[Riot Art Contest] - Ragin Beast Udyr

Agrevain

Hey all, so I am going to be tackling Udyr, and I was going to do his spirit guard skin, but then I got a different idea so I will be expanding on that instead. Although I will be taking some designs I like from the spirit guard skin. Basically its Udyr heavily influenced by street fighter shoto's and some other fighting style mixes, with a lot of my own creative ideas mixed in . I have started gathering references as well.

I have been busy with work and other contests, but after the 15th i swear I will be updating

Agrevain

Alright so I am just doing a quick update, I will definitely be working on it more, in order to get everything done on time. Unfortunately with work and all that I haven't been able to get as much done, but one step at a time. I am also a bit intimidated from all these amazing pieces of work that I have seen, but I am updating none the less



So with Udyr there isn't any cool armor or anything like that really, so I have some other ideas that will come together later, but I am mostly going to be focusing on the anatomy and will most likely be going over it many times ahaha.
Also putting in base folds and all that

Do it up! Maybe go with the Oni versions, since this guys has spirit power.

Agrevain

I added in some more things, hand wraps, a shoto garb/torn garb. I have both of them for his initial stance before you would upgrade a skill (with the full garb) and for after you use a stance/skill (the torn garb). As if he has torn it off due to the power of said stance . I am also toying with the hair, going for an old viking warrior hairstyle. I also decided to keep the beads from the original design but put them around his neck instead, because I like the look of it better. Still a work in progress, hopefully ill be able to finish on time.

Any constructive criticism is welcome

Agrevain

Hey everyone, so this is my first time entering a contest at polycount, or really a contest at all :S, but it was fun to work on none the less. This is my final, I have never actually textured anything with hand painted textures, and I am really terrible at texturing in general so this was a big challenge for me. I hope it at least somewhat matches the style. Thanks for any support, and constructive criticism is welcome.

This dude is bad ass! I need a kick ass, dynamic pose. Great job!

Agrevain

Yea I don't really know how to rig at all, so I just did a pose manually in zbrush with masking and zspheres. If I knew how to rig I would have done a more dynamic pose ahaha

baiph

Looks clean and badass!
