Little Devil - Texturing WIP

Levus

Yo!

I need some advice with texturing this guy.
I don't have any concept, it's absolutelly freestyle, so I'm lost a little...
Any c&c are welcome!

viewport shot:


scanline render:

Mark Dygert

That kicks ass!

The purple scales on the left arm don't blend into the chest very well, the seam is kind of abrupt.

The armor (and model in general) is kind of clean and looks to be ready for a dirt pass, provided the other parts are in order, construction, UV layout ect.

Dirt, scratches, and char/burn marks would be great.

Looks great loving it so far!

Davision3D

Looks very good to me!
I dont like the very high black and yellow contrast on the armor it distracts a lot from your very nice detailed skin texture. At first i thought that brown cloth/armor would be leather but after a closer look it could be also rusted metal.

Looking really nice, agree with Vig about his considerations, that pierced bone at his nose could be little smaller and i think you could change the specular map to blend better with the character, the ear is a bit too red and his scars need more details and a little dirt here and there will be nice too. btw great work.

the pentagram on the forehead looks a bit off to me. Maybe make it a tattoo, scar, or the result of a branding. Just some thoughts

Levus

Thx for feedback!

Some upgrades done.
ue3 this time, too much intensive emissive in eyes, I know:p

BoBo_the_seal

That is looking really nice! I love that last in-engine shot.

BoBo, thx for comment, it's nice to read that:)

Next step, new face expression, and some minor upgrades (nails, belt, leather etx).
Any comment are really welcome.

Max viewport, no lights, no mipmaping:

Joopson

why do evil creatures always have nipple rings? :-D

DLoud

very cool looking. Nice changes to the texture work. Love the red cloth/shoulders. I think it looks a little more cohesive that way.

Thegodzero

"why do evil creatures always have nipple rings?"

I think you got that backwards.
Its, why do nipple rings always have evil creatures attached to them.

I liked the old leather color more.

IronHawk

I agree with thegodzero the black and gold looked better.

Stubbs

Nice. Looks really cool.

imb3nt

Thats badass.

Levus

Thanks for comments, I appreciate!

Nipple rings are cool:p
About color theme...Will see whats the final;)

A "new feature";)
Quick posing in zbrush (so there are a lot of bugs..) to check how its look with "new feature".
11500 triangles with swords. 2 lights.

BLUE LIGHTS OF DOOOMMMM!

Ha ha, man I love this character man, you're doing an awesome job with it... and even though I love blue lights, maybe its a bit over blown :P

keep it up Levus

{scumworks}

Looks awesome!

Not sure about the shoulders. In a way I like em, but the face already have alot of details. If they where angled a lil lower you'll still notice em, but they wouldnt steal attention from other details.

Donno, either way its good ¨

Levus

Thanks for comment guys!:)

Swords are without any color maps. Normal & occlusion only right now.
About shoulder, I do not expect any tweaks with model shape, I've done with it. Its very old, so I have tired with it, and the next concept are waiting for me..
Just wanna finish texturing with some good effects.

Anyway, {scumworks}, your comment about shoulders and face, and detailing dependencies is very valuable, I will keep it in my mind;)

Cheers!

Levus

Some update with swords.
Model is with selfilumination=0 rigth now, lighted with 3 lights..

Any c&c are very welcome!


And fun renders:
scanline:

mental:

Zephir62

I think the polycount is a bit overkill for the detail on this sucker. Otherwise the texture work is pretty awesome

Cryocat

ha! I love him! he's so cuddly!
love the transition you have between scaley skin and smooth /w color change.

konstruct

purtay snazzy= your presentation is nice too.

I feel if you hit it with a back light and a complimentary color scheme (slight blue in back, and slight orange in front) you`ed get more of a dramatic effect. although that look is a bit cliche these days so maybe to yellow and purple or red and green :P make sure to play out your shadow core

Lee3dee

you teased him in UT3, at least make him a playable character

Levus

Zephir62 -> maybe a little:p Thx!
Cryocat -> Thx!
konstruct -> Thx for the tip, I appreciate!
Lee3dee -> I dont know that much ue3, and have no time for gettin into in right now:/

up with the sword:

LEViATHAN

Swords need more blood. :>

JohnnyRaptor

only thing i could say is it doesnt look like hes really holding the swords
