The Monkey King, new character

… so it depends on the audience I think. My own vision is very narrowed I must say. Like western brainwashing!

Fur, texturing looking great AND he gained a tail! :smiley:

Will it be possible to make the belts indent the body a bit like they were pulled tight? I only ask as you are so capable! It may not be practical for your end use intents especially if there is animated movement involved.

Hi everyone, today I have been working on facial expression and pose.
The saliva material is working but I think it can be improved.
By the other hand, rendering with fur or without it changes so much the character… It looks more evil without it, isn’t it?

Great expression.

Well, ultimately your choice. I just wonder if lack of fur tilts it more to human? Which may be fine to your desires.

Thanks! The final character has fur, I’m just testing different renders to see how it looks, the fur sometimes hides issues with anatomy, so it’s easy for me to check with out it :slight_smile:

Inspired by the Balinese Culture this is my interpretation of Hanuman, The Monkey King. His weapon is a Keris, both weapon and spiritual object, the Keris is considered to possess magical powers. For this weapon is very important the blade, the handle and the sheath. And finally I added a plumeria flower in his ear, the plumeria is used in ceremonies and offerings. The white and red colors of the flower match the colors of the Indonesian flag.

I agree with @NP5 as this IS brilliant. I’m loving how much detail you put into this project, as it’s all paid off big time. :grinning:

But than again you’ve learned something new.
Glad you shared your knowledge with us!

Really well done! Love the final result!

In your video when you’re adding detail using a curve made from the model you asked how to do this in one step. You could scale up the curve using Alt+S with proportional editing. I think this could work for this particular example

Thanks so much!!

Hi @Mark_Jackson ! Thanks, yes I tried that before but I found it was deforming too much my detail’s geometry, maybe adding more points to the curve can help to avoid that…

This is really cool!

Sun Wukong is my favorite.

I just read that Sun Wukong was rumored to be inspired by Hanuman. I had no idea.
