BrianP · Dec 2012

MOST RECENT PROGRESS

hey Brian, cool start man. Here's my 2 cents - The lower arm and especially the hand are looking too thin. The quadricep shape going into the knee looks like it's tapering off too early. From the front, the upper arm is looking a little bulky compared to the shoulder and lower arm. The rib cage also appears to be sitting a bit low. I like the look of the costume so far in your first post. Looking forward to your updates

BrianP · Jan 2013

dude! really appreciate the feedback! thanks. hopefully I can get around to those changes tomorrow. added more armor tonight should have an update soon.

BrianP · Jan 2013

here is an update of where i am at on the armor.

Elyaradine · Jan 2013

Looking cool!

For the shins, it's nice that you've clearly shown where the bone is, but that doesn't really happen on the lateral (outer) part of the leg, as there are a few other muscles that slot in there. The inner piece looks good.

May also want to check out the elbow region. The upper and lower arm are joined together across the elbow by a couple of muscles; in particular, you're missing the "ridge" muscles, though I forget what their names are.

BrianP · Jan 2013

hey thanks for the feedback guys!

here is an update. it has been slow since getting back to work T_T.

FKN RADDDDDDDDDD!

BrianP · Jan 2013

Here is WIP of the goblin SDK i am going to be working on between projects.

Going to be doing alot more hand painted textures in the future! so much fun!

butt_sahib · Jan 2013

female character looks really cool.

ScoobyDoofus · Jan 2013

I say get them big color variations and features in there now before you do details.
Keep goin!

Elod.H · Jan 2013

Heya,

That little goblin... will be interesting to see how it develops

. I would never play one in a game

, but if you get those skin textures right.. because of the fat mass on their faces.. they can look so awesome. Reminds me of Dubby (or what's its name) from Harry Potter

.
Take ScoobyDoofus's advice and add them big color variations

.

BrianP · Mar 2013

here is what I am noodling on when i am not playing Sim City. XD

BrianP · Mar 2013

update!

Add3r · Mar 2013

Diggin the super clean lines. Excited to see where you bring it!

BoBo_the_seal · Mar 2013

Looking great Brian!

BrianP · Mar 2013

thanks guys!

here is another update

Lavitz · Mar 2013

That matcap is perfect to show off your progress.
Looking sweet!

Or is that polypaint? if not what matcap is it?

Two Listen · Mar 2013

I like that armor design as a whole, but there's I wanted to mention after seeing this in WAYWO, is that armor metal? I sort of assume so, and if that's the case I don't imagine this character could ever bend forward. That long solid piece over her stomach would prevent an exceptional amount of movement (bending forward, turning of the torso with either leg raised, etc). I'd segment it in some way, and also raise the area that covers her crotch - currently if she sat down, I think it would jab into her thighs pretty painfully.

BrianP · Mar 2013

thanks for the comments guys!

I totally see what you mean about the long part not actually working. I'm really not sure if its supposed to be leader or metal lol. Maybe an easy fix would be to just to shorten it? ill try and do something to make it more functional. again, thanks for the comments!

The concept comes from WoW.

Brian "Panda" Choi · Mar 2013

Brian, how the heck did you get that nice looking raised edges on your armor? Unless that's just a "it takes time" thing?

BrianP · Mar 2013

the armor is made by doing a super quick sculpt and then bringing into max to retopo basically.

BoBo has a really nice example of how its done on his blog here.

BrianP · Mar 2013

last update for the week.

BoBo_the_seal · Mar 2013

Looking good Brian!

BrianP · Mar 2013

Thanks! it has been really fun to work on so far. I want to do a really cool pose and get a 3d print of it too. Although, I always say that XD

bigphun · Mar 2013

Your blood elf is looking great, but I think you're neglecting the side profile a bit, her upper thigh is super skinny. Also you might pull out the plates under her breasts that follow her rib cage and tuck in the top of the stomach plate.

I don't care for the expression, looks like a sulky Sylvanas, Blood elves should have an arrogant sneer or something.

BrianP · Apr 2013

another update on my elf chick!

PyrZern · Aug 2013

Keep it up! I wanna see this finished

Dilkesy · Aug 2013

Looking great man, did you polypaint the character? if so any tips

BrianP · Aug 2013

hey thanks guys! no polypaint, just Photoshop textureing and render in marmoset.

BrianP · Aug 2013

Another update on the texture.

PyrZern · Aug 2013

Looks very clean there. Is this still hi-res ?

BrianP · Aug 2013

na this is the low poly in marmoset toolbag. Ended up useing just over 10k polys.

Rokugan · Aug 2013

Awesome work you did there! The only thing I don't really like is the roundness of the face, to me it looks more human that way. I usually find the elves to have a sharper face. Nonetheless I love this, cheers ^^

BrianP · Aug 2013

Hey thanks rokugan, I really appreciate the feedback! yea not in love with the face right now. Ill try out your suggestion next to see if she can be a little more elf ish. hopefully the hair will help too. i feel like the scale of the head needs to be a little smaller overall too. ill try to get to all of this soon. =D

Iciban · Aug 2013

Sick thread! really love your work.
I agree with the head. A bit sharper might help, but I think the main problem is cause there's no hair atm.

BrianP · Nov 2013

im just going to put this here. hopefully ill come back to it. T_T
