MLB 2k12 Blendshapes

Here is the create-a-player model I created. as well as some samples of Blendshapes I did for MLB 2k12

Mummy Boy

Frank The Convict

 

So this is Frank. The Idea behind this character is that he's around 60 years old and just escaped from prison circa 1930. His clothing reflects typical southern prison uniforms from that time. I wanted an easily readable silhouette. I chose to counter balance the simplified design with heavy sculpted detail. The hair design reflects Franks' love of Cigars, Similar to a puff of smoke.

Software used:

Maya 8
Z Brush 3.1, Mudbox

Nos

This is my take on Nosferatu. He's more of a poorer pathetic kinda guy, but still charming. My goal is to add anatomical detail while still maintaining a strong and easily readable Silhouette. ...more to come.

Software Used:

Maya 7 and 8.5

Mudbox

The Nihd

 

 In the design of the Nihd, I was inspired by insects such as beetles, flies, dragonflies, walking sticks. I was also inspired by harlequin masks, asparagus and an old mugshot I had designed in a sketchbook. I used silhouette sketching as my primary method of design an exploration
Basemesh's made in Maya 7 and Sculpted in Z-brush 2 and Mudbox.

Warmup Mud head (45min) and Zbrush head(1 hr)
