WIP Female Warlock (nudity)

Greetings Humans :stuck_out_tongue: !!
I think that’s my actual 1st thread !! WOo hoo!
(Little presentation, I’m French and just graduated as a Master in Game Art, specializing in as a character Artist @ Teesside Uni. UK; I’ve been working on my freetime with Zb for almost 2 years now! ^^)

Anyway, the interesting bit:

Here’s a character i’m doing for a friend’s game project on udk !

I’m going to update this thread regularly !
Still in the early stage !

I originally started last week, using a male base mesh, and turned it into a girl, the result was quite good for working without references… but my file got corrupted somehow, and ZB crashed each time i tried to open the file… :S

So I restarted today, from scratch this time, with Zspheres, and no reference again ^^!

I must say i’m quite pleased with the current results! Much better than the previous iteration ( have some screens to compare ! )

1st iteration, from male base_mesh

Lips aren’t as good as I wish, because, I don’t have enough Density there, even with 8M…
I’m going to retopologize the whole thing, and fix them then ! :slight_smile:

Comments and Critics are more than welcomed! Thank you!

:smiley:

hey Update :slight_smile:
I’ve done my retopology to rework the face :slight_smile: and moved on to the rest of the character.
Done most of the clothing, still need to add some details in :slight_smile:
Tweaked the face a bit, added eye lashes.

I’m going to rework the hair, since it doesn’t work well with the hood.
Enjoy!
C & C please ! :stuck_out_tongue:

Good start … make sure to check plenty of anatomical references! :+1:

#4

Thanks :slight_smile: I sure will !
It’d be great if the errors could be pointed at :wink: !

#5

I like Warlocks :wink:

From a character design point of view, I would reconsider the shackles. As a warlock, she is (hopefully) in charge of things, so tying up he wrists would need an explanation other than that it looks good, or she’ll appear weaker than she is and more like a servant than a mistress of magic.

#6

Hum, the game is like a sort of arena but instead of gladiators, it’ll be mages/wizards/warlock .p

So I went with the idea of “slaves” mages, therefore the chains… :wink:
The background story needs to be developped anyway so it might change in the future.
That’s easy to remove!

#7

One big problem is with the knees, especially the back view. You have a concave area when it’s really subtly convex; also, the inner and outer tendons which “sandwich” this area seem to be missing. Just some observations…

#8

Update!
Re worked the knee and some other proportions :slight_smile: ( using some references this time ;D )
Re did the new hair today.
Did the nails as well.

I also started working on her staff in 3dsMax… need to finish the unwrap and then i’ll sculpt it.

Now, question, i’m not sure about the leggings (represented by the mask)… TO keep or not to keep?.. that’s the question .

nice sculpt :cool:

#10

I think you need some serious adjustment on the ear. No offense but it needs some major tweaks. Also your head shape is not quite right. You might want to check it.

#11

xD god 4weeks… been that long ?
well I’ve been busy with Minecraft, and then started working again on the project with the game mesh :slight_smile: about 10days ago.

Here’s a small video after today ( 1st day of texturing )
Still a lot of things to complete and tweaks on diffuse and normal ( might need to rebake some stuff )

really like what you did with the chain ilike the design you can make it more cooler by adding a sphere on his breast where the chain meets and bind it with the chain after that make 2 more chains and pass it aroun the back from the shoulder it just my opinion otherwise i like what u did… good…:slight_smile:

#13

Thanks dude xD
I realize I haven’t update this thread in ages. The design slightly changed over time, I sculpted the character as I wasn’t happy at all with the proportions, and changed the design quite a bit.
I never finished it though, as the project it was for never got completed. I guess I should but Im working on other stuff right now.

Anyway I should finish/tweak her at some point.
