[WIP] Thor (Infinity War)

RabidRabit

I started blocking this guy over my mornings this week. I've had a few interesting years in the industry and after the relative stability I had been experiencing was finally tested I realized most of my Character work was under NDA and my portfolio did not properly represent my current skill set. Now begins the production cycle of personal projects! 



Concept by Hicham Habchi

Bit of an update from this morning. Tried to get the face to line up a bit closer to the concept. The low lip/chin/ angle of the moustache are the reg flags I still see. Maybe also elongating the barrel of the mouth?

Very nice! Love the stylization!

Some work from the weekend. Began breaking up the hair and torso armor into their smaller components. Everything is still a bit "wobbly" at the moment but I'll coming back to start working on refining the shapes once its all split out.

This is looking very promising! Feels like the nose is too flat from the side, even with stylization? Can't wait to see more!

Thanks!

I'll keep that nose thing in mind for sure. I've brought the model a bit further and started remeshing all the panels, I'm thinking my next post will be when I have all the armor and garments clean and sorted out, kind of a final "pre-detail" phase. I stumbled upon a fun workflow with polygroup by paint which is getting me some really nice clean topology work with, think I'll also put together a little "how to" on that if people are interested.

Been progressively working through and getting all the plates in a state where they have nice low poly topology that can easily be modified and subdivided. I also started working on the Stormbreaker Axe head over my lunch today:

Making more progress. Kinda got in the weeds on the boots and the weird dinner/serving plates I have taped to his forearms for literally no reason, Going to retry those so they look like actual armor lol

Adjusted a bunch of the proportions after getting some feedback and finally made a pass on the axe. I can now go back to cleaning up and refining things in peace haha.
