Skeleton Warrior - Ackeem Durrant

Ackeem

Hey Polycount,

Been a member here for many years and I'm finally posting,

This character was originally for the Artstation challenge, like many others I didn't finish but still wanted it for my portfolio so here's the final result.

This is a realtime character created for games. The budget was 100k tris so I went higher than needed for certain areas to keep the shapes clean, in the end it was 79k tris.

there are 3 texture sets; body, main armour/clothing and props.

modelled in Zbrush and Maya, textured in Substance Painter and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.

That's awesome; a character as damaged as your skeleton has no right to be as serene as it is, but you've managed to pull it off with your detail choices and execution. Kudos.

Ackeem

@BoonS thanks man, that was a big part of the aim, having some type of ambiguity in terms of it's nature and not just make a monster, glad it came through!

Incredible job with the character, @Ackeem! I think you completely nailed the look of the concept and made it your own. I really like how that skull face-mask looks. 

It's a super minor thing to mention, but I think your ArtStation link redirects through Facebook before taking us to your project page. It could be much faster if you went directly to the ArtStation link instead.

Glad that you posted, man! Hope to see more of your character work in the future.

@dGreenberg Thanks a lot for mentioning about the link, I had no idea.

working on my next character as we speak, and loving your latest character thread!
