Some studies for the character version that wearing the armour and stave, the class is Invoker, i'm trying various forms and races, like humans and daemons, i will try to make an undead ver and a sort of magical costruct like a golem, comments are welcome

I focus my attention on demonic version, some variations of head concept.
On top of the head's carapace i put a human's face skin attached with some chains.

A ist interesting

and welcome here on board !!

gZero

hi rollin, thanks for reply, nice to meet you
yes A is the most interesting, i draw the rest of the body, but i'm not sure, it's very "giger style" lol
i want to graft a human body into the chest of the creature,
with the lament of human soul the deamon can create a magic distortion field from the tube on the back, to destroy anything.

another upgrade, i've detailed some part of demon, and draw a little explanation for the human nested into the chest, i'm not very sure about head concept and tube on the back, any comments?

You have a lot of cool ideas here. Just a quick thought, I think it would be cool if you could use the three deamons sketch. You could create some kind of creature that was in place of the crystal with the 3 little demons welded into him. Like a trip through a warp portal gone bad kind of idea.

gZero

Hi!, yeah is not a bad idea the 3 demons welded, i try to draw something, thanks for reply
Looking other works i've seen much creature that bear artifatcs, and i try to think the inverse, an artifact that carring the owner, like the crystal with the keeper, i've choose to eliminate the sketch with 3 creatures because i'm not very sure to respect the count of 9000 tris, but i like the idea of 2 little minions that follow the crystal and help the keeper during the fight.

gZero

hi, update on the top, with blueprints and 3d modelsheets.

gZero

Hi guys, update with texturing of keeper, now i'm making texture for the crystal, comments are welcome, thanks, see you!

BradMyers82

looking pretty cool. Did you do a high poly? Is he normal mapped? I'm not quite sure how you got to this point...

gZero

the model have only texture, when i finish with texturing i will use zbrush to make an high poly model to get normal map.

gZero

Update with rendering of crystal with glow effect

BradMyers82

The crystal looks sweet. I have never really seen anyone with the workflow of doing the high poly and normal map after the final low poly and diffuse map; but I will be interested to hear how that works out. Be sure to keep us posted...

gZero

hi, some update with final entry shots.

here an example for the costruction shot.



for the beauty shot i've choose to make an illustration with character and background.



for the winning pose i have some trouble with resolution, i want to show keeper and crystal in a good pose, like the exapmple below, but it seems too small, just my impression?



comments are welcome, thanks!
