Hey everyone :poly124: I came across the concept art for the not yet released champion Ao Shin and thought it was just too awesome. I had to make it. Good luck to everyone!

goodluck ^^
Evening numbah 2 of sculpting. Initial block out complete. The next phase will be to get the top view silhouette working better.
Cheers!
I may also scale down his arms. I wanted to make them imposing and powerful but now that I've read what little info there is about this hero I imagine him to be more of an elemental damage type rather then brute force (physical dmg). So to reflect that I'm going to try toning down the emphasis on the claws.
Didn't get much done last night, just a few proportion changes. Thanks for the feedback guys, I very much like the results.
Took a break from sculpting tonight and did a little bit of photoshop work to make sure the shapes are working with the colors I want to use before I finalize the model.
For anyone who wants a quick way to set up a composite image like this, you can use your render from zbrush, then use gradient maps with layer masks attached to color each section. It's really fast.
Unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on this lately.
Just gotta finish up the texture and do the final final presentation! w00t. EDIT: for anyone using marmoset tool bag 2. remember to turn off the "use mips" setting if you plan to take a screenshot larger then your screen resolution. blurry texture = no good! ( image below has a blurry texture compared to the previous images!)
i'd say you have all the makings of an awesome model but the texture is lacking mostly in the macro departments. i lightened up and added a lot of contrast towards the face to bring your eye to the important features. i have an overall gradient from the tail to the head to help that too. i also eliminated a lot of your highlights because they were looking like outlines in some areas and just painted the shape directly. any area i could define your shapes more i tried too. i think i'm a bit too heavy in the AO department but i think you get picture. i love the detail, the proportions, and the colors. i just wanted to define those features a bit more. anyway, i hope this helps! let me know
Riot has a very limited range for how much saturation/value they use on characters to mantain the game's visual hierarchy(which they go over here). So instead of make things brighter I've dropped the darks to increase the contrast and I think it achieves the kind of results you are suggesting!
i didn't know about the limited range they used but now that i know i kind of want to make a champ too lol
