MadGunslinger

Alright, time to start on another character.
Decided to go for a smaller one and to design it myself this time.
Here's one of the sketches. Gonna go with this one and see where I can take it.
More to come!



EDIT: Some more sketches while I'm at it.

mrgesy

Really attention-catching concept. Waiting for updates on the 3D version

Tits

awww thats cute

PixelNative

Thats awesome!

lotet

adorable

CandyStripes05

A and D are my picks, love the concepts man

Kid.in.the.Dark

I'd say B's staff with D's everything else.

Very cute though nice work so far on the concepts (Y)

amirabd2130

nice concepts man.
i like B & D versions. don't know but maybe you should merge them

MadGunslinger

Thanks everyone! Merged those and did some color studies.
Gonna let it rest and make the final version later.

amirabd2130

NICE

I like the colors of the left image on the top row and the right image on the middle row

Fenyce

beautiful colors! Love them all! And awesome design, lovely.

MadGunslinger

Started on the blockout (very early WIP)

MadGunslinger

Time for detailing!

bkost

Hey man, great work as always! Great step to working on your own concepts, I'd say the next step would be to rig a model. I want to see that from you sometime (unless you already do that to you models, then keep it up!).

My criticism would be on Mushroom Dude's ear, the helix of it is looking a little bulgey.

Keep it up

edit: oh for the color palette, I really dig the bottom right and mid right. I could see him hanging in an enchanted forest. The blue/purple concepts remind me of a smurf :P

MadGunslinger

Thanks for the feedback bkost! And yes, I already rig and skin all of my characters
When I get into the Sketchfab animation beta thingy, Ill upload Durotan's walking animation there

amirabd2130

very nice so far :thumbup:

DavidCruz

I like this little guy, 3rd row right img as well.

j_swan

Cool design, would be fun to see in a game for sure.

MadGunslinger

Nearly done with the sculpt

GabrielP

This guy would be a blast to animate, keep it up.

TGI

omg I love his design! Keep up the great work, I'll def be keeping an eye on this thread

MadGunslinger

Sculpt is finished now. Feathers will be bent in the low poly and I might add fur on the other side of the gauntlets and the staff as well. Not sure yet.

SleepingGiant

Looking really great MadGunslinger! Awesome use of shapes!

CmdrSpaceCat

This looks so amazing! Can't wait to see the next steps

monkeymintaka

He looks like a...fungi!!

Crazy_pixel

Cool style, I really like the appeal. Keep it up :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Bolovorix

Look great MadGunslinger! Those concepts are really fun and I can't wait to see you get some textures on him.

amirabd2130

turned out great. keep rocking

MadGunslinger

Still need to optimize some stuff, but here he is, baked at 12k tris atm.
Gave the eyes some emissive already to check how it's gonna look.

adam

What're you planning for final presentation? Some sort of small scene on a diorama I hope!

lotet

Turning out great! I think the legs are a tad short though, and kind of lack the curve in the feet. its subtle but in the concept th legs look better.

MadGunslinger

Quick test for colors and lighting. (Flat colos, everything still needs to be handpainted)

aaronmwolford

Off to a great start. Liking the color pallet you chose.

amirabd2130

great work, but I prefer the warmer color pallet

MadGunslinger

Mushroom Dude is finished!

great job man :thumbup: :thumbup:

< ASH >

Hey MadGunslinger the character's concepts are really funny and colorfull, but the final character simply went far ahead: well done !

Maybe the only thing that I don't like 100% is the thick black contour around the character silhouette (I would make it a little thinner), but I guess is something "wanted" and that probably also depend of the shader you used in Marmoset. :poly121:

aaronmwolford

Nice work. Really like the lighting setup and the mood.

oxygencube

Very nice! Love the color palate.

kevinjohnxson

Love this character. Great work!

Sebeuroc

Nice work! I like the style, and everything looks tight/clean.

MadGunslinger

Thanks everyone! ^^
And yeah Ash, that's something some people really like and other really hate. But good to know you would not leave it out, but make it a little thinner instead. Thanks!
