Chibi Demon Sorceror [crits please!]

BeserK

Howdy all!

Low poly model for a mini over at gameartisans, didn't make the deadline, but keen to finish anyway!

Please let rip with crits/suggestions... THANKS!

conte

really cool design!

BeserK

Rough sketches for chibi scorceror, coloured stuff to come soon!

Ikosan

your sketches have the head a little bigger on it, in your sketches the character is roughly 2 heads high where as your model is about 3 heads and dosnt' come off as quite so cute

BeserK

conte: THANKS!

Ikosan: DAMMIT you're right! I think my lazy unconcious didn't want me to see that! ok, work ahead!

Paintover coming soon...

BeserK

UPDATE:



Cutified model on Ikosan's advice, looks much better now!
Re-unwrapped, baked AO, painting baking errors out, will start with texturing soon!

OverMarvelous

gunna look FANTASTICAL. Gogo gasdget texture. Your pencil sketches are awesome!

GabrielP

looking great so far, pretty stoked to see some maps on him.

BeserK

Basic colur update (black crown is temporary :P ), work is happening SUPER-slow on this, keen to try and speed things up!

conte

sdk!
nice work)

Stertman

its super cute! keep at it!

Baddcog

Really cool.

Maybe the tentacles should be bigger. Right now they seem so minimal compared to details like the horn, they're pretty easy to miss but should stand out more imo.

Ikosan

looking much better now you've made the head bigger, i agree with Baddcog though, you've got great proportions in your sketch but your not really nailing them in your model. I'd say look into the size and shape of the horn, on your sketch its not as 'tall' but spirals sooner and helps the character feel balanced (it goes slightly further to the left as well), at the moment with your models horn so tall he looks a little like he may fall over.

BeserK

PROGRESS!

Too long a break over christmas, but back on the horse again!
Apologies for the iffy colour, my max is being silly.

Adjusted the horn to be more balanced and to be a little closer to the sketch, texture stuff going on too...

Not a fan of the square eye sockets on the skull. You are trying to keep everything low... but those are using quite a bit for a not so great of an effect. Might be worth just painting them on.

Great sketch man!

BeserK

Square eyes fixed (thanks Jeremiah), eyes fixed up, mouth added, finally fixed the viewport colour issue! some shadows and highlights tweaked!

Someone suggested making the flat of the blade smoother as apposed to letting it follow the edges of the geometry, as it is now, any thoughts?

Also, I just noticed my pics are being resized, is this photobucket or polycount?
HOW DO I FIX THIS!

BeserK

Highlights on blade and horn, scrawled detail on base of the wrap, next up is a pedestal!

BeserK

Finally done!









Thanks for the crits and opinions
