CIVIL WAR: almighty_gir VS Swizzle
polycounter lvl 16
Lee and I can no longer ignore our differences, so it's time to end this once and for all.
BRIEF:
Lee and I each make a female character from the DC Comics universe. Use current-gen tech. Post updates in this thread. Go.
RESTRICTIONS AND DEADLINES:
Final product must be posed and presented in a realtime, current-gen game engine. Marmoset 2, Unreal 4, CryEngine, whatever.
Materials must be PBR-friendly.
Custom shaders allowed, but not required.
Texture budget: Pffft, texture budgets.
Polygon budget: HAH!
Time limit: We're both working stiffs, so three weeks for each stage of the process; high-poly, low-poly and uvs, texturing and presentation. Don't take longer than three weeks per stage. Post progress pictures of all stages. Final submissions must be made in this thread on or before the end date. If you go past that date, you lose.
May the best man win.

I'm currently planning on going all out and trying to make this look like a nice statuette, complete with clear plastic eye beams and somewhat translucent plastic-looking skin.
I think Super Girl's proportions are kind of goofy for someone who's supposed to be super strong and such, so I'm going to aim for slightly thicker and more muscular proportions like the Wonder Woman ref I have in there.
Swizzle, I pick you!
This gonna be good indeed :P

2 1/2 hours sculpting. on painkillers and antibiotics, i'll admit i didn't give it my all =[
thanks everyone for watching the stream though! i'll definitely do more =]
although I really hope you'll finish the annah of the shadows piece someday Lee.. unless you have and I missed it.
Who's taking bets?
I got $5 on the pasty white guy.
Can't wait to see this progress.

Sorry swizzle, not doubting your talent, Ivy is just cooler
Hurray. I'd enjoy if you streamed as much as possible of the entire process. That'd probably be a great learning experience for a whole lot of us less skilled folks

Oh sweet polygons no, Twitch struck.
There goes my entire plan to watch the VoDs on the weekend to learn even more than I had from the few sessions I could watch
Not if twitch has anything to do with it!
Twitch shuts down any stream that isn't a video game, pretty lame, I know.
We really need to get game artists and dev official support for twitch to stream, they embrace Epic Games and Double Fine doing dev streams, why can't individuals do the same thing?
That everything is really weird.
Whatever. Progress.
or find a way to screencast on a non-gaming site. using google hangouts i could stream direct to youtube but it's not as easy to set up.
@almighty_gir: Can you check on the VoDs for the hitbox stream? Doesn't seem to auto-record. Just in case you continue there
Doesn't youtube go even more ballistic in some cases with 'nudity'? But it'd be nice if Twitch would support educational streams for artists. Can't have pretty characters without some naked bums. On the other hand there's a lot of traditional 2d art that presents naked character drawings as a means to teach and don't get shut down.
Summing it up: Twitch is weird, yo.
Thank you
