[WIP] 3 Weeks Character Project

EightEye

Hey guys! Lurking most of the time here; and almost everything I know in 3D is because of reading forums like polycount; I realized the next step to really up my game is to get critiques from you guys so thank you in advance. I am currently doing a degree in animation & motion capture here in Melbourne. This is one of my WIP for my character design & rigging class. The rules were, has to have a face, 2 arms, 2 legs. My deadline will be on September.

Wow, that character design is badass. Looking forward to seeing this move along, sub'd.

Thanks BagelHero!

Hair took me longer than I initially thought. So far I still need to polish the jacket along with the straps

almost halfway through! - I like how the shoes came out. finally got the hang of using IMMs - first time applying it to a character project. straps turned out pretty neat. now for mesh clean up.

wow really cool!
the only thing that pops to my eyes is that in the concept the beast from her back seems far more connected to the girl than in the sculpt. somehow it takes some of the badassness of the whole concept imho

EightEye

thanks skodone! good catch yeah I'll take that into account. Now that I've stared at it for hours and hours sometimes you miss a lot of stuff.

Suba

Reeeeally dope !

Update. Need to finish this by this weekend so wrapping up on the sculpting.

Well its the 31st here so I am calling it done. Sad that it was a bit of a rush but I still managed to make a low poly under 15k so I guess it all worked out. I definitely need work on my speed especially on that final push. Learned quite a few new stuff as well, first time making my own custom IMMs and I got to resharpen my retopo skills. As they say, best way to improve is to keep doing it, so I'm planning on pumping models each month. The september challenge here at polycount is looking quite interesting so I might join that.

here's the final look in Maya viewport.
Tools: Zbrush, Maya, Photoshop, Topogun, xNormal

This thread can now be close. Thanks.
