Strnr's workshop

Stirner · Apr 2015

Hello guys! There were a few concepts I did for last months so I'm gonna post them here from now, all your crits are also welcome!

And here's my latest set concept for Naga.

I'm not really sure about those blades, I'll probably rework them sooner.

Gold, one main color and curvy shapes make up your Ember, Naga and BH concepts. You have quite the skill but maybe vary your concepts to be more unique and interesting in their own right? Sorry for sounding harsh!

I agree
You seem to have similar elements in all your designs and those elements are repetitively used across every concept. but I must add that you have improved like no one else in here. I've seen your works some months ago and I see your works now. You are improving very well, however maybe try to go for new a language and try smth new. or design for a hero that can't get along this language so you force yourself not to use them. like try some organic elements to fully break this Gold/armor language.
maybe try mirana? brood? tusk? weaver? nature? puck? lifestealer? OD?! yes OD

no golds on him

If I recall correctly I've seen a venomancer set from you. Do more like that so you improve in designing other elements too

keep up the good work! if you keep your improvement pace, in no time people will be fighting to work on your concepts

Stirner · Apr 2015

Thank you for your advices guys! I'll try to work on some sort of organic shapes or something like that next time.

Stirner · May 2015

Hello guys! Here's another set concept. This one sadly has the same design as the previous one, but i'm really thinking about working on some another-looking shapes and colors as this design's looking too boring to me now

also looking for collab

Stirner · May 2015

so i tried to draw something with another looking shapes and colors,i hope you like it guys

Qop's wing looks got some love from me. maybe you can re think about Qop's other part design. that really need to stand out from other qop sets :P

Reza · Jun 2015

1.Well the first Sand king (as we talked about) has nice shapes but need better coloring (which we will do it in time

)

2.The second Sand king however is a less interesting version of the first one.

3.The back piece for LC is very nice, me like it! rest is very simple, specially the weapon. I suggest making different designs for each slot just to brainstorm and posting them with your concept. Not all of them need to be fully rendered.

4.The QOP wings are very beautiful. The shape is not very new but the colors are very nice and fitting. Blade tips on wings have been done a few times already and you might face trouble skinning this shape of wing.
I suggest reworking the dagger, it's very very simple now. You can borrow some elements from the wing to make a more interesting dagger. Not sure what's going on with the head and shoulder though, maybe if you draw a perspective view or a side view, you will present the design more accurately.

5.IMO The main point about the Lina set is her skirt, it's a nice approach but you are making her very fat now

See if you can rework and make it more fitting/sexy

These are just my crits take it with a grain of salt. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

Stirner · Jun 2015

Thank you for all your crits and suggestions guys! It's really helpful.

Haftoof · Jun 2015

I know this may sound dumb, but I sort of agree with lina and the first thing that jumped out at me was the slits in the side. Bright those in and down and show hips/thigh through the slits. The waist-band looks super cool though.

Stirner · Jul 2015

Hey guys, aba set design is done:

let me know if you're interested in collab

whatever · Jul 2015

Looking pretty good,hope someone makes it

Stirner · Jul 2015

Stirner · Jul 2015

Sniper set is done:

Not really sure about his gun.

whatever · Jul 2015

I like it,very intresting color,gun is maybe too simple and not unique but it would be fresh and cool sniper set.

P.S What program,tablet you use?

Stirner · Jul 2015

Stirner · Aug 2015

Storm Spirit set concept:

whatever · Aug 2015

Love your painting,but it looks again like other concepts,and maybe too many armor for a storm

Stirner · Aug 2015

@whatever Thank you!

I'm almost done with head and shoulder piece sculpt here, i'm pretty new to all this 3d stuff so any crits and feedback would be really welcome.
i've also reworked the concept a little, so here's updated version of it.

whatever · Aug 2015

I like it but its a bit rough,not sure why

Stirner · Aug 2015

Swaggernaut · Aug 2015

Looking very well if you did this all by yourself

Stirner · Aug 2015

Thank you! I'm really new to sculpting so it looks really rough and not that clean. I'll probably do a bit more work on the shoulder before baking it.

Haftoof · Aug 2015

Take the time to really clean up the details and remember your materials on the sculpting. For example you have a cut carved into the hanging pieces, that are supposed to be cloth. If there was a cut there the cloth would hang. Try to smooth out some of the areas (areas without damage) and make the focus points (cuts and grooves) more prominent. Remember this is seen at birds eye view so bigger details are important.

Don't be afraid to make the indentations deeper as they will affect the normal mapping of the object when you take it back to low poly. Also you might have to worry about poly-count if you didn't look at the low poly of this first.

Otherwise for a first sculpt looks awesome ^..~

Stirner · Aug 2015

@Hartroof Thank you for your feedback! I'll work on it

Stirner · Sep 2015

Hey guys! Here's some WIP on Forge Spirit

Stirner · Sep 2015

Hey guys!SK set WIP

Andumy · Sep 2015

Try the hpolish brush , especially if you're using a tablet

Stirner · Sep 2015

Thank you Andumy!:) I always use this brush but i've thought that it would look not really organic if i'll make it too polish.

Haftoof · Sep 2015

Looks solid, I would try to smooth out the gums a touch, gums generally don't have sharp edges. Pock marking looks good, you might want to add a bit of texture on the carapace pieces. Maybe look into tyranids for the look of how to do ridging/texture on the carapace.
