[FINISHED] Hammer of Jehammed - Realtime Character

ppziel

Hey guys, for some time i'm working on my new character under nimlot's guidance. Concept by Marko Djurdjevic https://www.pinterest.es/pin/548172585896088133/ . For now im starting to finish the blockout stage so feel free to drop some CC because at this point everything can be modified. Face will be different this is just a base and fur ofc will be proper hair cards when the time will come

looking good

Torch

My only regret is the lack of reflection on those eyes, otherwise it looks amazing! Great job so far mate.

This is looking really nice!  I might give him a slightly more neutral or aggressive expression given his outfit.  I mean, unless u want him to look happy I guess.  Kinda doesn't fit the character design.

thanks satoshi ! yeah i have that feeling as well that is looking to kind for the whole character design i will work on the expression but want to put a bird first i guess because it can change quite a lot i feel

long time since last update, during this time i worked a lot more on the likeness and i got to a point where i am happy enought to start with beard and hair. Probably i will change some more stuff on the face but i hope those wont be major proportions changes :P



and beard at a current stage

ppziel

Hey, a lot has changed since the last update so take a look and let me know what u think

Aydhe

Looks good man, his face still looks bit too kind though. I wonder if maybe you should go back and tweak his skin a little bit to give him more aged/damaged skin look? That may help pushing it bit closer to concept?

André_SiK

Nice hair man, congrats

thanks man !

The hair looks amazing. Could you please show us how you managed your texture. Did you place hair cards by hands ?

jose.fuentes

looking good, IMO your skin is till lacking bit of love when it comes to your shader, you're real close tho

ppziel

sure this is the albedo for hair and beard(I had to zoom it out in ps so some strands have wholes on them but normally they are continuous). yes, I did place them buy hand binding a strap into a curve with path deform in max. about the shader yes a agree I will work more on it for sure I also had lights set up kind of wrong during those screens witch caused losing a lot of specular from it 

ppziel

some sneak peek of the textures I'm working on :P

Eric Chadwick

<squints> open a window or something, it's really dark in here!

ppziel

haha yeah i know it is, it was supposed to be dark so u will see only a few things for now but i might overdid the darkness aspect little bit
 

ppziel

Hey finally managed to finish this one, take a look and please check my artstation for more shots

Alander787

Really nice, love the quality and detail! His face reminds me of Viggo Mortensen

EDIT: I just read that you used his face as a reference.

ppziel

thanks Alander !

JoeXLegacy
