Pallegina mes Rèi - 3D art

DoctorBloup

Hey people, I recently finished a personal project of Pallegina, a character from Pillars of Eternity and I thought I'd share it.
I mainly used Zbrush for the sculpting, as well as Marvelous designer for the clothes. Everything low poly related was done in Maya, baking and rendering was done in Marmoset Toolbag 3 and texturing in Substance Painter.

It was a fun and challenging project to work on and I'm quite happy with the results, but don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it.

You can check the project on artstation for more images and animations! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ba2GQG
Thanks for having a look, have a great day!

I love the presentation of this, it almost looks like a painting.

She looks fantastic! Her face and the feathers bridged together looks so organic. And I love the frizzy hair. Great work.

@gerry91_3D I did a base of the clothes in Marvelous Designer and then exported to zbrush to work on the details. The hair and feathers were done in Xgen on Maya and it's made of handplaced alpha cards. It was a long process but I'm happy with the way it looks in the end

@Nuclear Angel I'm happy you liked it, it kinda was my goal to get a painting "feeling"

@TJ_Works Thank you!!

thanks for the information, I should start learn Marvelous Designer, and improve my skills in Zbrush!
This motivates me to do my next character, maybe Aloth or a Nature Godlike  
Your work is amazing!! look forward to see your next work!!

Beautiful! I love all the contrast and the way the different colors and directions move my eyes around the character. And I don't actually think I've seen a female character wear those style pants before, so that's pretty cool. My only gripe would be that for a little extra contrast, the red fabric (the one in the slits of the coat and pants) could be even more of a different texture than the other clothing - visibly textured or shinier, like silk or coarse wool. It's already a contrasting color, so it would just add some extra texture contrast. I can see a bit of texture on it that might be normal or specular, the fabric grain, so I apologize if you actually did do that already and the lighting just didn't highlight that particular detail. Her hair is gorgeous and the topology is beautifully clean! Definitely a level of work to aspire to

Thank you @jod13 ! Yes you're right, I could have put more contrast on that part and I have to admit that's not the part I spent the most time on. The detail on it is specular if I remember correctly, didnt put any normal except for the baked one, and it could've been stonger.

But I'm really glad you liked it, I really appreciate your comment!

Definitely a nitpick from me, the character looks great!
