Poll: Pick which turd to polish!
polycounter lvl 20
I was part of the big layoff at Vigil Games 2 weeks ago and now really need to update my folio of personal work.
My plan is to take some of the more decent items from my assortment of WIPS and finish them up publicly, if possible, over the next month and a half while I continue to look for work.
Trouble is, I cannot decide which project, if any, deserves being finished.
So! I figured I'd let Polycount pick the first. Whatever gets picked would get finished to either a full next-gen character or maybe bust.
Oops, forgot the shadowrun-ish orc/ran outta space.

Black guy, greybeard, or black turtleneck. In that order.
At any rate, I'll keep watching this one. Good luck in your job search.
Otherwise I would say any of the character that demonstrate a good understanding of human anatomy (which doesn't really help I know
So yeah, finish off the black dude, the white dude and the gal first.
I've pasted that head on the comic body and made some edits, plus I did this paintover tonight for a possible direction.
I think I'm still stuck in Darksiders mode. :P
blah. I dunno if I'm gonna keep the purple witch thing.
I say keep going with this witch theme.
With this work, think of what your port lacks and the type of companies you want to aim for. Big studios have styles pretty much set, so you can clearly aim your port at what you like, or show more versatility and have a piece for each.
Just went ahead and did a paint over for some extra ideas design wise. Love her face but it doesn't really read evil witch to me. I know you can pose the eyes in the low-poly, just an observation. Kickin ass dude, looking forward to it.
Yea I would be interested in this as well. I love those purple hues you have going on!
I would however, do something more crazy with the hair though, it's bit bland like that. And maybe some boney necklaces and earrings could be cool as well.
Also, dat turtleneck guy!
Really dig all the characters, though the neck on your female head may be a tad long. The witch approach is still worth it. Unless you go for a back-packer/explorer?
Again, just personal opinion, but consider twisting a cliché or two. A witch with a summer instead of winter theme? A likeable character in purple?
though I was liking the purple alien a lot, for me It has potential.
I'd love that skin tut, but that's just wishful thinking.
Best of luck, love the work, keep your head up!
(tho you are really rockin that female char hard ^^)
The other two I'd love to see finished are Harkonnen and the Alien, so maybe I'm just feeling sci-fi today.
OneLung: Thanks so much for the paintover man! I'm going to take same of that into account for this new concept for sure.
Nizza: Because I'm lazy/busy/fickle. Pick one.
EarthQuake: Thanks Joe! That means a lot. I've been practicing a little.
NaruSol: Your wish is my command...
So, I've taken the concept in a different direction. Let me know how you folks like it and if you can guess what character it is.
one tiny obsessive tweak on the knees is all I can crit really
Yay BPR.
one minor crit -i know it's a stilsuit, but i'd love to see some straps/buckles etc..
like in the mov.
Plus I'll crosspost these from the speedmodel thread.

I took this sculpt, which some of you may recall, and knocked the sculpted hair off (it was all 1 dynamesh lump), and retopo'd her.

I did a little further sculpting, keeping in mind my inspirations (The Stars of the 2 Ridley Scott Alien movies, Sigourney Weaver, and Noomi Rapace).
Lady Jessica / Reverend Mother Jessica
Also, this sketch of The Duke, Leto Atreides.
*edit: Forgot the Duke!
I'm curious how you're knocking out those skin textures so fast. What's that skin texture? Some 3dsk image?
your skype pings totally made me look at my skype.
Great tutorial!
