This guy started as a late night doodle. I'm really happy with a lot of the shapes so Ill keep pushing him and see where it goes.

I love the stylization of the proportions. I'm excited to see where this is going!

Asura · Oct 2018

Thanks @EricElwell

. Did some more stuff on it last night on discord. Ill be sure to post some progress shots

Asura · Oct 2018

Asura · Nov 2018

Some progress shots from the past few nights. The lowpoly for the gear is almost done but I'm taking some time to establish a color scheme with this guy. Its also my excuse to jump into texturing right away :P

Torch · Nov 2018

That last piece is really nice, very strong.

Caio.Perez · Nov 2018

The last one is super cool, love the shapes! Looks solid!

dGreenberg · Dec 2018

I'm glad I saw the most recent character on the front page, @Asura! I'm really digging his stylized look and anatomy. The reddish skin and blue highlights on his helmet also really pop with the character, and I'm sure bringing in any new accessories will continue to add to the piece. Really awesome job, and I can't wait to see where you take him!

Asura · Dec 2018

Finished putting this guy together! Pretty happy with the result.

Picking this guy back up and starting on hair. I just tackled the main dreads for now. I'll be going back in and adding transitions from the haircap to the base of the tubes.

I'm looking for someone to make some fantasy characters for me that I will be using in a game I am creating. And this realistic style is exactly what I am looking for. Are you available for that, or do you know anyone who is?
