Soul Jailer (Piggy Style) (partial nudity)

fuxer

Hey guys!
This is a character started working on recently.
He is supposed to be a soul jailer and he's quite big!
I have posted most of the updates on zbrushcentral,but i want to get as much crit as possible because i want this to be one of my best characters.
I'm working on this character every day for about 1-2 hours,so updates should come in pretty frequently.
I'm still working on the sculpt and polypainting. There's not much left until i'm done with this stage so soon enough i will be starting the low poly version.
Let me know what you think,thanks!

haikai

Really impressive modeling and details. The skin is quite saggy in some areas (like the arms) which is kind of odd considering how much girth he has overall. I think the shoulder pad looks too graceful compared to the rest of his design. Looking forward to the final!

ENODMI

Really nice work, the hacked off ear is disgusting. Is the belt finished? Seems lacking in detail compared to the rest. Maybe some rivet/bolts on the cages and chest harness too.

Swizzle

I agree with haikai. I think the arm skin could use a little more volume to match the amount of fat he has elsewhere. That pauldron doesn't seem to fit with the rest of his accessories, so it could probably stand to be more chunky and maybe have something like belts and chains incorporated into it.

Very impressive work overall, though. His face is just completely disgusting, and that's a good thing.

Ryper

nice work overall, his belly button is gross.

things to improve though as said before i would definately put some more detail onto the belt and pauldron, they seem to stick out by being too flat. Maybe some carvings on the pauldron and some notches/holes in the belt, maybe even a buckle of some kind.

Keep up the good work

popngear

Awesome sculpting! That's one of the most disgusting bellybuttons i've ever seen. If i were to say anything, perhaps the stitching on his gloves seems too large, especially when you compare it to the ones on his mask.

XenoKratios

I see balls, but where's the penis?

Neo_God

Really awesome! The sculpting on the leather bits are top-notch. However, I think you should adjust the fabric wrinkles at the shoulders and back where the straps are touching it, it looks like the straps aren't disrupting the flow of the fabric at all. I would also consider the comments about the arm fat/skin, that is currently its weakest point

Seriously though, Great job!

fuxer

haikai You mean that the fat should be more compacted in the arms and have less big wrinkles? I do agree but i also want to have a flappy look on the arm's fat,so i'll just lower them a bit. Thanks for the crit!

ENODMI Nope,the belt is just a placeholder.It will be decorated with broken bones snapped with bolts. I'll post a concept in a moment. Thanks

Swizzle Glad you like the face! The shoulder pad is still wip,it will have chains and some straps going over it! Thanks for the crit

popngear Thanks! The stitching is intended to look kinda different from the leather cap he has. That's because he has created this accessories himself from different kind of leathers. The belly button is not detailed yet ahhaah

XenoKratios Ahem,it has been cut in battle! That's why he's so angry... look at his face! :P

Neo_God That's a great tip,thank you.I'll try to make the clothes deform better from the accessories.

Really glad you all like this so far,thanks alot for your help!

I guess when I think of a fat arm I think of something like this:

The arms and legs on your model look like they were once fat before, but have quickly lost weight or shriveled up leaving the wrinkly skin behind. That's kind of cool in another way, but didn't seem to match the rest of the body to me. It's probably not a big deal though.

fuxer

Got it,but yeah i agree it should be changed a bit. Thanks for the pic,it really helps!

fuxer

Ok guys,first thanks for all the crits,really helpful!
Massive changes in this version. Arm's wrinkles are less evident and more smoothed,belly pops out,smaller belt and more accessories!
The ribcage and other bones are just base meshes so far,let me know what you guys think.

polygoo

awesome

chrisradsby

Absolutely disgusting and great I don't really have any crits, I'm interested in how you'll go about baking everything and how expensive it'll be

fuxer

Thanks guys
I'm aiming towards 15k-20k polys. That should be enough ehehe

fuxer

Hey guys,back with more updates! Let me know what you think of the changes!

woogity

awesome man looks fantastic!

ENODMI

Is that a pelvis for a belt buckle? Nice!

foreverendering

Awesome work

I think it would be cool to see a little additional work to the chest on his back. Maybe a padlock & metal handles similar to this image

Keep going, looks great

fuxer

Woogity thanks man
ENDOMI ahah yeah thats a pelvis,it needs detailing though
Foreverendering Thanks! You are right,i totally forgot about the lock and handles. ( thats the reason he has a damn key too ehhe)
I will work on those tomorrow then

gauss

I scrolled up and down until I saw the nudity. Exquisite piggy balls. Sho nuff.

