Pokémon Challenge 2022 - Mewtwo & Mew - WIP

Contests and Challenges

Hi,

Okay...so here is my 1st WIP thread. It is the part I love the least as my blocking skills are awful.

The skin modifier was used to shape the character's silhouette. Can't wait to get sculpting.

    Started sculpting the Primary details.

    There is still a lot of work ahead but I am pleased with what I was able to accomplish in less than 2 days.

  • jammingammon replied

    Wow. Looking pretty good already. 

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    jammingammon Thank you for the kind feedback.

  • Mel C(melinmotion) replied

    Wow. Nice muscles definition! 

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    melinmotion Thank you, Mel. Will look better once I start to add Secondary and Tertiary details.

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    Just finished the Primary details. Secondary details will be more focused towards his arms and hands and then some on his torso, legs and head. I'm not entirely satisfied with his proportions, most notably his tail but thank goodness this is still a WIP.

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    slenaerts Thank you so much, Sebastien. I love your Picachu! Great work so far. I knew that you were gonna create something amazing. You should be so proud of yourself. Thanks again, Sebastien.

    Hi bc_griffin ! This looks great so far - really nice choice of character! 


    I'm subbed to your thread and looking forward to the updates 👍👍👍

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    beefkeef Oh Wow, thank you for the kind feedback and sub, Keith! Congratulations for appearing in CG Cookie's Article...truly inspirational. You deserve it man! Your work is astounding! I particularly loved the part where you mentioned of being kept accountable and see your projects through to the end. I am so guilty in that department but ever since I read your story, it motivated me to push my projects through to completion. Thank you for that, Keith.

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    So, I did some scene planning and thought to myself…wouldn't it be an awesome concept to include both Mewtwo & Mew together in a scene? I'll be creating 2 scenes, one being a fight scene (sculpting power effects, dust, smoke, etc.) between Mewtwo & Mew and the other a friendship scene as depicted in the Gif below. Both characters are still in raw stages of sculpting. The next phase of this project is to start with Secondary details.

    Excellent work as always bc_griffin .

    I am really excited to see your 2 scenes, the fight scene sounds like it will be awesome.

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    @adrian2301 Oh wow, thank you so much for your kind and honest feedback, Adrian. 

  • Keith (beefkeef) replied

    Thanks for those kind words Bennie, that's really nice of you and I really appreciate it!! And I'm so glad you found the article useful 🙏 Great to hear!!!

  • Keith (beefkeef) replied

    Nice! I like the extra length you've given the tail, for sure it's nicer than the stubby version

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    beefkeef Thank you, Keith. Yeah, I agree. Adjusting the length of his tail was definitely the right call. 

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    I’ve been watching a lot of Pokémon as of late to get a better understanding on how to storyboard the battle scene between Mewtwo & Mew. Currently busy adding secondary details to Mewtwo’s battle scene where he unleashes his power. I’m thinking of adding anime action lines to create the illusion of speed. I won’t be able to retopo these characters as time are against me. Instead, I’ll replace that time by conceptualizing a dense action scene. Yeah, the bar is lifted but I have to push myself. I’ll rather fail trying. I also love my adaptation of Mewtwo so far.
