[Finished] Crossbow

MarcoAntonio

Hello people!!!

I am trying to increase variety in my portfolio (https://www.artstation.com/marcoantoniomeirelescarvalho) and so I have decided to create a crossbow. Here I am going to show my progress with it. I am open to critics and any comment. 

So... I have drawn a quick sketch for my crossbow (I am not a concept artist but I want to increase my art style):


I have been making some modeling inside 3dsmax and this is what I have got until now:

Here are some reference I used:

Hello people! Here I have more progress:

At the end I decided to change a bit the initial design:


Which one do you like the most, comparing with my previous post?

Today I have made a basic High poly model inside 3dsmax. Now I will export it to zbrush to refine details.

Hey man, this is looking dope. Keep it up!

Also, I'm checking out your other weapons on Artstation and they all look hella sick.

thanks Ashervisalis! I have just started. I decided to make a project like this to see where I could get with zbrush. I lot of work is needed but it will look good at the end.

New Update people! I am working on some carvings. This is the first time I do something like this inside zbrush (something this complex) but I am happy with the result and I am learning a lot of things! Please, tell me what you think. Any feedback is appreciated.

Looking pretty good! love the details you sculpting in!
Are you following any reference for those or just go freestyle? is it a combination of dam standard and trim dynamic?

Thanks Lokthar! I used DamStandard and ClayBuild for the carvings (for which I used both reference and freestyle). Then I used Trim brushes to give a more "wood carved" appearance.

At the beginning I wanted to include a head at the end of the crossbow, but it did not fit with the floral ornaments so I have decided to change the design. Furthermore, some elements didn't make sense in terms of functionality, so I made some more changes.

Well... I changed the design (again) but now I am almost happy with the result. There are still some design problems but I can´t solve them at this stage.

Hello people!!
I have just finished the low poly and made the bakes. I still have to texture it inside substancePainter but I have already set the material setup.

MarcoAntonio

Aaaaaand....IT IS DOOne!!!
Here you have.
Any help, idea or comment about how to improve its textures will be appreciated. Don't be shy. There is always a way to improve it.
