Yet another 2014 Arenanet Art Test

JedTheKrampus

Spring break has finally rolled around and I've got the time to do something a little bit more involved. Over the past few days, I've made high-poly models from this concept.

Back:




I'd love to hear your critiques as I move on to texturing. The due date is real soon, so I plan to keep on rolling with retopo and texturing.

I finished it... to an extent. There's still quite a bit of fur missing from the concept, but I think it looks OK for my first full character.

I would really encourage you to do a ton of anatomy studies if characters are what you're looking to get into, it's the first thing to learn and the easiest for fellow humans to spot as "off."

These are my favorite free tutorials/resources, but there are plenty more around:

General
Character Design References (huuuuge reference library)
Posemaniacs, timed figure drawing w/ muscle systems
Vertex magazine, general awesomeness
ProkoTV, figure drawing tutorials
Cedarseed's anatomy tutorials, clean and simple

Modeling
Sergi Caballer's Facial Modeling Timelapse
Linh Nguyen's "How to Model a Head"

Animal Anatomy Resources, in case you want to do those too

Keep practicing and improving, I hope to see more from you in the future!:)

If you don't have anything useful to say, don't say anything at all.
