I had a crack at Varian Wrynn from the Warcraft universe.

The aim i had in mind was to end up with a more realistically rendered/textured bust, keeping the blizzard style of proportion and effects (wear/nicks etc) but maintaining nice pbr skin/materials. Hopefully it doesn't end up scraping the bottom of the uncanny valley, but its been an interesting experiment so far.

c&c wanted!

Edit:
Finished retopo and most bakes, started texturing. Game rez mesh is about 11k tris including all the fur shells.

Current progress;

this guy always annoyed me, but you have done agreat job

Suba · Jul 2014

This is absolutely lovely. You did good with the face.

Perzik · Jul 2014

Wow , it's awesome !

Add3r · Jul 2014

Yes.

This is nice but I think you can add some more major damage areas and larger damage overall. Right now, he still feels very clean. Adding a few very large damage points and then some more medium damage areas would really sell the blizzard feel. Also, curious how you handled the hair? it doesnt feel like fibers but if it is, really nice job!

Ave · Jul 2014

Oh damn, i thought i'd over-damaged it. I guess i'll ding it up then

The hair is fibremesh at the moment.

Cheers guys

mikezoo · Jul 2014

Nice sculpt. Are you planning on texturing it?

Pretty niffy use of fiber mesh too.

Ave · Sep 2014

Quick update - started the game rez mesh. ~11k tri's

good work!!!

Sweet man...skin is looking really red at the moment...

Ave · Sep 2014

Dropped the redness, maybe still too red?..idk looks a bit sickly at the moment.. Armor material is just a quick bash in ddo atm. Trying to get the skin and fur shells looking nice.

Stirls · Sep 2014

Wooow! That looks really nice. I know you're definitely not done, but a bit of dirt around the neck/face area would really help to establish his cleanliness (or lack thereof).

Joost · Sep 2014

Awesome! I love the handpainted PBR look

oxblood · Sep 2014

my god this is good

Ave · Sep 2014

Started blocking in metals and such, the skin looks a bit better now. I think i'm going to redo the fur...the more i look the more i hate it.

Thanks for the kind words/crits guys, too cool.

Fur is always a tricky one, this is looking awesome though!

lotet · Sep 2014

I think the fur looks good as a base, slap some alpha planes on top of that thing and I think youl be fine

Ave · Sep 2014

I wont image spam, but i was also experimenting with a few different ways to present the bust (beyond just a pedestal thing). If anyone has any cool suggestions and wants to share, lay them on me

I like the ribbons, not the text.
I unfortunately dont have a better idea =P

KKolar · Sep 2014

Looks awesome! I like the ribbons also, the text not so much.
Maybe instead do something with the alliance symbol?

Steve Schulze · Sep 2014

I'd just keep it super-simple myself. You don't really need any extra detail on the stand.

Ave · Sep 2014

@JAcka Yeah you're probably right...i just get excited easily.

@KKolar I'm thinking of reusing one of the ribbons as a banner in the background perhaps, i don't want to spend too much time on the pedestal.

Getting close to being done on the armor. Then all that's left is the hair and a bit of polish.

Ave · Nov 2014

Finalllllly got a moment to get back and work on this guy after Aus PAX. Getting pretty close
