[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Plague Hunter Miss Fortune - Jmiles
interpolator
Heya-- I'm Miles and I've been a Polycount member for a number of years and lurk often in these contests. I'm a Character Artist at Hi-Rez Studios. I've never been great at playing League, but I really appreciate the art style and Champions. I've decided to jump into the fray with a concept of Miss Fortune as a Plague Hunter/Doctor/Gun Slinger type sent in a Steam Punk/ Victorian time period. Here is a ref board for my direction-- Bloodborne being a major influence. I will do my best to make some original choices for the costuming to come up with something unique. Lotta great pieces/ideas in the works, from what I've seen so far-- Good luck to everyone!

@Neer-- Good call Jared-- was brought to my attention that her silhouette also looks a lot like Leblanc's Raven skin.. honestly forgot about it, so I'll give the silhouette some more thought--
the one thing i would change is the plate gold feels a bit out of place, maybe pure leather armor would fit better or have the gold be more brassy. just my opinion
Over all this is looking awsome
@sstoev -- Thanks very much!
@BoBo_the_seal-- word dude! I'll try to figure something out w/ the hat-- trying to go for that look where girls will pin the hat to the side of their hair, like in my concept at the top of the thread.
Here's progress from tonight-- a little bit more and she'll be good to go for some sculpting
I will also be going for this theme as well. Hope it was kinda obvious, but figured I should just mention it anyway-- amazing skins these are!
Update from tonight. I am just about wrapped up with the figure sculpt, but any crits are welcome-- I still haven't really moved that hat around as was suggested-- but the intent is to make it look like it is pinned to the side of her hair. Still working out the design for her guns. Will post soon!
Only crit I can offer is that I'm not quite sure how to read the shoulder design. The silhouette looks good but it seems kind of random that the cloth would spike up like that. If the shoulder pads are going through those holes on the shawl maybe they could be metal instead? Or adding some kind of metal accent/trim like the rest of the cloth could work too.
Anyway, keep it up! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out
@doses222 -- thanks man!
Guns look stunning in close-up, but a bit noisy on the scene, in my opinion
@Shelest -- ah, thanks for letting me know-- was wondering about it-- I'll play around w/ the shapes some more to see if I can calm it down a bit.
Edit: Just saw your response to Bobo and I feel like if it were pinned it would be closer to the scalp? Not ontop of a big poof. Maybe I'm wrong?
@Neer -- Yeah man, I will certainly play around more w/ the hat's positioning-- I hadn't touched it since Bobo's crit, but yeah I will give it some more thought.
@lotet -- Yeah dude, I definitely want her to be young like her original skins and have more of a stylized face. I will give this more time before I move on!
@GravityBwlast -- Ya know, I will see about upping the scale of that face piece-- I really hope they don't blend out either as they're supposed to be a major focal point
Edit: @GravityBwlast -- I think I actually need to up the scale of the guns anyway-- other models I've seen come in at 1/3 or 1/2 her total height-- so yeah! good call!
@chemotoledo -- word dude! I'll continue to adjust the scale after my bake. I was hoping that this oversized scale would help make them read better from the game POV.
Nice progress man
Thx... I feel so slow now x)
