Pantheon

Avenger84

Hi guys im new to the polycount forum and have decided to model Pantheon.

I am new to Z brush and so far just blocking out major forms in the torso and upper legs

Avenger84

Blocked in a bit more when I had some spare time, not happy with the arms yet and not sure what approach im going to take with the head. getting there slowly.

Avenger84

Decided to leave the body for a bit and move to blocking in the head, still not sure how I want him to look as he always wears a helmet.

Avenger84

Ok so decided to continue a bit more on blocking in the head the overall form is starting to take shape

NIf you are planning to do head study then you can have a take on head otherwise you dont need to make his face.simply put the helmet on it.it'll save you more time
Good Luck.

Hi art, Yes I agree I was debating whether or not to include a head because you may not be able to see it but I decided to add a head just in case I decide to change the skin to a new custom one when the head is done

Avenger84

Still Blocking in when I get time and started refining certain areas fairly happy with the torso at this stage

Avenger84

Ok so I am now happy with the forms at this stage gonna move on to doing the clothes.

Avenger84

Decided to go with the Perseus skin for this one which is a bit different from the concept art, I may end up doing both and see which I prefer

Avenger84

Ok so I have now done a few clothes for two concepts at this stage i am not sure which I prefer

Concept A -




Concept B -

Avenger84

Decided to try one more skin, so went for the Ruthless Pantheon concept still need to do the belt and wrist guard and add damage

Avenger84

Decided to block in some colour for my Ruthless Pantheon model, also decided to mask out the head to get the feel of what he may look like in the final low poly model. Going to move on to the weapons now and come back to add damage and a bit of wear and tear. At this satge I feel like I need to add a little something to his back as not much is going on there.

Avenger84

Any feedback on my ruthless pantheon would be great guys

vitephoenix

hmm well i am in no position to tell a critcs but i feel like the golden belt and the silver belt need more depth and needs to have its own detail rather than following the body shape and i like ur concept B...its looking gud keep up the gud wrk

Arcade

I think you should work off some ref, your anatomy needs some work. Kind of looks like you went too high res too early looks a bit blobby.

Avenger84

Thanks guys for the feedback I definitely agree that the belt needs work and the straps. Cheers guys will keep working on it

Hi arcade thanks for the feedback could you clarify which parts of my anatomy look blobby to you, really want to improve my work cheers

Hello,
I agree with Arcade, looks like you jumped to high res to quick. With out doing a paint over to give some feedback i would say at least start looking at proportions, for instance his arms. his forearm should be longer. IF you haven't seen this site before I would def check out anatomy4sculptors.com amazing site and breaks down anatomy very well. Not the most informative critique (writing this at work lol) but hope anything helps, keep up the good work

Avenger84

Thanks Calixel good points I appreciate them as they will help me improve

For me, hands feel a little bit small. I Especially, when it comes with a fighter type character, big hands allow the character to bring big beautiful weapons.

Thigh looking beautiful. Very beautiful. However, I can see some calf silhouette under the boots and it doesn't feel correct.

I hope you buff up some more oblique and define iliac crest a little bit more.
Trapezius and Latissimus dorsi muscle feels a little bit week.

Good luck for your work. I hope I can see finished one soon. : )

Avenger84

Hi bgram1984 thanks for the comments really appreciate them I think beefing him up is a good idea and yes I agree that the hands need to be bigger. Glad that you like the thigh muscles too

Avenger84

Small update, Decided to rework the helmet and also lengthened the forearms slightly, been reworking the straps too wont be able to work on it much over the weekend, hope you guys like the progress

Avenger84

Had a bit of spare time today so decided to tweak the wrist guards and shin protectors, going to sculpt a bit more detail into these

Avenger84

Refined a few things, such as the fur, straps and belt, I decided not to add the shin guards as I felt it didnt really fit with the overall skin. Have also modeled the shield just need to add a lot more damage. Did a test of what my Pantheon model might look like in game I feel that most of what I have modeled reads well.

Avenger84

C & c are very welcome

Avenger84

Quick update

Avenger84

Slight setback today as my latest z brush file would not open so had to redo the shield and spear and also decided to add a sword.

Avenger84

Did a quick test, Need to add damage to a few areas then gonna retopo

Avenger84

High Poly done, will use the block colours as a base for my diffuse map, now for retopology

Avenger84

Any comments are appreciated

Avenger84

Decide to re do the hands as I was not happy with them, this high poly model is my first attempt at using z spheres and the hand just didnt work out how I wanted it too so re did it and will attach it the existing model. I havent gone overboard with detail just enough so its readable at a distance and gives me a nice effect

Avenger84

Retopo done and AO baked currently sitting at 17852 tris which isnt too bad considering I have three weapons that go with my character. Now time to add colour !

Avenger84

First AO Bake - Need to clean up a few seams now onto colours !

Avenger84

Any c & c are welcome

Avenger84
