3d Character for Portfolio ( Scumm )

mstyle028 · Jul 2015

Hey guys, I am planning to make a piece of character for my portfolio.

I will be thinking to sculpt it first then retopo the model and paint the textures.

I just want to know if you think this kind of character is a good piece to add in my Portfolio as a character Artist.

Thanks in advance!

Imo, create pieces that are stylistically similar to the work of studios you want to be employed. I personally like the concept, but if you want to work at Rockstar or Naughty Dog, probably not the best choice.

Any character is a good piece for a Character Artist portfolio

Hi guys, thank you for the replies.

I do live here in the Philippines and i working abroad right now is not a possible choice for me. SO i will be stick into Freelancing in a few years.

If i am thinking to work into Naughtydog, what character do you think do i have to make?? Any suggestions??

While i am sculpting this character, i have a feeling that this character is too generic for me, but im not sure. I just want to create a portfolio piece of a character right now.

What do you think guys??

Here is my deviantart link by the way so maybe you could give me some advice. I don't have an Artstation yet. sorry lol

Hey guyss,

I have decided to create much more realistic and more natural male character for my portfolio.

What do you think about this piece?

Personally I like the fish guy more, you called him generic, but I think it stands out way more then standard Barbarian guy #45, but that's a matter of preference I guess

.

Still pick a char you like! cause if you're halfway through the process and kinda lose interest it's a shame!

Hi, Thanks for thought about the references. I have started sculpting the fish guy yesterday and while i am sculpting it I feel like that the character won't challenge me and it's like my comfortable zone sculpting the fish character since I've been sculpting creatures a lot for the past months.

SO i have decided to create a much realistic and much more natural and believable for my portfolio. I also looked for a lot of great artists portfolio and it seems that they create a portfolio piece of character like the male character above.

Here is my first sculpt for the character,

Nice concepts you found there. I pretty like the first one.

Both have lots of cool stuff to work in! Nice selection.

Update: I've already sculpted his upper body, but did not put too much detail in it since the abdominal will be covered by a cloth. I'm gonna sculpt his cloth next, when i am already happy with the arm proportion.

BradMyers82 · Jul 2015

good start! Lips cheeks and forhead need some work on the shapes tho. You might want to beef up his traps, and lats, and make his forarms a tad smaller too if you are going for realism.

cottonmothcrown · Jul 2015

Both are cool concepts for any portfolio. I think if you're just establishing your work, then the human one is a slightly better choice. Not to mention that showing you can sculpt clothing and armor is a big plus. Really impressed by the in progress work!

mstyle028 · Jul 2015

Thanks guys!, I have already adjusted some facial features of him including the forehead. Here I have already started sculpting his upper cloth.
