[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Bilgewater Pirate Shaco
hero character
LATEST UPDATE!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So there is a big chance I wont have time finishing this, but what the heck, lets give it a try anyway.
quick concept idea, not really happy with it yet, I feel he can be way more pirate-y then he is at the moment.
I also wanna do some more mask designs, I really want it to look like a skull, without getting censored in china if you know what I mean :P
so far Reaper from Overwatch has been a big inspiration for the mask, more iterations coming soon!
(Edit) FINAL CONCEPT!

@Nuclear Angel - yeah, this is the hard part, as Stuff mentioned as well, I want him to look like a pirate and not just a jester, I really need to find a good balance for it, I dont think Im there yet.
at the moment Im thinking of a mix between A and B for the costume, but right now I wanna show some mask explorations Ive been working on, Im gonna do a sheet of hats as well so stay tuned!
Good luck with it
So I spent some more time on the concept, looking at league concept art as reference and also just tried to make him look cooler and more epic overall.
I also made a Pirate chest as his Jack in the box.
@TouijriHamza - I agree, B is pretty much what I based this updated concept on.
@Ro-Bo @FemCharles @noth - Thanks guys, I'l try my best to deliver and not disappoint you
@Sy1ne - Thanks, Yeah I know League is ok with changing up colours and everything on skins, but I feel like Im loosing the pirate feel If I change the colour of the coat, I dunno, maybe I could try a blue or dark brown/black one, It might be something I try when I make my textures. thanks for the sugestion!
the spirit of Monkey island lives here
So I finally had some time to work on the 3D.
right now I feel like Im in the "Ryan Kingslien valley of suck" though. I almost dont want to post it cause it so blobby and ugly, but I guess I have to post something sooner or later :P
A few parts are blobby as you say, but overall it looks good, especially the belt/torso part. If this belt can't do its job, no belt can, lol.
Went for red this time.
I only had time to model some small hard-surface stuff, added trim and cleaned up some meshes here and there .
Its not that much left on the base-mesh now, then its time for the daggers and the Jack in the Box Pirate Chest!
The shapes you have everywhere are begging for handpainting! Can't wait!
hopefully I'l have some time during Christmas to work on the face
Made the dagger and started working on his face, I added a nose after all, he just looked empty without it.
You doing this in Zbrush any other program?
@Elithenia - Its about 75-80% zbrush, all the trim and hard surface stuff was modeled in Modo.
thanks for all the kind words and support though.
I will still finish finish him, just not in the time frame of the contest, so stay tuned!
cheers!
