Inglourious Basterds's "Gorlami" Scene 3D Fanart

It's already Monday and I've had the ants in my pants since morning before I even woke up yet but the peeps on Artstation haven't announced the contest brief. Apparently it's because I live 8 hours in the future I'll have to stay calm until 9.00 pm my local time.

So, I have got time to finish the Inglourious Basterds fanart and share it here. Though, this is probably gonna be one of my works that won't make it to my portfolio. But anyway, here it is, the infamous "Gorlami" scene...

One thing I noticed only recently is how Lt. Raine gave away his disguise at his very first word in his conversation with Hans Landa by saying "Buon giorno" which means "Good morning" in English, while the scene happened during the evening.

Being a quirky villain, Instead of announcing "I know you're a spy! Surrender yourselves!" and apprehended the Basterds right away, Hans Landa decided to be like, now I know they are American spies, but I'm gonna have fun with them anyway, hehe. And went on with the "Gorlami" scene, which I find brilliant.

The dialogue piece written on the red background is the second idea for it. Initially, I would have put the dialogue in speech bubbles, which left the red background either too empty or with a big swastika symbol, which didn't look all that good for the scene.

The original title uses the font Egyptian Wide, but I used its free alternative instead--Fette Egyptienne--which can be found here. And no, I'm not Italian so I had to look it up to put the Italian version of that piece of dialogue.

I'm pretty happy with the sculpts, but not as much with the texturing. I'm quite confused as to how can I practice texturing more often because texturing is 2 to 3 stages ahead of sculpting, not including the concept rating, which can be quite a long process before I get to that.

^{First iteration for the final render}

Initially, I thought I'd make Aldo does that Italian approval hand gesture then everything suddenly Italian like the Basterds did in the movie, but that makes Aldo's knife won't have a spot in this rendered scene.

All in all, it turned out not as stylized as I imagined, but I'll carry on everything I have learnt from working on this fanart to the next ones.

But but butt! 🍑 For the next one, I hope I can write a story about the character again and let's see if my writing is improving or not. So when you do visit my post again, I suppose you might want to prepare for a headache.

Arrivederci~

Another neat illustration! It looks pretty great, and that use of the red backdrop for the dialogue is a neat use of the available space to make the scene more wholesome! It's been a while since I last watched Inglorious Basterds, but out of all the scenes, this is one that I've remembered fondly. I cracked up when I heard Brad Pitt's heavy American accent trying to speak in Italian XD

How is the glove not falling down? XD

As cute as the hand gesture is I think it's much cuter and a bit better balanced with both of them very obviously hiding weapons behind their backs :)

I donno I think it's kind of smart to not let on immediately that you know who your opponent is when they don't know that you know, you might be able to find out more stuff that way xD

If you want to practise texturing more you can either download someone's free models and just practise texturing, or you can just keep doing little projects and picking things up as you go.

_{Alternately you can be a dumbarse like me and learn things while working on a big project x_x but doing it any other way is more sensible XD}

This is very cool ! 3D art is now evolving and much more realistic. I remember finding how to draw 3D was like finding a cool magic back then.
