Kamul improvement Thread

Hey Guys, going gud ?

Since I am working and studying toward being a character artist , I thought it would be great  to have some visibility and get critiques on my projects from people on polycount, knowing here is a place where I use get so many tips and motivation, just by readying other peoples thread, to keep working hard and getting better.

So decided to create one thread for me and I'll be posting characters I'm working on, going through the whole process  and hoping to get any critiques you guys may have and of course, improve a lot.

Right now I'm working on this character, Arcanne Zatanna, vased on the concept by Devon Cady Lee

Still in the highpoly fase, detailling stuff and correcting proportions

Colored her skin a bit and blocked some color on her clothes. 
Refining her bit by bit ,but actually I'm looking more into reference of sculpting styles to see where I can go more in this part




For references for that, I'm looking a lot at Chris Whitaker's works (https://www.artstation.com/artist/funkybunnies) since I really like his style, and some artists from heroes of the storm also, but not sure if I should mimic their style.

I'll keep updating as I progress, any critique or comment would be much appreciated

Just finished the retopology and baked everything and I've started working on the textures in substance Painter, still WIP.


Not sure yet about the look of it so I would love to receive any crits or any help and actually I've been also thinking giving a quixel a go to learn another software and see how different it is from SB.

Finished texturing, rigged and posed her

Here are the renders

Looks way cool. I wish I could zoom in that Marmoset viewer to get a better look.

Started a new project based on a illustration by Aleksandr Nikonov


It's been a great exercise since it has a lot of clothes and some hard surface parts that I'm not used doing so often

Here is where I'm at the moment



any critique or comment would be much appreciated

Kamul

Went ahead and did more refinement on whole character, still not satisfied with the character since something ( i guess the cloth) keeps bugging me.
Also made the gun and textured it



Critiques are soooooooooooooooooooo much appreciated

Those pants.  hnngg

Kamul

Hey @Brian "Panda" Choi, thx for the critique but , could you specify a tad more what you mean, please ?

I know I'm struggling with the whole cloth and the pants don't seem to have sense in the concept, or I'm not understanding it well, so what I did was to gather as much reference as I could, but still, I don't think I got to a quality that I'm happy with =(



these are some of the reference I've gathered for the cloth

Kamul

Didn't finish it yet, still studying some technics to make the texture better and wondering if I should go for hair planes or leave it how it is since is more stylized. Also played with lights in marmoset and took some renders
Let me know waht you guys think.

re did a lot of thing of him since I wasn't happy at all with the end result.
I think it's quite better and worth  the time a spent again on it, but now I'm anxious to start new projects!



Also added a marmoset viewer here:

Hey guys!

Finally updating this post after so long.

This is my latest personal project and decide to keep working towards stylized work, this time taking Blairs work and shardbound characters as inpiration.

The concept was done by Jon Comoglio
