ART WAR | 3D | Lord of Dark Waters | emkaKl

[emkakl]

Hello friends, I am Ema, a 17 year-old self-taught artist from Slovakia. I love creating characters, mainly monsters and aliens which have reeaally sharp teeth. Since I love monsters, I am joining here with my creature from dark seas. No one knows what this creature actually is. Is it a God of seas? or a Demon? Is it a guardian? Does it protect some treasure? That's unknown...
The character is being made in ZBrush and will be textured in Mari (Later I decided to polypaint it, so there was no use of Mari).
For now, enjoy the latest progress and tell me anything what you think, please!

Final picture + statue-like renders

1. There are some references and inspiration

1. Let us begin! Firstly I did some simple sketches so that I could imagine the shape of the character.

1. Then I started blocking in ZBrush...

1. Then I changed the chest because the first one was horrible

I like how you did the scales. Awesome creature design. Reminds me a bit of the kaiju from pacific rim.

I concur with fantasymaster 😄 Level 5 kaiju! Great job on the scale textures. It looks to be coming along nicely.

[emkakl]

Thank you very much ...I didn't think about kaiju because I want him to hold a some kind of scepter, because I want to make him look more like a god

A small progress from the last upload (started doing arms)

[emkakl]

Another progress
Still playing with adding scales... and finishing arms

And slowly moving on the back

[emkakl]

Weekend finally! I could work more
Started texturing!

[emkakl]

I did a test render and here the scales make a strong shadow. I am about to remake it, so that there is no shadow.

[emkakl]

The scales are already ok - continuing with texturing

[emkakl]

The sculpture still needs some work, but I tried some simple posing, because the scales are kinda tricky But I managed to pose them No problem

[emkakl]

I finally started polypainting. Later I will probably improve the textures in Mari. Not sure yet

[fantasymaster]

Oh man, I love this creature. Keep it up.

[emkakl]

Thank you very much!
Your Quiana is a masterpiece!!! Beautiful character. Good luck!
