ART WAR | 3D | Gehenna | Zolizzo

@fantasymaster - Thank you so much I'm pretty happy with her face myself, just gotta decide if I'm doing cards or if I'm sticking with sculpted hair.

We'll see!

[zolizzo]

I think I'm about as happy as I'm gonna get with my high poly at this point. Moving on to retopology.

Thanks for stopping by

I think you had an interesting ideas and initial concepts, but from looking at the zbrush model, I couldn't tell if she was supposed to be fantasy or sci-fi. I only really got the proper vibe after I read that she was supposed to hunting Demons/Angels and that thing on her back is supposed to be an upside-down cross.

One thing I would consider is maybe incorporate more religious, faith or belief based imagery: for example is she based on a Catholic nun? Buddhist monk? Jewish rabbi? Satanic priest? Something of that sort is usually associated strongly with the idea of Demon/Angel hunter and could really help sell the design and story of your character.

Keep at it!

@alemja - Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm about to head to work, so I'll have to take the day and think about it, and see what I can do. Now that you mention it, she could absolutely need some stronger reads. So easy to forget these things!

Maybe it would be cool to focus more on the hunter aspect of it than the religious, and have her carry some sort of spoils or trophies around? Either way, she definitely needs more work in the design department.

Thank you again for taking the time to give me feedback on this! 💝

[zolizzo]

Woo, decided to add some more stuff to boost her actual character a bit more. Should hopefully be clearer what she's about when these parts are all done!

Thanks for stopping by <3

[zolizzo]

Let the ponytail go, and finished sculpt on the rest of the pieces. Wing and hair are sort of blobby, but will be supplmented with cards if all goes according to plan (as if anything does kekeke)

Thanks again for checking out my character!

[zazie]

really cool Zol, keep going^^

[enalya]

Really cool sculpt! I might just remove that wing part to be honest, it's a bit out of place and busy imo. And I'd expect her feet to be a bit bigger.

[zolizzo]

UPDATE! Got the bakes done - not perfect but I'm satisfied for now
Onwards to texturing sweats

@zazie Thanks! I'm really hoping to catch the deadline lol!

@enalya Thanks so much! I definitely agree with you, already decided to drop it, but not before spending an excessive amount of time retopoing it of course! haha - for the feet I know they should probably be bigger, but I like the way it looks with slightly too small feet
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to give me feedback, really appreciate it

[enalya]

Ah I see, looks much better imo Wish you the best, ofc you can make it!!

[zolizzo]

Alright, I'm cooked. I've been staring at this for so long I have no idea how to improve things anymore, so while there is still time, please lay on me any crits you might have!

Love, Zol!

[enalya]

Incredible work man!
Maybe, to make her more dynamic, bend her upper body over forward from the core. Jumping like that makes it look weird to me that she's so straight up.

[zolizzo]

@enalya - I have changed her pose a little, not forward and not too drastic but I feel like it helps a lot still

Gonna call it good and focus on presentation going forward, so I'm not gonna share anything more until I'm done with it! (I'm a bit of a baby like that hahah)

[zazie]

Very cool Zol. It looks great ^^

[zolizzo]

Alright! Final image time!
