[Mixamo Contest] - TairoW - Zheng Antarctic Explorer (WIP)

Tairow

Here is my entry, his name is Zheng a chinese explorer in the beginnings sec XIX traveled to ice continent.

The Idea is to create a Chinese character that will be able to survive the ice cold of the continent... So, heavy clothes, some fur ( that will be a good study! ).

He will be a marine so for the pedestal he'll probably have a piece of a ship. He is also a badass so to complete the pack some weapons, scars, and some parts without some clothes.

Helping me with the concept art there will be my friend Magno.



He created this sketch that I'll be using as base, there probably will have some changes in it but its a good start!!


So... I'll be starting the sculpt right now!!

Tairow

Past days I've created a basemesh for the character and the rough shapes of the clothes in Zbrush, and as the creation goes I've changed the original idea quite a lot... and I think apart from his face his clothes doesn't resemble at all a chinese guy.... but I liked, so I'll continue working on it...

Crits and comments are very welcome!

Quite some time since my last upload, got so many works.... But im still working on it, will have to reduce the details on somethings and maybe skip the fur study that i wanted to do... But I'll do my best to finish the character, my goal is to finish the sculpt in a couple of days or so... and then work on the texture and reotopo.

Thanks!

Tairow

One more update, doing the face now.

Hope i can finish the face by tomorrow and then start texture and retopo.

karytsukino

Very cool ! I 'm looking foward to see it finished... =D

Tairow

Thank you karytsukino! your entry its very good too! Let's finish!!

One more update, and the finish line getting near.

This time the colors, did some color study on PS and a value study, and got this, not quite happy with the result, gonna make some fine corrections in the final textures, add effects and so on.... Tomorrow color the face and start repology.

This its only polypaint in zbrush with flat color to use as a base for the main texture.
