[WIP] Stylized scene - Occult Room

arnov

Hello, I've been working on this little scene for a while, did some basic blockout and now im going for the props one by one. Some time ago I tried some different project, but it ended up being too much for me, keep in mind I've never done any stylized work so all the feedback is apprieciated. Also I'm gonna make some changes to the props, so it won't be 100% like in the concept.
My software: Blender, Zbrush, 3D-coat, photoshop, substance painter

Hey, thanks! Still trying to figure out If this is the best I can produce atm Hard to critize myself If I like what I'm doing

Finished Chair! Marmoset is pretty good.

Made some changes to the blockout of the 2nd chair. Went for more interesting look.

Haven't posted in a while, almost done with this one I think, had to redo textures

arnov

Almost done I think! I've been actually trying to handpaint something so there was lots of going back and forth. I actually learned so much from this piece and I think I'll be redoing previous chair to make it feel like this one, so a little thicker and different approach to textures. 

Any advice is appreciated, really!

I think this chair is my favourite piece so far.

That's a very ambitious project to take on, something complex and long. The way the wood transitions on those chairs, it is exceptional: from painted blue to the wood grain underneath I mean, the close ups look beautiful on their own. I like that you've taken on the spirit of the environment (as well) that's so crammed with things, even under the surface of those chairs (the painted surface) they're hiding something, and you've communicated that so well with your layers.

The only thing I noticed is, in your last post, the bottles on the table, the tallest one with the cloth(?) coiled around the top. The transition between that and the bottle is very harsh. If the scene is going to be unlit you might consider painting some AO onto the transition and little bit of color change to communicate the bounce light. All small things are all big things after all, like the wood on your chairs

Thank you for kind words   Yeah It wont be easy for sure, my time is quite limited too, so it might take me longer than I anticipated at first. Let's hope I finish it one day.
You're right about the bottle and I'll definitely fix it! I'm trying not to take too much time on new props, or else its gonna take forever :P I think I could have done better job with bottles overall.

Another one!  https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rRR4xe

Nice work.  Looks a little Disney-esque?

So cool! I've been wanting to make a magic book myself =D
I love the modeling and detailing of the table.
Some notes:
the texturing of the table feels sort of uniform. 
the wear is pretty similar all over, as well as the coloring.
And the texture of the paper has an indistingishable material. I would imagine the paper to be rougher, and if its old.....older.

Looking forward to your progress!

arnov

Thanks for feedback, I'll keep it in mind.

Here's something I'm working on right now.

arnov

Any Isaac fans? I've decied to focus on high poly until I finish every piece, then I will move to low poly. I feel like constanly switching between software is very tiring for me. Let's see how this will go for now

Huge progress with the scene. Gotta finish floor, walls and some other minor stuff, then I will finally move on to retopologizing.
 I'm gonna put out final render in ZBrush once I complete every high poly.

Holy shit! I'm not into stylized stuff, but your work is a pleasure to look at. Everything from sculpting to textures is amazing. I'll be watching this. Good luck on finishing it!

Finished highpoly! What a crazy journey that was, took me 1 year to get to this point. Can't wait to texture it.  https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xzeAK1
