HntrLuc has entered the competition!

[quinn paynter]

Hey Hey. Great to see your entering. Hidan is a great character, for those of you that don't know this character you'll see him soon in the anime, as he's only been in the manga so far. Hunter's WIP models look fantastic!!! An artist to watch once he posts some of his work (^___^)

[HntrLuc]

Haha, thanks for the love Quinn!

Here's an early wip. Going realistic with this one.

[TryForce]

and i thought about Itachi.

looking good so far.

[Chasarsis]

Nice start! How did you handle the ripped clothing in your base mesh? That's always been an issue for me

[ThatDon]

You work INSANELY fast

[HntrLuc]

TryForce - Haha, I know! I was bummed when I saw the contest, if only I had waited a while before starting Itachi :/

(Started a sculpt of itachi a while back, so I had to start fresh with hidan for the contest :()
http://huntermortenson.com/itachi/itachisculpt.jpg

Chasarsis - Thanks, the base mesh is just a one sided plane.

ThatDon - There wasn't really much work involved up to that point, just importing a base mesh into zbrush and some basic shapes really. Probably on 3 or so hours when all was said and done.


Small update, not TOO much has changed mostly just the material :P
http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/numberthree.jpg

Needed a change of pace, so I got most of the lowpoly done too. But that's boring stuff, so I won't bother posting it for the moment :P

[TryForce]

yeh i have seen that update =)

Uhm since you are still doing the highres, i will point a few things infront!

First of all im not sure but i think the knee-feet part should be done in a look of Bandages, not sure now though, probably not.

Give him atleast a few scars on his arms ,stomach, neck and maybe upperbody part. Since you know his partner used to flick him back onto his body again.


cant wait if you will do the white-black version texture. otherwise if not, i cant wait aswell.

[SupRore]

Really cool start. Right now...

-The long face, with the completely smoothed cheeks, stands out a bit. Everything around it, including the brows and mouth, has a ton of detail, and then it goes into a long smooth section... Just looks awkward.

-Keep playing with the cloth, especially on the sleeves. You can go a lot sharper and stronger with it and it'll probably look really great.

-Double check anatomy, abs seem off, among a few other little things.

[Eclipse]

Really cool start Hunter, I'm not familiar with the character, but the model is looking really well done.

[ThE_BirD]

Lookin' solid Hntr, I really dig your style. You might double check the direction of the striations on the chest muscles(where they plug into the arm) you could get a little clearer over lap and go biceps -> pecs -> shoulder ... very nice though:thumb: This should be great:D

[M!nt]

:thumb: Looking awesome! Can't wait to see it finished.

[vjun]

holy mother of hokages.. you work fast!
this burns my fuel :D

[typhus22]

are u going to texture him with the skulls or without? and also please please please for the beauty shot include his seal on the base. great sculpting man!

[ManuelPoehlau]

Good start. I see that you started with a public base mesh posted by another artist. It is already well proportioned but try to break these a little bit, I still can identify the mesh. No bad feelings here, just try to make it your own.

I wish you good luck :)

[Svenime]

damn hunter that is sweet!
I think imma enter this biatch also

I think his nose looks a bit fat tho.. Could be a matter of taste but id prefir
to see a slimmer "FF:AC" face/nose on this one :D
Im rly loving the stomach muscles

[quinn paynter]

Well look who it is... Where the hell you been Sven?

[Svenime]

hey there Quinn.. well dont wanna bash hunters thread.But I dont have internet atm(at dads place right now)Ill be back soon tho.

cant wait for an update hunter

[dudidam]

im very excited with this competition after seeing this one!

great works there, dude!!!! :thumb:

[Indra]

wow that awesome !!
ur realy2x fast dude
i watch ur tread man :D

[HntrLuc]

Thanks for all the critique everyone! I'll do my best to address everything mentioned.

Been away the last few days, so no update. However I decided to do a little bit of redesigning. Everyone else was so I felt left out :P

Anyway here's a quick sketch on what i had in mind.

http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/concept.jpg

[HntrLuc]

Double Post!

Started back up on the sculpt:

http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/numberfour.jpg

[poopinmymouth]

Hah! Dang that's nice. 10x better than your original direction. It went from Yawn to YES!!!!

http://www.mr-chompers.com/images/poop.gif (http://www.poopinmymouth.com)

[SupRore]

Yeah, this new design is really cool. Sculpt is looking a lot better around the face, too. Pecs look kinda baloonish and weird, though, and overall his torso is missing some of the forms that were cool in your concept.

[TryForce]

Yey!
Dont forget his Ring on his Finger for Akatsuki!

Really nice concept now!

[tacit math]

sweet man. nail that concept and you got a cracker

[ThatDon]

I would spend some more time and revisit your torso anatomy, it looks "stretched"

[vresu]

Dangg it's awesome dude,cool stuff >_< thumbs up

[GoDai]

can't believe it....
you are too fast, man

[FredH]

It's looking stellar hunter:thumb:

[nec9]

can i have your sculpting skills? :lucky:

[Kerepres]

Really awesome sculpting, man.
I'll be checking back for the final look soon.

Lucky me you're not doing Itachi.:phew:

[HntrLuc]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Been slacking on this, and haven't felt like sculpting much. So I did up the low poly instead.

Still have around 1200 tris left to work with, so I'm looking to add some accessories to beef out his silhouette. Maybe some "akuma" beads or an aboriginal looking skull necklace or something, any ideas would be great!

Anyway, here's a picture: Normals and messy and the sculpt isn't done. But I needed an update :P

http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/normaltest.jpg

[kikialex]

Man this is a great model,could you post some wires

[hennypurwadi]

Whoa.... great.....!!!

