills my friend.

Revenant · February 24, 2007, 03:23:17 PM

Great Caesar's Ghost, Oh my stars and garters, and holy detailed skin Batman!!!

He's never let us down yet :D
Love the gyver and you have made us proud :thumbup:

AfghanAnt · February 25, 2007, 08:25:20 AM

Everyone keeps saying gladiator costume when I want to see that guy in a bunny suit. Great work regardless.

Arilou Laleelay · February 25, 2007, 10:19:52 AM

Somebody fetch me a towel, I am dribblin' all over the place.

The detail on the Guyverhead is stunning. That brown monster is awesome too, looks like something out of Quake or sorts (?).

UnfluffyBunny · February 26, 2007, 03:58:44 PM

I'm not sold on how the chest is coming out, what do you guys think? is it working or should I start over?
(note I havent painted in the chest pipes yet)

[edit]
thought to throw in some closer shots so you can see better

lugaru · February 26, 2007, 06:15:39 PM

START IT OVER!

Nah, Im just kidding, no reason to at all. Actually I like the painted feel you are giving it and the texture is excelent. Im not sure exactly what is rubbing you the wrong way about how it looks so far but it's lost on dudes like me.

Revenant · February 26, 2007, 06:42:19 PM

I think it looks great syn, no need to start over. I might add some reflected light to the underside of those chest muscles, it looks like they are getting alot of overhead light, making the shadow very strong.
