Sketchbook: PolyGhoul

PolyGhoul

Hello everyone! My name is Nick Callow and I go by PolyGhoul in the realm of 3D forums. My most recent work experience was working for Dead Panic Studios. I had the privilege of working on technical character work for Orcs Must Die: Unchained. Unfortunately I was unable to include that work in my portfolio. Therefore, I will be posting to this digital sketchbook as I re-vamp my entire portfolio to show my skills as a Character Artist.

Comments & Critiques are always welcome as there will always be room for improvement.

Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Respectfully,
Nick, A.K.A. (PolyGhoul)

Hey guys & gals, I recently started a new character to start of the re-vamping of my online portfolio. I will be taking him from High Poly Sculpt all the way to a finished Low Poly Game Character. The character will be based off of the concept below that I found by Tyson Murphy.

Hi polyghoul, nice work there . The main issue I see with your sculpt is the lack of a waist. I think it could work better if you brought the hip down a bit:

Thank you Skinpop for your critique and paint over. I believe this is something I addressed in the later stages of the character. I ended up giving him more fat around the belly and developed some love handles. Also, I was keeping in mind that most of his waist was going to be covered by his loin cloth and belt.

np,
always happy to help.

It has been a while, but I have jumped back into the realm of 3D. I am feeling a bit better moving forward and hopefully you will see a lot more out of me in the near future! For now, here is the start of a stylized male character model that I have been working on.
