Character i am building for an Unreal project - still figuring out some parts of the design. Eventually will do the textures in painter with Material Blending from Unreal like in Paragon.
Any feedback is much appreciated

If i need to criticize something... the hands and the belt lack of details compared to the rest of the design, but probably it´s because it´s not finished the highpoly right?
It´s based on some reference?
Are you working from a reference? If you're not working from a specific reference I would suggest emphasizing the silhouette a bit more to really push it.
Either way, looking forward to seeing more!
@Koromo those parts were and are still not finished.
@Tobbo No just the usual inpirational stuff from pintrest and other fantasy knight stuff, but no concept or concrete reference. - i am still thinking about pouldrons and i hope that the cloth will break it up enough.
I did a simple head sculp for now and continued with some armor pieces and added bases for the cloth.
I feel the stubble could use some work, either make the transition softer or make the edge more jagged/interesting.
also the lips have way more detail and a more realistic look then the rest of the character, I would try simplifying them a bit if i where you
very awesome knight you made here! I love the cartoony sculpting style that you used, looks wowish.
What matcap are you using for the armor??
I did not have much time to continue this but i added pauldrons and changed the cape accordingly, totally agree with you @eazy i will also think about the direction on the gloves. i am not happy with them right now too.
@Basti i did simple block out meshes in blender which i then just dynamesh an go from there, some details i do with panel loop extraction other i do with the chinsel brush.
@Caiterade yea the belt is still placeholder, i am still trying to come up with a cool design.
@Naibaf99 that new one in r8 metal shiny i think the name is.
Next week i have holiday so i hope i can finish this up or at least start baking it.
Have you thought about fixing the camera like Pillars of Eternity, Dota, LOL and so on so you can really go to town on what is in the camera view.
@Ged yea lighting setup is still chaos xD, gameplay wise ...yea cant promise anything soon. i make this game with one friend, he does all the code, i do all the art ....and i had recorded some slopy gameplay of me running around and he thought we should do it right...so we will make some proper gameplay showcase vid.
@RustySpannerz yea i will try to tweak it... also it should read as gold in the end xD...
@littleclaude it is a fixed camera on the character, but i only try to give things a general bevel and try to have alot of surface area towards the top, so things look chunky from the top view.- but i dont do any hardcore perpective adjustments for the props because i want to be able to rotate things and so on, to save on workload by reusing stuff like crazy xD
i started work on a new character our so called first bot/enemy which is a generic skeleton worrier
Working on a top down game myself but have been more focused on the environmental art. Looking forward to character creation when I get to that bridge
So i finally got some work done on the skeleton just need some more polish and i will move on to lowpoly phase.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers
You can take a look at some early gameplay here
Last few weeks i was mainly working on level assets some of them you can see in the screenshots.It is still WIP many dressing things still missing
This time i spent most of my time cleaning up shaders and stuff, but i finally made a proper water shader and improved on lighting the scene a bit better i think. I created some new rubble doodads too and a sand/beach texture.
Tell me what you think about the new lighting!
Cheers Next
We will use some of those shots for spectator camera positions
And then I would suggest tinting each brick a slightly different color/tone. You can do this using material id if your color is currently determined in the shader. Or just straight into the basecolor if your doing things that way.
Also thanks for the highlight dear mods!
i made a few quick zbrush renders of the ruin highpolies, it is all done with unique tileable models which can be stitched perfectly together as lowpolies. The wood planksare done the same way with tileable caps and center pieces so they can be mixed and matched too.
This time i have a Level Walkthrough for you hope you like it
