my characters and shit

rino

hi,

i've been lurking for 2 years, today is the day.



working on this guy, he's still in zbrush so i'm open to crits. red spots are for shit to smooth out/re-do, black is for things to add.

i don't know if it's any important, but he's a skinny prick.



that's the base, hopefully proportions are good. that's it so far.

hey, very nice work,

you can add some details like scratches. bot in general very good work.

Looking good there!

I noticed a minor thing with the strap across the chest. It doesn't seem to have anything pulling it in the downward angle it's at right now.

Also, you might consider adding an inside to the hoodie, looks a bit thin



that's what I got. Real nice though.

(Edit: Hoodie)

Hey looking nice, I think though that you could benefit from doing some cloth studies, a lot of your clothing doesn't feel like it's bunching properly. The right arm for instance feels like an accordion, try to avoid repeating perpendicular lines. Also, your pants where they bunch at the boots needs work. The bunching feels way too deep. Other areas that could use some love are his crotch and hood. Would also be nice if the folds on the left leg are different from the right so it's not so easily identified as being symmetrically sculpted.

Edit: I noticed you had marked some of that stuff in red to redo so, good .

Good job so far! The thing that sticks out as incorrect the most to me right now is his neck. Too long and thin around the base. The neck muscles themselves are showing too much, they should be smoothed out more to become more subtle.

His clothing does not hint very much at the underlying anatomical structure. For example, check the knee and elbow areas.

fuck me.

okay i'll try to fix everything what has been mentioned. hopefully this is looking better:



its not done, still needs a lot of work but there

It's looking good I definitely agree with dwgagner though, the cloth is too bunched up to be that tight to the body. Reducing the amount of folds will increase the realism (and lower the amount of time that you spend sculpting). It also helps to outline which materials are going to make up the object that you are sculpting, that way you can get a better reference point for which shapes that you'll need and how they react under different situations (e.g., stretched, loose, tight to a surface, etc.). Hope that helped :P

thanks guys, halps a lot.

i fixed some stuff, long neck fixed and smoothened out dem neck muscles, redone the boots, redone the pants, redone the shirt bunching, however some of the stuff also mentioned i just didn't have motivation to do, 1 month on and off, got tired of looking at it.

it sits around 20k tris, i hope that's not too much

here it is






i really have to work on my textures, especially hard surface stuff, it's just pure balls right now. also hair sucks, i have to work on that too. when i was rigging the thing, i realized also that my edge loops suck and it was deforming terribly in the crotch and armpit area. also some of the extra edge loops are there because "I THOUGHT" it would help deforming, but it didn't much, lesson learned. that's it for now.

if anyone has anything to add, please do.

You should definitely make it brighter, can't really see much. Looks good from what i can see.

actual texture or background? anyhow thanks!

theslingshot

The character itself, but maybe it's just your lighting. Maybe making the background lighter could help as well.
