Lieutenant bust

mariomanzanares

Hi polycounters!

Here's the first bust I do from concept to zbrush, and then lowpoly and textures for the game-ready model. My Zbrush skills were a little bit rusted, so this is indeed an small project before the big one for my portfolio.

I'm pretty happy with the asset, but all the comments and critics are very appreciated!

And here's the not-so-awesome sketchfab version for you yo play with it

This is awesome! Nice work!

over all this look good, but i think you could apply more tonal variation as well and adjust some of the shapes on the head. the skull could be slightly lower in height and have a more angled look like in the concept. the eyes could be slightly smaller and you could try pushing in the tear duct corners of the eye lids to reduce the slight cross-eyed effect it has right now. the neck could also be wider and more visible.

edit, did a paintover to show what i meant

BradMyers82: Thanks dude!

MM: Wow, I really appreciate you took the time to do an overpaint! I admit that I was worried by the cross-eyed feeling at the end... I will have your opinion in mind next time, but I have to say that I like when the 3D differs from my original concept because it's some kind of "evolution". Anyway, when you are working on a "real" project you have to stay close to the concept, so I think you are right!

dustinbrown: Thanks for your sincere critic. To be honest, I overused the Flatten and HPolish brushes. Next time I'll be more subtle. By the way, I'm a big fan of your alchemist!

Looking nice, really cool presentation
Which font is that ?

mariomanzanares

Shrike: Thanks! The font it's called inky. And yeah, choosing it was the hardest part of the project...

mariomanzanares

Thanks chrisradsby! I'm planning to do more stuff like this.

Hey man, just looked at your portfolio again, and was thinking you should waste no time getting this guy up there. The current sculpt you have there isn't so great, but like I said this totally is! You must have learned a lot since that sculpt, congrats dude!
