Dr.Pestilen is an entity that spreads disease via miasma/infected air to it's victims. Though appearing human it is unknown whether the being is human, monster, mutant or even if it is alive. However, it is known that living beings who are within 10 yards of it will be beset by illness.

References for the 3D Plague Doc. Villain I am creating for the Art War.

Below is my very first rough sketch as my character is forming in my head.

Here I started to meld what I concepted earlier and started to give him poses, adding more defined details to what he is wearing, testing poses for personality of my character. (Just to make my villain look cool)

Quick base model meshup today, this will be sent to Zbrush for detailing and proper modelling for later Retopo.

Dr.Pestilen's basic Zsculpt is underway. Just creating a simple base body to get the general shape of the figure before adding in extra items and designing the boxpack he will wear on his back.

Extra Concepting done, trying to figure out the look and shape of the villain as I work on the base body.

I've been thinking up of the kind of mechanical wooden metal pack Dr Pestilen maybe using to carry and wield the tools of the craft. I was thinking to put Cogs in but I erased them out and went for a more minimalist design.

Spent a day retopoing this base body, extra parts and gear I will plan to add from my designs very soon!
I hope you enjoy my progress.

The placements of my UVs are temporary measures...

Basic Body layout and added Mechanical BackPack with coat has been added to character. I think the coat will look great once properly textured and a little bit of Normal and/or bump added.
Mechanical Arm Base will be added tomorrow on 12/09/18.

Today.... I fixed his fingers and hands to look better than previous iterations, previously they look bloated and off. Now they have some more shape and the finger tips are made pointy.
I've added the giant tube arm manlet thingy on the left arm and connected a hose to it like some sort of victorian contraption and done some touch ups to the coat.

I still need to redo the peak/nose/mask.

Quick progress update, added extendable side aid arms for the Dr.Pestilen. I will be adding more detail in a later iteration.

Into Zbrush today crafting the back emblem seal on the backpack. Yes. It looks plenty nasty for me. Nnnyeeeesssss...

Tactical_Plushie 2018-12-13 01:28:39 UTC #12

Today, I cleaned up my original backplate sculpt of my characters backpack as well as retopologising the plate and pack.

cool idea, love those plague doctor masks, keep it up!

Tactical_Plushie 2018-12-13 21:42:16 UTC #15

Thank you kind sir! :3

Tactical_Plushie 2018-12-13 21:46:32 UTC #16

High level detailing and some concept rearrangements done today.

Tactical_Plushie 2018-12-15 21:20:51 UTC #17

It took longer than normal to update, UVing took a while longer.
The UVs are not finals because they are still a mess but the base body is coming together before I start hand painting the character.

Tactical_Plushie 2018-12-17 05:03:30 UTC #18

Got pretty busy today, but I managed some time to keep on chugging with this. Hope you'll enjoying the progress so far.

This is my first time creating shirt folds, it was honestly pretty fun and a found it a good learning experience, though its not AAA great its good. Nothing beats looking at your own shirt.

Yes his left arm is meant to be short.

Witness the wonder that is NORMALS!!!, Im still learning and honestly these came out better than I thought. I added a base paint layer as well as using a dirt brush to brush in the green grime and brown dirt in there and I got this awesome result for the outer coat. 3D is so awesome!!!

Tactical_Plushie 2018-12-21 02:13:15 UTC #21

Today I decided to leap to another software, 3Dcoat from Substance painter to handle the texturing. Things are good.
