[Riot Art Contest] - Vayne

ACap

Greetings, Polycounters!
I am decided to take part in that fun:)
Picked Vayne for warmup
Created rough sketch in Zbrush - then jumped into Modo and now back to Zbrush again.
Here is my model after modo cleanup and before final sculpt.

JRancourt

Looking good! What is your overall concept for her?

ACap

JRancourt - Thank you.
I want to give her a little bit more armor, so there will be more Bruce Wayne flavour in her style)

Dantert

Nice! Maybe some parts are a little too thin like the crossbow, also test her from the top view to see what works and what not

ACap

Dantert - Thank you! I am changed her silhouette just a little bit and top view have no troubles IMO) Crossbow, well, actually it is thinner than her actual ingame weapons, but - big buttstock reads well from the top view and I love those elegant shapes - so, I won't change it)

Decided to add Darius to Vayne's team.
Initial blockout before final sculpt.

dreadleft

Darius looks epic. Do you planning to add some asymmetric detail?

ACap

dreadleft - Thanky you! I think I am too lasy for asymmetry) May be I will add a little bit more difference between shoulders and armor details, but later - in the final sculpt stage.

I found that Vayne and Darius need a couple opponents.
So . . . I decided to pick this one first.

ACap

Well, I think I am done with the sculpting stage.
There is not that much time left and I need to bake and texture 4 characters. It will be tough month.
Also let me present you Warwick's friend - Vladimir.
I decided to change him a bit more than others. I call it - too much angel blood)

Sundaynights

Wow, you're kind of a bee don't forget to post more WIPs, cause these look kinda finished and this thread is for showing your workflow

Moonstone

Great job! Why 4 characters?
I think the best is Warwick

ACap

Sundaynights - Thank you. Actually - I have only rough sculpt and then - after retopo - it looks quite well. Actually it is my workflow)
Moonstone - Thank you. It is hard to work with only one design - so I am doing 4 at once to refresh my mind)

Kel-Shaded

Awesome dude o.o
Think Vayne is my fav

ACap

Kel-Shaded - Thank you!
Sorry for long abscence.
Completed retopo. uv and bake.
Here is first texture pass.
There is not much time left - now I need to polish my textures and prepare them all for final fight)

ACap

Polished Darius texture.

Jacquesofalltrades

ACap

Jacquesofalltrades - Thank you.
Suba - Thank you.
I think I am done with polishing stage.
At last, it is time to prepare final images.

ACap

Hello again. I found some time to make illustration using my 3d characters.
Actually those illustration was main purpose of making 4 characters instead of 1)
Deadline is close - will try to make proper presentation for final.

ACap

Found some issues with my final illustration - will fix things soon.
For now - Vayne final images.
