PETROL/BLOOD - Sanro

Sanro

Hey guys, figured it was time to enter my first contest, and here is my initial ideas:

- Witch Doctor character, riding a mount, 99% sure it will be the rhino (for some reason hamster was my first idea :poly141: ). Not much armour on the character beyond basic leather and wooden pieces tied with rope.

- Will go on to explore the character in more depth to deviate a bit from the standard Diablo style witch doctor although I really like their concepts as a starting point. He will be from the savannah instead of the more standard jungle environments so I'll be looking for interesting ways to incorporate Zulu and Masai themes.

- I also want to connect the rider with the rhino a fair bit more with amulets, tattoos etc



I hope I can finish this in time as I have no experience with PBR yet!

Mount progress (base mesh and some minor anatomical sculpting, still lots to fix):

Started working on the rider, here's some progress on the head:

Oh! I see you're using my concept of the wich doktor as a reference! Cool!

Hey man, if you got the time for it maybe this quick sketch will help you give mr. Rhino some love

This can be really cool. Face is already pretty great and if you can make Xenmut's rhino, it will be really awesome.

Thanks for the support!


Progress was slow in the last couple of weeks (week and a half holiday) but back into it now. Still not sure about the body type I want to go with for the witch doctor, but it's getting there. Only proportions so far not much correct anatomy


Blocking out the accessories for the rhino too

Sanro

Update on the character, pretty much done with blocking in the accessories, still lots to do in terms of detailing...
