bouncing back between 3DSmax and zbrush.
Working on High poly at the moment.

Random aside, btu solid job with the Crow character for the Blizzard Student Contest! Definitely gives me something to strive for.

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Awww thanks! I love how your model turned out too!

Veech · Mar 2013

That's pretty cool, did you start with the Lower Poly mess and then bring it into a sculpting program or the other way around?

MeshModeler · Mar 2013

hahah i love gavin, i took one of his classes back when i was in school.

Great start on the sculpt!

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

I started with a concept mesh in zbrush and used it as a guide in max to make the base of the lowpoly then threw the lowpoly back into zbrush to make the high lol

Gavin is awesome! Very great teacher!

Thanks!

Cool, I've heard of modeling with using a sculpter first but would that be useful only if you don't have a character rotation? Or can it be applied in both situations?

Looks good man, only thing id say is harden up some of the edges in the abdomen/the bottom of the rib cage like youve done on pecs/clavicle

UHM. I think you can do it both ways. you can put the turn around in zbrush and quickly block out the form. It is diffidently way easier to sculpt it out first if you don't have a turn around which is one the reasons i did it this way.

Thanks! Thanks for the feed back i will apply that!

bigphun · Mar 2013

I think you've captured the concept brilliantly but I think that face edge was meant to look more like I've show below, it just got lost behind the mustache.

I say this, because in the concept there is a tiny sliver of highlight between the cheekbone/smile line and the mustache, but I'm just nitpicking.

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

I totally see what you mean! thank you! : D

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Some of my geo on my low got kinda messy when i was adjusting it to the high poly. So i need to go back and clean it up. Finishing up the other pieces in the concept for his body.

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Sorry for the quick shitty screenshots. If you guys have any feed back that'd be awesome.
My low is almost done, i have to add a few more straps and fur alphas.

Spoon · Mar 2013

Shitty screenshots are great, no need to spend time doing great renders at this point

Good job so far! I dont know the character, but you seem to be going in the right direction. You might want to look into his back anatomy, especially the lats and spinal erectors, as the back area seems like you dont quite know what you are doing - unless of course it is intended to go with unrealistic anatomy.

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Thanks! I will look in my anatomy and correct that for sure!

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Low w/ normals

I'm currently prepping for texturing. YAY EXCITING!

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Working on the skinnn

Dubzski · Mar 2013

That's some real nice stylised work there

.

nksilver5 · Mar 2013

Love the handpainted look of it mate

Did you use a gradient from bottom to top ?

I'm not a character artist but when I do some for fun, I always do some slight gradient, from a dark greyish colour to almost white, and it gives me a really good transition and better read

anyway like it !

Aqua Dark · Mar 2013

Thanks guys!

I am panting a gradient in as i go!

Aqua Dark · Apr 2013

Worked on the the hair and started the beard thingie. woopwooop

Aqua Dark · Apr 2013

SLOWLY GETTING THERE!!

Aqua Dark · Apr 2013

Lavitz · Apr 2013

He's coming out awesome!
Only thing I would suggest is removing his belly button. I think in the concept that was just muscle definition.

Aqua Dark · Apr 2013

HES PRETTY MUCH DONE. I'll do some better renders after i rig him
