Gargoyle and Shield Statue : Prop (WIP)

KW_Arts

Just a quick work in progress showcase of a new prop that I will be focusing on over the next month or so! This will be completely modelled in Zbrush, then brought into Maya for retopology and UV adjustments and then finally brought into Unreal/Marmoset for final renders and set dressing with some Quixel materials and plants. This will be a game ready prop so efficiency will be focused on! 

This is after a 3-4 days of work. just getting the base shapes and forms down using dynamesh and sculptris pro and then a Zremesh to create a nice low poly topology to then switch over to a subdivision workflow.

Any feedback/critique is always welcomed and appreciated and furthermore, if you have any questions about the work or even the workflow then feel free to ask!  



And here is the reference images that I am using :

Thank you! Would love to get your feedback later on as this progresses. I checked out your art station and that is some seriously awesome work man so I would love some advice from you in the future

Week two of working on this prop. I added the medium forms and adjusted the silhouette and expression further to match the original source reference more accurately.

Let me know what you think

Ashervisalis

Aw thanks man. Keep it up, you don't need any crit from me currently, you're rocking it.

Just another update for you guys! The sculpt is coming to an end now, just going through and polishing the model, adding some smaller details and edgewear for that extra character

As always, feedback is welcomed!

Here is the low poly in zbrush as well, ready for quad draw topology in Maya!

Its been a little while but here are the most recent updates to the Gargoyle statue! The final few weeks are tedious as its a lot of clean-up, polish and efficiency so there was less visual updates to show!

As always, please let me know what you think

That looks super dope man! Is this the final render? If so, I feel you could do a little bit better than a grey background.

Technically not a Gargoyle unless it directs water from a building, it would be a grotesque.

No no don't worry that's not the final renders, those are just screen grabs from substance. I will be importing this into Unreal and Marmoset as well with a 3-point light set up to get some much nicer renders

I just looked it up and... I never knew that!
A bit pedantic of course as gargoyle's are still grotesques but maybe I should rename it as it doesn't have a water spout haha!
