Hey everybody,
I’m working on a personal project in my down time. I took a little detour from the traditional “super soldier” and I am doing some fan art based on the Sea Otters from South Park. I’m keeping most of the basic design of their armor but adding details and fleshing out forms when necessary, such as in the boots so far, and will render in a grittier style like the gun below. Gloves are just stand-ins for now. I plan on modeling the inside of the mouth, helmet and the laser eye piece as well. I started with a dynamesh for the body and modeled armor in Maya and cleaned up in Z-brush. Hair/fur clipping through the armor wont be an issue as it will be baked separately in the end. I’m trying to decide whether or not to let the fur stick out between arm armor or if I want to have an under armor. To give myself some structure I’m going to restrict myself to the Dominance war rules on polycount and texture memory. Crits, comments and suggestions are welcomed.
Reference shown is all South Park studios work.
I completed the rifle a while back. I’ll dial down the dirt/grime on it a little. I plan on doing a small environment for the final piece.
Heres the episodes if anyone interested:
