[Riot Art Contest] - Annie

slosh

I think I'm gonna save a spot for now. Hopefully I get around to doing this:D I'm thinking custom skin with a new toy for her...haven't decided what yet...elephant? giraffe? CLOWN?!?!?

slosh

Behold my crappy concept skills! Here's a rough of what I'm thinking about doing. I thought the Japanese School uniform would be pretty cute on Annie while giving Tibbers a boy's uniform would be kinda fun. While not the craziest idea, I think all the little accessories and what not will make this fun and challenging to make. Unless something way more awesome strikes me, this is probably what I'm gonna roll with. Not too complex and this is technically 3 characters so hopefully still manageable.

Chimi Jimi

lookin forward to following your progress hope it goes well maybe if theres time after all that you have to build you could add some sort of like tokens or badges to her backpack just an idea but look forward to followin it

mrnunez

Nice, like the idea of japanese school suits! I will follow you defenetly!

slosh

Chimi Jimi: great idea man...I will definitely make a polycount one at the very least!

Rambo4you

I also love the idea. Looking forward to what comes out of it.

tincow

Great idea mate, looking forward to see you make this.

Antone_m

Looking forward to seeing the updates mate

SorinLupu

Haha, great idea!

Anoif

This is cute! Can't wait to see more!

EtotheRic

Haha, good idea! It's great to see how someone else translates the same character.

CJE

Ha, looks awesome, looking forward to seeing this one come together.

Some inspiration:

Rambo4you, tincow, Antone_m, SorinLupu, Anoif, EtotheRic: thank you fellas!

CJE: hah, i appreciate the inspiration my man! love that movie!

Did a dynamesh base for annie...she looks like poo! this is hard!

slosh

Messed with her face a bit and it looks a tad better. Blocked in some basic clothing shapes...slowwwwwwwwwww....

LRoy

Looking good man. I think the proportions make her feel a bit older than the concept. She has fairly short limbs in this ref.

slosh

Thanks Lroy. I think that has a lot to do with the forms of her clothes being really baggy. I actually used that image and the sculpt from her prom skin as ref and my proportions are almost exactly the same. I will take a look at the proportions again tonight and hopefully block in the rest of the clothes.

slosh

Made a couple lunchtime adjustments based off of what Lroy and 3sm suggested. Made the head a tad wider and bigger, shortened the arms and the legs, and added a couple more pieces on her uniform.

Kiyamlol

wow looking great! like the concept goes well with her character

duncan

A cool idea and a tough choice. You will smash it though...I have faith.

slosh

Kiyamlol: thanks!
duncan: I appreciate the support bro! we'll see how far I get

Got her pretty much blocked in. I also did an alternate hair which I kinda like...pigtails. I dunno, which do you guys prefer? Right now I'm leaning towards the pigtails cuz I like the silhouette a little better. Started roughing in Tibbers!

Kiyamlol

think the first hair choice is better with the bunny ears. gives me the more Japanese school girl vibe, bunny ears to boot!

and omg bear already?

Cultrix

Looking really cool

I prefer the one with the picktails :P

Scythe

Hey man, happy to see you're in ! Annie, tough challenge. dis gon' be gud

Sukotto

Nice progress! If I could suggest one small thing: smooth the lines under her eyes a little? Even the little lines you have now make her look much older

polymator

Bunny ears!
Maybe if you lowered the eyes and widened them just a little she would look more childlike?
Awesome concept and looking forward to seeing this finished

slosh

Kiyamlol: yea, bunny ears are more in line with the japanese theme but I just feel like the pigtails give a better read. I am thinking of making her pigtail balls have cute bear faces on them though!

Cultrix: thanks man, me too on the pigtails!

Scythe: thanks buddy! glad to see you on here as well...always love your stuff!

Sukotto: good suggestion. i will be doing multiple passes to her face and i already softened those lines...thanks!

polymator: thanks for the suggestions! I definitely will be messing with the eyes and the size when i do another pass on her face.



