Joblo

Hi everyone ! This is my first try to this competition :poly121: My character is gonna be a norm using the force of nature as magic. I want him to look like a giant ogre .. right now i am playing around with the base mesh ! i have a basic sketch that im gonna show u i might come back on the sketch a bit cause the shape are too much simple I will post more stuff soon and good luck to everyone !!!! comment are welcome !!!

WarNoodle

Look good man! Look forward to seeing more.

jim_sam

Nice job !!!

Il prefer the second one !!!
keep going mister and enjoy !!
I look forward to seeing your 3d

Joblo

I have been working on my base mesh so here what i have done so far ! I did the head whit a very basic mesh then a work it in zbrush and i get my step 3 inside max after this im gonna doo a retopo to have a clean mesh ! any comments and crits are welcome

Yozora

I preferred the short stubby concept instead of this more human proportioned model.

I also think the middle horn on his forehead should be angled slightly forward (but not pointing forwards, since it curves and it will end up pointing backwards)

jim_sam

Your concept was great but I prefer your mesh!
Really nice shape dude !

look forward to seeing more!

Joblo

Cool thtx for the comments its might be the legs that give my model a human feeling ? im gonna check out what i can do to fix that !

Joblo

Hey I posted a update of my basemesh im gonna make my Uv then I go to Zbrush !! crits and comments welcome !!!

AimBiZ

The sketches has much much more feeling in them imo.

Also you have alot of triangles in your basemesh which I wouldn't recommend. I haven't tried with lots of triangles myself but from what I've heard it will cause you truble with deforming those areas. I could also guess the distribution of verticies might get a bit uneven in those areas.

What are you going to use the UV's for?

Joblo

For the triangle I dont think it too bad the mesh isnt gonna be animated annyway its only gonna have a pose ! Im using Uv layout for unwraping ! The sketches has much much more feeling in the imo . what exactly cause you this feeling the proportion maybe my model could use more accessory ? thx for your comments !!!

Xaltar

Legs are too long and thin compared to the concept and the belly needs more roundness. Love the concept, try and get your base closer to the same proportions and scale. As it is the base looks like it would be the size a man while the concept is more the size of a fantasy dwarf. Size in 3d is determined by proportion. Large head, stubby limbs and squat stance.

Joblo

yep that true I must agree whit you ! Im gonna do these changes right now, wont be too long to make. thx a lot its a nice crits !!!

Joblo

I did the some modification updated on the last screenshot hope it look better now

jim_sam

Wow !! Nice mesh

it could be interesting if you grow a little belly so that it falls on the pelvis a bit.

looking foward to see more

AimBiZ

Much better! Did you solve the triangles?

Joblo

No I didtn I dont think I will have the time to fix them how much time left ?

Joblo

hey guys posting a update I just want to know what do you think about a cornemuse as a weapon !!!I find it funny :poly136: :thumbdown: :thumbup: ???

Ashleigh

This looks really awesome, hope some souls come out of that instrument when he plays it! Looking forward to watching you progress.

Joblo

thx !!! I like the idea of the soul hehe !

Joblo

Hey just a little WIP of my zbrush work ! Still have a lot of job to do








Hope you like it , crits and comments are welcome !

Ashleigh

This is looking pretty damn hot, I am really digging the face most especially the nose. The hands look pretty sweet too, can we get a close-up on those?!

Xaltar

Off to a great start with the sculpt. The face is looking sweet.

ThatDon

I would suggest making the cracks/scratches in the horns deeper so they stand out further away.

Parnell

Wow...just wow.
What are the chances eh?

Parnell .... I dont know what to say lol ! at first I wanted to make a guitar.. then I saw someone else did the same so I tough about the cornemuse and I told to myself no one gonna think of that mouahahahaha ... is it possible to do something original ?!?!?!?!

Joblo

jim_sam

VERY NICE JOB !!!
Good start in Zbrush !!

Joblo

Joblo

55joe

jim_sam

Nice men !!

Nice texture start !!!
Looking foward to see the dynamique pose on this model !!

Joblo

hey thx a lot ! yes its my low rez version whit a basic scanline render ! Im still on the texture next week ill begin the pause and presentation :thumbup:

Joblo

new update :poly122:

NyneDown

Nice man....I really like it. You should consider giving it more color to break up all of the browns. Looking forward to the updates

r4ptur3

ya man -- if you hit just one piece with a real in-your-face color (maybe some green to compliment the red beard?) it'll really pop. nice work all around

BC3D

I agree with r4ptur3 about getting some color in. Maybe the whole jacket would be a good candidate, minus the trim on it... I like the warm colors from your lighting seeping into the model....

Joblo

Yes I agree with you guys ! Im gonna do some color test this weekend and show you after ! thx for the comments its really help :thumbup::):)

Mark Dygert

Awesome work! I was tossed up until you busted out the crazy zbrush skills, really great sculpting!

Gotta rig it up and pose him, so much character packed into it already, just need to work a great pose in there to push it the last little bit.

Ged

this latest render really shows off the beautiful colours and normal map, classic fantasy style

Joblo

Hey guys this weekend i have been working on the colour ! what do you think ?????? is it better :poly136:

and by the way thanks for the comments I appreciate a lot :poly124:

Joblo

a more recent one !

haZe

Love the style, vibrant colors. :thumbup:

Might just be me, but the violet is setting me off a bit. r4pture had a good point with the green, as it seems to match well next to the logo. Just thoughts.

Do like!

Joblo

thx man ! yeah the green seems to work nicely on my character thx r4pature ;( maybe im gonna make some green glowing spot on him I dont know ... for the violet I dont know I have been watching him for too long I cant see what fit for him lol ! I could try whit a blue tint maybe ? finding colors is my weakness ...

fei-rukawa

he's very cool!
hey there's something weird on his feet, like two toes stuck together?

engelik

cool style!

the texture is pretty cool
maybe you could make the green of the bracelet (im not sure if the right word) a bit more saturated

Joblo

yeah im gonna try to do someting a bout those toes maybe put a little occlusion between will help. im gonna try the green on the bracer this weekend . here a other shot




thx for the comments

Joblo

here a quick shot of my pause not final im not sure I might change the pedestal...

Ged

the shadows look a bit black in this last render

rollin

the shadows on the skin are too black and too much indeed

Joblo

yeah you guys are right !! I think its because I amplified my normal map a bit too much

Joblo

Here my final shot . Hope you like it !!!
