Fat Demon (WIP)

What started out as a lunch sketch made me want to push my sculpting more hmmmm Here's a fat demon.

carlobarley · Sep 2012

I was using dynamesh sphere to create the entire body just for fun, I should have used the mudbox base mesh next time as poles on the fingers were getting annoying but its a good way to focus on the bigshapes+gesture and not detail.

Then you finally realize the limits of dynamesh and the poles start to get annoying when trying to detail. So its time for retopology!

I used 3dcoat and reprojected the detail in Zbrush

carlobarley · Sep 2012

Further detailing on the fat demon.
I could go ahead and make the game mesh and textures but I would like to push my sculpting level more hmmm

crits and suggestions are welcome!

looks very nice, maybe his hands could be a little bigger with longer fingers.

I feel he lacks definition on the primary detail level. Fat people tend to turn kinda blobby, but I'd still like to see more interesting plane changes and major shapes. At the moment he's kinda just egg shaped. A bit late for that maybe...
You could try to punch out some alpha stamps and see what interesting shapes and featues you can pull out of that. Whenever I'm kinda stuck I like to slap down some noise and messiness and pick out shapes in the clouds, if you know what I mean.
Another thing he could need is some personalization. Give him some accessories like pants, jewelry, a vest, or a weapon. Maybe some scars and warts too. Give him some history.

Thanks for the suggestions!

@shishkebab yeah the hands and feet could use more TLC
@Sindre more blobs, I'll make an obese person ref sheet soon, probably do paintovers on the 3d model, yeah he definitely needs some history and that will define his attributes. lemme sleep on that~~

I can't tell because of the zbrush render, and correct me if I am wrong but it looks like the stomach goes straight to the pelvic bone. It should actually fold over the pelvic bones.

@donavon

carlobarley · Oct 2012

Fnitrox · Oct 2012

hahahaha those outfit are beyond awesome

OtrickP · Oct 2012

Looks great! Aside from the already mentioned issues with the belly, not too bad! Perhaps a bit too much noise around the face? Looks like the Fallen Lunatic from D3

carlobarley · Oct 2012

updated removed some noise on the face and raised the belly flop.

@aga22 Sweet tooth from Twisted metal lol!
@Fnitrox haha thanks I would have to clone myself for that! I wanna finish this and move on to another personal project.
@OtrickP yeah you got me there! fallen lunatics are awesome they are the ultimate trolls in d3!
