Self-Portrait Game Character :D

TheKesslerEffect

Just wanted to start a thread showing what I am up to. This project is to turn myself into a realistic game character by the end of seven weeks, when Adam Skutt's class is finished. So far this is what I have after 3 days. 
Day 1 - Head blockout


Day 1 - Body blockout (just enough forms to go into marvelous tomorrow)


Day 2 - Marvelous!


Day 2 - Marvelous to Zbrush sculpting


Day 3 - My racing shoes (the soles still need to be sculpted out, but  I ran out of time)


Stay tuned for more!

This looks excellent! i love the forms on the clothing. How do you get the layering details on the shoes?

Thanks! I sculpted the shoe making sure to detail where the cuts were to go. Then I took it into maya and build a lowres mesh making sure to follow those cuts. After that I extruded in layers starting with everything selected except for the cloth sides. Then deselected the next layer from the bottom and extruded again and repeated until all layers were extruded in order. 
I took the shoes back into zbrush and grouped by normals and then creased the polygroups so that the layers had a sharp edge for a couple divisions. Then I removed the creases and subdivided again to round out the sharp edge.
That's pretty much it. There are probably better ways to go about it though

Thanks guys! We're gettin' there

Just a small update for Day 5. Haven't gotten the chance to work on this until today. I fleshed out the head some more and made some rough hands.

Going nicely I get a feeling like eyes might be tad too small, tho

This is looking really solid but damn boring subject matter!  Hah I'm kidding. Very nice work so far!

Thanks guys! I worked on the eyes some more after your comment Definitely what it was.
Here is a small update since I don't get a lot of time to work on this in my spare time. Just added some finer detail and going to work on the lips some more later.
