Naruto Challenge | necromanthil | Zabuza Momochi
http://www.gameartisans.org/contests/competitions/uploaded_thubnails/35-game-3d-art-1425-1189065581-thumb.jpg

necromanthil has entered the competition!

[Yung]

Ah we are doing the same character! Best of luck!

[TryForce]

Zabuza Momochi, a stealth Killer.
Using Fog-Technique's and killing silently. He leaves without leaving any trace.

His Big sword is a Sign that he is one of the 7 Legendary Swordfighters i have heard. Means he uses alot of effort swinging his big sword.

His Body is lanky as he has more a monkey Pose when he's fighting.
His skin is pretty cold since he is used to live in cold areas.



Good luck on him =D

[ylaya]

Best of luck to you too Yung!
thanx TryForce!
and Best of luck to all the participants!

[dudidam]

i'm very exciting with this one.....:D

[renderdevil]

i'm waiting :)

[lone wolf]

Yo Dude, I can't wait to see your work ...^_^
I'm sure it will be a BLAST !! Best of Luck Bro..

[ylaya]

here's my concept, still don't like some part of him, i'll doodle around abit later..and start my mesh asap.

[TryForce]

everybody has those Sword holder belts on the body. ... Wich are used in Twilight princes as Finalfantasy movie , and and and...

uhm, Actually Zabuza always held his sword in his hand. So it wouldnt be wrong not to do it.

The Baggage on his leg are far to small since the Kunai's are supposed to be in the size of the Hand. same goes on his body belt.

Maybe also thinner his legs as for styliz. on your Concept.

Keep it up, Looks promising.

[dudidam]

like his one....
it'll gonna look cool if u add more bandage around his body ;)

[Eclipse]

Very nice concept man, I like it a lot. Tryforce you might want to go back and look at the fight between Zabuza and Kakashi, because there is a lot of time when Zabuza isn't holding his sword and it's magicly floating on his back.

[ylaya]

i'm agree with Eclipse...think i'm gonna keep his sword holder, beside he's more cool with it, right now i'm still doodling with the concept, and i'll post it soon, and about the kunai, you're right it is too small..i have fix'em

[god_gilaz]

nice work... waitin for the 3d model

[kemal.A]

great concept u have there..love it.. ;) ,classic looks...,mmm...i think the foot looks a little too big, isn't it?

[hennypurwadi]

Your concept is good, man....

[ylaya]

thanx for the reply, and sorry for the late update..here's my final concept..

now, starting the base mesh..fewww, still long way to go.....have to make it!!

[neophensiline]

so you are necromanthil, nice work dude... finish this character dude.:thumb:

[god_gilaz]

nice man, do the 3d....

[Yung]

Looking nice! Now do 3d! hahaha good luck friend

[ylaya]

ok, here we go, finally can go back to the challenge...here's my base mesh, still looking for proportion in some area, and not done with the leg yet....:D

[renderdevil]

[zabuza2k]

[god_gilaz]

hi... nice to see you posrt your work.. should be nice work waiting to see the rest... dun give up...

[dudidam]

cool... great line flow, as usual.... :thumb:
but you got to work a little bit with the proportion and shape...
the head is too small, the legs are too big, and line between chest and shoulder is to smooth... you have to bend it a little more... hehehe
nice, dude... i've to catch you up immediately! :D

[Satya]

alo gw join juga neh
cool concept, as for the mesh i think the shoulder should be a litle bit bigger, and also the head, the feet is too big but if that's your style, it's ok but you have to make the hands bigger too

[ylaya]

here's today update, i've added his cloth...

zabuza2k : heeiii, thanx for reference image man, i'd really appreciate it.it really helps!

ok, thanx for the critics guys, let see what i can do about them, cause i'd like tall characters with long legs...:inocent: :p

satya : hey, glad to see the shifu join too, good luck shifu!!you are joining the concept art right?hope you get the xbox360...:thumb: :praise:

[zabuza2k]

no problem mean ^^ hmm i like it but u muss make the shoes better.

