Rebel Character Bust

LRoy

Was looking through a bunch of concepts and was really liking the stuff from the dishonored dlcs. Wanted to do a character to fit that theme and work on texturing. I'd like to get her lowpoly'd and into Marmoset.

Here's the high.



And some polypaint to help flesh her out a bit.

Awesome man always enjoy your work, love the shapes and the neckerchief thing works really well.

Is the scarf Marvelous Designer and Noisemaker?

Tits

Love the face, very distincive and different.

slosh

Super nice! Also was curious if the scarf was marvelous...

erroldynamic

Ooh, yes! Excited for this one. Very nice features and ruggedness, looks like she's been through some turmoil

future-fiction

Loads of character in the face, love her! Also, that's a cool eye matcap.

Damn that is looking awesome. Don't know why but when I saw Rebel bust I was thinking the Rebels from Star Wars

JayCool

Pure awesomeness:) hope to see more soon!

LRoy

ysalex: Thanks man. Actually your thread made me want to do this in the first place haha.

JadeEyePanda: That's exactly what it is.

Tits, erroldynamic: Thanks. I was trying to make it look like she's had a rough life, hopefully it comes across.

slosh: Yeah, it's MD with an alpha applied.

future-fiction: Thanks bud. Here's a link for matcap if you want to play with it yourself. I just toned down the reflections a bit. It comes with a few different varients. I like the quad version.

X³²Lapis JayCool: Thanks guys.

If anyone's interested I can put up a video on how I do scarves and cloth wraps. it's nothing crazy though.

Might have to put this on hold for a bit while I wrap up some other things. Testing out some things with the lowpoly and wip textures. Skin was polypaint with some blemishes in ps. Did a couple different lighting setups for fun. Still a bunch to work on.

LRoy

I've tried recording my screen a few times but it kept crashing after a few minutes. Not sure if its my PC or what I was using, but ill try to figure out what the problem is.

Tits

Love iiiitttt

What were you recording with? I myself use OBS and it's really good. No lag and the recorded files aren't big at all.

SuperFranky

I think the skin texture looks a bit too noisy. I also think there's something wrong with the placement of eyeball, but can't be sure.

LRoy

Decided to go another direction with this. Hopefully a little more interesting. The armor is still pretty blobby just trying out ideas.

slosh

Looks nice but i prefer ur original direction...

RocketBryan

Oh noes! I loved the original hair - suited her personality really well. could you instead pull the hood back so we can still get some of that original design?

Not super sure on how I feel about that armor though. It's very nicely detailed, but all of it is pretty evenly detailed. Maybe build in a few large areas of "rest" to space out sections of high detail sculpt. Let's the eye drift more naturally around the figure.

LRoy

Seems like I lost some of the attitude I had before and went a bit greebly crazy on the armor. I'll see if I can find a happy medium.

The change with the hair was mainly because EVERY sci-fi/punk girl has that same haircut now haha.

Thanks for the feedback.

nickcomeau

I agree it's a pretty common hairstyle. I think though hiding all the hair under a hood also isn't ideal. I would say I prefer if the hood was down and we could see some hair. Maybe try concepting a few different hairstyles first before you commit to one if you're unsure? I like the design of the armored a lot and once you get those blobby forms out of it it's gonna look wicked solid.

LRoy

Messing around with some ideas for the back and removed the hood. Hopefully this has a bit more of the original feel. Everything is still pretty wip.

slosh

Muuuch better. I wouldn't mind seeing more cloth or organic materials incorporated. Like having only one shoulder pad and maybe some exposed skin or wrapping. I dunno, just spitballing! Asymmetry in the armor would be nice though...

createdbyi

This looks awesome. I love the face. Keep crackin!

karytsukino

Awesome character! I really like the armor and the face ... I think you maybe could use more assimetry for the armor ... maybe diferents details in one side to give more natural feeling. Great job! Keep going. I cant wait to see where it goes!

nickcomeau

Definitely got some of the original feeling back I like it! I agree that adding some asymmetry to the armor would add a lot of visual interest to the model. It has a bit right now but it's kind of taken back a bit because it is symmetrical.

LRoy

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to take your suggestions and push it a bit further. I feel like I'm going to end up with a full character soon haha.

Still playing around with shapes. Probably going to do another concept pass on the shoulders to go for a more interesting silhouette. It's getting a bit blobby but I'll fix that when I finalize the armor.

Rich H

This is looking awesome. Really like the armor, the detail is fantastic! I'm sure it will only get better if/when you break up the edges with some damage

Chantel-sky

She's looking awesome! I agree with how common that hairstyle is, Just a thought.. you could maybe try something similar to Jacks hairstyle in Mass Effect 3?

I'm really loving the armor, and the overall style of the character! Can't wait to see more

Anthricus

Looking much better with out the hood! Don't cover up your awesome face sculpt

LRoy

Some more sloppy WIP images. Still a lot to refine. Tried to make it a bit more interesting. Might have went overboard with the face.

I think I'm gonna stay with the hairstyle since it got such a strong reaction when I removed it haha. It's a bit played out but it fits the character well enough.

slosh

Love this so far. Might be a pain in the ass but I would remove one of the large tubes feeding into the back. I think it will look nice to have that asymmetry from the back.

Tits

Loving this! She looks like such a cool and strong character with lots of personality to it

nickcomeau

It's getting better and better every update

LRoy

Well, here's a bump from the dead. Had some free time recently to mess around with this again.

LRoy

Had some time again recently. Starting tinkering a bit more.

This is looking really great. I love the little touches of cloth in there too @sloshy was  on the money without the hood. Lots of really nice character coming through.
