beautiful face

chemotoledo · Dec 2017

Nice and clean sculpt man! I like it so far, my only suggestions would be to make his face a bit older, right now it looks like a child/kid age, but great work so far

omen47 · Dec 2017

Awesome! Good luck!

jmiles · Dec 2017

Great stuff @leoartz! looking forward to more of this guy!

Darkzan · Dec 2017

A young version of Wukong? i like it. The face is soo clean, love the hair. can't wait to see your update.

NguyThuyNgan · Dec 2017

The Wukong face so emotional and youthful.
Good job!! Please keep it up

FemCharles · Dec 2017

leoartz · Dec 2017

TheIceWolves · Dec 2017

Awesome! Good luck on your lowpoly.
All of Wukong Skin's tri count is around 6k - 8k, Hope you keep the count close to that. Waiting for the next Update

FemCharles · Dec 2017

Looks great! Really nice clean sculpt. I think for me the head might be slightly too small. I made a quick gif.

leoartz · Jan 2018

necromancer · Jan 2018

coming out nice

GeneralSoundwave · Jan 2018

This is looking great!

Benefix · Jan 2018

Nice work, man!!! How did you make such cool tail in zbrush? Did you do each piece separately?

And I want to take u some advice, he has strange legs, maybe can move them closer? What do you think?

leoartz · Jan 2018

Thank you @necromancer and @GeneralSoundwave. @Benefix I Did each piece separately in maya :-). Also thanks for pointing out the legs, seems fine to me but shall check out once again :-)

GulliblePotato · Jan 2018

Excellent work bud. Personally I feel as if he is too baby faced and it creates a disturbing contrast with the facial hair.

Might I ask what material you are using?

leoartz · Jan 2018

Thanks man, about the material , i use render the hi poly in maya with arnold with some custom materials :-)

Wouldnt be doing much work this weekend. and here is the progress so far of the texturing.Been painting the golden bits of the character so far,.Iam going for a painted metal look.Still a long way to go but nevertheless a small update
