zann has entered the competition!

[cookepuss]

Bring it on. I'm not entering this one - not a big Naruto fan - but I can't wait to see what you've got to offer. Should be pretty interesting based on the high quality of your DomWar entry.

[Chasarsis]

Agreed. I think missed your Domwar entry, but considering how you've done in the mini-comps thus far I know you're going to be pulling out something impressive.

[Kerepres]

Hohoho... So you have finally joined. I'll be waiting for updates

[zann]

Cookepuss - thx mate, hope my update is interesting *sweat*
Charsarsis - u r giving me pressure man, haha!
Kerepres - thx for ur patient, will b updating soon......i think :)

Still tweaking on the base mesh but will only start the concept design after that since im late for tis comp :paper:

cheers

[Marcus Dublin]

I can't wait to see what you have in store zann, good luck!:lucky:

[zann]

Haha thx marcus, good luck to u too :thumb:

[zann]

Ok tis is my wip, the costume is rather original so i might keep them or redesign along the way :think: n not forgetting the cape as well :paper:
The hair is for temporary feel purpose, will definite refine it.
Hope to start sculpting soon....i think :doh:

cheers

[TryForce]

denno, since his hair doesnt goes up and isnt any lightblond it doesnt remind me of yondaime , but thats the head, the rest reminds me alot on him. You did pretty fell so far!

although if you need head refrence look up my thread. gj!

[3dsquid]

very cool zann! may i ask you why the hair polys looked double?

[zann]

TryForce - thx, but i got the prob for those pointing upwards hair n they probably need alot of gel to make it firm n solid in the real world, jus feel unnatural to me :think: Btw thx for the ref :)
3dsquid - thx. Those r for better maya preview purpose, since i got alpha for the hair it looks kind of thin v jus 1 set so i duplicate another to make it look thicker, nothing special :confused:

cheers

[Kerepres]

You!
You're fast and you are making me feel bad for being so slow.
But looking good, i will wait for more. Except for one thing...
The arms look a little too skinny for now.:p
Good luck!

[zann]

Haha kerepres thx n sorry for the pressure :inocent:
Hmm mayb i hav not scale it thick enough for the arms :eek:
Good luck to u too!

[TryForce]

Didnt knew you wanna do realistic one, well it looks promising then!

Really wanna see this one fininshed ;P

although maybe blond hair would be better?

[zann]

Hmm really not sure what texture direction to go for but definitely not cartoon style :cool:
Sure i will finish it, hopefully :inocent:

cheers

WOah looks nice so far! Perhaps a bit more color variation, though I understand this is still a rushed 1st pass. Add oil man add oil!

[Kerepres]

He looks really good, zann.

[zabuza2k]

Ok finally back v some updates :lucky:
The overall thing is done, will start rig n pose asap n start gathering elements for the final images :confused:

cheers

[tef]

Love it. But maybe you should make those rows of hair on the back a bit more uneaven and irregular.

[BuroKun]

nice texture work. I would do something different with the hair.

[Kerepres]

I had to agree with the hair. add some spikes. Hehe...
Love to see your work as always

[zann]

tef, Burokun & Kerepres ~ haha hair fixed :p but adding spikes.....:think: I c wat i can do, the clock is ticking :brick:

cheers

[tef]

The natural look of his hair is rather unique in this contest so I wouldn't change it completely. Just make your mesh structure less abvious by adding some hair that overlaps and break up those rows. You will make it!

[Chasarsis]

5 minutes left! I'm anxious to see the end product of this guy! Cmon!

[zann]

tef ~ ya i fixed the hair :)
Chasarsis ~ haha here u go :lucky:
I tried my best on the hair tis time, got lots to learn in tis field :brick:
Its been a nice comp, learn a lot as usual & its fun!
Now i can rest abit to play harder & sleep harder :p

cheers
