Dragon Quest 8 Hero

PHIllstead

Hey Polycounters!
This is a new project I've been working on during my personal time. As a child, I loved JRPGS, and feel like they have been a big source of inspiration for me growing up. Dragon Quest VIII is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I could gush about it all day, so I've decided to pay homage to it with a fan art recreation of the main character.

So here's what I've done so far! Some pieces are still in the block out, but I would still like some feedback nonetheless!

I'm still not 100% sure what my final goal will be, but I am definitely leaning more towards something like a diffuse only model, with maybe only a 1024 map. Maybe a slime too, just for kicks?



And here's a 3q with a quick color block out.


Finally, here's my reference sheet.


Let me know what you think! Cheers!

Looks pretty solid. I could be wrong, but the arm-holes on the outer jacket seem a bit too large. It's not a big deal though. The other thing that sticks out to me are the eyes. In your model, the eyes seem like almost perfect ovals with the bottom part "flattened" and it looks pretty close to the concept, but you might want to consider making the bottom a bit more "flattened." Finally, the other thing that stands out a bit are the eye brows. Maybe it's just the angle but in the second screenshot they look pretty bushy so it might be good to smooth them out a tiny bit.

I'm no character modeler so all the things I mentioned should be taken with a grain of salt but I'd say it looks pretty great.

+1 on what NegevPro said. You might also want to bring up the belt some on his torso as well as puff out his cheeks a bit. They're looking a little shallow at the moment.

Other than that keep it up! I have high expectations for this piece.
