We're getting to the party a little late in, but Noblest6 and I are teaming up on this one and will be posting our work starting this evening!

Having been influenced through watching Downton Abbey at the time and flipping through many galleries of victorian seance parties...we really started looking at mourning clothes to outfit Prophet with. After a bunch of quick sketches, we narrowed the basic ideas down:



And revised the bits we liked from there to establish a front view for Robbie to start modeling from:

Really cool theme, and the concept is great too. Looking forward to the 3D!

kageko

rory

Lovely Concept! Plenty of time left to pull it off. Good luck guys!

Paskie

Incredible concept!

robbie

Guess I've procrastinated long enough!

robbie

finally i have some time to work on this thing

robbie

keepin on keepin on

Clyptic

Looking good

Sirot

Looks good! One suggestion: would it be possible to add a slightly transparent shroud to the hat to further establish it's funeral theme?

robbie

There's a ripped up one in the concept but I'm not sure if the engine does transparency. I could get away with it for the sleeves and the gloves, but the veil would definitely have to be transparent.

ENODMI

This character supports transparency in the color map:) Hope you finish, I really like the concept and what you have so far.

A many thanks to Valve for the texture guide. Lots to paint, but I'm thankful that point light bake worked

So in 5 minutes I need to learn how to weight things to a rig, and figure out how these shader masks work

Out of time and a little in over my head anyway. (Sorry Noblest6!) Didn't get to the textures really either, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Le sigh.

Naso

Mmm girl, that dress be lookin' guud. But no really, really nicely done, but I don't know how much you can learn the rigs and masks in 5 min. BUT DON'T STOP, from what we learned in the polycount contest for TF2, they added a lot of stuff that did not "win". so keep on it!
