Hi everyone!
I realised I hadn't been posting my updates to my Retrogasm entry here, so I will make a thread to post my progress. I am creating the main character from the PS1 game, Digimon World. Brilliant game that 100% needs remaking! You can see how the original character looked in the images below.
I initially began with a concept piece, but I didn't stick to it as I received feedback saying that people preferred to see the anatomy from the original Digimon TV show.

Original Anatomy
After changing up the anatomy, I too preferred the new proportions:

Here is my sculpt so far in it's current stage. I have a couple more things to add to it, and then I am done with the sculpt. Most of the detail will be done in Substance Painter later on, so I am leaving the sculpt quite clean.

WIP Sculpt
Below is my mood board with my full scene idea, although a lot has changed since I made this (like the clothing style for example). Sure hope I have time to do it all!

Alrighty, that's about it for updates for now. I will be away for a week next week, and I will resume with the model after that.

Most of the fabric detail can easily be done in Substance, but I did the hat in Zbrush as it was the best way I could think of doing it to get nicer results later on.
He is retopo'd now, and I have begun to work on his materials. The eyes will be done in another software so ignore those for now haha. I have also just put a flat colour for the skin currently.

Also, a material test for Greymon on one of my existing models. I am just figuring out how I want his skin to look. I think I will make the brown bit more like a beetle shell.
I've finished my models now and created a video for them. I really wanted to convey a sense of nostalgia in the showcase video for the models. Something a little melancholic perhaps. Audio must be on to enjoy this fully! Music by Eluukkanen on Youtube, used with permission.
