working on...

...Jin Roh project: take 3-ish.

the first project that i'll be doing over the summer, is recreating a character and armor from a really cool anime movie, called Jin Roh.

what i'll be making is the protagonist in his Protect Gear. basically a heavily armored SWAT-like armor, with nightvision and they go around wielding MG-42's. it's a really badass, almost iconic piece of armor. the red eyes have inspired a lot of other, maybe even more well known designs. designs like the Helghast from the Killzone-franchinse.

so far, i've made a sculpt of the head and a low poly retopo of that head. next up is to create the armor/body. it's gonna be fun and a bitch :) 

so here, enjoy screenshots of each stage :)

Getting...

...in shape!
a less bulbous, jiggly shape :) that's the plan for the next two months. as a 3d artist and gamer, i do tend to spend a lot of time sitting down. that aint good :)

so im gonna use my vacation to work on myself. im going to try and reach the goal i set for myself. and the goal is to get rid of my mantits.
when i reach that goal, im gonna get a tattoo done.

in the meantime, im going to be working on several projects. one is going to be a revisit of a project i did years ago. a 3d reproduction of the character Fuse from the Jin Roh anime. should be fun :)

next to that, im gonna do a small competition with a friend of mine to create a LoL-like character. and i might do some work for a few mod/game projects. we'll see :)
