Cyberpunk char

LATEST:



Hey, haven't posted on here in forever. Been working on this char in my spare time, mostly to practice some stuff i'm bad at (hair, marvelous designer, detailing, actually finishing something).

Hair is still first pass (needs more shaping cards, and a proper breakup layer and fly aways). Kindof been going at it piece by piece to get used to new marmo... probably why the design isn't working at all now x_x

Design help would be really cool, specifically on the torso area... messing around in zbrush atm, trying out a more mechy sci fi approach.

So, in your head, what is cyberpunk about the character?

I am admittedly not literally seeing anything yet alluding to the idea. Not to say a non bionic adjusted person CAN'T exist in Cyberpunk land.

Nizza_waaarg

Honestly not much at this point, just my original idea for the char (and maybe the marm lighting). Has moved more to just a modern street wear look atm, probably should've come up with a more accurate thread title.

Brian "Panda" Choi

You can totally change it the title thread if you wanted to something more interesting and precise.  It's in the Edit options.

Popol

Hey, it's great to see you post some art on Polycount again!

Bah, people are so hung up on words, I'm looking forward to see where you are taking this cyberpunk gal considering the great quality of the work you used to post here back in 2011.

Looks pretty dang super atm. The proportions look spot on. You said you are still busy with the hair. I really love the strand definition you have going on. I am struggling with this on my own project. Are you combining a normal map with the shader? I am also a big fan of a bluish spec on black hair.
Real nice work!

Torch

Love it, really nice work so far. First render is boss!

brian: if i think of something better than just "character" for a thread title, i'll change it up
Popol: thanks dude ^^ this site is so different from before, glad people are still around here
kanga: thank you. I still suck at hair, and it takes forever... Going with that adam skutt style workflow, just means hand placing alot of hair cards
Torch: eeyyy, thanks man

Kindof an update not really, gonna try going in this direction and see how it ends up.
Also sketched up mech things i wanna keep working on (more on theme of cyberpunk maybe). If anyone knows the original artist on that cool full mech guy in the pic, would be awesome to find out who did it. Fightpunch ref on the helmets.

Teeny update, gotta improve my MD to zb workflow... lots of sculpting to get through.

Ymed_Omri

your work is really cool!

Nizza_waaarg

Ymed: thank you

Not much of an update, sculpting everything out is taking forever. Did do some quick pose tests in zbrush to test out in marmo though... think it works alright.
Back to never ending cloth sculpting for now.

Oh man, this is looking wonderful! I can't wait to see more.
As for who made that design, it could be a number of concept artists i adore. a few that come to mind are 
Josan Gonzalez
Tano Bonfanti
Elijah Mcneal

bkost: thank you

Yooo been so slow getting back into it after holidays n being away. Finally got the low poly more or less done. And tried out marmosets baker (is awesome), and slapped some base cols and vague roughness values in.
And been messing with poses, still not sure on final pose and render/lighting setup.

Nizza_waaarg

Messed with lighting a lil more... gonn finish the meshes n do the textures finally

Nizza_waaarg

Testing some funky lighting n whatever... when all the pics look the same, probably means i'm procrastinating... proper texturing and little more hair tweaking tomorrow then moving on.

Nizza_waaarg

Finally got some textures on, and tried getting some better final shots... gonna sit on these for a few days, see how i feel after a bit. New chars to work on in the meantime.

This character is dope! How did you manage to bake the outer jacket in that pose? Or did you temporarily bake it in a T pose then rearrange it after?

Nizza_waaarg

JustinT: Thank you I slightly nudged the arms up for baking, still turned out surprisingly clean for how smooshed the underarm area was.

Popol

Damn, I really love the folds you got on that jacket! The only part that still needs polishing would be the hair so that they match the quality of the rest of the character.

Isunoj

For me the composition refers to the Cyberpunk universe, especially the lighting. Regardless of whether it has Cyberpunk elements or not, the model is very beautiful.

Looking pretty good!  The sweater and jacket feel very oversized.  Not sure if that was the intention.  Can't tell for sure but the AO on the jacket feels a bit heavy in some shots.  The hair needs the most work IMO.  I can see the cards too easily...def needs more breakup with thinner cards and more flyaways.

The clothes look so good!
