DWIV - 3D - Pixelgoat

PixelGoat

Guess it´s time to start my entry aswell! I don´t have a concept as I am a stubborn fool who never learns from my mistakes. But I am doing a Norm Warlord, heavily inspired by the Diablo 3 Barbarian concepts.

Here´s the basemesh I created, tried a new technique when modelling this, I basically extruded the major musclegroups outward slightly, then smoothed the extrusion. I like the result and I fould it gave me more control over my sculpt than a "regular" basemesh would have done.



And here´s where I am with the sculpting atm, as you can see I havent really touched the hamstrings, buttocks and lower legs yet.

Hey sup? This is gonna kickass! GL

Not much to say yet other than: I'll be pasting one eye to this thread. It better be worth it

Cool work, slightly thicker fingers will help his barbarian/warlord persona fill in.

Steve Schulze

Throwing caution to the wind and leaping into the fray without any concepts to cushion your fall?
Brave or foolish?

PixelGoat

Foolish

Tackled the front of the legs some more at lunch.

Very rough blockout of what the armor might look like.

Carl Brannstrom

That's what I call a Warlord!

We need more Swedish steel in this competition:)

Here´s where the body is at, without the armor. Still need to work on the hamstringsm hands and forearms. Not sure if I will bother with the calfs, since they will be inside some bigass boots anyway. Crits on the anatomy are more than welcome, I'm in this to learn!

Belltann

Yup this is going to be great

PixelGoat

Started adding some armor pieces



and yes, those are wolverine claws! I wanted to see how they would look, and I think I will keep them on atleast one hand, good addition to the rest of his arsenal

Muzzoid

Looking kickass, though im a bit curious as to why you arent trying to concept something a little more interesting that bulky dude with wolverine claws?

PixelGoat

Simply because I like bulky dudes with wolverine claws I tried doing something more "original" last year and that didnt work to well. So this year I'm doing something simple that I enjoy doing instead, and can focus on polishing the entry.

Snefer

Im with Pixelgoat on this one, everyone is trying so hard to be original, we try really hard to be awesome instead, haha Random straps on hands = cool.

The shadows on the rivets in his crotch make them look like tiny hearts. Not cool, dude ^^

Muzzoid

i personally think it is a waste to not try and create something original, but hey that is just me and my artistic arrogance .

Good luck and i hope you have alot of fun making it.

notebookguy

Looks like the sculpt can make or break this model.

PixelGoat

First Zbrush testpass

Snefer

I say the sculpt will make it Good work sofar ^^

VikingJim

dang, if the armor comes out half as good as the anatomy this is going to decimate.

rooster
