Artstation Challenge WIP - Words of the Prophet

Tairow · May 2017

Hi everyone!

Since I wasn't able to finish the challenge in time, this thread is to show the progress of the character, I will stick the the challenge rules.
My character is the Words of the Prophet, based on a concept by Tatiana Vetrova created for the challenge.

Hey, really cool.
For your LP, It might be worth turning the tears and holes into alphas. It will give you more flexibility when it comes to texturing and you'll save on some tris. : )

Hi Croftyness thanks for the comment, I agree, but for this character I have a lot of tris to use, so I've tried to model everything, I gonna use maybe alpha only for the hair cards.

Here is the Wip on the texture, on substance painter right now.

wow, nice work, Textures are looking great.

Tairow · Jul 2017

Hey lotet thanks!!
The character is almost complete, texture is done, I may need to adjust few things though. I'll now proceed to a nice pose and render.
I hope you all like. Any critis and comments are welcome.

I think the skin could w a lot whiter, matching the concept a bit more. other then that its looking really good!

Tairow · Jul 2017

Hey lotet, i've tried with the wither skin, but seemed kinda flat with the shader, so I've pumped a bit more of blood into him! XD

I'll call him complete.

This is so cool @Tairow, you have done a great job.
My only point is about face skin that seems a bit off to me, maybe a bit glossier but I'm not a master of ksin shading to point out really how to make it better

If entered in time, you would have had at least an honourable mention in the competition imho.

Are you thinking of entering in the new challange?

Tairow · Jul 2017

Hey Sense42! Thanks for the comment!! I work a lot on the skin, but I'm satisfied with the result right now, I've tried with increased gloss on the skin, but looked weird with his scars/blood.

I'll probably wont enter the new challenge for now, I need to work on a lot of stuff. So I won't have the time.
