The Necromancer - Retrogasm 2018
"My commands shall echo forever in their dusty skulls."
Finally finished! This is my entry for Retrogasm 2018. This guy is from Lost Kingdoms on Game Cube, a game I used to play all the time as a kid. The necromancer always stood out to me since he was the first serious boss fight in the game, and also terrified 10 year old me.
I wanted to do a hand painted/ Darksiders feel to give it a more lively and striking look than the original game had, and I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. Learned a TON about Marmoset and Painter during this project. I loved seeing all the great models that the other artists made this year, and I'm already excited for next year!
Sculpt and initial paint done in Zbrush, retopo/UV's in Maya, final texturing in Substance Painter/Photoshop, posed in Zbrush, rendered in Marmoset Toolbag, and final presentation shots comped in Photoshop.
