Sumea Challenge #8 - Tojo - CH#10

wah, the mighty tojo is here,
fan of your work man.

this competition is gonna be a hell of a lot interesting
look forward to your entry

cheers

Haha, very cool concept man. I dig the physique and all the various old west elements you've incorporated into the design. Good luck!

Awesome concept dude. I like the hand warning near the blades, thought it was a good touch.
The firey fists are great, and it gives the character their 'special' move or ability. Looking forward to seeing this one in 3D for sure!

I love your style.

Looking forward to seeing this one.

Scott.

This design is the shit.

Love the branding irons on the fists.

Highly creative. Conveys a real sense of power.

Love this guys head - similar styling and exagerations to your last entry I think. Look forward to seeing how it turns out dude [:)]

Haha that looks fantastic! i can't wait to see this one fleshed out.

seconded! good luck with the comp mate

if the style translates over well, this is definitely going to be a really strong piece, great job!

Yup. Really liking the concept. Very original. I think you should stick with the exagerated cartoony style when doing the textures and 3D stuff. It will look very cool. I prefer the one on the left as it suits the style of the concept well.

Holy crap that looks wicked! [8D]

Can't wait to see this modelled.

cheers dudes..

caseyjones>>yeh .. thats the idea with the flaming fist (special kinda heavy punch).. although i am not yet sure how i am going to pull off the texture on them ... might kinda make the whole fist kinda iron... rather than skin color...

J.I. Styles/WAR-HEAD>> i am going to try and stay as original to the concept as i can.. really want to see the stylization all the way out to the end... we'll see what happens though

I'm having a glow-like effect on my character's fists. But instead of just texturing the glow on, I'm going to build an extra set of geometry around the hands/fists. Then just use alpha maps to make it transparent and then texture them to look firey and glowing. It might not make sense, but I'll probably draw up a quick diagram when I get home to show you what I mean. It could help, or might inspire you to do another way with similar principals.

swweettt man [:)] you should win on design alone [:)]

agree with above! very original concept..
and good start on modelling... Are you modelling him already in his final pose?
can't wait to see more! :)

cheers guys,

kakikukeko: no, i just turned his torso for a quick kinda action shot... although his arms will be modeled in more of a boxing position than straight out, cos that is the position he will be in the most

Wow! That's fantastic, I love it [:)]

Such a cool entry, it may be the angle from which the render has been made but in the concept the legs seemed to come in more at the hip. I dont want him to lose his allmost lanky ellement, its really cool :P

finally... uploaded..

i need to take an uploading class for moronstojo2006-10-02 08:16:24

That is so cool ! i love this style
well done and congrats on finishing.

The best entry so far in my books, nice job man.

I have to say I like the cowboy boots in your concept much more than the model. They have a thicker chunkier feeling which I feel got lost in translation somewhere.

I think you could have balanced out the contrast in the colours a bit more, as my eyes go straight to his boots when I look at him - which could be balanced out by either reducing the saturation of the orangy / yellow or increase the contrast of perhaps the gas tank or gloves.

Nice job man I think youve taken this competition out.

Well done, you're challenger #10!

Well done, tony~ :) I like it, best of luck~

thanks guys....
hazard>> i agree with you on the boots... shouldve kept them chunky like in the orginal sketch.. might redo them.... dont know about the color though...
