Sketchbook: OMGkittenz

omgkittenz

Trying to build a habit of working on 3D character modeling every week, if not every day. Critiques welcome, although at the moment I realize I need to just keep making more models to build up both my critical eye as well as technical skill.

New project.
EDIT: To expand on my goals--

1. SPEED! Complete the sculpt in 10 hours, tops. Will keep a running tab here. Texturing will take more time, so I'm giving myself a little more leeway there.
2. Use/learn Substance Painter. Also learn the workflow between it and Substance Designer.
3. Practice hard surface modeling.
4. Target polycount of 14k. I have a habit of trying to reduce polys so much that they don't look as good as they should.

Concept


This morning's progress. (1.5 hours)

Running total = 3.5 hours

Close to finished blocking out the body. Started on the flying contraption. Will try my hand at hard surface modeling that part. Also, the 2 models are not to scale.

Trying to decide if I want to use cards for the monkey's hair, or if I should sculpt it and use it for normals. Leaning towards cards.

Running total = 4.5 hours

Used Shadow Box to create the wing pieces, which I had not used before. Level up!
