Start of Wip;
Hi guys,
Here is some WIP so far.

Here is the story i am starting with.
Story: A man and his fiancee who both live together in the nearby village, go into the forest to complete a secret healing ritual. The ritual was supposed to strengthen the weakend state of the man. But in the process something goes wrong and the beautiful woman becomes the catalyst for a transformation of her man. Instead of just regaining his normal physical state, he becomes a beast instead. Packed with deformed limbs unable to be recognized. Only a burned shadow on the ground is left of the past away beauty.

Progress so far:

Basic Concept:

Blocking Stage with quick overpaint:

Wip:

Getting the base shapes going.

At the next stage he might change a good deal. Let me know what you think of it so far;) Have fun

The modelling is looking good, but the pose is very stiff. Even if this is the neutral pose, I think a little more bend in the knees would help sell the shapes a bit better  

good start!

@Revocare thanks for your thoughts, y the pose is the neutral T-pose. I will make the final posing with the finished low poly. But i did a little bending in the knee area, in my upcoming wip-version.

Here is my new wip. Didnt had much time lately to work on this project. But i focused on refinement, the facial features, and played around with some clothing ideas that are related to the actions in my story.
Next thing planned is to make some final changes on the highpoly and go over to the lowpoly, uving, plane based fur, object groups and then texturing. Rigging and posing usually can be done seperately, after the lowpoly is done.
Texturing will be done for the most part with Substance Painter and a bit photoshop.

Here are some updates on my wip:
Finished Details on the Highpoly:

I actually changed up some portions a little after making this render, so the final thing looks slightly different.
Afterwards i did the low poly version and baked the additional maps in substance painter:

Now i am mostly working on the texturing of the character. Also putting on the plane based fur.
