[WIP] Hand Painted Texture Practice - Old tutorial, funky take

rel

As part of a class I'm following Tyson Murphy's magnum opus hand painted texture tutorial, but wanted to give it a funky spin so it's not just the usual sword and shield flooding the message boards. Say hello to the beginnings of what I hope will be an epic breakfast set instead! 



That's not the best of screenshots... but you can see the original concept art on the image plane, and where I'm at so far with some modeling/uving. I'll post a MUUUUCH better shot once I'm done UVing and have everything dressed! Hopefully you can tell that I'm going for a spoon and a cereal bowl instead of the sword and shield. I'm modeling trying to keep the same elements carried over and will be texturing pretty close to the concept art. 

Hand painted texturing is hard, I tend to overthink and get way too bogged down with details so as I post more please please please feel free to comment/critique/ridicule when needed! Thanks all, and happy arting!

Below are the completed models. I'm really excited to start texturing this! Metal is my handpainted kryptonite so I'm looking forward to bringing the shine! I'm trying to keep similar shape language to the original concept in order to keep a heavy nod to that direction, as I start painting I'll see if there's more I can add to the model to better reference Tyson Murphy's concept.

Cool idea! Looking forward to seeing this. I'm also working on my hand painted textures so any tips are much appreciated

Thank you @LeahM! Your art is amazing!

Progress today! Left is in Maya unlit, right is texture painting. I'm noticing my modeling of the gold pieces isn't helping me out much, I'm losing all the painting happening in the overlapping areas. I'll see if I can fix that up some! Any comments or critiques as I work through these textures are both welcome and appreciated

Not sure on the pot marks in the silver. Reads really odd to me, coming along nicely though!

Thanks @BucketOfNuggets! I agree and I've toned that down a bit

Progress for the moment! I'm calling the spoon mostly done after some reproportioning and further texturing. Far from done done, but done enough to move onto the bowl in order to start unifying things Looking forward to coming back to the spoon to tighten up some more details and move the color around a bit more! For now I need to get some work done on the bowl.

Hey, this is a fun take on the tutorial! Looking forward to see the full scene.

good, this is so much better practice than just strictly following the concept.

Remember your color transitions in the gold, use reference and just keep going. Use those circle chip details more sparingly. try not to over-blend. make some confident strokes and move on, come back to that area in 5 minutes once your eyes forget about it. (that's a personal trick of mine).

most important: finish the project.

Looking Good! Not sure about the blue bit that connects the spoon and the handle though, looks a bit out of place, maybe needs a different shape? it could be just me though
