Pirate Tower

Tobbo

This is based off of a concept piece by Artyom Vlaskin.

Here's the basic block out. Right now I'm just trying to get the scale and proportions correct before I move on to defining edges for the high poly.

If you have any Critiques or see anything that's really off I would love to hear it!

I probably started this thread too soon.

Here's some high poly work. I'm looking for critiques before I do a stylized sculpt pass.

Cloth and ropes still need to be added.

Thanks!

Elrinion

That looks great! Any specific engine or poly density you're targeting?

Keep up the good work. o/

Tobbo

Thanks Elrinion.

I think I'm just going to turn it into a diorama scene inside of Marmoset Toolbag 2. That way it can be viewed inside of Marmoset Viewer as well. I'll probably add some grass, a few rocks, and maybe a little bit of vegetation to fill it out a little more.

Tobbo

Here's an update. Added the ropes and cloth work.

Next up will be a stylized sculpt pass in Zbrush before I bake this down.

I'm still looking for critique!

Very cool! Can't wait to see rendering version!

The high poly looks good and definitely captures the proportion and silhouette of the concept. Vlaskin does a good job applying a kind of chunky aesthetic at various levels of the shape hierarchy in his designs. You'll notice more detail where shapes connect to tie the design together. The wood in particular will be fun to explore in zBrush. Looking forward to seeing the sculpt.

Tobbo

@Bill_Fougasse Thanks!

@jStins Thanks! I really love Vlaskin's style. I hope I can do the concept justice!

Cheers!

Edit: Trying to fix the banding/compression
 

Tobbo

Sorry about that. Let's try this again. 

Here's an update. Next will be textures! I would appreciate any critique you can give up to this point.  

Maxilator

Looks really good!

Har

That flag came out great, the rest looks good too.

Dragonar

Hey Tobbo , really cool continue like that

mats effect

Looks great. Only thing I would suggest is a bit more damage I guess it depends what you are going for a no need to over do it but a few sword hacks taken out of the main supports or something might look cool. Only a suggestion though. Nice work

Tobbo

@Maxilator Thanks! 
@Har Thanks! Yeah, I was trying not to overdo it on the rips and tears. 
@Dragonar Thanks! 
@MatsEffect Thanks! That's an interesting idea and I will certainly look into it. 

I'm not entirely sure which direction to take the ground in. I'm kind of wanting to do some tropical vegetation and more rocks to fill out the diorama a little more.

I love the design and the model. Great. It's clean, precise work. What tool are you going to use for the texturing? And what style? Realistic? Handpainting?

Tobbo

@DanielR17 Thanks! I'm planning on doing the texture work in Substance Designer. I'm going for a bit of a stylistic style but at the same time I'm not trying to make it look too cartoony.
