dystopian character WIP

neilberard

Hey Everyone, I been meaning to knock out another character in my spare time. I initially was working on an anatomy study and have been playing around with marvelous designer to block in the drapery. Hoping to see where this goes. I put together a compilation of refs and inspiration images. Any feedback would be highly appreciated!
Cheers!


*Updated* testing the colors and about ready to build the lowpoly.


*New update*
knocked out about 95% of the lowpoly and baked out normals. Testing in marmoset 2.SO far this guy weighs in at about 19k tris.

note: the corrugated tubes and buttons came from http://www.badking.com.au/site/

More progress. Working out the silhouette and then going to refine the shapes.

Refining the shapes and cleaning up!

Pullin more reference.

Another update. Slowy adding details...

Abrvpt

Looks good ! Don't forget to add some folds due to the weight of the pockets, for now they just look stuck onto the jacket and the trousers.
Keep up this nice character

Like Abrvpt said its looking good so far. I agree with his comment about the weight in the pockets, I would also tighten up the straps, espcially the ones on the head and running along his chest, and make the coat bunch where it meets the strap.

This reminds me a lot of the post-apocalyptic character I saw on zbrushcentral a while back. Here's the thread: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?178308-Postapocaliptic-Character-Marcus

On page five he shows some breakdowns of the character too.

@Abrvpt Thanks for the crit! Still needs lots of tlc...
@gloriousczar Thanks man! I was looking at the Marcus as part of inspiration. I don't think it will get that detialed haha, but I'll totally tighten those staps, and give all the pockets the love they need.
@thepapercut thanks for the kind words!

Goddamn... so slow on this guy. Here is another minor update.

Love the detail, how do you start making your hands?

Texelion

Nice progress.

This last material is not really good though, I prefer the green one ^^.

Torch

Cloth folds look miles better than the first attempts and I like the zip you added, nice touch! Keep going

neilberard

Thanks guys! I Really appreciate the comments! I ended up re-sculpting all the cloth after fiddling around with marvelous designer for a few days. I'm probably just going to go straight into sculpting next time, but it was fun checking out new things.

Man this is fantastic!
Respect to all who can handle organic shapes like charakters ^^

Adriaan

Awesome stuff, looking forward to seeing where this goes!

neilberard

Thank you guys for the kind words! Some more progress. Mostly defining the materials.
