Boar Warrior WIP

Louisk

Hey guys, I'm trying to work on my stylized hand painted skills. This character is based on a Moby Francke concept piece. I've been working on this character sculpt for a month or so. I'm almost done with the high poly sculpt. I wanted to test some color schemes. Any feedback would be much appreciated.


I still need to finish sculpting the hair and do a fine detail pass on some parts. I'm not sure about the placement of the gourd.

I'm leaning towards 4, but I also like 2

Here's the original Concpet

Haha that's awesome! Great sculpt! One thing I noticed is that the fingers appear thinker/larger in the concept? Maybe that's just me. As for the colors, I only really like #2. It's the only one that jumps out at me. Have you tried playing around more with different material colors for the arm guards?

Keep at it, I'm looking forward to this!

Louisk

Hey thanks! I agree the hands/fingers could be a bit larger. The colors you see are just flat overlays. They are not meant to represent the final look at all. I'm just trying to figure out a general color scheme. So the arm guards will be painted to look like metal in the final texture and will have a more metallic specular as well!

The colors all look overstaturated to me.  I'd try a light desaturated pink and grey for the skin tone, and dark red hair, and brown leather/wood, and silver of course for the metal.  Anyway, its a cool concept man, I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out.

He's bit skinnier that the original design and looks like less of a muscular brute.

What you have is working ok, but if you really want to nail the concept, at the least I'd suggest thickening the arms and hands quite a bit and making them shorter. I'd probably add some bulk elsewhere too - larger upper back, broader head, thicker thighs, slightly wider belly. Really push all those shapes.

#2 I guess but then if you look at the bottom half it is very dark and very brown, at least perhaps add color to the cloth over his bits and pieces. Otherwise pretty cool progress and concept.
Edit was also thinking pig war paint over the face perhaps this would be white or some color that stands out if not the face somewhere, where it works.

Louisk

@BradMyers82 Yes they are a bit over saturated, but it's really just meant to get an idea of the color. The values and saturation will change a lot as I begin painting the actual texture

@SteveSchulze I agree I have been struggling to capture the same feel of weight as the concept. I'll give it another try. Thanks!

@DavidCruz It is a bit dark, when it comes to painting the final textures the value could be raised. I'm trying to keep the lower parts of the body darker to draw attention to the upper body. Thanks for the feedback!

Louisk

Here it is with adjusted proportions. Tried to widen and shorten his arms, increase his shoulder/bicep mass, and widen his face.

Still working on the hair

Hey there I'm finally getting back to this project!


Here's the lo res, I baked everything in Substance Designer


Here's what I'm thinking for the color of the body. I would really appreciate some feedback on the color break up

Louisk

I've only spent time on the body and some of the accessories on the body. Everything else is just some baked lighting/AO overlaid on solid colors
