Tomb King Shield

Danglebob

Hey everyone! Found a neat concept for Warhammer Online and thought i'd give it the ol' college try as a practice/warm up model for a more serious project.

My goals for this are:

• Use Sketchfab effectively to show off a prop.
• Create a hand painted heavy diffuse
• Derive a normal and spec from the diffuse
• Polish to portfolio quality

Here's the concept

Tonights update!

Looks good to me so far, you could stand to push the highlights on the wing sections IMO. Also I feel the curve in the scorpion tail could be more gradual as the sudden curve in the last to sections is a little jarring for me. Other than that I think it looks pretty cool so far. Are you planning to make a weapon/ character to go alongside it?

Grayson

Looking solid so far. I agree with the tail being to sudden on the curve. Can't wait to see it finished.

Danglebob

@SmilingMountain Thanks for the feedback. I agree about the curvature of the tail. Ill be adjusting that tonight. and as far as making a character and weapon, i dont think so. I do plan on making another shield or weapon after this, so maybe ill theme it to this guy.

Danglebob

Tonight's small progress. plus bonus blood edition.

Here's the final. going to move on to the next shield and/or weapon. This time im going to attempt zbrush. As always any critique is greatly appreciated!

It's nice, but you should consider adding more polygons, because those sharp edges are really visible. Add as many as you need to get it round and smooth. Noone will kill you for it, and it will look much better.
