Final Render:
Hey Guys,
A little while ago I started working on a dwarf character to use as a test model to improve my character art workflow. Any questions I come across or have noted will be applied to this character.If I get extra time want to make him into 3 separate heroes using the same base.
The heroes will be an Ranger (Archer), Sentinel (Heavy warrior), and Assassin.

Base body: Textures still WIP

Update for today is that the piece is now in Marm 3 and MAN IS THAT PROGRAM DOPE!! I worked on the hair using a Xgen hair as a base and game rezing it from there.
Get some colour variance in there as well? Flyaways?
@Elithenia i have a few but I'm currently working on another pass. I will say i need to work on making the current once thicker so they show up more lol
Taking a break from hair for a bit to work on the armor. Spending alot of time getting a good blockout for the major shapes and proportions. Once this is done ill have a good jumping off point for mid level details and some bigger accessories.
I'm going to start experimenting with a hood variations next. Cant have an archer without a dope hood.

I really like where the character is at so far. Next up is a nice platform to stand on for presentation and to find a good glam pose.
I wanted to point this out before you called it fin as its a minor thing but it helps with readability. I think you have some contrast and brightness issues which to be honest you can probably fix through post fx but its just something to keep an eye on. I did ultimately minor levels, hue and brightness adjustments in PS, but take it with a grain of salt as always and decided what works best for what you want in the end.
Thanks Charles
Looking to call this guy done for now with these final renders. Learned quite a bit doing this guy and I really want to carry that into my next project. Thank you all for the feedback on FB, here on PC and in the hangouts!
