Shurkuris's Improvement Thread

Shurkuris · Sep 2015

I want to improve my skills at 3D Modeling, Texturing and Animating.

I'm currently working off this Concept Art by David Revoy : Chaos & Evolutions.

This is my High-Poly WIP. I'm currently concentrating on her Clothing and Accessories.

I will be modeling her Chest, Arms and Head separately.

I'm going to shelf this character for awhile, I'm happy enough with her clothes and hands. Two pieces of the modeling puzzle that I've finally cracked open just a little.

Sculpting her face is just frustrating, so she's stuck with her balloon head for now.

Moving on to a Battlemage.

Working on a Bipedal Grizzly Bear/Tortoise creature for Sketchfab's Tabletop Wars contest, looking for any and all C&C, particularly in these areas...

-The face, I will be concentrating a lot of the bears sculpting here and eventually the paws. The rest of the body will have hair sculpted on it.

-General anatomy structure of the body is correct/proportional, it will be covered later by sculpted hair. (He is bipedal, so I have borrowed some human anatomy for the arms & legs)

-Any comments on the Tortoise Shell

-Help with dressing my guy up with Props/Clothing. I'm not very good at drawing and even worse at conceptualizing, so I would appreciate your thoughts on what I could change or add!

To clarify, my two primary animals that I'm basing the model off, are the Grizzly Bear & African Spurred Tortoise.

My general idea for the character is that he hails from an Eastern Country who covets Liquor. He utilizes Alcohol and Martial Arts as his primary forms of attack. A Drunken Sage Master of sorts might best describe him. He will be wielding Saki as his currently favorite choice of alcohol.

Was swamped with Homework, but I finally got that under control so I should have the next 3 days to go rush this to completion... hopefully!

Did a little work on the face, and I'm trying out fur sculpting. I'm happy with it is now, any C&C would be appreciated! (The fur your seeing is roughly what the final would look like, I just up-resed it and sculpted a little more as a test to see how it would look)

Worked some more on the Fur, almost done with the head. Did some minor adjustments on the head and face.

This is the final model for Sketchfab's TableTopWars. It is downloadable and should be ready for 3D Printing if your interested, will be printing it myself.

I'm officially done with my Bear-Tortoise model, I printed it and everything is all right. Here is a GIF detailing start to finish.

So my next project is this lovely character by Hojoon Choi. (Artstation)

I'm still relatively new to Human anatomy, and this is what I've been doing for 3 days. Tweaking her based off the critiques I get from fellow students and instructors.
I know their are a lot of areas I need to improve on, but be as candid with your C&C please!

Slowly tweaking the Warrior Woman Sculpt...

Also did a Hand Painted Wood study today...

Testing out making a seamless texture from ZBrush. I must of forgotten to turn on the Brush>Curve>Wrapmode on some brushes, as the final texture isn't 100% tillable.

Texture is composited from Normal, AO, Curvature and some layer adjustments.
