Hi all. I figured I will start posting stuff on sites like here and ZBrushCentral as a way to get critiques, showcase projects I am working on, and to also branch out more to a community of artists. So hopefully you all enjoy!

My current project is Sakura here. I have these rough-clean model sheets created as a base to understanding her design.

The endgoal for Sakura here will be to have a game rig created to use in Maya and Unreal.

And I just began working on her 3D version in ZBrush.
Blocking out the basemesh body:

A few days later I made time to get back to working on her basemesh and apply some stronger anatomy and fix the ugly block in.

And I started adding in some forms for her clothing and armor today to get the masses in there and began working on the breastplate primary forms.

Thanks for taking the time to checking this out and I hope you enjoy the progress

. I'll post again soon when I have some previous projects set up in a nicer presentable fashion to showcase some other pieces I have created.

Here are some progress images of Sakura. Someone had commented in another forum about my anatomy feeling off so I went back with my anatomy books and reworked her from the muscle structure and up. Her proportions were a tad off on the older versions and I am more proud of these.

Then I added in the fat pockets and smoothed out the form, extracted the clothing from there to build up her skin suit under the armor.

And brought her in to Maya to work on her armor pieces. Currently still blocking her armor pieces out before going in to more depth. I should have her all set for bringing back in to ZBrush for more work tomorrow!

I plan on working on texture details MUCH later once I have the armor pieces together and their shapes solidified so I can work on the whole body at once. Thanks for taking the time to looking at this and I hope you like her progress!

Hey All!

I made some progress today on Sakura. Here is what she looks like looks like so far. Tomorrow I will be going through and polishing up the forms in her armor to clean up the stretching and warped edges.

Hope you enjoy and C&C welcomed!

Been a while since I posted anything. Sakura is making progress. I just finished re-topoing her low res version and am beginning the texturing process next along with hair cards. Here's her in Sketchfab with a quick test normal bake and flats with ambient occlusion for something.

Oh wow I haven't posted here in a while. Well, during my time away I leveled up a bit.

I had the pleasure of being a part of Gilberto Magno's 3D Character for Games workshop. http://gilbertomagno.com/ws-games-en/ This was a really fun project to work on to improve my skills and get some industry level feedback. Hope you like it as much as I had making this piece .

If you would like to see the Marmoset Viewer of this character, you can find it on my artstation page at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/540Q1.
