[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Steampunk Shen

RogerP

Alrighty, I'm gonna give this one a go! Going with Shen, but in a more steampunk style. Sort of like Karl Ruprecht Kroenen from Hellboy

Good Luck

I use BPR within zBrush, just bump up the Rays and Angle both to around 100 and the light coming from the top left.

Thanks! Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm almost finished with all the retopology. I'll post some pics soon!

RogerP

Low poly mesh finished and basic bakes for the AO and Cavity done. Jumping into colors next!

RogerP

Texture WIP. Refinements coming up!

RogerP

Tested out the 3/4 top down view 

Baac320

Looking pretty cool, but i think his pants should be a different colour or a darker one alongside his boots

RogerP

Thanks Baac, Yes I need to tone down the color on the pants a bit probably.

leoartz

Looking great Roger, btw i think slight gradient will help

Thanks leoartz, Yeah that's coming on the next pass for sure >:)

chemotoledo

Pretty nice textures so far Roger! I'll just make some details like for instance the wrinkles of the cloth on a more large patterns so it can appreciate more from distance and a bit more stylized  but great work so far!

RogerP

Thanks for the feedback Chemotoledo yeah I see what you mean. I might have to leave that for the next time. I'm too deep into this one to make those changes 

Played around a bit more with the textures. Feeling pretty happy with how it is right now, I should be done soon.

doses222

Doing a lot of retouches on the textures at the moment and thinking of some poses

Man, everything about it is attractive. You managed to perform the theme very well, congrats : D . This is incredible. This foundation you created was wonderful too.

Thanks so much for the kind words! In all truth this is my first fully hand painted model so it's been a lot of back and forth, trial an error type deal. But very enjoyable none the less.

RogerP

Testing out some poses

yararstss

Master piece! haha About the first pose, I suggest you rotate your groin a little way there. The way the legs are now hardly the crotch would stay forward as it stands. I really like Shen's classic pose, go for it, bro. C:

RogerP

Thanks Yara! I will revise the pose
