[Riot Art Contest] - Shyvana
polycounter lvl 8
Well, i don't play LoL, so i didn't really know the characters well, but wanted to join this contest.
So, i skimmed through the champion line-up, and finding myself even more confused because there's a lot of awesome characters to choose.
But after lots of meditating, my pick goes to Shyvana, because, well, she look badass and soo sexeh...... (and it would be great practice for me)
Here's my base body sculpt atm
Close up on the face, and a quick paintover
Lots of thing to fix, so critiques are welcomed.

Thank you. Yes, i'll try to fix the issues on her anatomy later since obviously i'm not done yet.
Anyway, another quick sculpted gear made from sphere with half assed paintover.
Just to feel the form, not going to use them on final highpoly sculpt, but gonna used it as ref to build a proper basemesh for the gears.
Oh, and i'm not going for an exact recreation of the concept, i'm gonna make a few adjustment to my own liking for later.
Thank you for the kind words. Still need to push the likeness a little bit more
@Artlearner
Thanks, man. I'm trying to work as fast as i can since my free time is almost over, gotta study for my exam next week.
Anyway, still tweaking some anatomy problem, but managed to make a proper basemesh, but only for the head gear atm.
Now with more effort on the texture..
Thank you for the kind words, there's still much to improve.
I realized that the point of this contest is to make the character fit in the stylized world of LoL, so i need to make all of those detail read-able from a bit far.
Well, since its a bit relevant, last few days, i've been trying to practice on sculpting and texturing, which resulted in this
Been a long time i didn't finish something properly, somehow i forget how to do stuff lol...
Anyway, to get back on my entries, since from the splash screen i used as reference doesn't have any feet armor visible, so i'm making a sketch on my design on her feet armor.
Using ref from the original model used ingame, and random picture on dragon legs, here's what i've got on my mind (excuse me for shitty picture)
Don't know if it will fit the character, or even if the armor makes sense, i'll try to add more thing on the go when modeling it.
Thank you, it could have been better, but yes, i'm pretty happy as it is.
Been following your progress on Annie too, since i absolutely adore your Batman entry for Comicon Challenge. Pretty sure yours are going to end up on my inspiration folder again.:thumbup:
Ah, thank you. Always felt nice to get a compliment from someone here.:poly136:
@Waterbear
Ah, yes, the butt. That's the reason i haven't reworking the hips armor since i'm not satisfied enough with the form yet, but i can't put my mind on what felt wrong.
Looks like i need to look at ref more often. The thing about me is, once i'm sucked into the sculpting zone, i don't bother to look at ref, and just doing shit until i think it looks good.
It's a bad habit, i know. So, thanks bear, i'll look more into it.
And how about now? or do i need a butt experts? (ignore the scales, haven't focused on that)
And here's a quick sculpt on the boot form.
And here's with the character. Does it felt right with her?
Hey, thanks, man.
Here's a bit more work done at the boot and her thigh armor. Need to make them more chunkier, but gonna do the weapon first.
My exam is finally over, needed a break, but now i got lots of college task to deal with. So, working on this one bit slowly...
Gonna do the weapon next
And even if you don't want to change the wideness of the feet, you should try to move the heel back a bit, it actually goes more behind the tendon (damn what a crappy phrase, hope you'll understand)
Yes, you're pretty much right, it does look quite narrow !
I'll be sure to check on them. Thanks for the advice.:thumbup:
I never properly sculpted feet before, i knew it would give me a problem someday
Well, onto retopo-ing !!
Ugh, retopo + UV-ing is probably the most boring part ever. Got a lot of unfinished project because of that, but i managed to go through it for my entry.
So, here's my lowpoly + initial bake.
EDIT: Oh, and it's 11k tris.
Slow progress due to college stuff start biting me in the ass lately...
Not really good at handpainting, but hope that i could finished this on time.
Looks like i'm not gonna make it on time, but i'm sure as hell gonna finish this though, to improve my skill.
I need to invest on a graphic tablet, drawing with mouse hurt my hand...
Congrats on people who finished their entries in time. Lots of awesome entries here! So inspiring.
Bah, handpainting....
need to do a proper exercises.
