Star Wars Background Characters Project

matthew_bailey · Mar 2018

Hey guys, this is my first post on this site, and I decided to dedicate it to my current project: modeling out background characters from the Star Wars franchise. This first one I finished a week ago (made in ZbrushCore), and I posted this onto both Sketchfab and ArtStation. I appreciate all comments! (link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/94BEy)

While I know who it is right off I feel his head should be wider in general ☺

This is my current project, Willrow Hood, from Empire Strikes Back. I am still working on him, and will hopefully finish within the week. In the meantime, feel free to critique me on what I did right and what I could improve on! Who should I model out next? (link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eB1Qb)

Thanks for the feedback! When I get the chance I'll make this correction.

Hey to anyone who's following me! This is what I have worked on today (I was a little slow because I wasn't sure how exactly I should go about posing him). You may have noticed that I changed his hair a bit, and I gave him eyebrows which I forgot to do previously. Let me know if you think I'm sculpting in the right direction.

Here's my reference in case you're wondering.

Whoa, that first model isn't done yet. How much polish are you planning to give each character?

Brian "Panda" Choi, I had not thought about polishing. I'm still learning the ropes of Zbrush

I'd polish the models instead of pumping out these quick sketches.

Skinner3D Brian "Panda" Choi, I took your advice on my first sculpt of Dr. Evazan. I reshaped his head to be slightly wider in general, and I added some touchups here and there along with some clay polishing. Mind you, I know that it's not perfect, but I feel that it is an improvement. (ArtStation link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/94BEy)

Seems like an improvement. I'd also get the clothes less lumpy looking and clean up the look of them. Hard to tell what the vest, shirt, and pants are made.
