TehSplatt · Jul 2012

Nice start

joshmtyler · Jul 2012

I think you have entirely too much detail on the face before you've flushed out the rest of him. That being said, I love the direction it is going! He's super interesting to me.

grisQwin · Jul 2012

incredible! super start
keep it up :poly121:

Texelion · Jul 2012

This will be cool.

SharDCG · Jul 2012

Thanks guys! Can someone help me?
I want to rename my thread because my necromancer mutated into archer)) How can i do this?

SharDCG · Jul 2012

ok, here we go!

Message Adam or one of the admins/mods.

Texelion · Jul 2012

Really cool concept. It could have been a good necro too.

SharDCG · Jul 2012

Thanks guys! A little update from me

Hope you like it)

makecg · Jul 2012

wow this guy looks badass !

MrNinjutsu · Jul 2012

Looking boss, keep it up!

SharDCG · Jul 2012

thanx! happy that you like it

lotet · Jul 2012

awezome, he looks very "warhammer online squig herder" ish when you changed him into an archer.
I like that you put the quiver in the belt and not on the back btw!

Thanks man! I didn't play warhammer)) yes, its the truth)) But google says that you are right. Hmm...

SharDCG · Jul 2012

And today's little update from me:

Finished base forms, now time to detail. And main question for me today is how to sculpt all this fur. Maybe someone knows good way to do this?

woogity · Jul 2012

Looking really awesome man!

lotet · Jul 2012

google is always true =P

have u checked out the arena net art test threads? there are a lot of different fur sculpts there, maybe u can take some inspiration from those.

DockRock · Jul 2012

I think this one is my favorite so far. Been going through most of them but this one really stands out! Great work!

DBentley · Jul 2012

Ho man, this is an awesome little character you've got going here! Reaaally liking the overall look. Definitely feels like there's good story behind this character.

Only thing I feel is that the ornamental skull on his belt feels a bit out of place. I don't know. It could entirely be just me, but he feels very nature-oriented/wild, and the skull seems out of place, being metal and all. It might suit more to have a real skull?

Really minor nitpick, looks good like it is too! Keep it up!

mix · Jul 2012

looking awesome!!

SharDCG · Aug 2012

thx guys!
highpoly is almost finished:

Thank you, man! This is my interpretation of the fur from this threads.

Thx! Maybe you right... But I think its not a problem because he has many metal parts in his cloth like belt pyramids, chain and buckles on his jacket, big metal horns holder on the back etc

Caldria · Aug 2012

Wow, that fur came out really really nice.

lotet · Aug 2012

holy sht man, that looks awezome!

SharDCG · Aug 2012

Caldria
lotet
thx guys!

nechnechmo · Aug 2012

Awesome sculpting!

ralusek · Aug 2012

Holy shit that fur is awesome. Great face too. Only thing I don't like about it so far is the bow, I think that you could push it a lot further judging by what you've done here. Maybe some fur on it?

If I'll have time, i'll think about the bow. But now i want to finish it as fast as possible cause I need to do some freelance work soon.
In any case thanks!

jeebs · Aug 2012

very good job, looking forward for the low poly.

JoeCyriac · Aug 2012

Lovely work on the fur. Great colour scheme in your concept too.

SharDCG · Aug 2012

Thx guys!

Cheers

guhhh · Aug 2012

Love the quality of the bake!! New reference for me for bakes. Want to see this finished. Keep rocking

SharDCG · Aug 2012

Thx guys!
guhhh
I baked him in xnormal with the cage from 3ds max.

Almost finished. I have still to tune specular, gloss and sss maps.
It skinned to biped with additional bones. Rendered in marmoset toolbag.
Finally 14996 tris and single texture 2048^2048

garriola83 · Aug 2012

very nice!

Texelion · Aug 2012

Really good. I thought you would put some dirt and a worn aspect on the clothes, everything look too clean, "new". But maybe he just bought all the stuff ^^.

woogity · Aug 2012

looking really cool man if you have time for a quick texture tweak i may have one for ya. the laces wrapped around the bow are very heavily occluded for how big they are. Darkening that wrapping may allow them to separate themselves better from the bow's wood texture without having that really dark black shadow right on the edge of the material. also really loving the hand painted look on the gold metals. The boots are killer man!

-Woog

SharDCG · Aug 2012

@garriola83
thx!
@Texelion
There are many dirt on the clothes and other stuff so.. Maybe its too dark and not visible on dark clothes... Thanks, i will add some bright warm spots on his jacket, boots etc.
@woogity
Yeah man, thanks! I will fix belts on the bow.

praetus · Aug 2012

Saw this in the WAYWO thread. Just wanted to say that this looks amazing. I really enjoy the way that he truly has character. Between his armor style and scars on his face it doesn't feel like a generic character. Good job.

SharDCG · Aug 2012

Because

Deadline has been extended because of popular request to Aug 31st at 12:00 PM PST!

Its NOT final renders. I will tune light, spec etc next week. But here is my current progress of this character:

lotet · Aug 2012

love the platform! your textures look a bit plain though, I think you could ad alot of detail in there, dirt, scratches, war paint, color variations,hue shifts, stuff like that.

SharDCG · Aug 2012

ok, thanks for the advice!

tsabszy · Aug 2012

great work man! straight into my inspiration folder!! also.. subscribed

(gonna check out your other works when ill have time)
