Baal - Lord of Destruction

JacqueChoi

Well, here's my Comicon Challenge Entry

Went with 100% hand-painted diffuse.







Lemme know what you think!

metalliandy

Wow very nice work

Thegodzero

Very nice! Lots of nice little details, while still maintaining the bigger picture. Well done!

Shogun3d

Nice work m8 that's some talented texturing right there. Almost thought it was concept at first haha.

Zotter

damn that's some really nice texture work, the fact that it's all hand painted diffuse makes it all the more awesome!

It'll be cool to see what the bottom half since it doesn't seem that he's just a biped.

martinszeme

Love it. Looks like a drawing at the first glance. Texturing is top notch, everything is balanced. One thing I would change is that reddish fur around his chest etc. Don't know about that fallowf to black and the color of itself. Maybe a bit of variation of color there would looke better.
Still that's just nitpicking.
Could you please show the model so its legs are visible?

torontoanimator

think we could see a wireframe? it looks nice, but to me it kind of looks like a painted picture and id really love to see how you modelled it

AnimeAngel

very nice work, love the hand painted looks. Would like to see more of his apparently crazy legs. They seem like a major element of his form but we can't see them.

JacqueChoi

Thanks guys!

Here's the wireframe and fullbody

Zotter

*now seeing it at full height* damn that's a tall mofo, not gonna mess with him . Once again, great work, your painting skills are awesome if they can carry all the weight of the diffuse and the spec and everything else in one map.

It looks like a Baal that you'd see in the upcoming game Borderlands ! My only critique is that his legs are a bit too long. I understand you created a bit of a stylized version of Baal, but the legs are so large that when you try to show them you lose all the beautiful work you did on his torso.

Great job nonetheless

I also loved your DK Tauren and DW 4 entry (very original).

dejawolf

its a nice texture and model. i think you could add some more contrast to the chest area. maybe darken the areas under the pecs a bit.

poopinmymouth

Man this came out nice. Love the full body view. You don't always have to show the face so high res, get that whole character in there! Love the design of the leather straps on his legs too.

After a long day of enforcing eternal damnation what does Baal do to relax?
I haven't a clue, but I am sure it involves a nice glass of Chianti.

JacqueChoi

LOL Adam, that's awesome!

ashleyjukes

Hey Jacque! Nice work, you did a great job!

conte

sharp stuff, man.

bejkon

I shot milk out of my nose because of adams shoop.


Good work btw! Like the full body more, looks more badass.

stoofoo

This is pretty rad! Painting itself looks dope, but some of the shading seems a little seperated and cloudy? The strippy straps in black on the chest and legs do not seem very well integrated into the model--like they are just floating there?

"ENOUGH!-OUGH!-ough!-ough!-gh! ... I shall take your position, into consideration..."

*SPLURT!*

/sigh

awesome dude!

Hazardous

Simply awesome dude, totally dig it, I'll be joining you on the next challenge for some handpainted only style!!

madspacemarinemustdie

Looks like a young version of Baal, or a manga/anime version.

:thumbup:

yes, very impressive. i thought the first image was a 2d concept... the style is very sketchy. on closer look i think what delivers that ink-y punch is the black outline stroke -- a tightness i think is actually missing from the texture. in my mind the model would really benefit from such strong definition, maybe worth a shot. some areas, like the belt decorative, seem to have that, but not the rest.

i'd love to see an entire game capturing such stylish look.

i'd also like to see u push some more colors as it does seem too desaturated. maybe push the reds a notch.
