Sketchbook: pixelb

Alright, time to start a dumping ground for WIPs and never-to-be-finished projects.

Crits are most welcome! Keep in mind I won't be able to go back and rework stuff most of the time, but that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.

It's been ages since I did a character. I'd like to warm up to something like Firstkeeper's Sylvanas Windrunner, so I'm starting with a simple concept from the Cataclysm artbook and just sorta working from there. I'm following Firstkeeper's 3D Total tutorials, but substituting 3D Coat for Deep Paint

Anyway, I'm fairly sure this is a worgen in human form, but honestly I know next to nothing about WoW lore.

Your topology is really clean, and the textures look like they are off to a good start. Are you going 100% painted textures or are you doing normals?

pixelb

Hadn't given it much thought. I might try normals on small details like the belt ornament, but I'm not going to bring it into ZBrush or anything like that.

the hood doesnt feel integrated into the outfit very well, the hood feels like an add-on rather than planned

Dammit, you're right. I should attach it to the vest so I can deform it properly.

Did these last weekend. I should do more mini-projects.
