Video Game - Hand painted Creature

chemotoledo

I want to share a project that I work on my free time to  practice  the video game hand painted models.
I base on the great concept from Baldi Konijn. Hope you find something interesting on it, critics and comments are so welcome. And I'll be glad to answer any question regarding the process, tools or tips to develop this kind of models and texture if you have some. 

Concept by: Baldi Konijn https://exomemory.deviantart.com/art/Crawler-concept-626623226



I made a rough 3D sculpture to base the main forms, but I continue tweak proportions and shapes on the low poly.


Low poly: 5,726 triangles 


1 UV set of 2K


And this is the final model with its hand painted texture:

Here's the model at Sketchfab so you can check in a more free-deep way:

This looks awesome! Which software did you use to paint? And from the highpoly, Do you extract any maps? for example, AO,Normal? if so, how do you composite them in the final texture?

Thanks @lotet ^^ I appreciate the time you take to leave comments

Hi @jwills

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments. About your questions;
-I use 3D Coat majority  to make the textures and also Photoshop for color corrections, light and shadow balance, etc.
2-For this one I don't bake maps, but for a more serious model I do, I make a clean high poly, retopo the low poly on it and from there extract maps like: AO, normal map, World space map and work those maps to establish a base gray scale volume texture and start texturing.

You can watch what I'm taking about here on one model that I made (page 2):

And also, you can find some interesting tutorial that use this maps as I mention:

Hope this info can be useful and best of luck!

The 3D model is more lively than the concept. That's rarely the case. Awesome work man!!!

@jose.fuentes  Thanks man ^^ I was trying to match the concept perspective angle for the overall shapes and then make the translation of the texture style on a more LOL, WOW style.

Cheers!
