[Riot Art Contest] - ZYRA - 2Y7A

editpolygon

STATUS

Decided to start sculpting the head in zBrush using dynamesh. I'm uncertain of proportions and the basic form. Much work ahead of me.




Concept

editpolygon

I'll tackle Zyra as a renegade terraform AI that just found a shiny cyborg body.



I was able to complete a sketch today and hope to paint over it into a concept later this week.

I've made some progress with the concept art.

Zyra usually has flowers along her shoulders with vines that wrap around her arms. I plan on making a translucent bio-container that holds that plant along her shoulders.

I also have to figure out something for her hair and brows. Ideas welcome.



Oh yeah, the top of the neck to just below the navel will be all flesh. The rest will be bio-synthetic metal.

editpolygon

More or less finished with the concept. I'm moving on to three-dee now!



Question, can anyone think of a better way to incorporate the vines?

The vines could be like cords that extend out of her arms, like woman from the cyberpunk 2077 trailer. Just cords instead of blades?

This will be cool to see in 3D!

Cool idea gloriousczar and thanks for the hype!

I've decided to redo the shoulder area one more time before I move on to the base mesh. I still wanted to incorporate plant life with the new skin (she is a renegade terraform A.I. after all).

So I converted the shoulder into a biosphere that will hold a thorny alien plant inside of it. The vines will shoot out of a funnel so she can use them as whips, and grow fauna just like the original theme!

Begun sculpting the head. Using portrait photos (Alina and Tout Passe V) taken by Alexander Kuzmin for reference. I like the model's strong and other worldly features.

Please feel free to help me correct my proportions and geometric forms before I get too far ahead. Thanks.
