Ribtibs 3D/2D Sketchbook Thread!

Hey Guys!

I am really bad about posting on Polycount, but here I go trying to fulfil a new years resolution and post my work online more.

First finished thing of the year:

WoW Gnome Fan Art - t2 Warrior Armor!



Expect more of these to come soon as I need to practice my texture painting a LOT!

Another quick update on the texture

TomDelboo

Hey Ribtibs,
I'm not a fan of the gnome fan art, not because of the armor (because that looks good ) but because of the facial features. Like the ear almost and jaw alignment. Never played Wow, so don`t know if that`s the same there.
Anyway Your highpolysculpt looks great! But you lost somewhat in your low poly. But I`m glad you start to retrieve some of that awesome information back with your second texture-update. I hope this will hapen also in the face, because I love his expression there.

btw will you be adding more meshes to your lowpoly? like the knife and shoulderpad-ornament?

Ribtibs

First armor set sculpt (approved design) that I have for the Skywind mod.

Ribtibs

Another update!

That ebony armor sculpt is gorgeous. I love asymetrical armor designs with mixed surface elements (cloth/metals) and that is a perfect example.
Is there a female and beast race configuration set coming?

Ribtibs

I have to assume they will ask me to do a female variant when this one is done. Thanks for the comment

Wanted a shot that showed off the diffuse map a bit nicer

daemoria

Awesome work on the Ebony armor, the cloth and overall diffuse texturing is great. But the specular shading could use a bit more love, right now it reads as a kind of pewter like surface. I know the skyrim engine can support cubic reflections, maybe if you add a masked one of those, it'd help the Ebony read more as the volcanic glass material that it actually is.

Has the team considered doing a gold trimmed alt version? The sets from the older games had a black/gold color scheme.

Ribtibs

At the moment all I was asked for was the diffuse map and normals. The tech artist will take care of the specular info. I don't have information on the current plans.

Clannfear model for Skywind. Sculpt and initial polypaint by Ravanna, my art director. Retop, UV, and shaders done by me.

This is probably one of the more important "motivational/inspirational" videos I have made, so I wanted to share it with people. Please enjoy, like, comment, and keep making amazing work everyone

Dubzski

I really like these vids of yours dude. Keep them coming!

That little speel about the amateur artist rang so true about myself at the start of uni; spent a lot of time looking at art & never creating art... but towards the end i threw that mind frame thankfully ^_^.

Zbrush Sculpt of my Erlking Axe. Was going to make him a WoW character, but his lore calls for a more darksiders approach!

That last weapon looks nice man. you're texturing is excellent. I think your characters need work however. Though they are stylized, I find that they have proportional issues. Not sure if you want to be a character artist or a prop artist but if you're aiming for characters, I would hunker down and get some proper realistic anatomy to work on.

Thanks for taking a look at my work man. I agree that I should probably show more (or any) of my anatomy work on polycount. Trust me when I say I have a ton of it, just haven't been showing it. As far as stylized proportions feeling off, I can agree that in a few characters I feel the same and need to work on them more, while others I feel have strong proportions for their respective styles.

It is all a learning process and I still have a ton to learn. I definitely appreciate the critique!

Really cool stuff! Love the new axe!

Some days you just need to sculpt Every time I watch a video where Day9 says DayKnights I get funny images of a Day9 army in my head. So now I will make a few sculpts to get those characters outta my head!
