So here is what “enraged Jim” will look like physicly. He will be wearing a ripped T-shirt, but that I will add in cloth when I’ve got the animations ready to be rendered. Story-wize there won’t be a whole transformation scene like other movies, this guy will just appear out of nowhere, the darkness he came from. This might look like a normal heavy set guy now, but he is over 2 meters tall, alot taller and stronger than the original Jim who has no visual muscletone at all.
Here in 3x Turbo Smooth and wireframe, you can see the chest and back. Spent some time working on the back muscles and arms, especially the triceps which were difficult to make without something like Zbrush at my disposal. No referance images were used. He does not have a crazy sixpack because he won’t be showing them in the movie, thus no reason to create it. And yes he is missing a head in these screenshots.
So here it is. He has no eyes, teeth or hair yet. That is why his mouth is open, because he is going to have a constant pissed off grin on his face. He will have a spiky haircut. No hair/fur modifier this time, turned out to be too much of a hassle. This Jim won’t have too many facial animations other than the eyebrows and jaw. The other Jim will show fear, despair, talk on the phone etc so he will have more of a fixed face.
This is a render after testing some brickwall textures. The box in the middle is to represent roughly the size of the boy, Jim as he runs into the alley. There will be garbage, dumbsters and typical “urban dark alley” goodies lying around the entrance. I will also add some grafitti on the walls to give the impression that this is not exactly a “rich” neighborhood.
I will be stepping up my postings from now on, this last project has a minimum requirement of 14 posts, so I guess I need like 10 more before the deadline.
Coming up next, scans of my storyboard.
