Notink · May 2019

Hi all ^^

Here is another character that I am working on during my free time. As always I am looking for feedback on everything.

Thanks in advance !

Here is the weapon made for this character, it's only the low poly but I am not sure if I should had more polygons or start the high poly now.

Whoa those are some crazy shoes! Posing and balancing her with those on might be a challenge. I assume it's based off of the Japanese wooden sandles. Is there a reason for her shoes to only have one stub?

Notink · May 2019

Yes, those are inspired from geta, but I agree it's definitely not practical ^^'. I have tried other shapes (they are only blockouts for now) but I don't know, maybe another one of those shapes is better ?

If you want to stick with just having one stub you can go with something similar the one on the far right. You can drill a hole through it if you want to keep that too. Now if you want to switch to having two studs while keeping the hole I think the one next to the far right is a pretty good.

Notink · May 2019

Well, here is how it looks so far with the new shoes. I had time to work a bit more on the mask too.

I think these sandles much more practical and gives you a little more wiggle room for different types of poses. The masking has a really good start. I think you just need to clean up the shapes a bit. For the fangs of the mask you can the shape so that it has a nice curve. I did a draw over since I'm not the best at explaining things.

So here are the changes for the mask. I tried to add a gourd to her belt, but I am not sure, is it too much ?

I think the gourd is a good addition! It makes her sides look less empty.

Notink · Jun 2019

I just had the time to add some small details for today, so I started to work on the hat. So far I have found three interesting shapes but I don't know which one is the best. I will work on the ties when I am sure of the shape I will choose. For the moment I think that the first one is the most adequate.

Here are some progresses on the character. I decided to change the weapon's design since it looked more like a ceremonial weapon and I wanted to make a practical weapon.

A quick update with the blockout of the textures on my character, the weapon is on its way too and the baking for the normals and the AO is finally finished

And here is the posing with a quick render in Marmoset. For the posing I made a quick skinning with the biped from 3ds max.

Like it, man! Maybe she needs some pants? haha

Notink · Jul 2019

Well, I was asking myself the same question, but on the reference I use for the pants there is nothing more so I will do some variations and later choose the best.