JGcount

Ugliest face I've ever seen. GJ

fuxer

Thanks guys! Dropping by with some updates on the sculpt and low poly
Low poly (12.000 tris so far)


and the final sculpt


I will add the chest lock later on

SHEPEIRO

very nice

fuxer

thanks man

Cordell Felix

Dude this is such an awesome character, he sure is lugging around alot of weight but at least hes bulky enough to carry all of that.

Great sculpt man, and nice looking re-topo mesh

fuxer

Thanks! Here's my current progress.
I'm baking some nmaps and ao,still there are some objects missing! I will try to get them baked by tomorrow so i can start texturing asap

minimari

That is one awesome piggy You inspire me!

fuxer

Thank you Minimari! it's very nice to hear
Here's the current progress on the low poly! It's about 19.000 tris so far!
I will start reducing tomorrow to save some for the weapon and the spirits within the cages.

onelung

looking badass, keep up the good work!

DDuckworth

That is a seriously awesome bake, looks just like the high!!! I really want to see this in something, if anything just to run around this guy as he's idling laboriously breathing. Great texture and I am surprised at how awesome the soul cage bake came out!!

Can't wait to see more (if there is more? he looks done to me, very professional)

fuxer

Well this is totally wip,there are no actual textures yet,just colors with normal and ambient occlusion. There's alot to do on the model
More progress coming soon. Thanks!

fuxer

Here's an update on the model,just finished baking the weapon and little accessories.
I got some optimizing to do,but overall the mesh is complete and i'll start working on texturing

LRoy

He is really disgusting.

DDuckworth

The colors/lighting in this most recent render are really saturated, personally, i prefer your previous render setup, very clean and really showed off the awesome texture work and normal maps, this one just kind of blows him out and makes the leather look too shiny.

Skamberin

Damn, he'd probably look prettier if you smashed his head into mulch with a brick :P
Awesome design and execution man, bake looks good, looking forward to seeing the finished texture

nfrrtycmplx

looks good, can't wait to see the textured version

fuxer

DDuckworth bad lighting! ahaha
Skamberin thanks man!
Here's some update on the texture. I only worked on skin and leather parts. Soo much to do

DDuckworth

This lighitng is looking much better, I really love the way you've handled his eyes, the one working one looks so convincing and the one that is "blind" really fits nicely with the color, I think it could use a little cloudiness in it though, like the way it looks when you pour creme in cappuccino, not a full blend but a nice cloudiness. Overall he just looks way too awesome

fuxer

DDuckworth big thanks for your comment. I want to take a different approach on the yes as these look too human (i want more of an animal look on him). The right eye will have the blind look anyway. Cloudy for sure
Here's an update,slightly changed the weapon design and added overall detailing everywhere. I really hope you guys/gals like this update

Cap Hotkill

Amazing indeed

fuxer

itismario i decided to remove the small keys,they don't quite fit (for now) eheh
Cap Hotkill thanks!
Here's more update on the texture,new eyes and overall updates everywhere.

krisCrash

I am intrigued by people modelling "gross" and "ugly" characters, so many artists are all for PRETTAY PICTURES.. but not on polycount ;D can't decide whether to pity that sad face or run for my life
His piggy feet are really cool.

mrturtlepaste

wow, absolutely stunning. I love the stains around the mouth and on the strap, what an awesome touch. There is just so much to look at I can't take my eyes off of this guy. thanks for sharing.

Danielmn

that last pass is seriously awesome

Alberto Rdrgz

I agree the last Update looks RIDiCK!

daphz

this is a disgustingly awesome character! no crits from me. lookin forward to seeing some sweet renders

fuxer

All of you guys,big thanks for the feedback! I'm very happy you like the progress of this model.
Does any of you use 3pointshader? if so,is there a way to enable double sided polys? I can do that manually with xoliul's shader.

krisCrash

Yes, I use it, but it doesn't show up in rendering for me so I think I'm the wrong person to ask globally force 2-sided in your renderer?

fuxer

krisCrash problem is that this is a viewport grab,i still have not setup a render (i will do so at the end though) thanks anyway

sparrow

This is looking really good. i like, would be cool if you could do some more ligitng veritions, like dramatic lighting. I can Imagen him having strong red colours, don't ask y lol. also the big things haning off him are the some type of light saws. keep up the grate work. i really like this.
