Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

It's taking a while to make this mask.  Not a lot of pics out there that tell me the right color.

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

Here is a good pic of the mask: (And a few more here, and here.)

I need to see the front as that's the most important part.
But from what I see, the color seems right, but the mask seems too thick.
(But it does have to cover that stud on top, so you may not be able to help that.

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

In response to the punching/kicking test, I haven't really analyzed the kick, but the punch really needs a lot more force behind it. Right now, it looks like all the force is coming from the arm, so it's more of a tap than a punch. You really need to get the legs and torso involved. I might be able to come up with some references later, but I'm about to go into class, so I can't right now.

How about you go take a look at the Red vs Blue episode "This One Goes Up To Eleven." IIRC, there's at least one running punch in there you could look at.

@Pritchard: Thanks mini/bigsmile
@Littlebrick: Actually, any episode with Tex beating people up would be a good reference.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

It'll never be an accurate match but this is the best I can do when it comes to a minifig version of the mask.

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

The top half of the mouth area is great! But I think it needs stuff on the bottom of the mouth like in this picture:

I think that if you add the tubes on bottom then you'll have a great mask.
But with Batman being tan on the last page, is the Bane mask on a random fig, or will he have taken too much Venom and it turned his skin yellow? mini/tongue

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

It's a stand-in texture. mini/tongue

I've been using this reference image, btw.

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

NICE!
I really wish Lego will do something like the this for TDKR wave, because I'm thinking about how great that piece would look in real life. Although it's probably too detailed for being that small...but a guy can always hope!

But back-on topic, I'm liking how this movie is coming out, all of the pics that you have showed us are stunning. And I'll be looking forward to its release!

New semester has started.  Time to close up shop again.  Will try to post some new stuff if I find time to make progress.

I considered adding his fur coat, but that would take too much time to design.

Started creating the set.  Still a work in progress.

Re: Winter 2011/2012 Animation

Hey, good to that you're still working on this.
The set is pretty basic, it's just a bunch of pillars and the blackness, so it looks really empty. I would suggest adding a car or two or three, and stars to the night sky. Other than that, it looks fine, just not very "Lego-y."

Anyway, what did you want me to say? "Oh, pretty pretty!"
I thought that you were wanting some critique, so I gave some. Did you have a different idea in mind for what my response should have been? Because I could probably edit it for you. mini/tongue
