WIP 2099 Street Agent

Asura

Hey guys,  i'm planning on doing a near futuristic street agent. Making this a challenge to myself to get used to the high poly - low poly PBR workflow. Ill be going for a stylized approach but grounding it on the moderately realistic side. Ill be using Zbrush for high poly, Maya for low and Quixel for PBR stuff.

My base so far:

Asura

Started playing around with hair and clothes. I shortened up his jawline and tried to go for a more movie star/ model look. I made base shapes using some morphed spheres and used SupremeFunk's Squaretubes brush to add the finer strands. That brush is amazing  

Here is the hair: 


Here is the body so far, arms look a bit off so I'm going to play around with them a bit as well.

Asura

Been plugging away at this and added a layered chest plate. I'm going to be adding straps which will be a good chance to learn how to make my own IMM brushes lol. Really trying to drive the futuristic look now that i have a good clothing base. The plates I roughed out in zbrush, then exported them to Maya to sharpen up and send back over.

 The big thing I am working on as I go is balancing areas of rest and action. I'm going for making the chest a more detailed layered area while the shoulders and abs will probably get a single plate with some side straps.

Today's update with where I am at so far. Made the multi mesh for the straps on his back and added to the armor. Started adding some folds to the shirt but not too much as I will be putting a jacket on him later. Also the shirt is going to be pretty form fitting like slightly loose under armor.

Asura

Updated the chest plate and added his jacket. I also added IMM zippers. 

Asura

Added a gun holster and finished up the shoes. Moving on to retopo. 

Asura

Having some Import issues with the Jacket so for now I'm going to go with the vest only. I noticed that the crotch of the pants are a bit lacking so im touching up the folds and adding pockets as well.

Asura

Went back and fleshed out the face more to give him some personality. Going to take him into marvelous and try doing the shirt and pants there. 

Asura

Worked out the clothes base in marvelous designer. Going to need to redo the pants but I like how the shirt came out.

Cortes

nice forms but the face imo is a bit plain and needs more characterization. Consider also making the jeans folds asymmetrical too if possible.

@Cortes
Thx for the feedback dude! 
Like you mentioned I worked on the face a bit more. First time actually doing skin definition in zbrush lol. Came out pretty good but there is still a lot i would change next go round. I also went over some of the facial muscles with a friend and was able to give the nose, cheeks, and Jaw a proper pass. I tried to go for a more tired seasoned look.
