Looking forward to feedback and crits.

Trying to fit puffy shorts, but they just don't look like i want them too


Here's a material i'm working on


Here's another gif.

And a quick experiment to recreate hot new trees from a Dota 2 map.

I guess i'll just use doublepost as reserved spaces then.
Did a hair blockout.

vlad_the_implyer

Sketched the hands

And did a Dota2 thing

vlad_the_implyer

Transpose master is actually really good. Should've tried if it makes proper layers, but it's a nice result anyway!

vlad_the_implyer

Redid the hair a bit, added some banana flavour in

vlad_the_implyer

Blocked in bolero jacket. Wanted to put some ornaments on it, but findin a good book or a reference proves surprisingly hard

vlad_the_implyer

Loving the hair treatment here!

The skin shading is a bit too dark, especially above the eyelids, in the nose corners, between the breasts, and especially under the chin. If you knocked it back a few shades the skin would really glow. But man, dat hair!

Macrow

Even with exaggerated form, you've captured a nice sense of proportion.

vlad_the_implyer

Made a short guide breaking down a tree making process.

Full version is on my blog, as not to clutter.

Looks very nice! I adore the artstyle. But why dont use the same texture for all the leaves instead of making the unique?
Cheers

Hey Vlad nice to see your work here I love your style. Just want to say your brushes for Zbrush are very useful and thanks for that breakdown too. Add to fav.

vlad_the_implyer

Made a quick one. Quakes pixelated grit speaks to my heart, i hope i'll be able to give it what it really deserves.
