Portfolio 2 Week 1 SWAG Monster

 I am making the monster for a game being developed by SWAG. It will be a spooky thing following the main character of the game. It is a wendigo-type monster that was originally going to have more of a werewolf design, hence the werewolf sketches and ref board. I'll still try to incorporate features of a werewolf. This is a proxy/low res version that is still in development.

Week 1  - Design proxy/low res

Week 2 - Finish fleshing out the low res and finish high res

Week 3 - Retopo

Week 4 - Texture

I plan to make the monster have more features from these sketches. 

Portfolio 1 Week 4 Final Turn In

"Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars - Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."
I wish I did you better justice Conan. I did as much as I could with the time I had. Conan didn't turn out as awesome as I imagined. I used Substance Painter instead of 3D Coat. I didn't have enough time to learn a new program and I also wanted to see if I could develop a painterly style with Substance. In Unreal, I had specularity issues with the AO around Conan's hair and legs, which is why it looks odd. I also would have posed him in Zbrush. I would improve upon everything if I redid this assignment. Hannah's lighting rig was used for the Unreal screenshots. Thanks Hannah!

Sprint #2 Delivery Angel VS Demon *Mature Content Warning of Nudity*

*Mature Content Warning of Nudity* Since the last sprint, I redesigned and remade the demon proxy. The high res version is not complete, but the form is established in order to start retopologizing and to send it off asap for the rigger and animator. Once the retopology is done, I will have plenty of time to refine the high res and texture. Whoo-hoo! The demon Asmodeus is a demon of lust. He has some obvious male genitalia, and the mouth running down the entire front is the female aspect. Watched an Alien marathon while sculpting the high-res. H.R.Giger is a big influence on the design of the details.

I am having trouble connecting to perforce to push the files. Will push them asap.

Portfolio 1 Week 3

 For week 3 of Conan, I retopologized and UVed Conan and his accessories. Conan's body parts are on one UV map, and his accessories on another. I fixed his axe to look better in structure, as well as some of his anatomy. At the moment, I am having trouble baking Conan's sword. Once I get that fixed, it's onward to 3D Coat.

Week 1 - Plan and Low res

Wek 2 - High Res

Week 3 - Retopo and practice Coat 3D.

Week 4 - Texture with coat 3D, pose.

Poly Count - 41,106 (will try to reduce this)

Portfolio 1 Week 2 Mid Project

Conan Week 2 High Res. It's getting there. I prefer higher quality, but this will have to do for now. Learned how to make brushes for the fur pelt. Tried using spline brushes for the hair, which didn't work out well, so I sculpted the hair with Orb crack brushes.

Week 1 - Plan and Low res

Wek 2 - High Res

Week 3 - Retopo and practice Coat 3D. Pose?

Week 4 - Texture with coat 3D

Inspiration

 

Angel VS Demon Sprint #1 Delivery *Mature Content Warning - Nudity and graphic pictures*

 *Mature Content Warning* I am making the demon Asmodeus for an animated diorama scene with an angel vs demon in a post-apocalyptic city. For the first sprint's assignment of my team portfolio project in common art, I sculpted the demon proxy in Zbrush. There is a lot to flesh out because the demon is complex. He is a combination of a human, bull, goat, and dragon. I plan to make the rear goat face smaller.

Portfolio 1 Week 1

I chose to make Conan for my first portfolio piece to practice human anatomy and metal and cloth texture. I plan to use Coat 3d for texturing for the first time. I'll follow the normal four week route to complete the project:

Week 1 - Plan and Low res

Wek 2 - High Res

Week 3 - Retopo and practice Coat 3D

Week 4 - Texture with coat 3D

Low Res. Still working on the loin cloth and boots.

Inspired by this comic book cover.
