Prince of Persia - Retrogasm 2018

Enalya · May 2018

Hi everyone!

For the Retrogasm contest will be making one of my favourite game (characters): Prince of Persia. I've chosen his Shadow and the Flame version, because it looked like great fun to translate to stylized modern version. So far it has been!

This is the first time I'm working on a male. For every project I think about ways to challenge myself, mostly it comes down to learning one or two important things. My goals for this project:

Stylized realism/PBR - Overwatch/Fortnite style
Believable male anatomy in that style

I'll do my best to achieve these

Good luck to all participants!

WIP - sculpting phase

I started with my own male basemesh.

Looking good so far.

My main concern is the face looking to manly for the kid size/young teen style body. Its going to be a good challenge for you to find a nice balance of the head translating into the body, by playing around with the scale of the head, proportions, softness, style etc.

Looking forward to seeing more

I agree with codyaq2, I think his arms are looking a bit short, and his head is big. fortnite and overwatch both have very sharp creases on their clothing, i think you could push that more on your guy's pants.

@codyaq2 You are totally right! Thank you, great feedback.
@Tectonic Good point, I tried to push it more, thanks.

This is a great study for male anatomy!

I pushed him around with liquefy to make some subtle changes. moved his elbow up his arm a bit, made his waistband have an organic dip and rise to it instead of being straight across, narrowed his hips, swooped the back of his vest down a bit.

@Tectonic Thank you so much for taking the time! You're totally right about the elbows and narrower hips, I adjusted these. The waistband dip didn't really work for me, I'm good with it being strapped tightly around him. Appreciated!

I'm looking forward to seeing you finish!

Retopologizing atm, almost done! Surely there are some spots to clean up or give better distribution, feedback is welcome

The bakes came out nice imo. After finishing up the texturing I will make his sword!

I finished Prince in time for the Retrogasm 2018 deadline

I'm proud of this, because I joined very late and made the right decisions to not aim too high with the amount of props and details, while still putting myself up with the right challenges.
