Hey,
I’ve been busy creating some costume designs for my superhero. I think his superhero name is going to be GreySteel or Vixor, depending on the colour scheme. I like the name GreySteel as its quite catchy, however i like Vixor as it reminds me of `Victor`, however its a little more Unique.
The first Character design i created i change slightly to be a little more colourful. Originally the name for this character was going to be `BR` for BloodRush, however i am going to change the name to either GreySteel or Vixor.
Then i decided to try a blue colour scheme
The next design is completely different and i really like it however i feel the chest needs an emblem or further design.
I like the overall design and i feel that character looks alot better with a cape. I think this would also be easy to create in maya,
using maya’s ncloth i should be able to create a realistic flowing cape with a feeling of weight, and it should calculate fairly quick.
Same design in orange, which i feel looks better than the blue version.
The colours also remind of my home town football team Wolves.
Finally the last design “GreySteel”, which i think isn’t as fancy and is quite basic. I like the design for its simplicity.
I added a little more colour
Finally a more metalic material with a purple tone
I still have a few more designs to draw out, however i like the GreySteel costume and name. Its simple however colourful and conforms to typical superhero designs. I like the cape and i feel the character stands bolder with a cape. I also dont think the cape will be much of a problem to animate, however making the cape stay in the right position may prove to be tricky. Using pre-cached ncloth data it should render the same rate as without a cape aswell.
I will probably add an emblem or logo to the character, but i have yet to design one, so the costume designs will change and they are not the final designs.
I still have to designt the robot. I’m still undecided on how the robot should look. If it should be a futuristic looking robot, or an older more rustic robot. Or be a hybrid robot and be part organic. I think i want the robot to be 3 or 4 legged however, as this would look better than a two legged robot. Im undecided on if the robot should have weapons or be a brash hitting robot. However i feel this is best decided upon the final robot design.
