Well this year I'm going to get something done, last year was on track until I had to go to Boston as I was in the midst of buy a house, this year I have nothing to do in my spare time but play video games, do some art and make sure the girl is happy (very important)
I'm going to make my own god of war. What if our main religion was of the Greek gods? If there was belief in them would they return? Under what conditions would we start to take on these beliefs?
Well I have answered this questions and this guy is the new god of war. I need to research the stories and myths of the Greek gods to help me write a back story which I will post here, which should help with the concepts finer details.
Anyway I spend the last two lunch times at work blocking out the proportion of this guy and a little detail pass (only like 100,000 polygons in Zbrush 3 which is nothing really) I use reference from 300 aiming for a very fit looking guy that has the physique of a god.
Ok I think it is all working.

Thanks, kind of got carried away because my plan was to have amour on his torso and spend most of my time detailing it, when I should have been detailing the arms or face , I kind of like the front of his torso now and maybe not amour it.
I guess I will get to see how it looks not amoured in this concepting stage before I go detail it.Hiporu2007-07-05 19:39:11
Too right, there is a little style I was aiming for and over shot the mark a little (lunch time was over) I like the abdominal area also and have been work that style and level of detail into the rest of the body, I also don't like the arms at all and how the join to the rest of the body, come to think about it the abdominal area is the only area I'm at all happy with.
I have done a bit work on it this weekend, I have re topology bits that were not working in ZBrush and re sculpted the back because it was a little back anatomy by numbers.
It's only rough took about an hour and a half (45min for lunch I take, they give me an hour.)
Started with a quick box model (would have used Zshperes but I have problem with human faces and Zsperes) and then did a quick past in Zbrush, took it back to max changed some topology and then worked it up from there.
Being able to change topology at a later date is great feature in Zbrush 3 means you can get right into modeling and fix issues later.
Yeah maybe but I'm have real problems nail down what I want to do.
At first I want to do ancient Greek meets Fire Fly, like one of the sh*t hole planets started to belief in the ancient Greek gods again which lead to them returning. The character I wanted to make became the god of war by defeating Ares (much like the god of war games.) Will this even land inside the challenge out lines?
BUT
Now I'm not sure if I going to do something over the top and crazy or focus on anatomy and style and keep it simply and nail the details. More Greek god art I see the more I just want to do a huge half naked guy just back from battle.
I don?t know.
Hey Hiporu, I know what you mean man. I get the same thing alot.
Ive decided to stick to the anatomy and focus on bringing out character, personality and realism in the face mainly for my entry.
But again i thought the same as you described, originally i was after doing something crazy and big, but decided to reduce it back down to keep it simple, boring but ill live with it.
Maybe a few more sculpts will help you make up your mind ?
Look out were all doomed now! hehe. Your link won't work 4 meeee (probably cause i'm teh intranoob).
