Dojo - The Dark Ages Samurai

[fabianloing]

Hi everybody!

I have not posted anything here for a long time now and I have finally finished a new character and would like to share with everyone.

It is based from the Spawn action figure : Dojo.
I started this character a long time ago and stopped working on it for a long time too due to the fact I have been moving from place to places. But now it is done.
I tried to make the 3d realization of the character as close to the concept as possible. There are many design changes along the way. I definitely had a lot of fun with this one and learnt a lot too.

Some of the parts are started with base meshes ( such as the body, and accessories) , other parts are made with Dynamesh ( such as the little lion statue in the background. )
Materials, lightings, renders are all done in Zbrush with Lightcap after polypainted it.
I then take all the layers of renders ( Color, Shadows, AO,etc ) into photoshop for final composition.

I do have the greyscaled version and will post them soon.

I hope you guys like it and as always, any critiques, comments or inputs are most welcome.

Thank you for viewing and have a great day.

@SketchZombie : Thank you sir! I did try to make the whole feel to be centered on the characters. I am real happy that you can feel that way.
@tuff : Thank you.
@strangehighways: Thank you.
@Gary Komar : Thank you Gary!
@kallesh3d : Thank you sir!

I would like to share the non-painted versions of the character, screenshot of polypainted version and also the reference that I used to make it.
I am trying to create a better render quality for this character with multiple different materials. I will post something again when I got something descent.

Thank you again for viewing!

I don’t comment much on here, but I had to say something on this one. I love this, your design changes actually make the character better. In all honesty your renders and finished model look better then the action figure itself. I think McFarlane would be proud… Awesome work, hope to see some more from you.

Now,
I have just finished rendering a new pass for Dojo and I think I love how it looks now.
What do you guys feel? I hope you guys will like it.
Here are the Final Render of Dojo with all the layers that are created through LightCap + the Wax effect.
They consist of Shadow pass, Depth Pass, AO Pass, Color Pass, Mask Pass and the render itself.

Thank you again for viewing and have a wonderful weekend!
