Dune's Chani Character-Oldbay

Oldbay

Hey Polycount! This is my first post of my work on the site. long time listener first time caller... I love feedback and critique so feel free to participate in either.
Working on a game character based on a brilliant concept by Devon Cady-Lee LINK TO CONCEPT



My end goal is a completed game character for my personal portfolio. So far I have the basemesh down although the hair's a blockout (the end asset will have carded hair) I'm currently blocking out the tubing and hard surface details that will deform the fabric.
Thanks and please critique!

Awesome concept indeed (there should be a new Dune game some time ), however I think it would be cooler if your sculpt was more true to the concept, e.g. more stylized. Right now you have a lot of realistic skin detail. Also the eyes could be a tad lower I guess.

Jessica Dinh

Wow, nice concept! Maybe make the eyes a bit bigger and the lips a bit smaller. Which of the three are you going to do?

Oldbay

@ JKMakowaka I wasn't really thinking about the skin detail style wise just because I wasn't considering it as part of the final asset (the concept to the left only shows hair and face) but if you have problems with the proportions or specific features (like the eyes) that may effect how the final garments are effected I'd be happy to revise toward that goal. Thanks!

@Jessica Dinh: I'm going for the concept to the left with the covering and everything It's all very exciting! I've tried the larger eyes and smaller mouth like in the concept but I didn't like how the eyes effected the face in the side view and I just didn't seem to like the smaller lips at all as they always made her look like she was pursing her lips, so I went with a more naturalistic face, I'll keep messing with it and see if I can get it to work. Thanks!

A great idea and as mentioned before great concepts! I really enjoy seeing Dune come to life from the works of 3d artists. Now if we could only get a game for Dune that didn't flop.

Can't wait to see your next update.

Here's an update, getting the eyes fixed and likeness closer to the concept:



As always feedback is appreciated!

Jessica Dinh

Ohh, that looks MUCH better!! She has a very cute, feminine face now. Before I thought it was a bit manly haha.

This is awesome. Dune was on tv a few days ago, too. Always loved those suits.
