The Beast thread - Kvir
polycounter lvl 8
Hello pals!
I'm a bit of a scrub at this game art stuff, but I guess hopping into the deep end is as good a way to learn as any right?
I'm about as proficient at 2D stuff as a flower pot is at stopping warheads, but I jotted down this concept sketch to show sort of what I'm going for with my beast.
Kvir is sort of a crow dude. His story is not entirely thought out yet, but he has a complicated relationship with a certain king's daughter. I'll update every now and then when I get to work on it

Didn't get around (hehe) to doing much on the back today, but we'll get there.
Thanks for taking a look at my stuff
Starting to feel content with the body, probably going to work on his props and stuff next. Cuffs and the harness/loincloth thing.
Thanks for stopping by!

@Dickbutt - Thank you very much! I agree with the thigh area being too smooth, but I think I'll have to take a look at the bigger picture when I get his loincloth or waist binding thingie in there. as for the muscle mass, I haven't really thought all that deeply about it yet. I kinda just go for a silhouette that I like and work from there.
That being said tho, I am fully aware that I need to study anatomy more. Get a more cohesive feel on my muscle mass and such.
As for the dick lol - I know many artists actually like to sculpt in a representation of some kind of genitalia, but I just don't find it all that useful. besides there will be clothing there so it wouldn't show anyway. I guess it would also be a waste of tris, now that I think about it.
You're definitely right about the pose. I'll take a closer look at the pose when I'm closer to the body shape I want to achieve. Thank you so much for taking the time to give feedback!
No significant progress today tho - been doing boring grown up stuff all day.
Just done some muscle stuff and other minor tweaks today. Put in bases for new cuffs and made a simple waistcloth too. Not sure what exactly I want to do with it yet. also opened his beak. I think the feet and hands need some work tomorrow.
Oh yeah and I made Low polys for a few props that I haven't put in ZBrush yet. Thanks for stopping by!

Update!
Not much changed on the backside, but got some work in on his head/hands/feet. Retopo and a bit of a pose coming up next I think. Feet look very chicken-like atm but I think they'll be fine when textures come in. I'll take a look with rested eyes when I wake up tomorrow.
Started a new day job this week so I've been kinda consumed by that. Got the pose down, but need to clean it up and add some scars and other details. Been doing low polys for the props as well, but those aren't very interesting yet
edit: forgot to mention the floor is just a placeholder - wouldn't wanna be quite that uniform lol
@fantasymaster - Thanks dude, I'm pretty excited to see how I do it myself lol - never touched on feathers or fur before. But I guess some time has got to be the first haha
@bejibo - Thank you! Yes I agree the head doesn't quite blend in still, but I'm hoping the addition of feather stuff will help me out on that - Hoping to get a lot done this weekend!
