Dwarf Game Characters Project

Cosmicburger · Dec 2016

Started work on a character that I plan to bring into Unreal 4. My Aim is to have him fully rigged and animated for a small game demo. Starting off with the dwarf miner, plan to make other variants (They will all be dwarves in this project, some having different jobs).

Critique always welcome.

First you should focus on the concept. Don't waste too much time getting things clean or adding small details.
So don't draw seams if your boots and the hat are still "blobs".
Do the concept in 2d or 3d as you wish but first focus on proportions and silhouette.

Keep it going.. I'm fan of dwarfs

cheers

Thanks for the feedback @rollin! Made a quick concept over to sort out the clothing details. Also might end up adding a backpack, I'll do a concept for the backpack in my next update.

Moved the beard out of the way to get the details done on the shirt. But I like this, might add this as a head variant.

Updated the concept sheet. Might end up revising it later on but its enough to work with for now.

Revised some of the concept. Decided to simplify some parts and added colour. May see some more changes but this is what I shall work with for now

Decided the metal boot parts weren't working.

Started on the retopo for the face. Want to at least get something in engine before the break is over.

After some issues with the bake I decided to test how the character would look when brought into the engine.

Low poly retopo is nearly complete. Needs a bit more cleanup.
