Bacon's 3D Journey (W.I.P's Ahead)

baconboltz

Just a little info on this guy. He is an alien scout that is also a scavenger he will have armor and weapons but right now I'm focusing on the body.

Here is the references I'm using. I'm also gathering more on areas that I am missing.
Also using one of 3D totals anatomy books for Artists to help me along the process as well.


If you guys have any crits I would love to hear them thanks.

Damn I'm really bad at updating...... well I might as well post these.



Would love some feedback if anyone has the time plus the armor is super early blockout, right now I'm planning to change up the cape and make it more dynamic.

baconboltz

Decided to change up the torso a bit and the pants just wondering what he would look like with something more flexible to move in.

Small update but at least its an update

baconboltz

Drapery update finally had some time to make it work.

Decided to focus on the head and get that to a good point. Going to focus my attention to areas So i can get this done faster.

Ithronyar

Wow, looking good so far. Although the chin looks artificial to me. It's a little too sharp and edged; it makes my brain think "plastic". Unless that's a deliberate design choice, I would add a few more organic features to it.

its coming along quite nicely, cant wait to see how this progresses

Been a while working on this guy, and this new female character the concept of the female is by RockD. (I'm super bad at updating)

Currently doing retopo of the alien/detail pass then after that gotta do the same to the female and fix a few anatomy things on her.

Here are some test bakes on the low poly model. the alien retopology is around 95% done including the armor, just doing some test bakes now (new to marmoset so if anyone has tips on getting awesome bakes just let me know!) 

baconboltz

Started a new character! Learned tons from the other which is now on my Artstation.
The concept its by Paul Richards. This guy was supposed to be a paragon character I think but I'm not 100% that, so I decided to make my own version of him based on Paul's concepts here is the blockout so far let me know what you guys think.

Here's an update on the posture/ proportions

AliArto

wow amazing work 

baconboltz

thx dude I still suck in my own eyes

Update

baconboltz

Understanding how some of the hard surface shapes are supposed to look like. Slowly refining the upper body, going to be working on the arms and legs soon to get a bit more refined shapes.

baconboltz

Taking a small break from frog legs. Doing an anatomy study, finished the block out gonna start fixing proportions and refinement tomorrow.

Both of the alien creatures look like they might fall backwards. I think the legs need to be pushed back. You might google "fashion drawing balance" (I used to be a fashion drawing instructor). Also, with the first alien creature you posted, he could maybe use more of a pad/heel at the back of his foot. For both of these issues you might look at illustrations of "Pan" characters. The balance on the human figure is really good. Like the frog guy!

Update on the frog currently reworking most of his proportions cause they were wrong.
