Hi everyone, I hope you had a great Christmas

I've been working this; character for my university brief



I'm trying to make him look stylized and handpainted-ish? I've followed the Dota 2 texturing guide and I'm pretty happy with the result so far..







However, I'm trying to improve the texture and I guess right now I'm kinda stuck with making the fur looks better..

Should I be much bolder and make the fur clearer?

and this is him with helmet on



I haven't got around to texturing the helmet yet, but i will be soonnn

Thanks

Looking good! It looks a bit like a painted toy, and honestly I think that's great. Love the mix of material definitions.

You could stand to ground the character with a subtle vertical gradient, though! Right now the feet area is drawing more attention than it perhaps should be. Did a REALLY quick example.


The albedo/diffuse could be a little more bold with color variation, too. Less thin lines and more bold, painterly strokes.

Thank BagelHero, I tried to adjust the gradient I hope this is working out well.. I adjust some colour as well



I also added more bold fur, but only toward the head area, and I think it's coming along nicely

I should be getting working on the Helmet and the sword.. but if you thin I could improve the body texture please let me know.

Thanks

I've been finishing off the helmet, I'm trying to get it to be look as good as teh body armor I hope it come out alright.. looking at it, its abit darker than the armor..





And here it is without it



It doesnt look as hand-painted as much as I want it too thou, so I'll be be touching/improving on the helmet texture

Tanks

Hey again

I've took the mouse and re-adjust the post in zBrush, it only seem like I rotate the tail.





I'm making a stand for it;



But I'm thinking of making it standing on a cheese block or something, to make it abit more interesting



Thanks again

Hah that's really cute. I'd love to see a bit more of a dynamic pose though. Right now he feels more like a prop than a character.

Thank you for the kind comment I know exactly what you mean that he feel really static

I tried put him on the cheese stand and I adjust his post to give him abit more character? I hope you'll feel different too







And this is the old pose on the cheese; with this I want him to look like he's facing something bigger.



Any feedback is appreciated, Thanks
