Ritual SynergY's character journey thread!

RitualSynergY

Decided a thread would be a good spot to consolidate most of my future work, and a great place to get as much feedback as possible (which will always be seriously appreciated). Thanks in advance for taking the time to check out my work.


(Current Project) Samus Aran

RitualSynergY

Ok! Changed up the belt since the OG wasn't super functional. Detailed most of the metal bits, also adjusted the size of the sword as he looks like he can handle a bit more. A few more fixes and such but I'm more or less done with the modeling. Retopo time.

HeyGafilimore

Love where the protruding bones are going, dude. Making the sword bigger was a good choice too, give him something big to toss around haha. I like my demonic dudes a little bit heavier but that's just personal preference, keep up the good work dude

RitualSynergY

Thanks man! Yeah I like all types, this guy just happened to be thinner, but who knows what he future holds ^^

RitualSynergY

FINALLY finished the bakes. -_- On to the textures!

RitualSynergY

Unrelated to the demon guy, but I figured I should consolidate more of my work in this thread. They aren't super new but some recent busts.

(concepts are not mine )

Keep it up man
Take another look at the orbit of the eye area and around the eyeball, once you nail that you will level up

RitualSynergY

That area has most certainly been a challenge for me. I will definitely do just that! Thanks



Also, anatomy practice in t pose.

RitualSynergY

Demon sculpt/render for fun.

RitualSynergY

Finished the demon dude and made Earthworm Jim - cuz O_o

Asura

This is really solid work! I'm curious as to how you handled the topology on the demon's face.

RitualSynergY

Hey Asura, thanks a bunch! Ill post some wires after work today.

RitualSynergY

So I basically tried to follow common edge flow ideas and every time I hit a spike that stuck out far enough, I just made a box around it and more or less extruded outwards. For the rest I just tried to match the shape - Hope its useful! ^^

nickcomeau

I love how the demon came out/how your rendered it. Great work! You should post wireframes for the whole model also.

RitualSynergY

Thanks nickcomeau! Sorry I took so long to get back with the full body wireframe.

Also a recent (bust?) perhaps for 3d printing!

RitualSynergY

Been working on my next project and I think the base is far enough to get some other eyes on it for some crits. Going to be making Samus Aran with pieces of her suit along the lines of the following concept art. Aiming for the folio with this one so any feedback will be greatly appreciated since this will be my first "full" female game art character. Anyways, on with it all!

RitualSynergY

*BUMP* Would love any feedback on her. ^^

RitualSynergY

Had some time to work on her a bit, finished most of the base bits for the zero suit. Decided to make her suit a blend of some of the concepts from my board. Going to start the armor, though I haven't really decided if I want to try some zbrush hard surface or just do it with box modeling... or both! O_o. If anyone out there has some suggestions on that, I'm all ears! (eyes?). As always, any feedback is appreciated.

Chantel-sky

Nice work you have here. The ears could use some love and the nose seems too long on the side view, the nostrils are meant to line up with the ear lobe and her wrists are too small. Other than that it's looking good!

RitualSynergY

Hey Chantel-Sky thanks! I can see what you mean about the nose and wrists, and Ill definitely spruce up the ear down the line. Thanks for the feedback!

RitualSynergY

Finally had some time to work on the armor block-out. I did some simple lines on top to give an idea of where I'm going with it. On-wards!


(EDIT)
(started from scratch, didn't like where this was going )

RitualSynergY

OK, back in action. Blocked/made most of the floaty bits around her. Still have to figure out the foot, weapon, and some internal cushion parts. Though we are close now! I am however dreading her hair...O_o.

HeyGafilimore

Everything looks solid dude! I would have made the same comment about the nose so no need to covee that. But everything else looks tight, can't wait to see the armor on her! Take care of that shoulder piece, if I recall correctly, Samus' shoulder pieces are very spherical and it looks like this one is starting to straighten out at the bottom. That may just be me though, I love circles lol. Keep up the amazong work dude!

RitualSynergY

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Just finished this up to take a break from the major projects. Concept by Boris Dyatlov. Onward!

nickcomeau

That's super creepy.... But really cool at the same time great work!

RitualSynergY

Haha thanks man. I think the next ones will be happier :P

RitualSynergY

O.K Finished up most of the HP armor, all of the smaller cuts and details I plan on doing in nDO. Adjusted minor stuff on her face and spent more time on her ear. Haven't decided if her hair is going to be cards or if I'm going to sculpt it though...:poly122:



Would love any feedback on her before I start heading into the LP/Bake/Hair stage. Onward!

kanga

Nice proportions, nice model. Its hard to judge without seeing the model completely. I am puzzled why you are showing it this way if you want feedback.

Nice work so far though.
Cheerio

RitualSynergY

Hey Kanga, really appreciate the feedback. I am not quite sure what you mean though. :P

Are you referring to her armor? If so, I'm showing it like that because it will be surrounding Samus like the concept I have on the first page. Like its "phasing" around her. If not, please do tell Thanks again!

kanga

Not sure how you are going to fit the body in there but it sounds like you have a plan

At the mo the eyes look like they will fall out of the face, they might need more eyelid on the bottom. The ears from the front view are not shaped like that. The middle piece is not flush with the outer one I think.

Cheers

PyrZern

I wanna see body in the suit ^^

RitualSynergY

Kanga : I had originally built the suit around a decimated version of her to make sure some of the closer parts would work. Though my plan for the final image is that some sections will be floating a bit farther from her body.

Great catch, totally agree about her eyes. I will also study up on my ears since I am missing the mark. Thanks again man!


@PyrZern : Thanks for dropping by! Your wish is my command
