ART WAR | 3D | Fiddly Meatpot | LoganShepard

Alright so it only made sense to give this awesome competition a go, I am thinking I will go with the fantasy route and make a Goblin Swashbuckler named something like Fiddly Meatpot or something similarly ridiculous. For the pirate motif I was thinking something similar to the French pirates of the 16th century. Pretty pumped!

Here is the Ref Board I will be working from. The top left image is a previous speed sculpt I did that will inspire how I create this guy as well.

Final update before bed.

More updates before starting to model his flintlock.

Well damn you almost look done, shoot congrats looks good i like the skull and swords holder, pretty kick ass.

Continue you got it covered.

Still a lot to do and add, but thank you very much . These types of competitions are always a lot of fun.

loganshepard 2016-12-20 03:22:28 UTC #8

Working on his retopo now, then more accessories.

loganshepard 2016-12-22 04:13:42 UTC #9

Some further progress on this guy, been super busy but want to make sure he keeps moving forward.

zyp 2016-12-22 08:04:50 UTC #10

Whoa at retopo already nice, any tips and trick.

Looks crazy good are you retopoing for more details or getting into almost texturing?

loganshepard 2016-12-22 08:11:30 UTC #11

@zyp
Thank you very much,
I am retopoing mainly so i can get more detail in the sculpting without having to project it all again. Plus I find a cathartic enjoyment in retopo .

Nice progress speed! Looks cool though.

loganshepard 2016-12-22 20:12:20 UTC #13

@fantasymaster
Thanks man, your entry is looking pretty cool as well.

loganshepard 2016-12-25 01:14:53 UTC #14

Despite all my busyness I have pushing this guy forward, still more assets to make before I can return to the sculpting fun.

loganshepard 2017-01-06 03:30:55 UTC #15

Don't worry guys, I am still progressing on this guy, finishing up the UVs and models needed in Maya. Moved to a new state at a new job so progress is a little slower but I hope to make the wait worth it

loganshepard 2017-01-08 03:06:16 UTC #16

Got him all UVd and projected, back to the sculpting fun then the equally fun texturing.

zyp 2017-01-08 12:21:47 UTC #17

Nice update, though i just noticed you uniformed the pants wrinkles. That is usually a no go cause it looks a bit odd and never happens in life plus it would just look cooler with different wrinkles.

A bit more work sure but probably worth it in the end, I was also looking at the functionality of the skull and swords can he really pull those out? I did notice the long line at the lower end but does the top end also have a similar line?
They are still cool looking.

^Hope this give ya a bit to think about, again just noticed this and giving input to as many peeps as i can.
Hope to see some cool stuff and things when you can and good to see him back.

loganshepard 2017-01-08 22:27:34 UTC #18

Great advice, I will go back through and adjust the pants and skull to make them less odd It is always good to go back through and make adjustments while I still can.

JoseFuentes 2017-01-09 16:36:59 UTC #19

oh man, i love the skull, sword holster. great work, the poly paint is coming along nicely too! great job!

loganshepard 2017-01-16 21:06:54 UTC #20

Making some more progress on this guy, posed his head so I could test texture stretching and see his mouth bits.
