Retrogasm - Yurnero the OG Juggernaut

Sukotto

Thought I would post my Retrogasm entry here too for the sake of visibility and critique. I'll be making Yurnero, the original Juggernaut from Dota 1/Warcraft 3. I'm looking to make him in the same style as Heroes of the Storm so I've been using a lot of the Orcs in the game for reference.

Anyway, I just got everything blocked in so here's where my progress is at. I'd appreciate any anatomy crits for anything that might appear off. I'll be going over his body again to refine/fix some things, especially his hands and feet since they're pretty rough.

A bit more work on him. It's getting there!

Love it! Keep it up!

Sukotto

Thanks man! More progress, almost done with the sculpt, then moving on to retopo!

Long time no update guys! Got the bakes done for him so now I can finally start texturing, though have a few small things to fix. Like I said in earlier posts, I'll be going for a Heroes of the Storm look but I'm a bit unsure of how to match it. The in-game models look like they have have quite a bit of handpainted lighting and some specular, but I'm not too sure if they actually utilize normal maps from the sculpt. Here's a pic of Thrall to compare if anyone has any insight to share

More progress! Unlit shot here, would appreciate any texture feedback

I like the model

MadGunslinger

Digging it, but I really think the skin shade should be a bit lighter. Feels too dark atm. But apart from that, great work so far! Keep it up!

Looks great, but what MadGunslinger said, he does look a bit dark. Maybe its because hes unlit though. I like it .

Sukotto

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll definitely keep that in mind, his skin may lighten up when I apply the spec to it

I hope you don't mind, but I did a paintover with some suggestions for texture stuff.

Sukotto

Dude spot on!

Sukotto

Finished this guy for the contest! Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback! I think I made it a better piece because of it
