beautiful face

chemotoledo

Nice and clean sculpt man! I like it so far, my only suggestions would be to make his face a bit older, right now it looks like a child/kid age, but great work so far  

omen47

Awesome! Good luck!

jmiles

Great stuff @leoartz!  looking forward to more of this guy!

Darkzan

A young version of Wukong? i like it. The face is soo clean, love the hair. can't wait to see your update.

NguyThuyNgan

I'm afan of your through artstation, 
The Wukong face so emotional and youthful.
Good job!! Please keep it up

FemCharles

great start! I think currently he might look a bit too young but that all depends on what you are going for. I look forward to the updates

leoartz

@ NguyThuyNgandoses222jmilesDarkzan @  omen47:Thank you
@ charlotte and chemotoledo , yes I am making him younger by design. let's see how it turns out in the end

here is a little update. still playing with the design.

leoartz

Sculpt done. Moving to Low Poly. Might take some nicer renders of the sculpt in some time  

TheIceWolves

Awesome! Good luck on your lowpoly.
All of Wukong Skin's tri count is around 6k - 8k, Hope you keep the count close to that. Waiting for the next Update

FemCharles

Looks great! Really nice clean sculpt. I think for me the head might be slightly too small. I made a quick gif.


I cant wait to see the low

leoartz

Thank you charlotte, Yes you are right. Have made the head bigger and here are some final renders for the high poly. 

RogerP

MMmm super clean. Proportions are looking great too!

leoartz

Thank you RogerP.

Been playing with the colours over the weekend. Here is something that iam Happy with :-)

necromancer

coming out nice  

GeneralSoundwave

This is looking great!

Benefix

Nice work, man!!! How did you make such cool tail in zbrush? Did you do each piece separately?

And I want to take u some advice, he has strange legs, maybe can move them closer? What do you think?

leoartz

Thank you @necromancer and @GeneralSoundwave. @Benefix I Did each piece separately in maya :-). Also thanks for pointing out the legs, seems fine to me but shall check out once again :-)

GulliblePotato

Excellent work bud. Personally I feel as if he is too baby faced and it creates a disturbing contrast with the facial hair. 

Might I ask what material you are using?

leoartz

Thanks man, about the material , i use render the hi poly in maya with arnold with some custom materials :-)

Wouldnt be doing much work this weekend. and here is the progress so far of the texturing.Been painting the golden bits of the character so far,.Iam going for a painted metal look.Still a long way to go but nevertheless a small update
