Hey ShadowDragon first of all I will say bravo for being proactive and getting creative and modelling something. Getting motivated enough to actually start learning some software and having a go at modelling is half the battle, so you're already moving forward. :-) I will attempt to give a few pointers, which are obviously…
When composing a mask from multiple layers, they need to use an appropriate blend mode. If it's left at 'replace' the layer on top will replace the one below. On more complex models I often create folders for the different material IDs with the corresponding mask. Other than vertex color, I like to use different materials…
Created base shape for props. Decided to make buildings as a constructor with a big parts for the more interesting shapes, but in the future planning to break it for the smaller parts to make it universal. While modeling I'm listening chill Halloween music for the mood )
Yeah, your characters looks simply ugly and deformed to be brutally honest. That's why you don't get a job. You wouldn't want to play a game with these characters neither, would you? :) You picked the hardest part first. That's why you are stuck. Character design is nothing that you start with.

Progress Update! I tried to figure out what I could change before I started to do a sketch over the wip so I could start to paint over it. The changes I made are a slight variation for the zombie pose ( too static) and the tomb design ( a little bland ). Corrected the pose and anatomy of Jinx and I also changed the rocket…
This vid showing the software in use; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuuaHxLldgo U can select two colors and set how much height this color represent from a mask. U can also set vaules per color for smoothness, metallic et.c I have viewed b2M tutorials on youtube, I am not sure I have found such masking features (might be…
Just like the cartoon Optimus is going to beat the pants off Galvatron... This compitition was super fun, I am glad to have been able to be a part of it.
The blue gloves and pants are too highly saturated compared to the red hood, pulling all the attention away from the most important part of a character, the face.
