Goblin guy is looking great, @floon! I really like your texture detail on his cap and skin. Can't wait to see how he looks with some materials and lighting added!

floon

Thank you @dGreenberg! I still need to figure out some technical details, but am already very much looking forward to work on the texture .

floon

Started to texture the head. Love the Marmoset Toolbag & Substance Painter dynamic, really makes texturing/tweaking a fun process !

floon

Continued to texture the rest of the body. There are still a lot of areas I want to work on, but I am happy with the progress sofar.
I also decided to rework the plain leather bag to a stylish toad skin bag !

Go2frag

Oh man, this goblin looks incredible! Awesome work  

lotet

wow, really nice work!

my biggest crit would be the colors, everything is very green. It would be nice to see some browns in there for the clothes. If you absolutely wanna stick with the toad skin color Id consider changing the skin color of the goblin itself.

floon

@Go2frag Thank you !

@lotet finding fitting color for his clothes is something I really struggle with. I always try to imagine, where the goblin lives and what materials he has at disposal to craft his clothing from. The clothes are mostly made of leather, but reading your comment I realized, that the green lighting/environment map might be too intense.
This is what he looks like in a more neutral light:



I still think you have a valid point thought! Some more color variation would definitely improve the overall look. I will see what I can do.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!

floon

Back with another update:

I consider the texture done and will start to work on a small environment scene to present him hin.

Let me know what you think!

lotet

Textures/colors look much better now

AgelosAp

Yep, he looks really well put together and "grounded".

Those desaturated butt-cheeks though!

floon

@lotet Thank you! Your previous feedback definitely gave a push in the right direction .

@AgelosAp Thanks man! I use things from my surroundings as a reference as often as I can.

Spend the past few evenings painting and modelling in Zbrush on this. Decimated highpoly with Polypaint - rendered in Marmoset.
Based on an early Shrek character concept. Unfortunately I was not able to find the Artist behind this.
3D viewer scene can be found on artstation !



(Since I start so see a pattern in my work: next character will NOT have green skin ! ...probably)

floon

I took part in the Artstation challenge last year, but life got in the way and I wasn't able to meet the deadline. Happy that I picked it up again and didn't add it to the pile of shame.

So here is my version of Artur Nakhodkin's Merlin concept:

I have a few more renderings and a Marmoset viewer scene over at Artstation, so go check them out if you are interested. There might also be a hidden a little Greentooth

P.s.: Nooooooooo without realizing I picked a green-skin again. Well, I guess it's a trademark by now. I blame Polycount x)!

TheMeekon

Very nice! I really like the progression of your work. I started doing the bard concept and spotted your work from there.

floon

Thanks @TheMeekon. Really appreciate your comment !
