[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST] Character art_PHANTOM JHIN

Iced_Latte · Nov 2017

It's the final hours of Riot Creative Contest, I've learned so much through the process of re-creating Jhin. Thanks to Polycount and Riot for hosting such a great event and all the polycounters that have helped me through

. Here's the final images I submitted for this contest:

Hey Guys!
I've been a fan of the art of LoL for a long while. I'm so excited to take part in the creative contest! I'll be working on an alternate version of Jhin (my fav champion) with the Phantom of the Opera vive. Hopefully I can have your support and comments

Honestly I'm still messing around with the concept...so late T.T the turn-around will come up as soon as possible.
Best wishes,
_Alex.

He's still far from being presentable :P But I'm stoked to be carrying this out.

Bodhwell · Nov 2017

VERY thematic, I can't wait to see how it turns out. I love the Phantom of the Opera mask. I can already imagine his "symphony" playing.

Iced_Latte · Nov 2017

Thank you, @Bodhwell! I'm glad you like his concept

Autumn27 · Nov 2017

I love your idea! I cant wait to see how it ends up!

Iced_Latte · Nov 2017

Hey @Autumn27 Thank you so much!

Iced_Latte · Nov 2017

Happy Holidays, guys!

It's been crazy at school but I hope to get more stuff done through out this week. Here's the block out for Jhin. Overall, the shapes are still a bit too soft for my liking. Comments and critiques are very welcomed as always!

The character is advancing pretty well ! maybe should watch out for the legs , they feel a bit off but it's really well , can't wait to see the colored version !

Iced_Latte · Dec 2017

@TouijriHamza: Thank you for your critique! Hopefully this update helps with the legs a bit.

Finals got me good T.T Here's the update for the character:
C&C are very appreciated!

Iced_Latte · Dec 2017

An update before the New Year roll around. I Didn't change him much. Just some modifications in his topology. Gonna work on completing the gun next.

I also fixed up the concept for read-ablility and stuff. Hopefully it's a bit cleaner than before :P

Iced_Latte · Jan 2018

Update!! Just a bit more work for the low poly and I think we can carry on with unwrapping and texture

Let's see how this goes with painting in the textures...If the islands needs more space I guess I can do it in 3d coat :P

Looks pretty cool!!!Good job!

Iced_Latte · Jan 2018

@benefix Thank youu

Iced_Latte · Jan 2018

Update for the textures:

Here's a turnaround of my progress on Jhin so far:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/9e/cyma8xbh0hq4.jpg

I think putting him on a pedestal would help a bit more. Should I keep the it? Does the pedestal looks too bare? Too distracting?
Here's the WIP of the texture sheets:

I'm so glad I made it to the painting part T.T

Haub · Jan 2018

Nice work in general ! The final result looks good

To my opinion, you could add maybe more details in High poly model for great baking, or maybe some details in the texture (but not to much) but if you can't or don't know what else to do, it's not a big deal, it looks nice anyway ! Good Job

Iced_Latte · Jan 2018

@haub I agree! He needs more value and detail variations in his clothes. XP Thank you for the feed back! I'll keep working on adding stuff to the texture. Cheers!

Iced_Latte · Jan 2018

Update for my progress so far. Added some definition to his costume.

TheIceWolves · Jan 2018

Looking dope ingame. this could use some hard edge details but i guess its still a wip so waiting for the final textures

Haub · Jan 2018

It's looking great now with those details, good job !

Iced_Latte · Jan 2018

Thanks guys for your support!!

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates last week. I got a really bad flu after the first week of school T.T Didn't get to work on him a lot. Here's the progress for Jhin. He's still looking a bit cland for some reason so I'll have to figure it out quick :P