So, took a break from annie tonight and did a basic pass on Tibbers before I start blocking in his clothes!

leoartz

Wow, great to see you here once again after the comic con. Fantastic Choise man and iam sure the end result would be spectacular. Iam sure you would have seen Steve Wangs companys work on this character, if not

SorinLupu

Nice silhouette on Teddy.

DiegoTeran

you and I man. Head to head. Annie to Annie.

Poribo

Nice work on Tibbers!
I like the pigtails the best, I think your Annie model should have a thinner neck and a more triangular face.

slosh

Poribo: thanks, I adjusted Annie per your suggestions...
DiegoTeran: it's gonna be fun...good luck with ur Annie!
SorinLupu: thanks man...gonna keep an eye on your thread for sure...
leoartz: Haha, thank you sir! I have seen that image and it is glorious!

Small update...blocked in all of Tibbers clothes. Gonna start detailing in Annie and make tiny Tibbers as well!

ethwaites

Looking great! I think the pigtails were the way to go. Can't wait to see Tibbers develop some more!

Lavitz

Nice, they're both coming out nicely. Can't wait to see your detailing.

Squals

Looking good buddy! Love the hair and his hat haha

Byren

Lookign good man, though I don't know if it's just me but Annie looks a little bug-eyed in the most recent update? I love one shoe on, one shoe off tibbers!

punkeltje

I feel like annie is a bit to big or tibbers is a bit to small(or feels small?). He should be big cute scary guardian. For the rest, keep up the good work!!

Elyaradine

Looking nice! The Annie proportions don't quite feel like Riot's Annie to me, especially in the face, but I'm not sure what you're aiming for (and, to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the original character's proportions anyway).

D_Wall

oh man those eyes are freaking me out! (in a good way) xD
can't wait to see how this turns out

_MarQueZ_

Love it

slosh

ethwaites, Lavitz, Squals, D_Wall, _MarQueZ_: thanks fellas! appreciate you dropping by!

Byren: Yea, Annie is tough...I am trying to adjust the face as I go.

punkeltje: yea the latest screenshot is not to scale! I will def make sure they are the right size in the final low poly versions...thanks!

Elyaradine: yea, I am sort of going for a mix of the in game version and the cinematic version. The face is tough either way...thanks for the feedback!

Small, small, miniscule update. Started refining Annie's face...

darkmag07

The direction you are taking Annie reminds me of the schoolgirl outfit for Anise from Tales of the Abyss.

Khronos

.

Goldo_O

Can't wait to see more of this Timber!
For Annie, maybe try to reduce the width of the shoulders a bit, and inflate the cheeks?
Looking forward to seeing more updates! Keep it up man!!!

Kiyamlol

looking awesome man I agree with goldo-o i think the shoulder lenght is a bit too broad. Maybe squeeze em in a bit

Also think her eye lids need some work

Lazar

I'm loving the progress man! The pigtails was a good call
I do also agree with Goldo_o. Kids have very very soft faces, almost featureless. Try going down a sub-d just to smooth it out a bit so the transitions are a bit lighter and not so harsh.

Tits

Good call on the face Layna.
I think her face should be softer, right now you are adding all those features and work you would see on an adult face. it contrast a bit too much with the proportion work you did that does makes her look pretty young otherwise.

Will be following this

slosh

Tits, Lazar: Yes, I am struggling a bit with this. I want to do a younger face of course but not toddler so its rough. Gonna keep at it til I get it right!

Kiyamlol: thanks, I will try this on my next body pass!

Goldo_O: yea, I'm still working on her face...the cheeks are pretty round so I'll play with it.

Khronos: thanks!

darkmag07: I agree...I loved that game btw! played the crap out of it!

So, more refinements on the face...a lifetime WIP basically! I also did some hair work.

erroldynamic

Great progress! The face is looking really good and the hair is awesome.

tincow

Looking awesome mate, great features on the girl!

Hellstern

Her face became much much better, and i love how you've done her hair.

ethwaites

Yea, that hair is looking great and the face is definitely an improvement from the last version. Did you use the hPolish brush for the hair?
