hey !
it’s been a while since my first post and I am not used to be showing wip stuff, so recently I decided to develop a good ‘polycount’ habit in my daily routine.
I was working on a stylized character inspired by Overwatch and based on an awesome concept done by Valeriy Vegera.

Actually, my portfolio needs more variety and I thought this was a great opportunity to practice:
Stylized characters + designed to fit on an existing IP
Polished surfaces with clean edges
Shading and final presentation should be fun
Hope u like it! I’ll try to keep this updated as I progress. C&C are always appreciated.

hey @Tectonic, thanks for the feedback. yup, I agree, revised those things and did some modifications + added new parts I noticed in the concept and corrected some proportions. Slightly changes in general but hope it works better now. I may exaggerate the collar more, tried to go somewhere in between the illustration and the detail page, but feel it isn’t really noticeable from the front view. I’ll post more 3/4 and side shots on future updates.
Also I had a base for her weapon I started using zmodeler a while ago.
Nothing more to say
I wait for the suite
@Corderoch and @karytsukino thank you ! glad u guys like it : )
small update: I’ve been messing around with the hair. First time I work on stylized hair so I’ve done a few tests. Think I should define the overall flow before I sculpt over. Not sure about the results, so probably a second opinion would be helpful ; )
Maybe something a bit more subtle for this kind of haircut… dunno… we’ll see
I feel like you're over-detailing the hair. I think it'll suit her better if you kept the plane changes in the hair really really subtle and on a larger scale
Waiting for more
It´s a rough paintover but i´m with @polymator you´re detailing too much the hair if you want to do an overwatch style character. Instead of sculpt individual hairs via custom brushes i would maintain the simple and plain structure showed in the concepts and then sculpt some hair planes with a little elevation for break the plain hair and/or straight away hair parts like the sides cut. I put some references from overwatch, it´s hard to see but you can have some ideas.
And of course you can add tertiary details if you´re aiming to the final concept result.
hey @polymator and @Koromo thanks for the feedback ! I think you guys are right, that was also my first impression when I finished. I think I’ll try flatten some volumes, simplifying the forms and see how it goes. I dynameshed all the individual hairs into the base block so I feel it’s a matter of going back to reduce the main shapes and sculpt over to remove detail and make it more subtle.
And yeah, I was also using dva’s hi poly as one of the main references, but since it isn’t the same style of haircut, I’m not sure it’s really useful. Think that’s why I added some breaks here and there, and made it less straight.

Probably I’ll start looking at symettra’s haircut, think it fits better what I'm aiming for.

Back again, left this on standby because of the AS Beyond Human Challenge.

I’ve been working a bit more on this one. Subtle modifications overall. Planning to finish her hair, polish a few more things and move on to low poly.
Quick update on her hair.
