[Riot Art Contest] - Ahri

Poribo

Took me awhile to pick a character, but I have decided to make Ahri in her Popstar skin.

I'll might try to put my own twist on it. I think it might look pretty good with the colours from SNSD's outfits from their song 'Genie' (white, black, gold).

Poribo

What I have done so far during the night.
Dynameshed from a sphere, just blocking out proportions using Zeronis's Blur ortho illustration.

Looking at the popstar image, I think I might make her a bit more slender ...but I'm not sure yet, a bit tired for today.

Poribo

Only had a couple of hours today so I got started on the head.

Igami

Yayyy Popstar Ahri. It was either between Anivia or Ahri for me, glad to see someone else picking this up.

Keep it up~

Poribo

Thanks Igami! I enjoy making cute characters, so I knew once I saw popstar Ahri that I had to make her

Doing a bit of concepting/designing today. What do you guys think? Left, right or a mix of both? Suggestions?

Poribo

Made the head smaller and worked on her hair and vest.

Poribo

Skirt and jacket done. What's left is the hat and boots. I'll work on the hair a bit more as well and add more detail. Hopefully the boots go well, I always have trouble modeling them haha

Kel-Shaded

Aww so cute, that looks great

slosh

This is coming along nicely but I think her legs might be a tad too long. They look ok in 2D but a bit odd in 3d...

Poribo

Thanks Kel-Shaded and slosh!

Yeah I agree, once I get these boots done I will fix the length of the legs.

Poribo

Hat done, boots almost done. Any thoughts on the leg length? or anything in general?

Dantert

Gotta agree with the others, it's still a block out though, so keep it up!

darkmag07

I think her hands might be a little bit small/thin.

Poribo

Thanks guys, gave the thighs a bit more volume and tweaked the knees.

Some basic polypainting, will have to make her skin more lighter I think. (Legs are dark because she is wearing stockings, just incase I didn't paint it convincingly)

Also trying to decide her hair colour. Blonde or black?

Poribo

Pretty much done with the polypainting stage, the texture will be improved in photoshop. Decided to keep her blonde.

Next step will be retoping for the low poly.

Shaded / Flat

Poribo

Almost done with the low poly model. Currently sitting at ~9500 tris, it will be more once I make the other tails. I'll probably have to make the face less dense.

auroralucem

Cool I'm also making Ahri but mine is more on the traditional Japanese outfit.
good luck!

Poribo

Thanks, your Ahri is looking pretty good so far too!

Tickwomp

This is looking pretty cool so far, so I'm anxious to see how you'll tweak the textures in PS. You've still got some polys to work with once you reduce the face and maybe feet?

Poribo

Thanks Tickwomp, hopefully texturing will go well!

Completed UVs and baked out the base diffuse and AO, now off to photoshop to finish up the texture.

art.Rishabh

Looks nice man!
Maybe you could try duplicating AO on mulitply mode overlay.
Right ao looks too bright.! It'll give more contrast!

Chantel-sky

The AO does look a bit too bright.
Other than that she's looking good so far

Poribo

Thanks guys, I've been tweaking the levels of the AO. The texturing is almost done, need some fresh eyes to have a look at it and give suggestions.

Poribo

Getting close to done I think. Just got to figure out how to present it well (one of my weaknesses).

Poribo

Almost final. Let me know if there is anything I should change presentation wise before I submit.






An extra beauty shot

darkmag07

I would probably change the background to a darker pink/purple. Right now your Ahri is getting lost in the brightness since she is also very brightly textured.

slosh

That tail texture definitely needs some work. The rest of her looks solid and I like your pose.

Poribo

slosh: Thanks. I did the tail terribly. I don't have time to go back to the model as I'm continuing projects that I put on hold. Really got to practice hair and fur sculpting & texturing.

darkmag: I'll give that a go, thanks.

Here is my model in Sketchfab.
