Current Progress on the Men of Crack and Corn Update

[davec64]

Hi, again guys,

As you know I have started on updating the Men of Crack and Corn model, as the old models are a little bit on the plain and basic side of things, as you can see underneath.



The reason for this is simple, lack of time and me learning the ropes of Photoshop, but now I look back at them and they look really wooden and basic. The Men of Crack and Corn should look like Conan; be dynamic, full of energy, blood and grit!

Anyway, underneath are some of the sketches for the new models:








I would like to work on at least four of these models going forwards. However, I would add mods, patches and accessories to them and by doing this, will allow me to turn one model into many different variants.

I’m away this weekend. So I will start working on them next week.

Anyway, that’s it from me for now, as always thanks for stopping by and having a look-see

Dave

These do look much better than the old ones. Just a note: in most of the poses you have arms doing more "dynamic" things than the legs. In the last pose the legs are the most dramatic while the arms are relatively relaxed. Maybe try one with both arms and legs at an "extremity" of movement?

Also maybe you could go modular, so you could mirror the tops and bottoms seperately and get eight (?) figurs out of two sketches?

Maybe I am just babling because I haven't typed much yet today.

Thanks for your Cowboyleland, that was helpful

And you are totally right...! They do all have their feet planted... which I did not notice. Next week when I start working on them again in Photoshop I will try and get those legs moving a bit more.

Also, I really like the modular idea for the upper and lower half of the models and I will have to try that out

Cheers!
