Queen of the Underworld: Medusa's Secret Hideout

[RetrogamerMax]

So how well do you guys think that the Sakurai moveset quote lineup well for Medusa's chances? I wish I could say VERY well since as a unique fighter Medusa would have a very unique moveset, but I see her only potential chance of getting in is as a Echo if possible honestly.

Has anyone seen Wonder Woman: Bloodlines? It features in it an incarnation of Medusa voiced by guess who... Cree Summer! Though this Medusa is nowhere near as beautiful as Uprising Medusa.

I KNEW that I was right in making those Wonder Woman/Kid Icarus comparisons/connections, so even that voice acting in-joke has an emotional payoff for me.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Dunno if anyone's doing any model tweaks on what I uploaded here, but I put her through SPICA to research how to make a more accurate model if anyone's interested. Main issue I notices was that my current model doesn't have a fade and her hair itself animates the textures.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Congratulations everyone, we have just passed page 40!

Jovian the Conqueror In my objective and totally unbiased opinion, there's no version of Medusa more beautiful than the KIU one. /s
Dalek_Kolt I have yet to open the file you shared a while ago, but still, I don't remember the first thing about 3D modeling and stuff, I studied that like 15 years or so ago and never did anything with it. XD But that new model looks great in my opinion.
A little inside on Smash Bros development, maybe Medusa's sideboob is an issue :v

At best, they can try and cover it up.

Not that she needs it.

I bought a new tablet and it makes me so happy. For practice's sake I fixed one of my old sketches

You make Medusa look more beautiful then she already is.

I know I can't help but make Kid Icarus and Pygmalio comparisons, but...

 

[Klaymoor]

Maybe it's because they both kinda look a basic villain in their respective goddess/human form?

Meanwhile, I’m probably more likely to make comparisons to Saint Seiya/Knights of the Zodiac for Kid Icarus’ anime influences.

He says, having only seen a handful of episodes of the original series, the Netflix remake, and clips of the 2014 movie Legend of Sanctuary.

Athena from that series sure does look a lot like Lady Palutena.

Testing out my new tablet! :D

Gentlemen, I believe we haven't had an outside artist's Medusa fan art in a good while. Let's change that, shall we?

is that the SSB3DS trophy model or the idol model from TMR?

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Neither, it should be her boss model from Chapter 9.

 

[ZenythSmash]

Might be some kind of ultra blasphemy, but I also ripped Hades.

that cold disinterest on Medusa's face XD

HOLY, somebody finally ripped it! even Hades!
you're a lifesaver (again, haha), her boss and cutscene models is all i ever need for any potiental Brawl modding i do with her in the deep future

also are you planning to other characters as well? would be nice to get the multiplayer Pit models, Viridi, and Amazon Pandora...

Wasn't planning on it, but I can look for them.
Also porting Medusa will be easier said than done, a good chunk of what makes her model work is vertex colors on the model itself...

also please do

has Smashified/Curiomatic done anything new as of late after the Crono render?

Let’s see...
Off the top of my head, they were working on an HD demo version of Bomberman Hero, designing a theoretical Snowboard Kids 3, and helping create an Open-source game/animation character.
So yeah.

What I have so far:
A bunch of Hades variations. Unfortunately I don't know how to put his textures together, especially the last one.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Also Pandora

(Sees that the Amazon Pandora model has been ripped)
YOU WIN!!
In all seriousness, this is a job well done, Dalek_Kolt .

 

[Wolfie557]

Would anyone wanna take over the medusa twitter?

I can't keep it alive regularly.

 

[Jovian the Conqueror]

I've got to laugh at how many forms Hades has, when Medusa only has two.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Since my model got some attention again, wanted to throw up how her model works and how I colored her snakes. This is why I said modding her in was going to be difficult.
Unless...
ZenythSmash , you asked me if I used the 3DS trophy as a reference. There a chance you have that model? That might be textured differently.

 

[Klaymoor]

I remember someone shared a link to her trophy a while ago, can't seem to find it, though

I would check page 30 onwards for that model. That’s the page range I recall that it was posted then (largely because I joined the thread at around that time).

sorry to keep you waiting! (**** having no internet STILL)

Ha! Found it on page 31!

I don't blame ya, Hades' texturing is frustratingly complex to put together.

Also PandoraView attachment 250723

Ooooh! Nice!
Can you export her swords, bombs and fake chest traps too?

So I have good news and bad news; Bad news being that her Smash model also has vertex colors (Also had to extract it from the original file format rather than the .obj since color information doesn't export there)

Good news is that her Smash textures are compatible with her Uprising model.

Got both versions. Good luck with putting her together.

i'll try my best

also since we have an upcoming medusa mod for Brawl (via BrawlEX/PM), what does everyone think of it?
i like how Kitsu creatively used a reapette for her forward smash to creatively replace Palutena's wing attack

 

[Klaymoor]

Can I have a link? Haven't seen anything about that

[Klaymoor]

I really like it, and honestly she doesn't look so weird running around and jumping with her long dress. I hope this mod could end up being applied to other games like Smash 4 and Ultimate

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Link to my updated Medusa model with the new textures.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Started work on the lieutenants. Twinbellows is hell to texture.
