[First Character] Anime Necromancer

Shiv0r

Hi Guys, currently try to finish my first character in 3D and get into all the workflows and the programms.

Here the Design which i made for a while for a other project:




And here some Progression:









And i tried out a bit to paint on it in 3D coat to test if it works or not:


Cheers!

Update:

Solidly cute sculpt. Can't wait to see the "monstrous" looking hat. Might want to soften the folds at the bottom of the pants and emphasize the indentations on the chest on her right side. From a design standpoint the shoulder skulls can be emphasized more... Make them affect her silhouette, right now they don't draw the eye.

Tectonic

cool

So cute!

You should go for eyebrows kinda like these characters

I really like the concept ShivOr.

Right now, your sculpt's proportions are off by a few heads. It's making the read be closer to a full grown adult, where the concept reads as child like. Which is fine, if that's what you had intended, but as is, it's losing a fair amount of the cute factor that's present in the concept.

I did a quick paint over showing what I'm referring to.



I straightened her body out a little in the concept so the read is more clear.

Shiv0r

Haftoof: Thx for the feedback I try to correct it.^^

@Tectonic: Thanks. :>

@blinKX10: Thanks, she had already eyebrowns like that.^^

@Dvolution: Thanks for the feedback. I didn't noticed that the proportion was off. As I saw your crtique my reaction was like that(haha):


I try to fix it. It's not 100% the same size and proportions but I think it's now closer to the concept:

Fenyce

She looks lovely, I really like her design. And the sculpt looks great, too. Don't have any critic rigt now, since you fixed the propotions. I'm looking forward for futher process.

TomGT

This is turning out pretty good for your first character! The proportion changes seem to be heading in a good direction towards your concept.

Keep it up!

Mimiws

CUTIEEE! nice work keep it up.

Shiv0r

@Fenyce , @TomGT and @Mimiws : Thx for the kind words. :>

Here a little update:


I reworked the hair because i played the last days Splatoon and i liked how they simplified the hair for the inkling and tried it out on my model. I like it so far. :>

Shiv0r

Started with the hat.

slosh

Definitely looking very solid for your first attempt!  I'm impressed...

Shiv0r

@slosh: Thanks. :>

Had not so much time in the past to work on it but I found a bit time now to make some progress:



I don't know how to make the cape from her. Should I use Marvelous Designer for that or do it straight in Zbrush?

Shiv0r

had now some time to do the retropro and the uv's. I bought for that from marc brunet the pbr character creation tutorial and tried to follow his steps in modo, because i have no exprience to make a reptropo or uv's. 

Shiv0r

I created now a scene in UE4 and  tried out a bit the UE4 sequencer:

Shiv0r

@TeriyakiStyle Thanks. Ya will try my best. :>

I revamped the scene again because the post process shader for the more cartoonish look didn't allow to use a metallic texture and i was in general not really happy with the scene.
Here some new pictures:




I also rigged for the first time a  character... it was fun and painfully, haha.


Trying now to do the Book and the Baton.
Cheers!

Eepox

Looks amazing. Well done! The green burning bits look so pretty and smooth, feeling well like part of the design.

Lord McMutton

Hey, this turned out pretty well! 

I feel like you could make the edge of the hat's brim a bit more defined- it feels a little soft at the moment. I'd also mess with the cool green flame particles, and make them a bit chunkier to better match the concept!

eFerrari

Amazing work Shiv0r!

izaakb

Wow! So cool to see this whole process! This is great!

jermaineb

very nice

Shiv0r

@Eepox Thanks, i was honestly not sure if i was able to do the fx at least cool looking so it's nice to know what other so think about the fx. :>

@Marshal Banana Thanks, i will tweak them a bit but i don't know if I'm able to achive the same look like in the concept art. Yeah i could tweak for sure the  3d model but i think on some point i need just to move on or im stuck all the time on this model, haha. I will for sure try to keep an eye on the next model to make it better. 

@eFerrari @izaakb @jermaineb Thanks. :>

So, i had some time and did the book i reworked it a bit:




I used a 3D Blockout to don't worry about the proportions and used than the same blockout for zbrush etc.


The Images are captured in UE4:
