WIP thread - Tom Hankins

[hankins]

Hi there,
This is my first post on ZBC but i've been following lots of you guys for the past year or so. I thought I'd upload some stuff aswell!
This first piece is a quicky sculpt, done in 1,5 hrs. I took a decimated version into maya to mess around with shading and compositing SSS, the result can be seen in the turntable.
Let me know what you think, I'll be posting more soon!
-Tom

Great stuff, I really like the style, he reminds me a little bit of Mr Incredible

[hankins]

Thnx guys!
I've also had people say he kinda looks like kratos, from god of war:P

[Santis]

Really nice sculpt. Looking forward to more.

To anybody who may give a damn, here's how I comped this guy.
Missing some surface detail in the passes other than the colormap...
I really hate to use the SSS shaders by themselves, so I output serveral diffirent layers and combine them in comp:

[ioster]

Can you go into more detail about how you combined the different passes?

[hankins]

sure, will make something to explain this in a few days!

At first, here are a few of my shaders:

I'll probably make a screencap movie of how to composit these passes within the next few days

[hankins]

I've added a lot of new details to this guy.

I'll probably end up painting a skin texture, I also want to create a full body

Amazing job man.
