Survivor guy or whatever he looks like

Luke_Starkie

Yo guys,
Working on more of an average character for my portfolio and I'm really needing some Crits.
-So whatever you got throw it at me, I usually spend most of my time sculpting creatures so this ones a nice change.

-Latest Post: Save ye some scrolling!





Old:
Render (of what i got so far and never mind the pink banner in the corner just me being silly ):



Zbrush viewport:

First of all, nice looking sculpt the render looks some what vague on right side. Another thing I noticed is the symmetry in the pants. It is too obvious, try to make one leg a quite different.



Here you can see that pants often have flat pieces with some small wrinkles and ending in sharp folds. Same with the tshirt, try to make the wrinkles a bit smaller.
like here:



Make these changes and you are one step closer to awesome looking character
Keep it up

Luke_Starkie

Thanks a lot pal, started making some changes according to what you stated. I'll upload an image soon! Really struggling with making some shoes though! Argh

Luke_Starkie

Made the changes that Aardschok stated, also added some shoes, really aren't sure if I should move onto retopo and the bake yet as i am fairly happy with how it is but need a second opinion!
- Anyway images (I gotta stop playing about with renders)

I think you should revisit the wrinkles on the pants and vest. Your wrinles are almost evenly distributed instead of being at the points of tension (or lack of) Also some of them look razor sharp which is kind of odd to me, like the ones by the armpits.





I did a quick paintover of your characters head also. No huge changes, just tweaks the proportions a bit.

Cheers man I know what you're saying with the clothing folds and stuff, they definitely seem to harsh and random. Gonna give them another attempt!

Also I'm not too keen on changing the face at the moment but cheers love your work man!

Luke_Starkie

Had another go with the folders ect....

I would make those crotch wrinkles a bit more subtle.
U nailed the rest of pants,its much better now,but due to removal of the "noisy' wrinkles all over the pants,u made that crotch area stand out way too much,at least to me.
Thought i beleive it does depend on a material u have in mind for pants,since they don't fold the same way.

Its a bit of universal style of char,right now,it gives away the look of survivor,or an army man.
Then again,with little addons,like this one u can easily make him into hunter/fisherman or dock/construction worker

mr_ace

you're getting there on the pants, but the bottom of the legs is looking pretty weird. use more reference to get a better idea of how the material bunches up and the creases it forms down there

Luke_Starkie

@ 4evra and mr_ace,
Thanks a lot guys I'll give them another touch up to what you guys said, also the pants I am sculpting are actually denim jeans if that helps?

Also I think I'm going to stick with the survivor idea, I'll probably just give him more asset's to make him more 'survivor'.

Luke_Starkie

Think I am calling the Jeans done...
EDIT: Got a feeling this Is gonna look a lot nicer once baked and textured.

Luke_Starkie

Yo guys, just done a test bake for the head and arms (and sleeves of the shirt). Liking how its looking so I'll continue with the rest of the retopo!
The pictures a bit shit, just a screen grab but will do for now.

butt_sahib

wow you really improved with those folds!
Goodjob!

SA_22

yeah folds look 100% better now! gd job

Luke_Starkie

Thanks a lot guys! Anyway this is the final test bake with all of the Low-Poly, gonna lay out the proper UV's now. Cant wait to start texturing!

Luke_Starkie

Done the UV's and started texturing dem' jeans

Luke_Starkie

Still working on those textures, no where near finished but meh. Also the tribal tattoo is just a place holder, going to do something a but more creative later on.
