Post-Apocalyptic game character W.I.P

ZandiBrowne · Feb 2014

Hey Guys

I'm beginning work on a cool post apocalyptic character to add to my portfolio. It would be great to hear what you guys think.

I've started with a concept my 2d concept art skills aren't the best, so i have put images around the side to give a better understanding of what elements are.

I started the sculpt of the body but i am yet to add details.

Hi everyone

I've added the base mesh of the clothing so far. I have also done the high poly sculpt for the gas mask, i wanted it to be a combination between a normal gas mask and the V for Vendetta mask. Still yet to add damage as i will do all the damage at once at the end, is this a good plan?

I don't know if you are self taught or learning from school but as a fellow beginner, here is my suggestion to you: don't start with overly complex concepts, you'll just produce a mediocre product (I speak from experience). Focus on one area at a time. Your concept was fantastic, it had great personality and detail but for learning I would seriously suggest just doing a simple, naked character (or simple as possible) with the emphasis being on anatomy. You can work on clothing and other elements after mastering basic human anatomy. Cheers and good luck!

Also work on proportions. If proportions are off it won't look good no matter what you do. Easiest way is to find good proportions reference and view it behind Zbrush. You can change ZBs opacity (slider in upper right corner) to see the reference. You can tweak it by eye then. It's worth to know the science behind proportions though.

Thanks guys i've had a go at fixing the hands and changed some other proportions.

I've also done some sculpting on more clothing and accessories.

Its looking real good. I like the character a lot, I think my only noticeable thing to correct right now is that his shoulders are a little wide-set for the rest of his build.