[renderdevil]

that's better....

[Satya]

Yeah that looks better,

btw I joined both 3d and concept

[god_gilaz]

hi thill, nice progress.. pay attention at side view the upper arm seem too small compare to the chest, pay more attention at the upper arm and at his back side look so flat and wide especial from upper leg to lower leg, narrow it, will be nicer:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[donatello]

whoa! chill out dude,, what's with all the rush?
we still have umm.. 15 days to go . . . :uhh:

[ylaya]

almost give up cause i think i won't make it, but since FredH gives one more week extension, it's motivate me again, thanks FredH.:2thumbs:
here is my low mesh, any critics or suggestions would be helpful..thx..:D

next will be high poly or maybe just straight to texturing....(this is the hardest part, since i never do texture before:cry: )

[ylaya]

@donatello : relaxxxxxxx, i'am chill out, you're the one that makes me freaky.....:D

@satya, renderdevil n god_gilaz: thanx guys.

[god_gilaz]

only Say WOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[ylaya]

here is an update....:D

[Japhir]

nice! me likes :P

[TryForce]

i like the head pretty much, you nailed it very well.

althouth the pants at the pelvis area look tooo tight in my opinion, maybe dont add any folds there :O ?

even though, you do great thus far!

[zabuza2k]

wohhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thats holy XD nice mean

[Yung]

Haha using planes for hair as well? :P

Looks nice so far overall, but better hurry. There's less then 1 week left. Good luck fellow

[ylaya]

a small update, finished the high poly.....

@Japhir : thanx dude.

@TryForce : glad you notice it TryForce:) ,so i changed the pelvis area to bigger folds, i hope it doesn't look to tight anymore.
And the head, my special thanks to zabuza2k for giving me references of the head.:thumb:

@zabuza2k : thanks man, couldn't do it without your image references:thumb: :thumb:

@yung : yes, first attempt on his hair was using a mesh, but i couldn't get a good result, so after looking for some tutorials, i decided to use plane as well. i'm speeding up right now since next week it still holiday in here.:D

[TryForce]

@TryForce : glad you notice it TryForce:) ,so i changed the pelvis area to bigger folds, i hope it doesn't look to tight anymore.
And the head, my special thanks to zabuza2k for giving me references of the head.:thumb:

yeh looks better, credit for the image Davidskiwan, it's a good friend of mine :thumb:

go go go!

[Eclipse]

That high res looks awesome man, i really like it. Can't wait to see more!

[sogeking]

sugoi thile

[BuroKun]

nice job....maybe more shape? it seems to have no shapish to me, but I'm no expert.

[Satya]

Very cool! Go go necromanthil!

mudbox or z brush?

I think the front biceps needs more bumps and veins.

And yeah, I agree he needs more shapish silhouette.

[ylaya]

update!!update!! this time normal n some diffuse testing.
texture is still in progress, damn this is the first time i do texturing, i hope the texture is not embarassing...... cause I admit it, texturing kills me instantly...:cry: :cry:
so much to do yet so little time!!:cry:

@TryForce, Eclipse, sogeking : Thanx guys.

@BuroKun : thanx man, I'm not gonna change the high poly, maybe just tweak the lopoly instead, clock is ticking..and what concern me is texture right now..:cry:

@Satya : still using mudbox sat, u know i can't stand on zbrush interface..hehehee

[3d_er]

Your textures are more than fine:) It's looking good so far. Be sure to work on the eyes a little more. larger black pupil, dark line around the eyelides etc. I think eyes are really important.

So far so good. Looking forward to your next update!

[typhus22]

hey man cool model but something about that kunai seems weird, like the sheathe is too smalll for the knife so hows he going to whip that out ya know? other then that, the tricep seems a bit off and the pants shiloutte is a bit flat but i know ull fix that. so far so good man, keep going! ^_^

[dudidam]

hwoo.. nice, although still find a little weird on upperarm and around the wrist.... :D
show us his giant blade!!!!!!

