Another hero is born!

[hypnomike]

Hi folks!

 

I've been working on this in my spare time.

 

As I have little experience in building models from scratch this one is a modified Tarzan from the A:M 2004 disk.

 

I've yet to apply textures.

 

What do you think?

Too small to be able to tell Mike!

 

More angles/images please.

[modernhorse]

Yes Mike more please. I like the purple skin though, there must be a story there. Perhaps a lab experiment gone freakishly awry? No, too typical. Maybe he worked for a grape juice manufacturer when suddenly ... splonk! he mysteriously landed in a vat of hot steaming pasteurized juice (was he pushed?!) and he became ..... da da dum !!!!! ...... (insert hero name here Mike).

 

Sorry.

Maybe too much Ribena! (If you don't have Ribena in the states this'll fall on deaf ears!) It's a blackcurrent drink BTW!

 

Here's a couple more, he will need a bit of adjustment to rigging due to my tampering with the presumably functioning original!

Started to add a little texture to the figure.

Another angle.

Interesting character, so far, hypnomike...

 

I am kind of confused however, about where his body armor stops and his skin-tight uniform begins. It looks like he has shoulder pads right now, but they kind of run right into the rest of him.

 

The bump on him also seems a little to tiny, and pronounced... kind of looks like scales to me, like he is some kind of underwater guy. Which, maybe you are going for. If not though, you might want to reduce the bump and lower the global scale of it.

Thanks for the feedback Andrew.

 

So far the body armour effect differs from the rest of the outfit in colour and roughness setting only.

 

The skin tight portion of the suit was originally smooth but picked up roughness from the character's skin roughness.

 

This character was adapted from the Tarzan figure on the A:M 2004 disk, the different sections of clothing are simply grouped patches from the original.

 

I take you're point about the armour and bumps, I'll experiment along those lines and post again.

 

Thanks again.

I've played about with the roughness and specular settings, I've also made the bulk of his outfit the same colour as the pants didn't work for me.

Here's a closer shot.
