WHOA, that price is great. I really need to enter this challenge.
I am going to model the blues brothers. Not sure if i am going to make them both, but i will start with Jake ( the more fatter one ).

Here are some screenshots:

The game is also done in 3D:

And a photo for reference:

The only photo of the side view i could find.

I will try to make them in high poly. And i'm going to kick myself if i lose my motivation.
I don't know yet what my own modification on the characters is going to be, so i will see later.

Oh well, I'm not sure if i may model this characters, since they do exist in real life.
Let me hear if that's okay.

Good luck people.

It should be ok, if you probably loose the movie as a reference and try to really make it your own. Maybe even try switching up the genre... Blues Brothers.... IN SPACE! or something. lol

[bullet_evader]

Ok, thanks Mike. I will see what modifications i can add to them.
If i have something cool I will let you know and start modeling.

[mtmckinley]

How about, the Blues Sisters!

HEHE that sounds great Mike, but i allready working on a girl model ( for a very long time ). And i don't feel like to make 2 new ones again.

Thanks for the advice though.

Anyhow, i was thinking about modifying the 2 blues brothers in 2 simply civilians. The idea is that they are walking on street with their dogs. The thin blues civilian (!) has a small thin dog, and the fat blues civilian (!) have a thick fat dog.

Well, just an idea that pops into my mind. Don't know if it make sense. It's a LOT of work though, and i don't think i can get it done in the remaining time.

Looks like i have to search for a smaller scene.

EDIT: I've allready have an idea ( again ). What about making the 2 blues brothers in to an angel and a devil. Like in cartoons. If someon has to make a choiche between good and bad, an angel and a devil is popping up above his/her head.
Well, i could try to make that.... IF thats allright!?!

Okay, Here is the start of the model. I will try to make a sketch for you later, to show you what my idea is.

believe it or not, but this is going to be Jake the angel. I wouldn't get rid of the sunglasses.

EDIT: okay, here is a sketch. Not sure about the clothes. I think they need to be more angel-like.
Anyhow, I wants to give small wings.

Looks like a nice start, Bullet! Will be interested to see how you get on with this one.

[Blueflies]

I love the concept, that's definitely an original spin on them. Looks like it's going well so far, can't wait to see more.

[bullet_evader]

Thanks for the compliments guys, let's hope i can get this one finished

Here's a small update:

Yeah i know, he looks a bit sad for an angel, but i think that will look fun in the final render.

Don't be affraid Mike. Looks like i just copying the blues brothers. But i simply won't get rid of the had and sunglasses. They are so typicall for the blues brothers. They are to important to get rid of.
Anyhow, i will try to make the other clothes a bit more like angelish and devilish. I think i will give Jake the angel a bare belly with lots of hair. Will be looking scary, but funny too.

[bullet_evader]

Okay, the head is almost finished now.

To bad we can't use models wich we made before. I really wanted to use the ear of my other model. But since that is against the rules i had to make a new one! It isn't looking that good. But since it won't be that much visible, it shouldn't be a problem.

Head is done!

[admiralbcd]

awesome progress! :bow:
like the idea too....

I was thinking, since John Belushi is the only one dead....
How about Elwood running away from the cops and the cops getting zapped by Jake the Angel.
'We're STILL on a mission from god' kinda thing.

Update:

I'm not going for anatomic correct.

@dmiralBcd: Nice idea, but i don't know if i make that in time. So i will keep it in mind. But for now, i will first make jake and elwood in angel and devil figures.

[t1ck135]

looking really good, I love the angel devil spin, very cool.

Maybe give the angel a white hat and shades and the devil a dark red hat and shades?

[bullet_evader]

That's a nice idea to change the colors of the clothes, I will keep the clothes of elwood black though, because i will change the skin to red.
