I decided my original crude Super-Wu-Man model was inadequate for my purposes at this point, so I am redoing the whole thing from scratch. Mostly my problem with the original model was the facial topography, and the hot dog fingers, because they were limiting his range of expression too much. Anyway, it’s a fairly humble start, but I have high hopes for this one.
The progress is good so far. I like the teeth on it. Are you using any reference images?
No reference images, but it is intended to look vaguely like Super-Wu-Man, who was the subject of a weird mania here at BlenderArtists. Ive been working on an animation project based on it off and on for over a year now, but I have no idea when it will actually materialize.
Looks awsome so far, but just because only his largest teeth are showing doesn’t mean he only has those 4 teeth. It would be awsome if you modified the classic super wu design to make him look like the real perosn he’s supposed to represent, maybe the eyes or something.
Nice start Modron. Where’s the Wu-Man gotten to anyway?
Watch him magically appear to talk about how…I don’t even need to say it.
Super Wu was just a short lived fad, I see Chuck Norris mentioned a lot more them him.
Wu is back!!! Not much too see so far but what is there looks good. I can’t wait to see this finished!
yes…Wu. I loved the original, saw it in Introducing Character Animation.
Woohoo!!! HES BACK! Rock on modron, cant wait to see this finished…
And yeah, Ive been missing him…edited for content
(not a weird mania at all)
Noobhaxor, you are probably thinking of andys superwuman that he did for the BWC, my original one was done much more hurriedly, I only wish I had taken the time to make nice edge loops before I got too carried away. andys superwuman rules, btw. totally awesome rendition. I haven’t seen introducing character animation, though, so I don’t know for sure if that’s the one. There were so many Super Wu Men at the time, there must have been several dozen at least.
Made a bit of progress on this, I decided to retopo him with better edge loops, to accomodate the shape of the mask. I just extruded it out temporarily to see what it looks like before finishing his head. I’m thinking of leaving the top of his hood open this time, and taking advantage of the new hair system.
That mask won’t help him if a Dragon bites into his face.
Besides I haven’t seen Super-Wu on this forum in months. Maybe a Dragon ate him:cool:
So he even have his own model, wow 
Very good start so far, the cartoony style is great. (you’re trying everything to make him come back to this forum? hehehe)
CDragon: you know, dragons are just hens with lizardskin, I don’t think they could eat him, but maybe he could eat them. 
Well, actually, there were several models made of SuperWu, probably a dozen or so, if not more. I started working on this anim though, on and off, and I keep making it more complicated, as I go, so it’s taking awhile. The original model I shelved, because it was too basic to have good expressions. don’t listen to CD, he flies into fits at the mention of SuperWu probably out of jealosy.
(edit) btw check out andyD’s anim if you get the chance, he made probably one of the best models.
couldn’t resist playing around with some shape keys heheh
OooOooh, sexy as ever. However, what kind of ladies do you expect SuperWu will woo with those straight teeth? Far to ordinary, you could almost pass him off as a man who had braces.
Nice

I will definately have to UV paint some bad gunk on them at the very least, and I just realized I forgot his goate, I may have to break out the hair grooming tools.
Face it, I’d rather make the Wal-Mart smiley out of cardboard then talk about Wu’s mojo. Also, Rore, I think you’re talking about wyverns, Dragons either have fully functioning arms or they’re quadruped.
Far to ordinary, you could almost pass him off as a man who had braces.
Haha, braces, maybe I secretly contacted his orthidontest to put braces on him so he’ll only be admired at the local chess club, he doesn’t rock the girls and his fans, just the chess players:RocknRoll:
This one looks more fit than the previous super Wu. Good progress!
