space beer!

BlackulaDZ

a character i've been workin' on, finally got around to doing a test bake, here's a max screengrab:

he stands at about 2500 polys so far. I still need to make a few trinkets, his fishing rod, maybe a chair, and a cooler full of space beer. Also i need to settle on colors. any comments heavily appreciated

I was mislead by the title but great model, love the idea and that test bake looked clean as!

Shogun3d

My only problem is that it looks like you took the upper top of the mesh and cloned it up, merged and baked it. I would look at larger unified forms.

AnimeAngel

ya I have to agree, the arms and eyes both look like they were just cloned. They could use some variation or something to make it more believable. Plus I think your googles on his head are missing a few lenses, probably should be 4 lens glasses. Overall the model looks good and pretty decent bake, keep it up

renderhjs

looks like you used the clone brush , it has the copy paste effect without harmonizing well.

BlackulaDZ

hm, thanks for the suggestions! and as for the cloning, I duplicated the arms of the basemesh and attached them before sculpting. I'll play around with adding some asymmetry though...

Zotter

I like the look. It just seems that the eye's especially the second pair on top are kind of flat like costume eyes, maybe push a little further in and further out where it's needed on those.

BlackulaDZ

still tweaking some stuff on the sculpt, but here's the fishing rod and cooler WIP

Snader

Renderhjs and kaburan aren't talking about asymmetry (i think) but about anatomy.

The extra arms just plop out of nowhere: there's no indication of extra shoulders, the eye-bags would sag differently on the forehead, more to the side. Such things.

BlackulaDZ

aaah alright alright, my bad. i'm going to gather some more reference and make a bunch of changes.

update:

i tweaked a few things in zbrush, flattened out the feet a bit and pushed in the eyes, changed the arms a bit and made him taller, still some more to do before I bake him again.

reminds me of abelard snazz from 200ad:)