[ALW-DaSilva]

wew looking nice sclupt...but the proportion from waist to legs little bit straight and stiff..so u must have it little bit relax and more shape...i think.....but great zabuza u have there....

[Satya]

Whoa yeah he's alive!! Cool man, Here's some suggestions

maybe tone down the saturation a bit, especially the brown leather parts

give the bandages a yellowish tint, like if it was worn down.

I think the hair opacity is too rough.




I wanna see the sword bro!

[ylaya]

another update guys, these are some poses i try on him..just doing some rigging test..:D
and i gave you his Blade!!:D

texture is not finish yet, some area is still just flat color, hope gonna finish it asap.:cry:

@3d_er : thx for your support man.

@typhus22 : thx man, i'll redo him again, hope i'm gonna make it in time.

@dudidam, ALW-DaSilva : thx guys, maybe after this challenge i'll fix the high res model.

@Satya : thx for the tips shifu!! :thumb:

[Amethyst]

This is becoming a very exciting entry. Looking forward to the final.....

[typhus22]

ha awesome poses man! now if u have time make a big water dragon as part of the base as well ^_^ looking forward to this ones completion

[tef]

I love the poses, very interesting when he stands on his sword :-)

The throwing knife looks very flat though. But you probably know that allready.

[MoP]

Very nice poses!

[3dsquid]

cool! i love all his poses, but ithin the lower left pose seems to be the best of all, gut luck ! :D

[zabuza2k]

ay caramba thats soooo niceeeeeeeeee ^^ i like it but u muss make the clothing textur better the rest its really good

[Yung]

Wooh nice poses ! The lower left pose seems to be the strongest! Good work

[BuroKun]

I agree with Yung on the lower left pose....nice work

[ylaya]

that's it..i finally submit it..hiks...:cry:
for the first time ever...my first project that was made 100% by my self...and my first time for texturing also....:cry:

thanks for all your support guys, this newbie really appreciates...
me learn so much from this challenge and have to level up on the next challenge..:)
here i share my beauty shot, i manage to make the water dragon, i hope you guys like it....:o

[ALW-DaSilva]

wow awsome....nice....idea...nothing to say...

[Marcus Dublin]

This is one of the best poses I’ve seen so far and the models pretty snazzy as well, I could see this character in a Naruto fighting game with the same water effet, hehe:lucky:. It was fun watching the progress of this character and you’ve really finished a nice entry. Way to go necromanthil!:)

[zann]

Woooh really impressive pose :eek:

[Aloscha]

I'll second to the last 3 posts, it´s an amazing pose.

[shadowbreeze]

wow very cool indeed:thumb:

[dudidam]

nice!!! rock them hard, dude!!! :thumb:

[hennypurwadi]

I like your final pose, and I like those dragon too.
Do you make this dragon with Particle flow, bro?

[ylaya]

thanks for the comments guys..i'm really appreciates them..:)
oh, and goodluck for everyone with your entry.:)
this is an amazing challenge indeed.:thumb:

@hennypurwadi : what is particle flow?a plug in?
no, mommy, the dragon is a mesh with opacity map on it.:)

[neophensiline]

Nice Job Necromanthil, good to see you finish your zabuza. :thumb:

[ylaya]

oke here the rest of the shots. and i've made an extra shot with photoshop retouching...:D

thanks guys!:)

[Satya]

O yeah, cool poses!

I have a suggestion for the sword,
the white streaks look weird, you should just give it a subtle alternating bright-dark gradient on the diffuse and the specular, I think.

Cool work man

[ALW-DaSilva]

i think the thumb look bigger than the others..fingers....looks like bulbar heheh..but everything is great...

[zabuza2k]

necro i hope u win u are my fav XD

[typhus22]

woo hoo water dragon ftw! looks great man! love the poses, love the sword, pants are still alittle blocky but i dont care it still captures the feel of zabuza. excellent man!
