[Mixamo Contest] Zombie Biker

Luke_Starkie

Hey guys, thought I'd go with a zombie biker. Just came to me and felt right i guess haha. At the moment I'm just coming up with ideas for a concept, so i have created a mood board.

RogerP

like the idea

lloyd

Sounds interesting, will be good to see them tattoos around the ripped flesh bits

Luke_Starkie

Cheers guys It turns out I'm not good at sketching anymore, so the concept once its been uploaded will have to do, which disappoints me.

Luke_Starkie

Rough as it is, but it gives me the idea of what i want to go for. I always enjoy thinking of stuff on the way.

Luke_Starkie

Another, more detailed concept although i had to take it on my phone (scanner is broken) But in all honestly I'm not the best drawer so this will have to do.

Anais

Cool. I can see how you could make a studded leather jacket for him... With a ripped wife-beater type top underneath. Cool idea, Luke!

Luke_Starkie

Cheers man. Fully want to start sculpting now!

I'm going to assume you meant "ma'am".

/feiningvexation :P

Luke_Starkie

My bad haha.

Luke_Starkie

Haven't got to the point where i have much to show, just want to have views whether i should go for the muscular biker guy, or the fat biker guy haha?

Anais

Fat biker guy!!

Luke_Starkie

Yesssss!, and hmmmm not too sure at the moment. Thoughts? And those shit masks are a to show where tattoos will be placed...

Anais

Nice!!

Luke_Starkie

Thanks Another update

Avanthera

Be careful not to get too lumpy, Zombie faces are usually messed up and such, but skin doesn't do that in any case.

Especially on the cheeks and below the ears. I actually prefer your previous update, though even that one has some lumpiness to it.

Good luck!

Edit:
If you are going for some wrinkly skin like in your moodboards, try to sculpt loos skin folds, or alternatively, try to sculpt some harsh cuts and gouges if that's what you are going for.

(like in your ref! )

Luke_Starkie

Thanks for the input, i know what you mean man. Near the ear i was trying to make the ear look stretched and as if its tearing but needs work obviously. I'll see what i can sort out. Cheers!

Anais

I like the idea of showing some loose skin. Like under his eyes, for example... Imagine his skin being stretched and showing some flesh/blood under his eyeballs. Just an example but I like Shrew81's comment regarding skin texture.

Luke_Starkie

Just done a quick poly paint to split up some areas.To give and idea what you're looking at. And good idea Anais. Cheers!

Luke_Starkie

Not happy at all, i turned my computer on and all my recent work has gone. Looks like i'm going to have to start again!

lotet

I know It sucks, but You ALWAYS make a better sculpt the second time =P

Luke_Starkie

Yeah definitely man, Ive thought about fully changing the concept/idea now but its still loads of pissing about. And well done on your vampire man that looks amazing!

EDIT: Since i lost all of my work for the biker, I'm going to do a completely do a different idea. I'm thinking a zombie, which has no eyes, and hunts through the smell of blood, like sharks. The virus which infects the zombie/human erases the visual system and replaces it with a stronger smell sense. As well as the eyes being mutated, various over mutations occur (which will be shown in the concept).

Once Ive got a concept done, I'll edit my first post and state Ive switched ideas.:)
