[RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Superjet Vi

displacedinvader

Hello there!

I'm pretty excited partisipating in such a great contest in along with the awesome artists from Polycount community. Let's have some fun and good luck to all.

Here is what I have for today. Just rough concept mesh, nothing is final here (well maybe fingers and shoulder pads are not gonna change). I've started with Neon Strike skin as a base, cause I like the suit, but I want to rework it here and there to get something different. Still need to balance and find the right scale for all the shapes because them looks a little bit over-exaggerated. Springs in the heels probably is a silly idea.    So I'll back with some refinement asap.

Little update. Working on the hand design. Still just a blockout to find more sci-fi ish look. I want to keep hammer mechanism but make it more suitable for overall costume.

@jmiles @Shelest @gyllenhaal ; Thanks guys! Much appreciate.

Shelest

@Shelest @Art1ficer @GravityBwlast @RogerP ;Thanks for your support guys. It helps a lot. 
@Jager Now it's clean  Thanks.

I'm pretty happy with hands for now. It's time to move on. 

Jarran

the hands are sick! i love the addition of the fan on the back. im unsure if some of the smaller details will be able to be seen clearly from game view though.

displacedinvader

@Jarran Yeah you right some details will definitely be lost, but it took seconds for me to get them so I don't care to much. Made them just for fun and I hope they'll help me with texturing. Thanks.

displacedinvader

Zip-zip! 

Shelest

I love the fan! 
It reminds me of the beautiful Gtx 1080 Ti 
Keep it up man!!

displacedinvader

@Shelest Yes man. Her hands generate the Bitcoins I swear! 

Haub

Amazing man ! Did you use Zmodeler to do this ?

displacedinvader

@Haub Thanks man! Well, not too much Zmodeler here mostly for chamfers. Most of other stuff it's just good old Dynamesh + Insert mesh + Clip Curve + hPolish brushes.

chemotoledo

Woow! Pretty great forearm ^^ just love it! I'll love to watch this entire character  

Haub

@displacedinvader Wow ok ! I've never succeed doing hard surface in Zbrush, I find it really difficult. How did you make your line that clean ? I'm really impressed because they look so smooth Did you use basic or polish Dynamesh ?
And thanks for sharing your experience

displacedinvader

@chemotoledo Thanks man!

@Haub Well it's hard to explain because there is nothing fancy here. There is no any formula, just a lot hours of practice. 

At the begininng I keep my meshes simple and separate to get them clean. I merge them only at the end. 


I use polygrouping a lot. I also use Polish by groups feature. Sometimes I use ZRemesher with Keep Groups button on. To get my groups I use maskin brush with Depth settings like on the image below:


Then it will work like this:



I hope this would help. There are a lot of more useful tutorials online. Check this out for example: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/w-a-s-p-tutorial