[Yung]

Woah, mind if you share how you did the clothes? Did you sculpt the general forms then pinch the edge to accentuate it? Could use some tips as I am having a headache getting the cloth done right. Anyway looks solid so far! The nose does seems a little big?

[SupRore]

This is still looking really incredible. I'd widen the hips just a bit, you're still missing that arc in the outline of his torso from the concept.

(Hey yung, I don't know how he did it, but using the flatten tool set to pull height like the standard brush (the little slider under it set to zero) and a soft alpha might help.

Alternatively, try what Per shows here, and just use oldfashioned standard and smooth:

http://per128.com/pages_tutorials/img/zbrush_hardedges.jpg )

[3dsquid]

this is just awesome! wish i have your skills haha..gotta agreed with akuma beads, that will made him look bettter i guess :)

[ALW-DaSilva]

mamamiya...it looks delicious...how can u export normal map like that it's very smooth yer know can u share with me some tips to export normal map...hehhehe...

[neophensiline]

haha, this one is really good. realistic style mmm.. the same style with mine, you make me worried a lot to finish the competition.:doh:

[ninjaPenguin]

Hey HntrLuc, Hidans lookin' good! I was going to do him, but after seeing this, I don't know that I could do better, probably not. Anyway, I think these are the colors they are planning to use for Hidan and his gear. I didn't know if you had seen these or not. Use them or not its your choice. Can't wait to see some texture action. Keep it up!

http://www.ninjapenguin3d.com/images/HidanColor.jpg

[dkvdeeto]

way awesome.........
looks pretty BadAss to me!!

[typhus22]

dude dont u make akuma beads! thtDon is already doing that and hidan looks badass enough with his forehead protector as his neck guard. anyways, really really sweet model and cant wait to see the update!

[ThatDon]

Yeah, layoff my beads!:mad:

[HntrLuc]

Thanks everyone!

Yung - The way SupRore mentioned works good. Which is more or less what I follow, I find it helps too if I use the alpha that looks kinda like a boob. (third row down, tenth one over in zbrush 3)

SupRore - Thanks, I'll probably leave the sculpt as is and try and fix the outline with his posing. But Ill try widening the hips to see how that looks.

ALW-DaSilva - haha thanks, I just use xnormal for exporting normal maps. No special tricks :P

typhus 22/ that don - Lol, ok I'll pass on the beads then, jeez :P

Here's another update, still working on everything really.. (this is just flat texture, no normal applied)

http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/flat.jpg

[ThatDon]

ha, i'm just kidding mate, this is looking pretty solid, lets see those normals applied!

[Ste]

Love it! Simple costume that totally works!

[HntrLuc]

Wasn't really feeling Hidan, so I've been a total bum on this.

Now I'm thinking I might go with a teen kakashi + pakkun instead.

Here's where I left off with Hidan:
http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/hidan.gif

Here's my start kakashi so far:
http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/kaka-numberone.jpg

I'm hoping the hair and scar will be enough to show who he is. I realize at this point it doesn't look much like him though.

Anyway, I was kinda sad I haven't seen any pakkuns on here so far. So I thought it would be fun to do a teen kakashi, walking pakkun.

[Mike_inel]

Eeeh??? He looks great already! Why dump the model???
Oh well, any models you make are great anyway!
Looking forward for your update!

[HntrLuc]

Thanks Mike! I just wasn't very happy with him, so it was making it really hard to finish.
So I felt like a fresh start might do the trick.

Here's an update:

http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/kaka-numbertwo.jpg

Should probably work on making him look more like pakkun...

[TryForce]

hahah this looks great :D if the hair will come out great it will be neato!

for now the scar is pretty hard to see, maybe work some more on it? Pakkun looks like from man in black xD Hahahah cute. I like it :D

[zabuza2k]

lol haha the dog haha XD thats coooll^^

[ThatDon]

Nice sculpting man.

[typhus22]

nice new model man but its a shame u didnt finish up hidan. the whole reason i picked my character was because i was inspired by u picking another oddball character rather then the well known ones. still all in all im betting the new one will be wildly amazing. cya!

[BiG ToE]

I'd say that if you really want to push the fact that he is kakashi, just toss a mask on his face and a rolled up playboy in his back pocket.

[Thunder Bunny]

I agree with BiG ToE, But the playboy should have "Come Come Paradise" on it.

[HntrLuc]

Thanks guys : )

I think the scar will be fine once it has color on it, most scars don't really pop out from the skin too far anyway.

typhus22 - haha thanks man. I think I'd rather be doing a more random character too, I just thought pakkun would be fun to do... so kakashi just kinda tagged along :P

BiG ToE/Thunder Bunny - AWESOME idea! don't know why I didnt think of that!


Got some hairs done. Not entirely sure how this'll turn out, but I'm planning on doing geometry with some alphas coming off here and there to soften things up.

Hair's a bit different from traditional design, but I'm hoping it's still recognizable enough:
http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/kaka-numberthree.jpg

Here's a little color overlay to help sell it:
http://huntermortenson.com/hidan/colortest.jpg

[Yung]

The new model is looking good, though I must say I wasn't convinced when he was first bald lol. But it's definitely shaping up nicely. You better start doing lowpoly, there's less then two weeks left.

[TryForce]

muhahaha, hair looks good :D just abit more upwars the top hair, or?

go go go!

remember that kakashi's Eyes are half seeable:

he dosnt look like: O_O
more like: =_=

you got what i mean! ;P

[dkvdeeto]

i agree w/ typhus 22, it is a shame....
but i hope u get kakashi done ....
good luck!!

[ThatDon]

freaking diggin the hair man!
