Tweetytunes - "Trapjaw" Horror Challenge
 

Going for a re-make of Trapjaw from He-Man.

Been planing to make this guy for years now and I think this challenge is perfect for it. He is one scary dude if you look at him closely (no jaw - no right arm missing legs ??? yet still fighting the masters of the universe) - although the cartoons always made him goofy.

Here is some ref but I have the toy in hand which is a great point of call and as I said going to redesign him a little just to leave my stamp on it. Really have a strong leaning to making him a women - don`t ask why I just think it would be cool.

That looks like a good choice tweetytunes did you finish your last battle model, if you did I would like to see it...........dave

Been going though my files and can`t find it - I think its on a HD thats still pack - I still have some images but they are all in the w.i.p thread. As soon as I find it I`ll post the images up.

Holy crap! That last pic is just fantastic!

Nice choice!

Am I missing something here??? I didnt get the last one?? or were you being funny tweet?? LOL

A sheila!!!! you have to be on some serious coffee man!!! Though it would look good....not as evil/scary as a bloke version.

Cheers bullet

Edit: dont worry about it...found it on the Google

I quite like the look of this on Tweety

Been trying to get the shape of the head just right but struggling with how the jaw would really work. - One tuff little bugger.

Lots more work to do

A strong start tweetytunes I would expect nothing less................dave
Edit:the cheek need to be puffed out a little more

Good start mate!!! gee you are quick offt he mark

Great Idea, and a damm good start!

Cheers guys

Working out the jaw is giving me a headack but I`ll crack it. Mesh a little messy at mo but will sort it after.

Looking good tweetytunes, I think the human teeth need to be moved up a little, I know the guy has a large gap but I dont think its that big.........dave;)

Hey Tweety,

He kinda reminds me of Mean Machine from Judge Dread in a way, the mech and human bits.

Yer just blocking the guy together at the mo.

Anyone know how to fix the problem with alpha gain not working with ATI HD 5450 (I bloody hate ATI - shitish card I have ever had) - Been trying to set up some image plains but its just not working - really pissing me off. Got the latest drivers and stuff but the alpha gain doing nutting

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!

I just brought a new Graphics Card, ATI FirePro v4800, specifically for 3D modeling, and now Maya is unusable! The viewport wont update at all, so you can't edit your objects!

I'm getting a refund and never EVER going with ATI again!

Anyway, sorry...

Model looks good so far, fast of the blocks as usual. I haven't even had a chance to put pen to paper for my concept, though I have some ideas floating around.

Anyway, nice modeling so far. Some of his features seem a bit sharp, but it's still early days.

New card I think next month as I cant work with this crap.

Well been powering on with the upper body as I cant redue the face without ref images - or a working fix

muscles look a bit toonie for now as I am basing this of the toy, changes will be made once the whole thing is blocked out a little more

OK restart.

I don`t know why but was starting to hate what I had done so I have rebuilt the face and I am a lot happier with it now. Going to remake the jaw and helmet so its a lot smoother next.

I think I was tiring to hard to make the toy, going my own way now and I`ll see what I end up with.

Had to get the neck in before tweaking the helmet and got a little carried away - nevermind

http://www.ravage3d.com/images/trapjaw/Trap_1_6.jpg

Yeah, this looks better. Especially on the topology front. Your previous torso's topology was a bit odd.

Keep at it.

You humble me....well you all do. Good start, yes it is looking much better.

cheers bullet

wow, this is coming along pretty good man.

Cheers guys.

Yer Mayaniac It was heavily based on the toy and was why I started again. Going to make him a much more BEEFY and more teck-no version of him (some of thee teck of his arm looks really old)

Still struggling with the Jaw shape - ruffing some idea out but so far nothing I like.

Day off today so hoping to get loads done - here is some work on the arms. Copied them over for now as I am not sure how much I am going to cut off.

Good work so far Tweety.

Looking forward to the development of this.

Liking this over sized jaw look - just need to tweak it in places and then I think I have a winner.

http://www.ravage3d.com/images/trapjaw/Trap_1_8.jpg

Looking good mate!!! I certainly wouldnt want to be bitten by the dude!!! owwww nasty set of teeth!

cheers bullet

OK think the head is done for now - just need to do inner mouth.

1) Changed the helmet so it much simplifier than before but yet looks better.

2) Added a metal rim to the edge of the upper lips - just to show how the lips are supported in the upper part.

3) Placed the cheeks slightly over the mouth cogs but when smoothed it became a little lost - will sort it out after.

http://www.ravage3d.com/images/trapjaw/Trap_1_9.jpg

You are doing well mate...keep it up!!

cheers bullet

Left hand done and also added the cogs to the jaw.

Need to teck him up a little

http://www.ravage3d.com/images/trapjaw/Trap_1_10.jpg

Your models comming on well tweetytunes are you doing it mainly from picture 2..........dave

Well yes and no - but mostly yes - will be changing him in places and did not like how he did the jaw.

Don't worry Bullet he misses One leg and an arm so needles to say he will not catch up LOL.

Looks nice are you planning to go to a sculpting package?:beer:

Great work,

Looking to see where you take this man.

Personally I would like to see some mech/flesh hybrid there, but thats me.

Steve

bahahah he would still catch me mastone....I only have 1 good leg and cant run anymore...so evenly matched.

cheers bullet

your all wrong - he has no legs - hehehehehe

bahahahah he would still catch me tweety!!!

cheers bullet

Sorry for hogging your post tweety

Yeh sorry Tweety,

I shattered my left tib and fib 3 years ago, then they wanted to amputate (hospital f***up), then they didnt look after me. I went back to work and made a cripple of myself...long story BUT I am still quick..dont worry about that. And yes we are tough....ken oath. I will tell you about it one day.
