Orc Blademaster

El_PIG

I rarely texture. Therefore I'm texturing and struggling with my art-queen standards with this Orc Blademaster:



My unoriginality is based off of this Samwise concept from Warcraft 3:


A more colorful rendition.

Right now I'm getting the skin tidied up & uniform (like the pecs & shoulders). It has gone slow and getting a feel for things hasn't really clicked yet:



So that's the current state of things. I'm trying to light a fire under my ass and hope to update this more often than not.





Yeah... that back looks all wrong...

In my opinion you need to look up some references of back muscles. also you need to lessen the shading so there isn't such pronounced muscles.

hi phill, great work. love'n the texture yur getting. i like a lot of areas of the texture. the arms and sholders look nice. i think you've got some issues with the forms and anatomy. i did a paint-ovar.

I can't comment on the muscles as I always need to look them up myself. I love the wrinkles on his skin and the color tones. I think it's a great reptile like skin base. As a suggestion I would try some kind of overlay layer to get some more variation and some kind of texture on the flat parts of his skin.

Then you have to model Kp's pissed of onion as his familiar.

I like the amount of detail in the texture and while I won't comment on the muscle structure, I'll comment on the shading :P

You want to shade the muscle as if there were a light source somwhere, right now what you have is pretty much a depth map. If you were using a normal map from a high poly model this would be fine but your not. I've attached an image to show what I mean.

This is overdoing it a little but you should get the idea. Also instead of pronouncing each muscle 100%, just put a little pinch around the corners and smooth the rest out. Don't have long creases like on the chest, just put a little bit in the center and feather it out. You can see on your concept where the pinches should be. Hope I'm not overstepping my bounds.
