A Quickie

[largento]

A guy who does Star Trek fan films (and I mean a LOT of them) caught me at the right time about doing a poster for one of his movies. I expected it to have Star Trek stuff on it, but no such luck. :-)

 

I wanted to make something that looked decent, but not require too much work. I'm not sure how much I succeeded on either aspect, but I think it came out pretty cool.

 

 

Since it was an evil-twin scenario, I only had to model one figure and I actually just used the same model and changed the jacket and hat color in the Cho.

 

I ended up doing two poses and liked the heads in the first one and the bodies in the second, so I rendered out just the heads with an alpha channel and the bodies without heads with an alpha channel and put the heads on in Photoshop.

 

I ended up not making the hands part of the model. I just made one hand model and placed them in Cho to approximate where I wanted the hands to go. When the model was rigged with arms, I positioned them to connect with the hands and adjusted the hands where I needed to.

 

I swiped the hat from the Glenn character I made for "The Wobbling Dead." :-)

Looks like a "McKenzie Brothers in Space" premise.

 

Good work!

Nicely done.

 

That repetition angle (doppelgangers, clones, after images, etc) never gets old.

They used it quite effectively in the latest Star Wars with Rey.

 

More please!

Thanks, guys. I'm not sure if the guy was thrilled with it. He said he liked it (repeatedly, like he was trying to convince me). :-) ...BUT, he hasn't shared it on social media. It could be that he's waiting until closer when the film will be released, but I suspect he might be one of those people who doesn't have a sense of humor and may be embarrassed by the caricature. I hope my intuition is wrong, but if he didn't want funny, he came to the wrong fellow. :-)
