Hello Folks!
So I have never posted an actual WIP thread here before, so I might as well start now!
What I am doing is fan art of a character from a pixel mobile game called ReDungeon by Nitrome. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to adapt a pixel character into a full 3D character. There aren't very many screenshots or concepts of this character, so I am taking some creative liberties.
The character has a big shield, but since the adaptation I wanted to do does not have a shield, I am giving him a cape of the same color. In place of his shield, he will be holding a stuffed animal of a character from another of Nitromes games, Leap Day.
My plans for this character are to texture it in an Overwatch style. My last project was realistic, I want to make this one my stylized. So I will be hand painting textures while using spec and gloss maps.
Any critiques on my current progress are always welcome!
