[Riot Art Contest] - Mercenary Katerina

danpaz3d

I'll be working on the Mercenary skin version of Katerina.
I might re-design the weapons, make a couple of tweaks to her armor/clothing and maybe make the hair a bit more blue.

How did you obtain the ingame reference model?

There's no way to download the model, I'm just using screenshots of it to help with silhouette, color and poses.
That website lists all the heroes with all their skins, just choose from the dropdown lists.

Nice to see you're competing, can't wait to see what you come up with man!

Very rough sketch for proportions. Will work on getting the body done first.

Update! Working on the basemesh.
Still a few tweaks to make on the body and heaps of work needed on the face/head/neck.

I like these proportions! looks great

Small update, worked on the face and tidied up the body. Probably gonna make some more tweaks to the face, but moving onto hair+clothing now.

Finished off the high poly for her primary weapon/s.

Will start working on clothes now.

Update! Still much to do, will hopefully have the sculpt done by the weekend.

Nice! That's sexy!

I was going to say, I think the triangle of the hips is a bit too wide, making the legs too far apart.. but it's just my opinion, if you go for the cartoony style then it should be fine!

And nice sculpt details!

danpaz3d

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm going for the more stylised version. More, I'm trying to make it more like the in-game model. Thinking how the geometry would fit her animations, considering how her neutral pose is in-game, her legs are pretty spread out and she does some pretty crazy attack animations. Here's a vid I used for reference.

Now working on the torso!

Another update, top half. The high poly is done, I just have to put it all together and pose now..

Byren

Looking great! Loving the details

danpaz3d

Update, a quick shot of the final sculpt, also the low poly. Wanting to make a game-res version so I'm trying to keep the polycount low. Around the high 4 digit mark.

danpaz3d

Update. Low poly bake, flat colors + ao. TIME TO PAINT!
Few bugs to fix too.

danpaz3d

Finished! I managed to submit it just in time.
