[FIGHTER] Yu Yu Hakusho, Kuwabara, Super Happy Cow

[Super Happy Cow]

A mulberry is a tree, Kuwabara is a man. And i'll prove it. we all have to die when our time comes, but if we do our duty we don't have regrets, so taste a little piece of my sword toguro!

This should be awesome.

[aesir]

YES YES YES!

[Joseph Silverman]

Awesome.

[Super Happy Cow]

I picked a hell of a time to get internet troubles.

Kuwabara has become an older man with a real sword, and a panzerfaust rocket launcher. Why a German tank buster? Oh, you will see, mein freund. You will see.

Been doing other stuff. I'll get around to finishing the character before the deadline.

I'll get it done. Always do:

Not feeling the WWII/Japanese soldier/Yakuza thing.

Wondering whether I should morph him into a greaser or a really old martial arts master, as he does become the strongest human alive ever after Yu Yu Hakusho's finale.

Suggestions?

Edit: What the shit? My characters never have ears.

You guys suck at suggestions.

No matter, I've decided on what I'm going to do. It's the only thing to do, really.

[Sukotto]

Maybe you could make him look like a real detective like Sherlock Holmes or something but put some demonic elements into it.

Oh and give him a mustache, I have a feeling Kuwabara would have an epic mustache or some sort of facial hair

[Super Happy Cow]

Yeah. I'm going to turn him into an older version. Might have to give him more wrinkles, and an incredibly sophisticated, yet bad-ass Japanese look.

[Mike Yevin]

looking like a good start so far, but i keep getting the feeling that his face is being pinched into the center. also his eyes are quite large and imo his mouth is on the small side (this may be a stylistic approach, but it still looks a bit off)

Yeah? I might touch those eyes up. I was trying to reach a compromise between his anime rendition and a more realistic form, but I don't think that'll work out too great.

And for the mouth, do you still feel it is too small considering the reference? Kuwabara is a super loud mouth, but the drawing of his mouth when silent is pretty small.

The nose does need work. I sculpted it too large then pinched it down to form a crease on the edge of the nostrils/top of the philthrum. Need to work that out.

What do you think of the hair? : O

I'm not diggin the way the anatomy is fuzzy. Need a solution. On the other Hand, Kuwabara's a pretty bulky guy. Not the cut type.

[Super Happy Cow]

Boop. Partial retop. I'm at 7000 tris without his weapons which he has 3 of.
Probably going to get to 11000 tris max with what I have planned.

Used the boots from the previous post simply as a shape for a base since I was in zbrush.
The boots in this pic are the real base. for a future sculpt.

[HonkyPunch]

kuwabara is probably one of my all time favorites. ever. i should probably finish watching Yu-Yu Hakusho sometime.
excited to see how this turns out.

[Super Happy Cow]

Yeah. He's pretty damn badass. Despite being weaker than all of the the fighters on his side and almost all of the enemies he manages to stay alive thanks to willpower, honor, and sheer manliness. Gotta love this guy.

Face so far.

Things are starting to pick up. Imma try to do as much as the pants, jacket, and t-shirt as I can tonight.

Also, things are clipping in ways they shouldn't be. That needs to be SOLVED IMMEDIATELY.
