Welcome to our island
the head looks good

A1mb0t

Hey everyone, after a couple of setbacks of working on my first set i realised i had to go back for some more learning but since this weekend i'm finally making progress again, yay!

hopgood

Really nice work, I still admire the diversity people can achieve with Sand King

A1mb0t

Thank you hopgood, i actually feel that way everytime i take a look into this forum, no matter which hero, there are just so many talented people here!

A1mb0t

In case someone's interested, just did the high-poly feet, moving on to the tail now. Not really sure what to do with it though..

A1mb0t

Update in first post!

A1mb0t

Another update in first post: added image of set including tail!

Hudston

Looking great, I love the face!

A1mb0t

Thanks a lot Hudston!

Update: added a promo picture!

A1mb0t

Hey guys, I've been able to get all items to stick perfectly on SK except for the tail - and I've been failing at it for two days now and I'm running out of ideas what else I could try...

I pulled all the connection vertices of my tail to the position of the original ones as well as copied the exact same values for their weights - on his right side it seems to work more or less, on his left though..

Maybe someone here has encountered similar problems already and has an idea what i could be doing wrong?

A1mb0t

Currently working on a set for Leshrac, together with SLIMEface who did the concept!
Current progress for you guys:

BrontoThunder

Looks awesome! Definitely doing the concept justice

A1mb0t

Thank you Bronto!

Spudnik

So I'm totally seeing poop flying out of his behind at high velocity and can't unsee it T.T

A1mb0t

Hey guys! just a quick update, been busy with a lot of stuff lately... Finished the LOD0 and LOD1 topo as well as textures for now (with room for improvement as always) - so, here you go:

reverendK

i gotta say - the egg-sack head is creepy as hell. i like it.

A1mb0t

Congenital Wrath set for Leshrac is online now! Thanks to SLIMEface for his great concepts and promo picture!

You can show it some love here: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=166877290

I think the promo image can use a better pose, show the silhouette of the head as that what makes your set looks cool.

Zipfinator

It could use some subtle glow effects similar to in game too.

A1mb0t

Hey guys, thanks for the critique!

kendmd we actually discussed the same issue when doing the promo pose and in hindsight i think you are probably right, but when i was doing it, for some reason i wanted him to look straight at you..
Can't change it though, cause right now on vacation and all i have is my notebook, which struggles with forum posts already, not to mention 3d

Zipfinator - yes! SLIMEface was so kind and added some glow now!

A1mb0t

Just a single item this time, now working on a set for Dark Seer!

A1mb0t

Just a small preview of what i'm working on atm. Will try to post more steps in between this time, in case anyone is interested!

Slowly making progress on my hard surface sculpting skills:

Nikey

Nice clean sculpt dude! Looks great

Frump

That looks great. I loved hammered metal detail. Too bad it doesn't show at in-game size and res.

What's the matcap?

A1mb0t

Thanks you two! I know the hammered details won't show, but it's fun to do anyway

The matcap is cmt_deep_bronze, it's from the pixologic download section / metal.

branch

Very Nice sculpt! Which tools did You use? I have a Lot of problems with hard surfaces

A1mb0t

Hey branch, i didn't use any special tools other then creasing my low poly base mesh in the beginning to keep those clean edges when subdividing.
Afterwards it's all just inflating masks to get those extrudes, slash_3 for scratches, hpolish to clean up some areas and get those hammered parts and some clay and standard brush here and there (eye area ie.).

branch

Mmm I guess I'll just have to improve my sculpting skills
Thanks!

A1mb0t

Just a quick update in between, more to come.

A1mb0t

So, sometimes you realise what you liked the day before, you don't like the next one, another quick update for today, as well as some first steps for the bracer slot.
This is still work in progress though and might change completely next week



Have a nice weekend everyone!

A1mb0t

Having trouble with my computer, so only slow progress atm. Also, no fancy shader this time. Another try at the back slot:

A1mb0t

Time for a new progress post! LOD0 (LOD1 are done as well) with color maps as they are so far! Still missing the bracer slot.

A1mb0t

Alright guys, after it seems like ages, the set is finally done! If u like it, please give SLIMEface and me some thumbs

branch

Cool! Can you post an in-game portrait shot?
From these gifs the helm looks a bit muddy

vlad_the_implyer

Yeah, all of the detailing is completely lost.

A1mb0t

It looks worse on those gifs than it actually looks ingame, but i have to agree with you, it looks a bit muddy and more details got lost than i would have liked for. Some things to consider when working on my next items

A1mb0t

Finished a Mace for Void together with cottonwings!
