Portalgeist, with the ability to unzip the very fabric of reality to slip in and out of wherever he so chooses undetected is a world renown thief. At least he would be if anyone could catch a sighting of him.

Thats a really cool idea! Wish you luck =)

I love that concept!

Really like this concept. Excited to see what comes of this one.

Thanks guys I appreciate it! I'm hoping I can make it all look good in the final project and do Portalgeist some justice!

Blocking everything out, while I get that all finished up, heres the man behind the mask!

Sculpting pretty much done, might throw in a lil backpack for him and talking it over with some people, but the vast majority of this is done, just need to punch in some details and stuff!

I feel super guilty, I basically did nothing but play Persona 4 and 5 over the course of over a week and got absolutely no work done. Well back to it, I did the retopo, did the UVs, and this is the bake. Time to take the 'ol fella into Substance Painter and give it a good run through the texture phase while I can!

Stuff in Substance Painter was kind of a living hell, it went all haywire for a reason I couldnt diagnose, so I had to restart the texturing. Also redid the armor a wee bit to make it a bit more interesting.

I'm incredibly shocked to say this but I MIGHT ACTUALLY FINISH! Hurray!

At this point just gotta clean stuff up, get everything all displayed nice'n purty like and wrap everything up nice and tight!

Doing some additional work on posing, I'd really like to add some particle effects around the portals and zippered bits, if anyone has any advice on how to go about that it'd be much appreciated!

This is looking awesome! I really like the characters power! One thing you could potentially try for the effect, is to have mesh planes set up around the edges of your portals. then set them up to render double sided, and flat lit with transparency, and draw your effects or glows etc on a texture sheet. Similar to setting up a sprite sheet based animation, but your not animating the UV's. Dunno if that helps, but thought id suggest it.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it, I always kind of prefer superpowers that are more utility focused rather than raw-combat type powers.

Also, I really like that idea! I don't think I'll be able to knock out Maya particle effects and making that exist in Marmoset properly in a timely fashion, so I'll probably do just that and create some sort of fog texture sheet and go all old school WoW-tree on it, or maybe try to figure out that weird effect where an object kind of tracks the camera so that you cant tell its a flat plane, the one that WoW uses for its weird new Void portal stuff.

Made a turntable. Trying out a weird lil skybox for display purposes, but I'm not sure I'm really feeling it.

Figuring out how to make this look great is killin' me...
