[Mixamo Contest] Zombie Salesman

skylebones

I started out making a zombie for a halloween image. But decided to switch modes and take part in this contest instead. Here is my current block out. Have a bit more damage to add to the suit, a briefcase to model, then onto zbrush!



[Latest Update]

lotet

that is the strangest topology ive ever seen, how does it animate?

character looks good though, keep it up.

skylebones

it's not made to be animated. This is just my base mesh before I bring it into Zbrush and use Dyna-mesh. Then I'll do a retopo pass for the final game model.

I think you wasted a lot of time making that complicated mesh if you are going to dynamesh it, the point of dynamesh is not having any concern about topology at all :P
Nice style anyway, i like it, keep it up

Anais

Cool idea, Skylebones.

"May I interest you in these fine body parts? Maybe a nice, freshly ripped off tongue or an almost complete hypothalamus?"

Your probably right. But it only took me a couple nights, and it's the way I've been working since before zbrush. And trust me, there was no concern for topology. It's very messy. One of these days I'll switch over and just start in zbrush.

skylebones

Here is the latest version, primed and ready for zbrush. I haven't decided what to put in the suitcase. I like your idea Anais about body parts. haha!

skylebones

Sharpening up some of the edges in Zbrush.



I also made a decision about the briefcase. I'll work on that next.

I see, you got a point there man, nice progress, love the face

Anais

Great progress, Skylebones!!

lotet

love it! the small details of the zbrush pass looks great!

Stiffler

I love the cartoony style. Reminds me of the Goon trailer Blur is making. The topology looks like it will animate FINE. You got enough loops on all the joints...that's all you need.

GILBoY

your character and sculture is awesome which material you are using

skylebones

Hey thanks! Sorry if some of the images are broken. I sold my domain this past week and I'm in the middle of transferring everything.

GILBoY - It a custom material made by Ralf Stumpf. I believe I picked it up from the Gnomon Workshop.

skylebones

Some early texture work. Just searching for the colors.

lotet

I know this is just your first pass n all, but your really overdoing the contrast in my opinion. Love the colors though

LOad

great style!

skylebones

Thanks guys!

Lotet - Your absolutely right. Now that I've focused more on the face I fixed it a bit. Still more to work on though.

Spent some more time on my textures. Still have a ton to do! Including the briefcase.

nickolasnm

Hehe it looks like borderlands! I like it

lotet

Looks great, a lot better, still think the folds on the jacket might be a bit to much. the outline really fits to.

Anais

Loving that outline. Great job!

skylebones

Here is my finished zombie! With the holidays coming up I won't have time to work on it any more. I had a ton of fun working on this guy and I'm super happy with the way it turned out. I'll add some wires and texture breakdowns later.

lotet

damn that looks soo good, nice work!

Tadao215

good job on this one! I love the gradient and variation of colors in his clothes. You made a plain black jacket look very interesting. The suitcase is a great prop too.. i think its got a lot of character.

mixamo

Love the style!

Just dropping in with a quick reminder! the contest ends November 30th at 11:59:59 PST!
