Derek (character)

Chimp

Hey all,

New character on the go:



Little character I dreamed up: works at a Tesco in Dalston, is fond of pigeons and those green recycling boxes.

Going to add a nostril crease as i forgot it before taking this pic.

I will take this one right the way through to a finished, textured piece.

He's a slightly different style to my last one and I quite like it so far- I took on board some of the things you guys said about the last one (for example, the ears). Here's the last guy:



if you have any comments or criticisms please throw em my way- characters are still fairly new to me so I am trying to soak up as much as I can.

Next up- Retopo

I like the style of both of these, it's a nice break from seeing most of the traditional realistic sculpts.

Two Listen

Philtrum (that thing between the top lip and the nose) is pretty wide on that fella, probably want to look into that. Beyond that it looks pretty similar to the previous one, but with better definition and more thought behind it.

Not sure what else to say, what's your end goal with this fella?

Chimp

yeah i will adjust a philtrum a bit.

End goal? At some point I'd like to rig them up and do some animating with them

Really dig the style. I hope you do a full torso especially for the top fellow. I can see him in mechanic garb with all the stains. Also makes me think of the personality of the mechanic in Zombieland who got had for $400...Solid start though (including the feedback on the facial anatomy adjustment.

torn between going with a team fortress style painterly texture or a gritty, grungy semi-real one. might do both tbh.

test bake

work continues - i am going to fade that philtrum a bit in the normal map

Chimp

decided not to let the work i did on the other guy go to waste, i brought over what i could into the texture for this one

will still do a tf2 style at some point but for now i'd love some crits on this texture...

Love this character. Texture looks pretty good to me, only thing that looks a bit odd is that the ears are really dark, like they had a lot of AO baked into them. The nose looks like it could use a few more triangles. It's especially notiecable from the front (middle top) and below (bottom left). Maybe widen the nostril-divider (wehat's it called?) a bit?

Chimp

thanks man, yeah i agree about the nose bit-
as for the ears, ive actually not started texturing them yet however there's an issue- i flattened the PSD and saved like an idiot. have to start again

conte

With photo texture it looks like cadaver.
I would simplify and emphasize the colors
