Johannes Helgeson Fan Art

CaesarAlbertus · Oct 2016

Hi guys

I started to work on this character of the amazing concept from Johannes Helgeson

Since the concept is only the top half I searched for some references about the clothing and the style I want to approach I really want to become a character artist, so it time to start practicing to get better and learn a lot, its really great to be here in this community full of talented people

Ged · Oct 2016

your welcome, thanks!. I like the way youve kept with the concepts style when inventing his bottom half. I think the arched belt strap will do strange things to the silhouette, maybe there is another way you could handle that part of the coat? you dont see a big strap on blade http://www.desireleather.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Blade-Leather-Coat.jpg

This is looking super awesome already man, love that face you have going on. Excited to see this progress!

Nuclear Angel · Nov 2016

I love the stylization you got going already, this seems super promising, subbed!

Ouran · Nov 2016

Starting strong ! My only crit would be that his upper body doesn't feel as wide as the concept.

Nikolas3D · Nov 2016

Nice Work ! perhaps the coat is more close to the neck in the top?

CaesarAlbertus · Nov 2016

Took some time but finally bakes are done still doing some clean up and the sword looks a bit weird I thing I would reduce the surface detail

nice bakes, its looking good, are you gonna emulate the fur done in the concept? - less solid and more fluffy sorta alpha layered stuff
