Edit tried stripes.

Shammy · Mar 2013

Loving the look you're going for, suits Alchemist way better than his current set imo. Can't wait to see it complete!

HntrLuc · Mar 2013

This is looking great!

Jalcober · Mar 2013

Thanks guys!

BearsAremajestic · Mar 2013

This is looking good. I really like the helmet!

BrontoThunder · Mar 2013

I'm liking this set -- nice, solid, well-designed forms

Sharc · Mar 2013

I think the orange stripes give it some added personality.

sadies · Mar 2013

I like the orange stripes too, adds more interest to the bracers. Naice job so far!

Jalcober · Mar 2013

Nannou · Mar 2013

Jalcober · Mar 2013

Started work on the small guys hat.

BrontoThunder · Mar 2013

Hmm... I'm unsure about the mask for the little guy, it makes him look like a knight where as the armour makes the beast just look plated and intimidating - I think if you could find some cool middleground between armour and mad scientist it would be a lot better.

I really, really love the armour on the beast but yeah, if you could keep that theme without straight-up just armouring up the Alchemist himself it will be perfect.

Jalcober · Mar 2013

Good point. I will ask Hawf if he can come up with something different for him.

Jalcober · Apr 2013

Thanks i'm happy that you like them. What do you mean by slashes? If you mean the scratches then its detail baked from the highpoly to the normalmap.

Jalcober · Apr 2013

Oh those are just done by hand using the clay buildup brush.

Tvidotto · Apr 2013

wow, loving that set

remembers a lot the style of that character from madmax, one of my best childhood movies =]

ZUBILO · Apr 2013

Can you explain your texturing process? I will be very grateful to you)

Jalcober · Apr 2013

The texture is actually really simple. The bakes are what makes the texture look good.
Example:
With bakes
2thBD

Without bakes
2thC7

Jalcober · Apr 2013

Almost done!

how are you doing such smooth surfaces?

many many subdivisions and edge loops

JayTheRay · Jun 2013

I have a question. when you sculpt (i use zbrush) you have to get more subdivision levels before you do anything right. when i export it (is it supposed to be still subdivided or return to original subdivision)?

Jalcober · Jun 2013

It should be still divided.

Jalcober · Jun 2013

More axe items! Still need more practice at sculpting organic things.

What's up with the normals?
I think you can smooth the folds a bit, just do it like spud does, inverse dam_standard and smooth it out

Jalcober · Jun 2013

Its just a flat shaded shot with the green channel of the normal on the model. I still need to bake some things. I will try smoothing of those folds.

Konras · Jun 2013

Smoothing? Surely that was Vlads sarcasm. I personally hate dam_standard brush. pinch effect is killing me all the time when I use it. I prefer Orb_crack+clay+flatten or Selwy brushes for cloth.
You probably know this but in case I will paste you this link:

Please stop talking for me and push your personal opinion as something better than the method that works (i'm quite sure Jal was watching that stream with me).

The brushes are nice though, nothing you can't do with the other brushes, but i'll try them anyway.

Konras · Jun 2013

You got point Vlad. Could have skipped the part about sarcasm.

Jalcober · Jun 2013

Axe's axe is too manly for portrait.

Hunter-Killer · Jun 2013

Really well done, particularly the scythe!

Jalcober · Jun 2013
