Smol update due to being pretty busy this past week! Got some good critiques and redid the clothing, looking much better now. Started refining the body as well. Hoping to get a lot more done this weekend! C&C appreciated!

mchocholek · Apr 2018

Just cuz you're dead doesn't mean you cant get them gains.

Calling refinement done, moving on to the detail pass next

Got some good advice on the color for this dude, and decided to redo it a bit. Couple pieces left to color and then on to retopo. Critiques are always welcome

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/ro/j6jvdvgr5er7.png

mchocholek · May 2018

And done with the base paint. Moving on to retopo and UV

Back at it again with this boofer. Old ones were ugly, trying to do something more toy like and appealing. Should be doing fairly consistent updates again. Maybe.

Very cool stuff here!

)

I have one question to your "necromancer"-Retopolgy..
above the toes there are triangles.. is this on purpose for rigging?

mchocholek · Aug 2018

Thank you!
The triangles in between the toes are meant for rigging, but the ones above the toes are meant to help reduce the poly count. I wanted to limit my use of polys for optimization, since I mostly do film res kind of models and this was my first go at a full game character.
