[WIP] Giant Warrior

hwaminjung

Hello guys, my name is Hwa-Min, and I am trying to be a char artist. I was always kinda hesitant joining large communities but I decided there's nothing really to worry about, so I made an account
I wanted to show my newest project very early on, to get more eyes on it and receive feedback as early as possible. I think it will be nice to look at the progression once I'm done.

Here's what I have so far, the main goal will be to have a game ready character, with the artstyle being "stylized realism". I think references that would be close will be something like the new Diablo game, or maybe the Total War Warhammer series.
These are some of the sketches I did to get an idea for the character.
I would genuinely appreciate any critique I can get, especially down the like when things start getting more technical in Zbrush. I'm mostly self taught, so I'm sure there are a lot of features/techniques I don't know about that would really help me get my 3d sculpts to the next level.

Its has very weird proportion will be hard to make it work so I suggest to try bunch of variants

One possible below

If you think about to be able to move his long arms he will need at least big delts and pecs + huge scapula

I was trying to push the proportions to get a creepy look, but your critique is definitely valid, especially thinking of body mechanics. Thank you very much! I will make some variants like you suggested, and see which ones work

hwaminjung

Just a small update. I have adjusted the proportions a bit (delts properly connected, bigger lats, slightly bigger head and pecs), I think for the better! So thank you again carvuliero! Started adding a little bit more detail too on the body.
Also thought in more detail about how the secondary detail will look.

looks very good so far  
i love that you do some paintovers before you start sculpting saves so much time!
as for the proportions, i like how they are right now, i think if you push them more in the direction @carvuliero
is suggesting, it looks to much of a "normal" human anatomy. i think it looks better the way it is now

new update. Need to hurry up and do the feet
I did play around with the proportions (in 2d), but honestly I am really liking what I had from the start

hwaminjung

Small update from what I had.

First pass on textures. I tried a UDIM texture pipeline, but I seem to be having troubles getting it to work in other programs like Marmoset. I believe it doesn't support UDIMS yet? I will have to change it back later on.

Almost done, just need to get lighting to something I like more.

Very cool ! Did you use substance painter to texture it ? How did you tackle the texturing ?

Yep! I used Substance Painter. For baking the highpoly information, I used Marmoset Toolbag, as I was getting some seam issues from the bake in Substance, but usually Substance can handle that pretty well.
Texturing is mostly procedural in Substance, so if you take your time you can get good results.

I'll definitively check this out I used to work with substance designer a long time ago. Never tried substance painter actually.
