Ghobad the Persian Warrior Archer

This entry is part 5 of 5 in the series Game Char­ac­ter Models

This is our lat­est Per­sian War­rior char­ac­ter in a series of four. Ghobad is the leader of the group and what he lacks in strength and brute force com­pared to the other war­riors he makes up for it using his cun­ning wits and his excel­lent marksmanship.

The model is done by Reza Ramezani using Zbrush 3.1, based on a con­cept by Faraz Shan­yar and it has taken about 36 hours so far for the model alone. We still haven’t moved to Zbrush 3.5 yet but with all the fab­u­lous fea­tures it has, we won’t be resist­ing long. For those of you inter­ested you can read more about some of its great­est fea­tures such as Zspheres II and Zsketch on the pixo­logic website.

      I’m sorry you don’t like our depic­tion of Per­sian war­riors but in our opin­ion these are nei­ther demean­ing or offen­sive images. As Ira­ni­ans we are very proud of our her­itage and our goal was to cre­ate char­ac­ters that were fun, unique and based on our own vision, and based on the feed­back we have received, most of our vis­i­tors liked them.
      I believe your com­ments were not intended to be used as con­struc­tive criticism.

      • I think you watched 300 many many times!
        It is not funny at all as I said it’s dis­gust­ing as Per­sian war­riors in 300.
        and you should get more that 4 feed­back to be sure this Bald Char­ac­ters are funny.

          I per­son­ally watched 300 once and I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love the movie either, it was more an MTV video clip than a movie for me.

          The Per­sian war­riors were not dis­gust­ing in 300, they were just depicted as bad guys by the hol­ly­wood machine and it is not the first or the last time that hol­ly­wood por­trays a peo­ple incor­rectly. Believe me, it wasn’t aimed at you per­son­ally or the Per­sian peo­ple, it was aimed at mak­ing more money; that is always the prime objec­tive in the movie industry.

          I’m sorry our char­ac­ters dis­gust you but I have a feel­ing you’re eas­ily dis­gusted. These char­ac­ters are very dear and respect­ful to me and the artists who worked on them.

          Just to let you know, I’m bald and extremely funny and I’ve had tons of feed­back on our char­ac­ters. Every­one loves them!
